The Projector on the World Map.

The Projector is a device accessible on 's World Map after completing World 7. Like Machines, it is not a level but rather an important aspect of the series' story.

Functions

• 

  The game moving Qbby to a predetermined spot on the World Map,

• 

  The projector starting up.

• 

  The first piece of footage shown using the Projector.

• 

  The second piece of footage shown using the Projector.

• 

  The third piece of footage shown using the Projector.

• 

  The fourth and final piece of footage shown using the Projector.

Upon completing World 7, the projector is accessible and available for use whenever the player wants to, where it can be accessed by approaching it and pressing A. If it's accessed, the camera pans up slightly, the Bottom Screen's World Map controls disappear, and Qbby's controls are locked by the game and cannot be used by the player. Qbby, along with any of his friends (if available) automatically move to a predetermined location. When the Projector starts up, the camera pans up even more so the Projector footage can be shown. The Projector then projects a flickering slideshow of four videos of the Box Planet, which supposedly took place before the events of the game.

The footage can be manually advanced by the player by pressing the A button. The first is a video of the Box Planet, with the Box Ship hovering above it. The second image shows the two objects from before along with a large meteor, appearing to be made out of Black Smoke, on a direct collision course with the Box Planet. The third image shows the meteor very close to hitting the planet, and some decay is seen on the planet right next to its impact site. If this is the player's first time using the Projector, Qbby, along with his friends if they've been unlocked, will jump into the air in fear and panic. If the player has already used the Projector, Qbby and his friends do nothing.

The fourth and final image shows the meteor having finally crashed on the planet, causing a large Black Smoke bubble-like object (presumably the meteor) to appear on the impact site, along with a large amount of decay on the surface of the planet's top half visibly spreading over the course of a few seconds. The Projector then turns itself off. If this is the player's first time viewing the Projector, Qbby and his friends will look at each other and seem to talk to each other for a brief period, before the game allows the player to take control of Qbby again. If the player has already used the Projector, this interaction does not take place, and after the camera pans back down, and again towards Qbby, the game gives the controls back to the player, and the Bottom Screen's World Map touch controls reappear again.
