The '''Surprise Button''', previously named as the '''Random Sprite button''', or referred to as the '''Get Surprise Sprite button''', is a feature in [[Scratch 3.0]] and [[Scratch 1.x]] that allows the user to load a random [[sprite]] from Scratch's sprite folders, including user-made sprites. This was taken out of [[Scratch 2.0]] for an unknown reason. Some [[Scratcher]]s suggested it to be added back into Scratch 2.0.<ref>bigpuppy. (30/5/2016). "Bring back the "Get Surprise Sprite" button" (quote from title) [[topic:201794]]</ref> In the release of [[Scratch 3.0]], it was added back as the Surprise button, with the ability to select a random sound, backdrop, costume, or sprite.

==Uses==
Here are a few common uses for the button:

* To get ideas for a [[project]]
* To make a challenge. For example, make a project with two random sprites
* Getting a sprite quickly
* Getting characters that are always different so the project varies
