Design and Conception

Here is what the designers have to say:

"This time around, the focus is on cute! Given the limitations, what you add and take away becomes crucial in what you want to express. He really taught us a lot, even though he’s barely one year old." - DDR X

Character and Personality

Baby-Lon is described as a sleepy yet adventurous and happy baby. This can be seen in his story when he travel's through Disco's town all by himself (despite him being a baby) as he tries to remember where he is trying to go. As well, in his story, Baby-Lon travels to outer space proving his adventurous side.

Epilogue

At last, Baby-Lon rocketed off into space. As he danced among the stars, Baby-Lon made friends with some people who looked like something Rage would cook. Unfortunately, they said they don’t taste very good.

DDR Dance Wars

Bingo Party! (06/17/2013-06/30/2013)

Yuni welcomed Michael to her mansion, and planned on having a welcome Dance and Bingo party. Julio said that the Bingo game had started and that he had played it with his grandmother all the time. Baby-Lon wanted to play. The player was given a bingo sheet with four random numbers. However, Julio discovered that the Bingo Party was also a dance contest.

jubeat, GITADORA, DDR's Triple Journey (jubeat, GITADORA, DDRの Triple Journey)

Baby-Lon is one of the main characters in the jubeat, GITADORA, DDR's Triple Journey big cross-game event with DDR 2013, GITADORA, and jubeat saucer, along with characters Otobear and Smith (from GITADORA and jubeat saucer, respectively).  Each day, one of the three characters will send you a mail with a hidden hint. If you play the machine with the corresponding character (in this case, Baby-Lon's would be DDR 2013 because he is a DDR character) and do their request, you will unlock a song.
