Filbo Brings The House Down: Major Celebration, also referred to as Major Celebration!, is the first half of the fourth event of the story. It becomes available after getting Shelda and Floofty back to Snaxburg and having convinced Eggabell to do so too, even if she will not be present.

It is the Point of No Return - the game alerts the player of it once having interacted with Filbo to activate it. The events that follow will be auto-saved and after completing the game the player will be set back before the Point of No Return. If one closes the game during the Major Celebration, they will be put back before the Point of No Return as well.

Filbo is ecstatic with everyone's return and his involvement with Eggabell's potential return, having successfully convinced her in her Main Quest, which gives him more confidence in himself. As he promised during last event, Snaxburg Isn't Safe, they would have a big party upon everyone's return.[1]

The expedition team is socializing and all have some excuse to not hit the dance floor just yet. As such The Journalist is set on a small task to convince them or got them to interact another Grumpus who can convince them.

Alike the 'Aftermath' scenes, the Journalist observes a conversation from a distance. Afterwards they can interact with characters individually. The characters are separated in various group structures. The grouping format is a solo/duet, a quartet and a quintet - these groups can be approached in any order and do not affect other groups.

Group 1

Filbo
Upon approaching Filbo and Beffica, the two have interaction and Filbo leaves for the dance floor afterwards.
Beffica Beffica requires the music on the radio to be changed. If the Journalist toggled with the radio before approaching the two, Beffica will join the dancefloor upon the Journalist's request immediately, stating her song is being played.
Group 2
Wiggle Wiggle requires a drink from Cromdo's stand and will join the dance floor after receiving it.
Wambus Wambus requires a drink from Cromdo's stand to muster up the courage to apologize to Gramble. Triffany and Wiggle do not require to give them privacy.
Gramble Gramble will join the dance floor upon Wambus's invitation.
Cromdo Cromdo requires those who require a drink, Wambus and Wiggle, to have joined the dance floor.
Group 3
Triffany Triffany feels unsure about her dance skills and rather talks about her research. Floofty needs to be invited first, which they will dismiss, but they will be convinced by Triffany. After talking so much she gladly joins the dance floor as well.
Floofty Floofty argues that dance is useless. Getting Triffany to come chat with them convinces Floofty of the cultural value of dance.
Shelda Shelda requires the Confetti Ball (Waritama) above her head to burst open. Any interact-able object - Chandlo's basketballs, Cromdo's drinks, Filbo's plushies or toilet paper, - can be thrown at it.
Chandlo Chandlo is soaking up Shelda's wisdom and will prefer this above dancing. Upon letting her hit the dance floor with her task, Chandlo is willing to dance but not without Snorpy. Snorpy can only approach Chandlo if he is freed from Floofty and Shelda has left Chandlo.
Snorpy Snorpy requires to talk to Chandlo, but needs to be freed from Floofty, who will only leave when Triffany convinced them. Next, Snorpy requires Shelda to have left Chandlo so he can approach him.

Major Celebration! part 1

Major Celebration!

Filbo's doing that 'let's throw a party' stare. I do hope this one goes better than the last. We could really use it.

Objectives: *Filbo wants to talk to you!


Everybody is back.
Wow! It's gettin' crowded around here! I can't believe it! We gotta celebrate big time! This party's gonna change everything, Buddy!! Are you sure you're ready?
Point of No Return!
Once you start the party, you won't be able to catch Bugsnax or complete quests! Be sure you've done everything you want to before continuing!
I'm not ready yet...
Let's party!

Major Celebration! part 2

This is awesome! But it'll be even more awesome once everybody's on the dance flooooor!
Major Celebration!

Filbo wants everybody to dance, and I shall make it so.

Objectives: *Get everybody to dance! (11/11)


Filbo Beffica duo
How's the party treating you, Beff?
Eh, I've seen worse.
Yeah, it's really coming together! It's nice to see everybody gettin' along!
*sighs* Listen, Filbo, I appreciate what you're doing, like, getting everybody here. It's way less boring now. But these Grumps aren't friends. They're just making nice cuz it's better than being alone.
Sure, but who wants to be alone?
*laughs* You're such a squeeb. But, like, in a good way.
Aw, thanks! *laughs* I'm gonna hit the dance floor, hope I see you there!
Beffica solo
I give this party seven outta ten. Which is pretty good, I guess...for Filbo.
You should go dance!
Back to the party...
Me dance? I don't think this party could handle it! Besides, this isn't really my song.
*Toggle with the radio and return to Beffica*
OMG, they're playing my song! I'm gonna show them what a REAL party looks like!
Wiggle solo
What a FABulous party. It's no Grumpapalooza, but we make do!
You should go dance!
Back to the party...
My Darling, I'm ALWAYS dancing! I'd love to storm the dance floor but I prefer to sing along. And tragically my vocal chords are fried!
*Get a drink from Cromdo's stand*
At last, beverage service! Now I can sing the night away!
Gramble solo
Never seen everybody gettin' so rowdy before. Usually means somethin' bad's about to happen.
You should go dance!
Back to the party...
I dunno, I remember the last party. As long as Wambus is around, I can't let my guard down.
Triffany solo
This party's a real hoot.
You should go dance!
Back to the party...
Oh gosh, I dunno, I got two left feet. Wouldn't ya rather hear about the captivating history of dance?
*Return after failing to get Floofty to dance*
You should talk to Floofty!
Oh! I bet Floofty will wanna learn ALL about the Desert Empire's dance of certain death!
Wambus solo
Mighty fine shindig we got here. Better than the last one, that's fer sure!
You should go dance!
Back to the party...
I'm thinkin' I should apologize to Gramble first. But I can't muster up the words. Maybe I could use some of that there, uh, liquid courage.
*Get a drink from Cromdo's stand*
*belch* Much obliged, Stranger. I better talk to Gramble before I lose my nerve.
Shelda solo
Our doom is nigh. A rain of venom- *hic* -a wellspring of sorrows.
You should go dance!
Back to the party...
*gasps* An orb cleaved. A snow of paper shards. So this must be before one dances.
*Pop the Confetti Ball above Shelda*
A heart enraptured is mine. So it is- *hic* -One tears up the dance floor! Boogie, boogie!
Floofty solo
You're interrupting personal business. Unless you have something intelligent to say, BEGONE.
You should go dance!
Back to the party...
Rhythmic gyration has no purpose.
Cromdo solo
Snakwater! Getcha Snakwater here! Fresh, organic, cruelty-fr-...lite!
You should go dance!
Back to the party...
What are youse, kiddin'? There's business to be done here. I'm not leavin' this stand until I get some of these Grumps to loosen up!
*Get Wambus and Wiggle, the two Grumps who want a drink, on the Dancefloor*
Ah-ha-aaaalright, that's enough work. Now it's time to work the dance floor! Ah dink-dink-den-neh ba-donk-donk-DAY!
Chandlo solo
If I knew we were throwin' parties like this, I'da come back weeks ago!
You should go dance!
Back to the party...
Maybe later, Bro, I'm busy soakin' up Shelda's wisdom!
*After completing Shelda's task that makes one join the dance floor*
Dawg, you know I'm DTD[2]: 'Down. To. Dance.' But I'm not hittin' that dance floor without Snorpy.
Snorpy solo
Be at ease! The party lights double as a wave inhibitor. This party is secure.
You should go dance!
Back to the party...
I have something important to ask Chandlo, but a certain annoying sibling of mine won't leave me be.
*After getting Triffany to convince Floofty to dance but Shelda would still be with Chandlo*
I want to tell Chandlo how I feel ...but he seems busy taking advice from that ridiculous hippie.[3]
*After completing Shelda's task that makes one join the dance floor*
My chance has arrived! Don't blow it, Fizzlebean....
Floofty Snorpy duo
I owe you an apology, brother. My earlier insults were...unnecessary. Your inventions are quite valuable in capturing research samples and I... appreciate that...about you...
Your apology is as lacking as your ethical standards, but... it's a start.
Excellent. Now that we are reconciled, I have a dozen research papers that could use peer review. As you seem to have free time right now, let us begin-
And I take it all back.
Shelda Chandlo duo
One who is me has foreseen, the path to enlightenment is not walked with the feet. It is a journey taken with the mind.
I understand your wisdom, oh great Shelda. You're saying I should chug this Snakwater UPSIDE-DOWN, DAWG!
YES!!!
Indu*gurgles*bitably!!
[4]
Gramble Wiggle duo
I was worried at first, but this party's kinda nice! Even the little ones are having fun![5]
*laughs* We'll make a party animal out of you yet, darling! Now, let's work on your dance moves![6]
Triffany Wambus duo
So the osteoblast says 'Looks like the two of us are really boned!' *chuckles*
Haha, really boned! Haha! Yeah, Triffy, yer such a treasure!
Wambus Gramble duo
H-hey now, I don't want any trouble, Wambus...
Gramble, I'm sorry. I been rude to ya and even worse to yer little ones.
You-you're serious? No foolin'?
I don't tell jokes, Gramble. I am not creative.
Oh!! Apology accepted! O'course no forgivin' is complete without a hug!
No. But I suppose a dance couldn't hurt.
Triffany Floofty Snorpy trio
-so ya see, the Desert Dance mirrors the moves for hand-to-hand combat against Bugsnax. Thus the youth were tricked into learning!
Fascinating! Hiding purpose in frivolous waste. I will make use of this principle.
Oh, you believe it when SHE says it!
Triffany has convinced me of the historic and cultural value of expressive movement, perhaps I should experiment.[7]
Phew, I'm all talked out! Makes me wanna shake my tailbone!
Snorpy Chandlo duo
*ahem* Chandlo...I-I...we've been together for so long and I've always wondered how you feel about me and...d-do you want to be my boyfriend?
What!? Bro, that doesn't make any sense.
Oh, I see. Y-yes. Never mind. Forget what I said-
Snorpy, we've been dating for YEARS.
W-wait...what!? How is that possible?
Dude, remember that time we made out on that ferris wheel and I said we should move in together...
W-w-well, w-yes, I-I just thought we were...roommates with benefits. You know I hate ambiguity!
Sorry, Snorp-Dawg! *kiss* Is that clear enough for ya?
Hahuheh...yuh-huh
I love you, dawg! Now, let's dance!

Dance Floor

The Grumpuses all have their own dance moves and "Party Barks". The latter are non-subtitled voice-lines, which for Filbo and Wiggle are unique 'dance' files, whereas for the rest it is a re-purposing of their "Launch sounds".

I've got a party in my mouth and I'm invited!
Oh yeah! Uh-huh!
YEE-HAW!
Oh, ride 'em!
Yee-haw!
Woohoo!
Yee-haw!
NICE!
Haw-haw-haaawww!
Ah! Oh, that feels good!
Oh, you see that? Bustin' a move!
Watch my moves, it's as good as my singin'.
I'm having fun.
Yee-haw!
For science!

In the Grump_Camp XML files, a section of "Party Barks" has unused text-lines - without accompanied unused voice-lines. Only Filbo's first line is used and present, but non-subtitled. As the characters cannot be interacted with during dancing there is no moment these files could pop up on the screen aside the fact these supposed voice recordings are not in the files.

I've got a party in my mouth and I'm invited![8]
Woo! Yeah!
I put the hoe in hoedown!
Yeeehaw!
Send shivers down your spine![9]
Wahoo!
DJ turn that music up![10]
OMG!
Dance like it'll pay yer rent!
Ahaha!
Go Gramble, it's your birthday![11]
Wheee!
You're a shining star no matter who you are![12]
Ohoho!
Watch me break this whole thing down!
Awww yeaaah!
We all become one!
Ha hmm!
I look ridiculous but that's alright!
Ooo! Aha!
What a fascinating yet wasteful performance!
Indeed!

Major Celebration! part 3

Major Celebration!

Filbo has wandered away from the dance. I wonder if something's on his mind...

Objectives: *Talk to Filbo.

*sighs* We did it, Buddy. We're all together again... Well, almost all of us. But you know what? Knowing Eggabell is out there gives me hope that Lizbert is out there, too. I mean, none of this would've been possible without you, Buddy. I know you have to go back for your job eventually, but I'd sure miss you if you left. A-and w-well, you still need to interview Lizbert, right? So-
Our end is nigh.
WHUH! End? Well...is-is that a metaphor, or-
"Imagine a really big earthquake happening right now."[13]
none
WE GOTTA MOVE! NOW!

References & Notes

  1. Eggabell has not returned and only The Journalist and Filbo know of her alive status, which the two keep from the rest of the expedition team upon Eggabell's request. She fears everyone would come "stomp around on the mountain" for some reason, which would cause an avalanche. As such, why town is not questioning the party being held without knowledge of her status is not elaborated on.
  2. DTD more commonly stands for 'Down to Date'.
  3. Oddly negative/Unneccessarily rude remark towards a person Chandlo cares about. Snorpy and Shelda share a suspicion towards Bugsnax but this line is the sole connection they were given.
  4. Present in both the voicebank files as the XML text files but not present in game. It sounds as if Shelda joined Chandlo in drinking upside down.
  5. The voice file is named "033_Gramble_ThisSongsAmazin", showing Gramble's original sentence was a positive reaction to a song, likely something Wiggle composed. Why this was changed, probably last-minute because they did not alter the file, is unclear as it would not alter the events of the main quest nor optional side quest.
  6. The voice file is named "034_Wiggle_ItsAmazingMy", showing Wiggle's original sentence was response to Gramble's positive reaction to a song, likely something she composed. Why this was changed, probably last-minute because they did not alter the file, is unclear as it would not alter the events of the main quest nor optional side quest.
  7. The voice file is named "020_Floofty_MissTriffanyHas", having Floofty address Triffany as "Miss Triffany".
  8. Play on "party in my pants and you're invited"
  9. Reference to a lyric of "Spooky Scary Skeletons"
  10. Reference to a lyric of "Pon De Replay" by Rihanna
  11. Play on a lyric of "In Da Club" by 50Cent
  12. Reference to a lyric of "Shining Star" by Earth, Wind & Fire
  13. id="396", assigned to Filbo, with an incorrect filepath and no actual file attached. It seems as if Shelda was supposed to say this line as a reply, having a very clear clairvoyant vision on what is to come.
