Happiest Day minigames and the spirits tied to them

if you decide to play Happiest Day in-between each minigame, you'll find that each minigame results in each spirit appearing.
On it's own you could say it's coincidental, but pair this up with the order of the 4 children missing from the party in FNAF 4 and you'll find they match up pretty well.
Made this video just to showcase you can determine which spirit is tied to each minigame though since I don't really see people discuss that or record it.

oh good god doughboi's back on the theory arc...

These mini games are still goated If there’s one nitpick, FredBear kind of feels out of place here.
Every character that assistance is from Fnaf 2.
Shadow Bonnie
Toy chica
Mangle : doesn’t give cake, but helps find one
Balloon boy
Puppet as the final
Also shadow Freddy in follow me.
So you think logically the next one should be toy Freddy but it’s not it’s FredBear. But that’s just a little oddity. It’s not even a problem.

I think I have a greater understanding of these mini games now
In the original story all of the mini games are the children memories and the characters that are chosen our special to the spirits in someway.
The one who controls the characters is the puppet spirit. This is why mangle doesn’t set any children free as they’re a part of the puppet memory and why every character has cake afterwords. Also explaining the shadow puppet.
Puppet controls all the characters except for one shadow Bonnie, who is actually the real shadow Bonnie.
This is why he’s able to glitch through all the mini games he different from the others because he’s not the puppet. The soul he set gets is Bonnie as for why Bonnie is different from the others it could be that Bonnie soul is way more depressed than the other and didn’t have a character to connect to.
So in a nutshell: the secret mini games are puppet and shadow bonnie working together to bring all the souls to the birthday party. Puppet gets Freddy chica and foxy shadow bonnie gets Bonnie.
It’s also likely that the spirits are possessing the building itself which is why the mini games are able to be access through touching stuff in the location.

[@GodittoC]

Wait, the foxy mask kid's minigame takes place at fredbears?
Talk about foreshadowing

[@Wonskaaa]

I can describe this with, nice attention to detail there!

[@loganmontes7837]

This is probably my favorite mini games out of the franchise :)

[@kyletheorangeguy7090]

Something that throws me off is that's the crying child that Shadow Bonnie gives cake to is different from the rest, the one that's supposed to (I think) represent Jeremy.

oh my happiest day from freds 3

[@EflowArc]

I like feddy fazlick

[@qua_xor3348]

I always imagined that fnaf 3 is the ending of the fnaf franchise as a whole. I also love the idea of the final minigame. Being of William's spirit. Realizing what he has done was a terrible mistake and is trying to help the souls pass on while masking himself as another shadow creature. Still knowing that even if he succeeds his mistake will not be undone and he will still be punished for it.
