In ~~the first~~ ''[[Portal]]'', '''Hoopy the Hoop''' was a ~~lone~~ hoop ~~that dropped and rolled over in-front~~ of ~~the player~~ at the end of the game. ~~While Valve had anticipated~~ Hoopy the ~~Hoop would become an~~ [[~~w:Internet meme|internet meme~~]], [[~~cake~~]] ~~took that place and Hoopy~~ the ~~Hoop was forgotten~~.~~<ref>~~[http://www.gameinformer.com/b/features/archive/2010/03/10/opening-the-portal-exploring-portal-s-creation-and-its-ties-to-half-life-2.aspx?PostPageIndex=3 ~~Gameinformer interview~~], ~~page 3~~. ~~Retrieved 2011~~-05-04.~~</ref>~~

In ''[[Portal]]'', '''Hoopy the Hoop''' was a hoop fallen from the {{spoiler|sky among the wreckage of [[GLaDOS]] at the end of the game. Hoopy landed on the [[Aperture Science]] parking lot in front of [[Chell]] just before being dragged off by the [[Party Escort Bot]].}}

As joked about in an interview with [[Valve]] on [http://www.gameinformer.com/b/features/archive/2010/03/10/opening-the-portal-exploring-portal-s-creation-and-its-ties-to-half-life-2.aspx?PostPageIndex=3 "Opening The Portal: Exploring The Game's Development"], said they never expected "The Cake is a Lie" to become such a huge hit. The developers said they expected, if anything, that Hoopy the Hoop would become the meme derived from ''Portal''.

Erik Wolpaw jokes, "We thought we should have a warehouse full of Hoopy t-shirts and mugs and posters…we would watch that hoop roll by over and over again. That was the part of the game we were most proud of, and nobody cared."

In Portal 2 it became a [[Wikipedia:Canon (fiction)|canon]] joke, by reappearing in some chambers (See "Portal 2" Below.).

Hoopy's in-game object names are glados_gib_10 and glados_debris_05.

Hoopy the Hoop rolls across the screen {{spoiler|at the end of the game as [[Chell]] lays outside the [[Aperture Science]] facility.}}

=== ''Portal 2'' ===

Hoopy ~~appears~~ in ''Portal 2'' behind a desk in [[Doug Rattmann|Rattmann's]] den in [[Portal 2 Chapter 1 Test Chamber 06|Test Chamber 06]]~~. It~~ is the same den as referred to by the [[Achievements#Portal 2|Final Transmission]] achievement.

Hoopy is known to appear in a few places within ''Portal 2''. Its earliest known appearance is in [[Portal 2 Chapter 1 Her Chamber|GLaDOS' ruined chamber]], where it lays slightly to the left of what could be described as [[GLaDOS]]' head; its second known appearance is underneath a floor [[Panels|panel]] in [[Portal 2 Chapter 2 Test Chamber 2|Test Chamber 02]]. {{spoiler|It then makes its third known appearance behind a desk in [[Doug Rattmann|Rattmann]]'s den in [[Portal 2 Chapter 2 Test Chamber 6|Test Chamber 06]]; this is the same den as referred to by the [[Achievements#Portal 2|Final Transmission]] achievement.}}

Hoopy's fourth appearance is in one of the randomly-chosen exit corridors in chambers created with the [[Puzzle Maker|Perpetual Testing Initiative]]. It is seen by noclipping into the ceilings of the exit corridor, although it doesn't appear in every one.

== Trivia ==

* Hoopy appears multiple times as an easter egg in [[Portal_Stories:_Mel | Portal Stories: Mel]].
