Smiler and Bacteria are the two newest morphs added to Become Tiky and Everything Else Again. Both are unlocked as hidden badges tucked inside the game’s Backrooms maze, and touching each floating pickup drops the matching morph straight into your inventory. The route to both starts from the same doorway, so you can grab them back to back in a single run.
Quick answer: From spawn, head right past the BAMBI VARIANTS sign, follow the red and blue arrow corridor, and walk through the blue-taped door frame into the Backrooms. Touch the floating black hat/head for Bacteria, then push deeper into a narrow corridor and touch the floating black face with the wide white grin for Smiler.
Reach the Backrooms entrance
Both badges live behind the same entrance, so the first job is finding the doorway that leads into the maze. It sits off to the right of the spawn area, marked by signage and a color-coded floor path.

Bacteria is the closer of the two pickups. It appears as a floating black top hat or head resting inside the maze rather than tucked away at a dead end.

Smiler sits further in than Bacteria. You need to press deeper through the maze and into a narrow corridor to find it, which makes it the harder of the two to reach on a blind run.

Each badge doubles as a morph, so once the inventory message appears you can equip either character from your inventory back in the lobby. Return to the main showcase area to try their animations.

The two morphs carry different animation sets. Bacteria has the wider list, while Smiler leans into a creepier tone with its second animation.
| Morph | Animations | Notable audio |
|---|---|---|
| Smiler | Sing, Crashout | Crashout plays a creepy ambient sound |
| Bacteria | Sing, Amazing Scary, Mystery Move | Mystery Move plays a remix of the “Cheese Rick” song |
If a badge does not register, the usual cause is passing near the pickup without actually walking into it, so line your avatar up and make direct contact. Both additions arrived in a recent update to the game, and because it runs as a model and animation showcase with a large roster of morphs, you can revisit the maze anytime to grab whichever badge you missed.
