Popgoes the Weasel is the primary mascot and singer of The Popgoes Pizzeria. He is one of the main threats in the gameplay of POPGOES.
Description[]
“ | Popgoes the Weasel is the frontman animatronic for The Popgoes Pizzeria. During the day he acts as the announcer, singer and waiter for the location. The hat he sports originally belonged to Freddy Fazbear, but was won in an auction by Popgoes' creator, Fritz Glade. Fritz Glade created Popgoes as a replacement for a "Dreamcatcher" ornament, originally created to fight nightmares he was having of Toy Bonnie. During POPGOES 1's gameplay, Popgoes the Weasel will travel from room to room, gathering parts of a creation named "The Blackrabbit".

Appearance[]
As the name suggests, Popgoes the Weasel's design is based on a least weasel. Unlike the Toy animatronics, Popgoes and the rest of his bandmates have quite realistic colours, and some realistic body proportions, corresponding to the animals that they are based on. Popgoes himself has desaturated brown and beige colours, as well as some especially small legs, which mirror the anatomy of a weasel. Popgoes also has a top hat which is implied to be the same hat worn by Freddy Fazbear, bought by Fritz Glade at an auction held at Fazbear's Fright. He also has a microphone, but he isn't seen visible with it unless he's on the Popgoes Pizzeria stage.
Behaviour[]
During the day[]
Popgoes, during the day, is a multitasker. He is programmed to do the most out of the main four that are still connected to WeaselWare, most likely due to the fact that he is the main mascot of the pizzeria. He entertains, cooks the food, cleans the place, and even helps Fritz out during the day.
As a Scarecrow[]
Popgoes, named Notes, was originally created as a "scarecrow" supposed to help Fritz by destroying one of his nightmares - Toy Bonnie.
Like most of the scarecrows, Popgoes failed to help Fritz. He was designed with the idea of reuse later in The Popgoes Pizzeria, and because of that, he was created to be more kid-friendly, unable to defeat Toy Bonnie.
Gameplay[]
Popgoes' main goal during gameplay is to print out Blackrabbit, which was caused by the "Save Bonnie" command. Popgoes' starting area is the main stage, right behind you. Once he becomes active, he starts heading for CAM 04, his main hub. You can spot him to the left of you before he reaches CAM 04. Once he reaches CAM 04, he could potentially be in many different positions in that one specific camera. Once he first begins, he could be in either CAM 06, 03, 01, 02, or 05. You must check each camera to find which one he's in, and you have to be rather swift with it as well. You must find him before he prints out a Blackrabbit piece. Once you've found him in one of these specific cameras, you must press the "ROOM SHUT-DOWN" button on your phone. Which causes a Room Power error, a 3D Printer error, a Security Camera error, and if Popgoes' is in the room, a Popgoes error. This forces Popgoes' to return to CAM 04, where the cycle repeats.
If Popgoes' manages to print out a piece of Blackrabbit, however, then there is nothing you can do stop him. Once he gains a part, he'll head back to CAM 04, which he will then return to the main area. Once he reaches the table, he can be seen laying down the piece he printed out onto the table and then will head back to CAM 04, where he will attempt to print out another piece. You have five attempts before Popgoes' manages to reach his final phase. However, do note that once he prints out a part from a specific camera, he will not reappear in that camera, unless it's in 06 when he is heading to 08.
If he manages to print out the arms, the legs, and the torso, he will then start heading for 08, the only camera where the head is printable. He will go from CAM 06 to reach 08, so you have an attempt to stop him from reaching 08 if you shut down the room while he's in 06. You can also shut down the room while he's in 08, which will make him return to 04. If you do not stop him, however, then there is no way to stop him from finishing Blackrabbit and causing a GAME OVER.
When Strings will start to Panic, he may see a hallucination of Popgoes' attack, if he's looking at the computer or the table behind him.
Trivia[]
- His name is a reference to the "Pop Goes the Weasel" song.
- Popgoes has 50 in-game renders, which is the biggest amount from all the animatronics.
- Popgoes' Panic Jumpscare resembles The Bite of '87.
- Popgoes shares his eye colour with his Toy counterpart, Toy Bonnie. However, the creator of the game, Kane Carter, has confirmed that this is simply a coincidence.
- Due to an error, when Popgoes entered the Hallway from the Arcade Room when holding the left leg of Blackrabbit, a render with the left arm appears, the very same as when he leaves the Art Room. The actual render with left leg didn't appear in the game by mistake. This was fixed in an update released on June 21, 2020.
