Baba Is You Tunnel Solution

Quick Answer

Tunnel becomes simple once you stop trying to send Baba through the passage. Make a long linear object the player character, slide it through the tunnel, then restore Baba on the far side.

Why It's Hard A one-tile-wide tunnel stretches across the entire map. Baba can't turn around inside it, and text blocks are too large to push through.

Before You Start

• Arrange the swap rule before entering the tunnel.
• Leave room near the exit to rebuild BABA IS YOU.
• Do not activate the swap while the replacement object is still blocked by STOP.

Strategy

Change who "YOU" are to something smaller or something that doesn't need to turn around — like a wall tile.

Winning Sequence

1. Position WALL beside the IS YOU lane so you can swap control without breaking the rest of the board.
2. Create WALL IS YOU and confirm that the controlled wall segment already lines up with the tunnel entrance.
3. Slide the wall through the passage until at least one controllable segment reaches the exit chamber.
4. Use the larger room at the end of the tunnel to restore BABA IS YOU or attach WIN to a reachable object.
5. Finish with Baba once the choke point is behind you.

Common Mistakes

• Swapping control too early and discovering the replacement object cannot enter the shaft.
• Reaching the exit but forgetting to leave space to rebuild Baba.
• Treating the tunnel as a movement puzzle instead of an identity-swap puzzle.

Why This Works

The tunnel only blocks objects that need to maneuver inside it. A long straight object does not need to turn, so the real solution is to change the identity of the player, not the shape of the corridor.
