Kick The Cheat is a "game" that was accessible from the Flash Store. The player must hit the "KICK!" button to make a giant Strong Bad foot kick The Cheat as he falls from a robotic arm. If The Cheat is hit successfully, he slams against a brick wall and falls to the ground. It is also possible to hit him so that he merely flies up into the air, but does not hit the wall. No points will be earned for this. The score is calculated once The Cheat hits the wall, therefore if one presses "reset" before he hits the wall, the point will not be added. The game uses Flash LSOs (similar to cookies) to save the player's score between sessions of the game (i.e., if one stops playing and comes back later, the score is remembered).

Fun Facts
Explanations

- The Cheat will always land in the same position (with the top of his head pointing toward the player).
- If one holds the KICK! button while The Cheat is dropping, the leg will raise backward, building up power.
