"I get EXPLOSIVE when I have to wait."
—Bibi Love, on waiting for her demands to be met

Bibi Love is a psychopath turned survivor appearing in Dead Rising 2 and Dead Rising 2: Off the Record.

She is an aging pop singer who is clinging to her former glory. As a result of the outbreak, she has taken several of her employees hostage in the mission One Hit Wonder. She reappears in Off the Record with the same role.

One Hit Wonder[]

Main article: One Hit Wonder

After the zombie outbreak in Fortune City causes the last of her fans to flee, Bibi went insane and took over a stage. Using wires and a bomb with a remote detonator, she threatens to blow up her hostages, Juan, Allison, and Cameron, if they try to leave before her show is over.

When Chuck Greene comes across her, she mistakes him for a stagehand and asks Chuck to get her a refreshment, get dressed for her show (a Tuxedo, available from Modern Businessman in the Royal Flush Plaza), round up a group of "fans" (10-15 zombies) and finally, rig the lights for her performance. A minigame that is very similar to Guitar Hero where the player must press the appropriate buttons to do the appropriate lighting effects.

If Chuck completes the minigame, she will thank him for his help, then release her hostages and jump from the stage into the crowd of zombies, still thinking of them as fans. She will realize they are zombies and Chuck has the choice of saving her or leaving her.

If Chuck fails the minigame, attacks her, or kills one of her hostages, a cutscene plays where she yells at him for ruining her comeback before sitting down next to Cameron and activating her bomb, killing herself, Cameron, Allison, and Juan. Note that Bibi can get killed by the zombies if the player lets them climb the stage.

This mission reappears in Off the Record with no changes. When Bibi is brought back to the Safe House, however, she will reward Frank West with one hundred dollars.

Bibi will spawn on her stage in the Slot Ranch Casino armed with a Large Wrench. Once defeated she drops her weapon and $10,000.

Trivia[]

  • After completing Bibi's light show, there is a checkpoint auto save. If the player quits and reloads the last checkpoint, Chuck/Frank will re spawn on the stage, but the crowd of zombies surrounding Bibi will be gone (confirmed on Xbox 360, only).[Verification needed]
  • In Dead Rising 2: Case West a portrait of Bibi is hanging above Marian Mallon's fireplace in the Director's Office.
  • Bibi is the only psychopath in the series that never attacks the player.
  • Bibi accepts mixed juices. If you give her an energizer, she'll be permanently invincible, and you'll be unable to fail the mission by hitting her.
  • She is the only character to be seen and heard singing in the Dead Rising series.
    • Jeanna Slick is also seen singing, but there are no audible lyrics, as they take the form of text boxes instead.
  • If the player leaves Bibi behind while escorting the other three survivors to safety, her health will not have decreased when the player later returns to the Slot Ranch Casino.[Verification needed]
  • If the player brings other survivors in this mission, they will not harm Bibi. This is because the game doesn't technically consider her a psychopath, but rather a survivor.
  • Bibi is an obvious parody of American female stars who are singers, performers and actresses. One such as Cherilyn “Cher” Sarkisian, who herself had a Las Vegas Show at the time of the game's production. Her provocative black outfit is also a reference to the one Cher wore in her "Turn Back Time" music video. The name Cher also means "Dear One", alternatively, "Love." She is also a homage to Dyanne “Ilsa” Thorne and Cassandra "Elvira" Peterson, both being curvaceously endowed, overtly sexualized, portraying themselves as the bad girls, having naturally red hair, and similar sounding voices, just like Bibi herself.
  • Her music can be heard during the overtime mode credits.
  • Sometimes, when you pass her in the Safe House, she will say "You're my number 1 fan!"
  • In Dead Rising 2, the necklace she wears is different than the one it shows her wearing in the notebook. This was changed in Dead Rising 2: Off the Record.
  • Bibi is the first female psychopath in the Dead Rising series to sexually harass a main character, rather than minor characters.
  • If the player kills any of the staff before Bibi's intro cutscene plays, she will not arrive if you head onto the stage.
  • Usually if you hit Bibi it will activate her death sequence, triggering the bombs. However, there was a way to kill Bibi without setting off the bombs. If you had a Sniper Rifle and the Soldier clothes, shooting her in the back of the head at close range would kill her instantly and without triggering the cutscene. The bombs will not blow up and the survivors will not be able to move. This bug was fixed 2 weeks after the game's release in an update.[Verification needed]
  • At any time in the game, if you go to the map and hover the cursor over the Slot Ranch Casino, the description will announce the comeback tour of Bibi.
  • She is referenced in Dead Rising 3 in a news ticker, recalling the horrors of Fortune City. This indicates that she, and presumably other rescued survivors, escaped alive.
    • In Dead Rising 3, a survivor named Adam Daley wears her clothing and has her hairstyle. He seems to have a split personality of Bibi. Another song of hers, "Can't Get Enough Of Me", can be heard playing.
    • There is also a karaoke bar named Bibi's Box in Dead Rising 3, another reference to the pop star.
    • At Joey's House, one of her songs is playing, although it's not one that was officially released.
