Main Characters are a type of Toon in Dandy's World. Main Characters are signified by a rainbow border around their icon in Dandy's Store in the lobby and in the Toon selection menu, compared to the usual grey that's displayed for other Toons. Event Main Character Toons are exceptions to this, having a half-rainbow, half-event colored border instead. Though some people may not notice Bobette's difference easily, Bassie's Easter half icon is lighter (pastel) and visible. There are currently 7 playable Main Characters in the game, being 
Astro, 
Bassie, 
Bobette, 
Pebble, 
Shelly, 
Sprout, and 
Vee. 
Dandy is the titular Main character, however, he is unable to be played through normal means.
An interesting fact about these characters is that they are most viewed, used, and frequently played by the majority of people. This is due to their popularity, updates/being event limited, fan-arts, and also their playstyle, having special changes to Hearts, Abilities, etc.

Trivia[]
- The currently known requirements for a Toon to be a Main Character are:
- Every Main Toon should only have 2 hearts
- 2 abilities, one active and one passive
- Dandy doesn’t follow this, only having a Passive ability.
- A stat spread of 16
compared to the 15 Stars other Toons have - A unique dialogue and Machine completion sound
- (At least) one 5 Star stat
- Main Characters have three considerably difficult requirements: a high Ichor cost, 100% research on their Twisted form, and a miscellaneous requirement, usually being 100% mastery on another Toon with a Common/Uncommon tier Twisted.
- Astro, Bobette and Bassie are currently the only Main Characters whose third requirement is not 100% mastery on another Toon. Instead, Astro's third requirement is for the player to encounter Twisted Dandy at least once, whilst Bassie and Bobette require the player to spend a large amount of the Event Currency ( Ornaments and Baskets) on top of Ichor.
- In lore, the Main Characters of the Dandy's World show/brand were the most featured in merchandise and episodes, hence the name.
- Main Characters are the most common characters to see on Posters around floors. All posters (except character information posters) feature at least one Main Character.
- None of the Main Characters have introduction cards as of now.
- All playable Main Characters have a unique talking sound effect that's also present in their active ability (excluding Bassie).
- Astro speaks with a cosmic whoosh effect.
- Bassie speaks with a twinkle sound effect.
- Bobette speaks with a jingle bell sound effect.
- Bobette originally didn't have unique dialogue sound. This is because there was a mistake where the audio did not play in-game. This was fixed in the 0.7.1 update.
- Dandy is exempt from this and only features a normal Toon talking sound effect.
- Pebble speaks in barks.
- Sprout speaks with an effect akin to a bubble pop.
- Shelly speaks with a rock effect.
- Vee speaks with an arcade "boing" effect.
- The Main Character Toons are related to the Toons whose mastery you need to purchase the Main Character.
- Shelly and Tisha are good friends, proven by their interactions and certain storyboards, and boost two stats powerfully.
- Vee believes Brightney is her best contestant (as shown in their interactions with eachother) and views her better than the rest. Both of their active abilities both highlight the location of Twisteds. They also lack Stealth. They both also have a larger light radius than other Toons.
- Toodles likes dogs, which is what Pebble is, both are monochrome in color and their Twisteds are known for being fast. Which it explains how she has her own Dog Plush.
- Sprout and Cosmo have been emphasized as best friends many times, both of their active abilities are healing other Toons, and have matching caramel skins and trinkets, the pendants fusing together to make a Dandy-like flower.
- Shelly and
- Main Characters have a pattern where they always release alongside at least 1 Common, 1 Uncommon, and 1 Rare Toon.
- Holiday Main Characters require reaching floor 20 in their Mastery due to their Twisted counterpart spawning every 20 floors guaranteed.
- Bassie was the first Main Character (and Toon in general) to have 2 passive abilities.
- This was later fixed. As of now, she has both a passive and active ability (although her active ability has no cooldown).
- Bobette was the first Main Character and Toon with two 5 stats (Skill Check and Stamina).
- This was later changed to 4 Star Skill Check, redistributing that other Star to Movement Speed.
- Dandy is the only Main Character that is not playable to normal players.[1]
- Dandy alongside Bassie and Bobette are the only Toons that are categorized in two different sections (with Dandy being a Main Character and Lethal, Bassie being an Easter and Main Character and Bobette being a Christmas and Main Character).
- He is also the only Main Character (and Toon in general) to have 5 in all of his stats.
- This makes a total of 25-Stars in all of Dandy's stats.
- Although he can't be played by normal players, Dandy is playable in Roleplay.
- Despite popular belief, Dandy is actually a Main Character since he (along with the other mains) has a Toon Handler, a Plush version of himself (seen in the Gift Shop) and is one of the six Main Characters in the show.
- Mains are the only Toons to have confirmed last names.
- Astro and Vee (and sometimes Shelly) share many similarities:
- Both are currently the only Main light-producing Toons in-game.
- Both have objects present in their body when not activating their active ability.
- Astro has 2 differently sized stars in his head, whereas Vee has her microphone in her head as well, with the cord going down till her torso.
- However, Vee can be seen holding her microphone when idle, so that's an exception.
- Pebble originally had a 3D modeled tongue into him, which can neither be seen out of his body when idle, nor when activating his ability. The aforementioned model has been removed since the 0.6.4 update. This model would have been used for animations, however.
- Despite Shelly displaying sparks out of her head when activating her Active Ability, they are not present into her.
- Their Twisted counterparts are the only Main Twisteds to inflict a debuff whilst chasing Toons.
- Twisted Astro inflicts the Tired
Ⅲdebuff whereas Twisted Vee inflicts the Slow Ⅱone. - However Twisted Shelly inflicts the Confused
Ⅰdebuff throughout Floors where she appears.
- Both are supporters, alongside Shelly, Bobette and Bassie.
- Astro fully refills nearby Toons' Stamina whereas Vee can find machines for the other Toons as well as highlighting Twisteds for them, especially during blackouts, Shelly boosts a Toon's extraction speed by 75%. Bobette also refills Stamina but increases its regeneration by 50% and Bassie shares items to other Toons.
- Both (and Shelly) have night or space related Skins.
- Astro is already space and night related besides his Starry Night Skin, whereas Vee has the Cosmic Signal Skin, which is related to the two previously mentioned ones. Shelly has the Dino Snore Skin, which is mainly based on a Dinosaur Pyjama, which is mainly used for sleeping and so, related with night and eventually Astro.
- Their Twisted counterparts are tied of having the highest hearing radius, being of 9999 units when failing a skill check as a Toon, using an Air Horn or activating Pebble's active ability, alongside Twisted Dandy, also having the same units.
- A Halloween Event was confirmed by Qwel to be coming, meaning that there will be a new Main Character, alongside a Common, an Uncommon and a Rare like usual.
