# Friday Night Funkin Mods Friday Night Funkin' Mods are fan-made add-ons for the rhythm game Friday Night Funkin', ranging from character reskins to full-week song packs with new antagonists. The scene took off in late 2020 and turned Game Banana into one of the busiest mod hubs online, with breakout characters like Whitty, Tricky and Garcello pulling millions of downloads. ## Overview Friday Night Funkin' Mods are user-made modifications for the open source rhythm game Friday Night Funkin', which pits the character Boyfriend against a rotating cast of opponents in arrow-matching rap battles[1]. Mods range from small reskins swapping Boyfriend's Girlfriend for a new character, all the way up to full-week packs with brand new antagonists, original songs, voice-acted cutscenes and custom stages[2]. The scene lives mostly on Game Banana, which by June 2021 hosted over 2,000 downloadable FNF mods and made the game one of the site's dominant categories[3]. Standout characters born inside these mods, like the bomb-headed Whitty, the Madness Combat clown Tricky, and the chain-smoking Garcello, jumped out of the game to become their own fan-art franchises on Twitter, TikTok and YouTube[2]. ## How It Spread The scene exploded in early 2021. On February 1st, 2021, KadeDeveloper released the V.S. Whitty full-week mod on Game Banana, adding three songs and a bomb-headed antagonist known for high difficulty and cinematic between-song cutscenes[1]. It pulled over 2.1 million downloads in three months and turned Whitty into a fan-art staple, often shipped with bbpanzu's Carol in follow-up animations[3]. On March 13th, 2021, Genox and evdial dropped a Hatsune Miku full-week mod with four original tracks that reached roughly 842,000 downloads in two months[5]. Character mods kept driving the growth. Banbuds' V.S. Tricky mod, posted March 16th, 2021, brought Madness Combat's Tricky the Clown into FNF and passed 1.2 million downloads in two months, pushing the wider Madness series back into the spotlight[3]. Two days later, Dokki.doodlez, Mike Geno and kuroao_anomal launched Sarvente's Mid-Fight Masses, a full-week mod starring a nun character that cleared 1.7 million downloads by June 2021[2]. On May 3rd, 2021, atsuover's Garcello mod, about a heavy smoker trying to peer-pressure Boyfriend, was showcased by YouTuber Gegcoin in a video that hit 3.8 million views in a week[3]. Mods also drove crossover memes and drama. Sulayre's Vs. Matt, released April 5th, 2021, pulled the Wii Sports Mii into FNF and spawned Reddit joke posts on r/FridayNightFunkin about kids growing up thinking Matt was an FNF character[3]. The V.S. TABI Ex Boyfriend mod by Homskiy, posted May 16th, 2021, gained over 521,000 downloads in a month but sparked a public fight after Whitty creator sock.clip accused Homskiy of stealing idle-animation ideas, leading sock.clip to step back from modding[3]. ## How to Use Fans typically play FNF Mods by downloading them from Game Banana and dropping them into a local copy of Friday Night Funkin', with the most popular format being a "full-week" pack that adds a new antagonist, three or more songs, custom charts and often cutscenes[1]. Common conventions include naming mods with a "V.S. [Character]" prefix, releasing V2 or "remastered" versions when a character catches on (as bbpanzu did with Carol V2), and pairing the release with a YouTube showcase video to drive downloads[3]. ## Frequently Asked Questions ### What is Friday Night Funkin Mods?
