Big Hero 6 Trivia Quiz

Answer: San Fransokyo

San Fransokyo was an amalgamation of San Francisco and Tokyo, two cities with strong tech industries. The setting incorporated elements of both eastern and western architecture and culture. A major landmark of San Fransokyo was a large red bridge similar to the Golden Gate bridge, but with the arches made to look like torii. There was also a tower that resembled the Tokyo Tower. There was even an abandoned facility out on an island in the bay, similar to Alcatraz.

Corona and Arendelle were from the movies "Tangled" and "Frozen", respectively. They were also animated movies made by Disney.

Answer: Robot Fighting

Actually, the robot fights were not strictly illegal. Betting money on them was, though. In San Fransokyo there seemed to be a vibrant underground scene in which people could bring their own robots to fights, and bet on the matches.

Hiro played the part of a naive amateur, and deliberately lost the first round so his opponent would be willing to put even more money on a rematch. Hiro was hiding his potential, and it turned out he was a very competent robot designer and fighter. He won handily, which made the whole situation very tense.

Answer: Personal Healthcare Companion

Baymax was an inflatable robot healthcare companion. He was large and soft, and made to look and act as non-threatening as possible. When not in use, he would stay deflated in his charging station. He would only emerge when he heard someone say "ow", indicating they needed medical assistance. Baymax would not shut down until his patient had indicated that they were satisfied with their care.

Answer: Mind-Controlled Microbots

Hiro struggled for a while to come up with an idea before settling on microbots. The microbots were even smaller versions of the components Hiro had used to make his gladiator robot. Each microbot was only a couple centimeters long, but en mass they could be used to construct any sturdy shape thought by the person wearing the neural-cranial transmitter.

The incorrect answers to this question were experiments being worked on by Tadashi's friends in the science lab.

Answer: An abandoned warehouse

The microbots naturally wanted to amalgamate, and would seek each other out. Hiro still had a single microbot in his hoodie pocket, and it started acting strangely, trying to move in a specific direction. Hiro just assumed the microbot was broken, and Baymax was annoying him. When Baymax offered to track where the microbot was trying to go, Hero said yes just to get the big robot to leave him alone. When Baymax actually left, Hiro panicked and followed. The two ended up at an abandoned warehouse, inside of which they found an assembly station creating new microbots.

Before they could snoop around too much, they were attacked by an ominous figure wearing a long coat and a kabuki mask, and had to run.

Answer: Intoxicated

Baymax spent a lot of time away from his charging station, and had to use a lot of his energy reserves during the exciting day. By the time Hiro was going home, Baymax was running dangerously low on power. Baymax started acting the way a human would when intoxicated, which made it very difficult for Hiro to sneak him back into the house without his Aunt Cass noticing.

Answer: Heathcliff, the butler

Fred was the only person at the lab who was not a student. He just enjoyed the vibe and would hang out as the school mascot. Fred was a comic book and pop culture enthusiast, and had very rich parents. Nobody knew what Fred did outside of the school, and were surprised when he took them to a mansion. They were skeptical until the butler, Heathcliff, greeted him as Master Frederick.

At the mansion, the group came up with a plan to stop the person with the kabuki mask, and built themselves suits based on their experiments. They knew that the kabuki mask was housing the neural-cranial transmitter, and had to be removed to stop the microbots. They had Heathcliff wear a fake mask, and practiced removing it with their new abilities. Heathcliff was unmoved by all the chaos around him during the group's training.

Answer: A teleporter

Silent Sparrow was a teleporter. There were two gates at the facility. Alistair Krie demonstrated to a military official by throwing his hat through the gate, and having it come out the other one. The demonstration was a success, but Krei had a much better one planned. They were going to safely send a human through the gates.

Just before the live test, a power aberration was detected. Krei deemed it within normal operating tolerances, and decided to proceed with the test anyway. Unfortunately, this led to an explosion that destroyed the gates and much of the facility.

Answer: Callaghan, the professor

Robert Callaghan was the mentor of all the students at the robotics lab, and had been presumed dead after the explosion had destroyed his lab. The whole group was very shocked to see him alive. Hiro was especially angry because his brother, Tadashi, had run into the burning lab explicitly to save Callaghan.

Callaghan had taken Hiro's neuro-cranial transmitter to control the microbots and make a protective shield around himself. When everyone thought he was dead, he sneaked away and began creating more microbots.

Callaghan was on a mission of revenge. His daughter, Abigail, was a test pilot for Krei Tech. She had died (presumably) during the Silent Sparrow disaster. Callaghan wanted to destroy everything Alistair Krei had for killing his daughter.

Answer: Say that he was satisfied with his care

When Abigail went through the teleporter, she became stuck in a different dimension. Baymax detected her through the reactivated teleporter, in a state of hypersleep. Hiro and Baymax jumped into the gate to save Abigail.

They found her pod, and made their way back to the gate using Baymax's thrusters. At the last moment, Baymax was struck by debris, and could not finish the flight. Baymax could still use his intact rocket fist to send Hiro and Abigail to safety, but was not able to abandon Hiro until Hiro said he was satisfied with his care.

Hero was saddened by the loss of his brother's robot, but Baymax had managed to hold in his rocket fist the chip Tadashi had designed. Hero just had to construct a new body and put in the chip to get Baymax back.
