FNF B-Sides is a remix mod for Friday Night Funkin' that reimagines the base game's weeks. Released in 2021, it gives every character a new pastel color palette and replaces the original songs with remixed versions. The name comes from the music industry, where a "B-side" is the alternate track on a single. For players who know the original songs by heart, B-Sides offers a fresh way to experience them.

How to Play FNF B-Sides: Rules and Objectives

Play through the familiar weeks against Daddy Dearest, the Spooky Kids, Pico, Mommy Mearest, the Christmas couple and Senpai. Hit arrows in time with the remixed music to keep the health bar on your side and clear each week.

• Remixed Songs: Every track has a new arrangement with different patterns.
• New Visual Style: Pastel colors and redesigned sprites give the game a new look.
• Fresh Charts: Note patterns match the remixes, so even veterans must relearn songs.
• Difficulty Options: Choose Easy, Normal or Hard.

Controls and Movement Guide

• Hit Notes: Arrow keys or W, A, S, D.

3. Listen Closely: New instrumentation changes the rhythm.
4. Use Freeplay: Practice tricky songs individually.

Why Remix Mods Are Popular

Remix mods like B-Sides let players enjoy familiar characters and stories with new music. B-Sides was one of the first and most popular, and its pastel style became iconic. It inspired many other alternate-version mods, showing the creativity of the FNF community.

Cognitive and Educational Benefits

• Adaptability: Relearning songs builds flexible thinking.
• Musical Appreciation: Comparing remixes to originals develops listening skills.
• Timing: Rhythm play sharpens coordination.

Tips for Veteran FNF Players

If you know the original FNF songs well, B-Sides can be tricky because familiar melodies now have different note patterns. Try to listen to each remix carefully rather than relying on memory. Playing in Freeplay first lets you learn the new charts song by song. You may find some remixes easier and others noticeably harder than their originals, which keeps the experience fresh. Comparing your scores between the original and remixed versions is a fun way to measure how well you adapt.
