Description[]

Danton is a man with a water green skin; blue cap and shirt and black hair, eyebrows and mustache. He wears glasses and suspenders.

Nina[]
Unlike Anton and Annie, who are simply roommates, Danton and Nina are a married couple. While some artwork implies that they are a loving couple, the game's credits reveals that without Brulo, Danton quits construction business as they used their fortune to start a Marriage Counseling. It lists their Marriage Counseling Firm's slogan as "If We Can Make It Work, Why Can't You?", implying they might have some things to sort out.
Gameplay[]
Danton spawns in specific spots of almost every level, fixing something, when interacted with, he will die on the spot and drop a green poker chip upon defeat. He can also be seen in Peanut Park, preparing the boss rush room, as indicated by a sign nearby. Interacting with him now will make him say "It's not finished yet!"

Trivia[]
- Although it was possible for him and Nina to become playable if a stretch goal was reached, which it wasn’t, there is still a Spray that gives Anton his color scheme, and gives Annie Nina’s color scheme.
- Despite the rarity of Danton appearing, that unique green chip that was specifically made for him is worth 500 points like a red chip.
- Danton had originally green skin and purple/black overalls, as seen in Antonball Deluxe. He was changed into having a more lighter greenish blue skin and having blue/black overalls to better fit the Antonblast style.
- In one of the game files. Danton Small was in fact gonna be a playable character, he also has a shop sprite.
- Danton Small's name is an alteration of Anton Ball's name, simply adding a D for the first name and replacing the B with "Sm", in ways similar to playground insults (e.g Joe Schmoe). The last name rule also applies to Nina Smell.
- It is possible to avoid and spare Danton in The Mad Mall without waiting for the timer to run out. This also applies to The Mysterious Glasshouse and Pinball Mire.
- His Antonball Deluxe design appears to be based off Dan Backslide, The main antagonist of The Dover Boys, a Looney Tunes short, with a bit of Waluigi thrown in there
- He also has his own sprite in the lobby, but when coded in the game, interacting with him crashes the game.[1]
- He also has sprites of him talking and blinking.[1]
