==Description==
'''Backyard Legends Event''', sometimes referred to as the '''adidas Event''', was an event where Tower Defense Simulator collaborated with adidas [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mJJY53qhJe0 Backyard Legends], with the three main characters of the event being from there. It brought in only five new skins, two obtained for beating all maps on Easy difficulty and Hard difficulty, and also three [[Mission Quests]].

The event maps contained three unique modes, each with an Easy and Hard difficulty.

The event began on the 22nd of May 2026, and ended on the 12th of June 2026.

==Official Event Trailer==
[[File:adidas Backyard Legends Trailer ⚽ - Tower Defense Simulator|750px|thumb|center]]

==Trivia==
*When the voicelines for the trailer were being recorded, it was presumed the trailer would show [[Clive]] throughout the years, with it starting with him as a kid up to present day. The line ended up only being changed in the cutscene as the trailer could not be changed last minute.<ref>[[File:AdidasTrailerClive.png|280px]]<br/>https://discord.com/channels/587355301083349002/600908514847883294/1507925507830972599 (Tower Defense Simulator Server)</ref>
*There is cut dialogue that would have played on Wave 5 of an unspecified map that was cut for not being that relevant.<ref>[[File:AdidasCutDialogueProof.png|280px]]<br/>https://discord.com/channels/587355301083349002/600908514847883294/1507929301234876546 (Tower Defense Simulator Server)</ref>

|So how's the kid, Clive? I heard he's gotten pretty big. I bet he's a handful.

|Hah — yeah. After dealing with you for all these years, it's like a walk in the park. Kid says hi, though.

*Many images were made to be used in the '''Backyard Legends Event''', presumably as graffiti, however, all of them went unused.
**Four images related to soccer were made by Squeezewhiz.<ref>[[File:SqueezeWhizGrafitti.png|280px]]<br/>https://x.com/squeeezewhiz/status/2060114111221170664</ref><gallery>

**Two mural pieces were made for this event, one of [[The Umbra]]<ref>[[File:UmbraMuralProof.png|280px]]<br/>https://x.com/BardVfx_x/status/2057881720972624145</ref> and another of the [[Narrator (Story)|Narrator]]<ref>[[File:NarratorMuralProof.png|280px]]<br/>https://x.com/BardVfx_x/status/2057881233598619929</ref> were made by Bard.<gallery>

*None of the enemies in this event have descriptions in their [[Logbooks]] as doing so would have required approval.<ref>[[File:AdidasLogbookProof.png|280px]]<br/>https://x.com/AWritingKiwi/status/2058000490227442095</ref>
*There is an unused enemy from this event called the Decoy2. Functionally, it is identical to the [[Decoy]] that appears in the event, however, it has the same appearance as the [[Soccer Speedy]].
*The '''Backyard Legends Event''' is the first event to allow players to replay cutscenes in the event lobby at any time.
