“Think outside the box!”
Marionette's Loading Screen,

Marionette is an unlockable character in FNaF World.

Appearance

The Marionette has a very similar appearance to its counterpart from the mainline series, being smaller, having slightly thicker limbs, and a rounder mask. It appears to have stumps at the end of its legs.

It also has fewer stripes th the Marionette from the mainline seriesre, having a total of 2, instead of 28.

Attacks

Prize Ball 2 fw Performs a random advanced attack.
Mystery Box fw Swaps out all party members for random characters. They go back to normal after the battle is over.
Esc key fw This attack can insta-kill more than one enemy, but it has a lower chance than Unscrew.

Strategy

Marionette's only attack that deals damage is Prize Ball 2, which deals a randomly selected attack. The "esc" key is good against groups of difficult enemies. If the party is about to be destroyed, players can use Mystery Box to randomly select party members to assist during battle.

Trivia

  • Marionette has fewest counterparts than any other character in the game, if the Paperpals are excluded.
  • Its bio from its in-game loading screen is a pun on the screen saying, "think outside the box".
    • This is a reference to how the Marionette slowly escapes from its box when left unattended in Five Nights at Freddy's 2.
    • This is also played on in its phantom variation, which states to “put it back in the box!”.
  • The character's in-game name is referred to as "Marionette", which was a common fan-given name, at the time.
    • This may be to avoid association with the 'puppet-master' mentioned by the 8-Bit Fredbear.
    • This could also just be another name for itself.
    • This name change could be result of the name of Marionette's counterpart from Five Nights at Freddy's 4, Nightmarionne. 
    • Furthermore, the character was originally called The Puppet in the FNaF World trailer, leading to speculation on the character's true name.
      • However, it is likely that the "puppet-master" wasn't yet created during that time.
    • It was confirmed by the United State Copyright Catalog and Intellectual Property Right (IPR) that the Puppet's and Phantom Puppet's official names are Marionette and Phantom Marionette.
    • "The Puppet" could also be its given nickname similar Mangle.
  • Marionette is one of the two characters in the game that can float, the other being the Paperpals. This is a possible reference to the Puppet from the games, who is seen floating in the minigames.
    • However, Marionette appears to look more like it's being pulled by strings.
  • In the 1.20 update, Nightmarionne was confirmed as a playable character along with Nightmare BB.
    • Interestingly, Nightmarionne does not use the Marionette's model nor Phantom Marionette's teeth, instead, it uses its original model but resized.
  • Marionette appears to be thicker than its original counterpart.
  • Marionette's Mystery Box move may be a reference to the fact that it hides in a box in Five Nights at Freddy's 2.
  • Marionette is one of the two characters to use "Bite" when challenged, the other being Phantom Marionette.
