Unlocking Pico as a Playable Character
In most versions of Friday Night Funkin’, Pico isn’t directly selectable from the main menu. However, there are several ways to experience playing as this iconic orange-haired character depending on which version or mod you’re using.
Week 3 Encounter
Pico appears as the main antagonist in Week 3, where you’ll face off against him in three intense rap battles: Pico, Philly Nice, and Blammed. During these songs, you’re still playing as Boyfriend, but you get to experience Pico’s challenging rhythm patterns and aggressive style.
Modded Versions and Alternatives
Many fan-made mods allow you to actually control Pico directly. These modifications often swap character models or create entirely new storylines where Pico takes center stage. Popular mods include “Pico’s School” crossovers and character swap versions.
Gameplay Mechanics When Playing as Pico
When you do get to play as Pico (through mods or special versions), the core rhythm gameplay remains the same:
- Use arrow keys or WASD to hit notes in time with the music
- Match the scrolling arrows as they reach the judgment line
- Maintain your health bar by hitting notes accurately
- Miss too many notes and you’ll lose the battle
Pico’s Unique Style
What makes playing as Pico special is his distinct personality and animations. He’s more aggressive and edgy compared to Boyfriend’s cheerful demeanor. His songs typically feature faster tempos and more complex note patterns that reflect his rebellious character.
