Gobo's Friends

Gobo's Friends: From left to right: Pico, Tera, Nano, and Giga

Gobo and Gobo's friends as different foods in a 2015 April Fools' Day image.

In Scratch 2.0, several new sprites were added to the sprite library. Four of the new sprites were collectively titled "Gobo's Friends". They are drawn by Wing Ngan, the same person who designed Scratch Cat. Each sprite has four different costumes, one "happy", one "very happy", one "surprised", and one "mad". Pico and Giga also have a walking animation.

Following the renovation of the Scratch Server Internal Error, all of Gobo's Friends had redesigns of them appearing in the Scratch website drawn by Scratch Team members.

Pico

"Pico" redirects here. For the Scratch Board, see PicoBoard.

Facts

• The names for Gobo's Friends are derived from metric prefixes for powers of 10:
  • "Pico" means 10⁻¹²
  • "Nano" means 10⁻⁹
  • "Giga" means 10⁹
  • "Tera" means 10¹²
• Pico is sometimes considered a symbol of trickery, due to the April Fool's Day prank of 2013.
