Piggybacking is an ability in Fall Guys that allows a player to ride on the back of someone else. It was first introduced in the Fall Forever Update.
Ability description[]
The initial piggybacking request from the blue player.
To perform a piggyback, players must press the button that is assigned to the "Ask For Help" trigger. When a piggyback is requested, an icon will appear above the players bean with the piggyback symbol.
When a different player accepts the piggyback request, the requesting player will jump on the other players back and will not have to do anything until either jumping off themselves or by getting booted off by the active player. The active player is not weighed down, but will immediately drop the other player if knocked over.
The Fall Feed records when a player asks for help, as well as when that player is piggybacked.

Trivia[]
- In some POINTS and TEAM levels, When a player piggybacks another player that has reached the scoring goal, the piggybacked player will also earn points.
- A player cannot ask for help while carrying something. However, if they hold down the Grab button while asking for help, the normal animation will play without the arms.
