Total Fruit Island (abbreviated to TFI), written as TotalFruitIsland with no spaces in the YouTube channel's username, is a 2010 lost (possibly) Microsoft Paint or PowerPoint object show created by the former YouTube user "TotalFruitIsland".[2]
The show was supposedly drawn in Microsoft Paint and featured characters that were based on the characters from the Fruity Cuties. These characters were competing for an prize that is currently unknown. It's first episode premiered on December 8, 2010. It is unknown how many episodes were produced; however, two are currently confirmed to have existed. It is most likely that only two episodes had existed, since the show seems to have been unfinished after two episodes and was presumably cancelled. At the current state of information regarding the search, it is very likely that only two episodes were made before it was cancelled.
The search for Total Fruit Island is currently considered dead. It is possible that the search will receive a resurgence in popularity if a new, major piece of information is found, but for now, nobody has found anything new yet.
The show involved fruits (based off the fruits from Fruity Cuties[1]) competing in teams in a BFDI-inspired "reality show" where they were voted off one by one by the viewers of the series (which was most likely inspired by BFDI) in the comment section in a reality show style elimination process until a winner was decided.[3][4]
The series is currently considered lost media as it was deleted from YouTube after presumably being released exclusively on YouTube and no known archives, recordings or re-uploads of the series have been released or found from any source on the web.
Characters
- Tomato: Likely character.[5] They are the host according to englishcreamcakes. Currently, their personality is unknown. The only information is known that englishcreamcakes remembers Tomato being the host of the show.
- Mandarin/Orange: Confirmed character. It is currently unknown what their role was on Total Fruit Island. They allegedly have a thick exaggerated Asian accent. Their design is based on Mandarin from Fruity Cuties.[6]
- Starfruit: Confirmed character.[7] They are a contestant. While not much is known about their personality, it could be guessed by Pudster12345's tweet that they're generally calm and collected, not appearing to have any mood swings.
- Avocado: Confirmed character.[8] They are a contestant. Currently, their personality is unknown.
- Watermelon: Confirmed character.[4] They are a contestant. Currently, their personality is unknown.
- Dragonfruit: Likely character.[9] They are a contestant. It is possible they were shaped like a dragon, similar to the Fruity Cuties design. A character using the render from Fruity Cuties was also used in Furious Fruit Feud, an object show made by englishcreamcakes, who had seen Total Fruit Island, which further supports Dragonfruit being a contestant in TFI.

Information
In Cary's video, "Total Fruit Island - INTERNET MYSTERIES," he states during the eliminations that there would be a fruit basket, where either the safe contestants or eliminated contestants would go. During the production of episode 13 of Battle for Dream Island, Total Fruit Island got around 40 votes on one of their episodes. Because of this, it can be inferred that Total Fruit Island had a very similar popularity level to BFDI at the time of its release.
On the object show Furious Fruit Feud, a commenter by the name Ben1178 commented if the show was "that old fruit show that was originally cancelled after a few episodes and was around when II started?", possibly referring to Total Fruit Island.[10] The creator of the show, englishcreamcakes, replied to a different comment stating that Furious Fruit Feud was based on Total Fruit Island. In addition, Furious Fruit Feud used the character Starfruit from Fruity Cuties.
According to englishcreamcakes on Twitter, the show might've also used the actual images of the Fruity Cuties characters rather than the characters being drawn in MS Paint like the backgrounds.[1]
As stated by Cary Huang, the show supposedly used a fruit basket for the eliminations, and according to the description of Race Up Death Mountain, in the first episode the teams were formed, along with there also being "an elimination already[3]", it is unknown if this meant one of the contestants was already eliminated in the first episode rather than being voted off by the viewers through a contestant vote, automatic elimination or another circumstance or if it meant the teams were only up for elimination already in the first episode. It's more likely that it was referring to the first episode already having a team up for elimination as comparatively the teams also weren't decided until BFDI 1b (the second half of episode 1 along with the team being up for elimination at the end of the episode) in Battle for Dream Island.
It's also known, and confirmed that the show used YouTube commenting for voting much like Battle for Dream Island, one of the shows it may have been inspired by.[7][8][3][4]
The show had a team up for elimination every episode, and a contestant was eliminated in each episode after being voted off by the viewers in the comment section of the previous episode.
Trivia
- The upload date of December 8, 2010 makes Total Fruit Island the second known object show (inspired by Battle for Dream Island) in existence, making Inanimate Insanity the third object show, which was also inspired by BFDI.
- This is the first series inspired by Battle for Dream Island created and uploaded to YouTube. It was first uploaded to YouTube on December 8th of 2010, 11 months and 7 days after Battle for Dream Island was published onto YouTube, it was uploaded the same year as Battle for Dream Island unlike Inanimate Insanity, which was created in early 2011.
- This is the only known object show or series inspired by BFDI to release on YouTube less than a year after BFDI. The first Inanimate Insanity video was released on YouTube on February 20th, 2011.[11]
- Pudster12345 made the recommended character "Dumbbell" which appears in the 16th episode of Battle for Dream Island, " Bowling, Now with Explosions!".
- Pudster12345 and GoPokemon121 were both members of the Total Drama community.[citation needed]
- The show most likely had been at least partially inspired by BFDI rather than only a coincidence based on using fruits for a Total Drama-esque YouTube series as Cary Huang recalled that the TotalFruitIsland channel left comments on the Jacknjellify YouTube channel's wall, in addition to the use of viewer voting much like BFDI and also the fact that BFDI was also known by Pudster12345 and GoPokemon121.[12]
