This game is based on the [[Wikipedia:Mega Man Classic|classic Capcom ''Mega Man'' series]]. It also parodies the [[Deliberately Poor English|poor Japanese to English translations]] common to video games of that era, similar to those that appear on the [[Scrolling Shooter Games Menu|current Games Menu]]. The game remained unfinished for 15 years, until the [[Stinkoman 20X6 Level 10|final level was released]] alongside a [[Stinkoman Level 10 Launch Trailer|trailer]] on December 20, 2020.

-	'''The Story'''	+	==Story==
-	STINKOMAN and his pals 1-UP and PAN PAN live on Planet K in the year 20X6. This game is all about that. Don't expect any weepy princess crap, this is a STINKOMAN game! Or at least it was last time we checked! Maybe fighting? Maybe challenge?	+	Stinkoman wins a challenge against a robot named [[Stinkoman 20X6 Enemies and Items#tampo|Tampo]], which makes him want to go home. On his journey home, he fights Tampo's brain. Upon arrival at his house, he gets a bowl of chicken soup with a dumpling. [[1-Up]] informs Stinkoman that [[Pan Pan]] has been kidnapped, and Stinkoman chokes on a chicken bone. He is determined to challenge the chicken whose bone he choked on. After beating the chicken, [[Stinkoman 20X6 Enemies and Items#brody|Brody]], he goes outside and encounters a short wall. He jumps into space to get over the wall, which turns out to be another robot, [[Stinkoman 20X6 Enemies and Items#stlunko|Stlunko]]. After beating the robot, Stinkoman takes its stone fist and uses it as his powerup. 1-Up goes out to rescue Pan Pan, and takes Stinkoman's [[Power Crunch]] (a cassette tape) through the Lava Zone. To save his favorite Power Crunch, Stinkoman must protect 1-Up from above. His powerup fist breaks while he fights a lava snake named [[Stinkoman 20X6 Enemies and Items#saargtsson|Saargtsson]], to Stinkoman's dismay.
-	THE CHOICE IS OURS!!	+
-	'''The Controls'''	+	1-Up still wants to save Pan Pan, and Stinkoman isn't willing to help, so 1-Up goes to [[the moon]] on his own, where he gets kidnapped by a shadowy figure &mdash; the same one that kidnapped Pan Pan. Meanwhile, Stinkoman takes a vacation to the Pink Cloud Zone for recreational challenges. The shadowy figure presses a red button to teleport Stinkoman to an icy place, then inside a wall. He blasts a section out of the wall and escapes to the Negative Zone, a glitchy level. There, he finds out that 1-Up and Pan Pan are at [[Stinkoman 20X6 Level 10|level 10]], where the red button is. This leads Stinkoman to believe that they red buttoned him, so he goes to level 10 to get revenge. An evil jungle separates him from level 10 (an evil fortress), so he uses his ship, the [[Stinkoman 20X6 Playable Characters|Stinkowing]], to fly through. The shadowy figure tries to stop him by sending a fleet of robotic sea creatures. Eventually, Stinkoman finally makes it to the evil fortress.
-	This game keeps using ARROW KEYS to move Stinkoman around. It won't stop making him JUMP with the A key or SHOOT with the S key, either. You won't find this kind of quality in other countries!!	+
-	'''Level 1 - Go Home!'''	+	Reaching the fortress's inner sanctum, Stinkoman finds 1-Up and Pan Pan and comes face to face with the shadowy kidnapper, revealed to be [[Z Sabre]]. Z Sabre attempts to destroy Stinkoman so that he can become "the guy", but 1-Up tosses Stinkoman his Power Crunch, powering him up and allowing him to defeat Z-Sabre. Refusing to admit defeat, Z Sabre unleashes his "pet", [[Mecha-Trogador]], but Stinkoman destroys the robot and escapes with the others as the fortress collapses. With Mecha-Trogador destroyed, the crystals powering him are freed, and 1-Up and Stinkoman propose keeping them out of the wrong hands as a potential sequel or animated series, with [[Marzi-Mei]] and [[Cheatball]] wanting to join. Unbeknownst to them, Z Sabre has survived the fortress's destruction, and now has a mouth.

-	* [[Stinkoman 20X6 Hidden Items]]	+
-		+
-	== Bosses ==	+
-	* Tampo - Tampo's weak point is the darker colored, lower part of the brain. You can only hit it when it comes near the ground, and you'll need to jump.  It starts by coming to the lower right.  Stand just in range and shoot it, but make sure you're on the ground when his shots reach you, they shouldn't come close.  He will then float to the top-right.  You want to be closer to the left edge of the screen to be able to jump this shot.  Now run to the right, about mid-screen.  Tampo will do the exact same thing on the left, then will return and repeat.	+
-	* Brody - Brody tries to stomp you with its feet, but eventually it'll try to peck you with its head. Just shoot Brody's head when it appears. Brody takes 5 hits to kill.	+
-	* Stlunko - Stinkoman will ride a conveyor belt on Stlunko with a Pooru-Pooru at each end. while it tries to pound him with its fists. You must shoot at the wall on his head until all of the sections of the wall have been destroyed.	+
	== Fun Facts ==		== Fun Facts ==
-	=== Trivia ===	+	=== Trivia ===
-	* This game is the first official mention of the 20X6 version of Homestar Runner's actual name, 1-Up.	+	{{see|Stinkoman 20X6 Trivia}}
-	* This is the first time we have seen Stinkoman's house, or any 20X6 character's house, for that matter.	+
-	* According to the [[Strong Bad Email]] [[time capsule]], it would seem that Planet K is Earth in the future.	+
-	* Planet K is in the Year 20X6, where gas stoves would have gone out of everyday life, yet some can be seen in stage 2.	+
-	*This is also the first complete platform game that Videlectrix have ever made, as of course Jon Howe programmed it, while the Chaps were simply the graphics designers. ([[Super Kingio Brothers]] was meant as a joke and was impossible to play past the first enemy)	+
	=== Remarks ===		=== Remarks ===
-	* There is a hidden power crunch right before the end of the 1st level. Stand at the top of the triangular set of platforms and then jump up to a hidden platform and jump again.	+	{{see|Stinkoman 20X6 Remarks}}
-	* In the bottom right-hand corner of the PLAY GAME! screen it says "V1.X EPISODES 1-3", possibly hinting at a sequel, or, more likely, since the levels and game elements are stored in seperate files, an expansion.	+
-	* When you beat the game it will say "MORE LEVELS TO COME!"	+
-	* When you beat the final boss, Stinkoman says he got a power-up and puts on the stone fist, showing an almost 100% chance for more levels!	+
-	* The creators of Stinkoman 20X6 are poking fun at the 'all your base are belong to us' type language goofs in the stereotypical English port of a Japanese game.	+
-	* This is the second instance of sprites modeled after 8-bit Megaman, the first instance being with Coach Z in [[Hip Hop Dance]].	+
	=== Goofs ===		=== Goofs ===
-		+	{{see|Stinkoman 20X6 Goofs}}
-	* To get power crunches that are hiding behind enemies without having to kill the enemy, run into the enemy with health to spare. You will take damage, grab the crunch and will be invincible long enough to escape unharmed.	+
-	* This game doesn't feature the regular links at the bottom of the screen to move to other parts of the website.	+
-	* The manual has Kolkaryu listed under level 2, but Kolkaryu already appears in level 1.	+
-	* Greggo will not stop or become indestructable unless you are parallel to him.	+
	=== Glitches ===		=== Glitches ===
-	* When the game was first released, you could skip (press space or click) the first part of the final movie (any part before the MORE LEVELS TO COME SCENE) to enter stage 3.4. It was the Robot Battle arena without the robot: a slightly elevated platform above the ground with two Pooru-Poorus on either side. You could continue traveling rightwards into a barren land before reaching an endless cliff.	+	{{see|Stinkoman 20X6 Glitches}}
-	**This glitch is now fixed. However, if you play the swf you can still play 3.4	+
-	* When you run right and jump, you will flip as if you were running left and jumping.	+
-	* If you fall long enough and don't touch anything, Stinkoman will stop doing his falling pose and act like he's standing and will even start to yawn. Such a long fall can be found in stage 2.2.	+
-	* You can float in mid-air on level 1.1 if a Browntant hits you while you’re falling against the gray pole close to the beginning.	+
-	* If you jump at the right time after killing a boss, you can do your victory pose in midair.	+
-	* If you die with only one life left after defeating a boss, the usual "die" sequence will happen, but then Stinkoman will do his victory dance with no ground beneath him and you will start the next stage with no lives, which will increase by one life and the "Game Over" screen will appear the next time he dies in the next stage.	+
-	* Sometimes you can start up a new game and it will be nothing but Stinkoman and the background.  Since there's no ground, you can only fall and die. This may be linked to older versions of Flash.	+
-	** A possible reason that this happens is because earlier versions of Flash may not be able to read the levelData xml files. For more information on these files, please see the talk page.	+
-	*Not exactly a glitch, but when Stinkoman is about to yawn, his sprite character moves down one pixel.	+
-	*There is a spot in level 2.1 where you can fall between a refrigerator and an adjacent stove, and not be able to jump back up.	+
	=== Inside References ===		=== Inside References ===
-	* "Check out my new gameplay!" is a reference to Stinkoman's quote "Check out my new cosplay!" in [[3 Times Halloween Funjob]].	+	{{see|Stinkoman 20X6 Inside References}}
-	* This is the second appearance of Stinkoman's green tongue. In the "Game Over" screen, Stinkoman's green tongue is shown. It also appeared in [[Super NES]]. Interestingly, Stinkoman's tongue is red or pink all other times you see it in the game -- the green color of Stinkoman's tongue may be due to the fact that he has a "stummyache".	+
-	* The nuggets in Level 3.1 are a reference to [[Strong Bad|Strong Bad's]] Character Video.	+
-	* Level 3.2 reveals that Stinkoman hates apples, just as Strong Bad does in [[The House that Gave Sucky Treats]]	+
-	* The health-restoring pills are a reference to "power crunches" from the Strong Bad E-Mail [[time capsule]].	+
-	* Grundy's illustration in the manual shows him running in a manner similar to a certain [[Homestar Runner|no-armed athlete]].	+
-	* Stlunko, the level 3 boss, has a striking resemblance to the [[Visor Robot]].	+
-	*The Rose Blake's description in the manual as a "'Lectric burner" is a reference to the email [[extra plug]], where Strong Bad gets 'Lectric boots.	+
-	*"Blast em up Dan!" is a reference to "Fire em up Dan" as seen in [[Peasant's Quest]] and "fry 'em up Dan" as seen in [[TROGDOR!]].	+
-	*The sentence in the manual, "Falling from the skies and bove", is a reference to [[That Time of Year]].	+
	=== Real-World References ===		=== Real-World References ===
-	* The sprites used for Stinkoman are patterned after 8-bit ''Mega Man'' sprites.	+	{{see|Stinkoman 20X6 Real-World References}}
-	** In fact, the poses of the white silhouette in the logo are taken directly front the NES ''Mega Man'' series.	+
-	** The sounds of the text appearing in the cinematics are also the same as in ''Mega Man''.	+
-	** In ''Megaman V'' there is a chicken robot similar to the chickens encountered in level 2.	+
-	** When Stinkoman says that the large gray fist could be a new powerup and takes off with it, this is an obvious reference to Megaman taking the power of defeated bosses.	+
-	** At the start of side-scrolling stage the little theme played is very similar to the old Megaman starting theme.  In fact, the whole soundtrack was probably meant to sound like Megaman game music.	+
-	** When Stinkoman can't clear the wall with his normal jump, this is also a joke from Megaman.	+
-	* Right after Tampo blows up in the cinematic, you can hear the same sound that is played in Metroid when Samus phases in.	+
-	* When all three characters flash onto the screen during the intro, that is also a ''Mega Man'' reference, where in one of the arcade games (''The Power Battle'') Mega Man, Proto Man, and Bass would flash onto the screen in a similar way.	+
-	* Stlunko, 404 is a reference to the 404 error that browsers give when a webpage cannot be found.	+
-	* Stinkoman doing a forward flip may be a reference to the ''Metroid'' series, where Samus does very similar flips.	+
-	* The fading blue boxes around Stinkoman's face on the title screen are a reference to large NES sprites, which sometimes had a similar problem.	+
-	* The first boss, Tampo, may be a reference to the final boss of ''Star Fox 64'', which was the giant, floating brain of the enemy, in which it had the same weak point (medulla).	+
-	* The dropping platforms are a reference to the original ''Mega Man'', in which similar platforms were found in the Guts Man stage.	+
-	* Stinkoman's becoming bored when idle is an old gag first found in ''[[Wikipedia:Sonic the Hedgehog (Genesis)|Sonic the Hedgehog]]'' and emulated in countless other titles.	+
-	* The phrase "Table the Label" is from a hilariously bad motivational video hosted by Mr. T called "[http://www.agonybooth.com/mr_t/ Be Somebody or be Somebody's Fool!]"	+
-	* The manual mentioning this game has no "weepy princess crap" is a reference to the Mario series and a few other games where you had to rescue a helpless princess.	+
-	* When Stinkoman defeats Tampo's robot body in the first cinematic scene, Tampo's robot body dies like the bosses from the video game Contra.	+
-	* Only 3 of Stinkoman's flying fists can be on the screen at the same time.  In the ''Mega Man'' series, Mega Man's bullets also suffer from the same drawbacks.	+
-	* The bulky, muscular Stinkoman on the box art is probably a reference to the first ''Mega Man'', where the original American version of the game's box art had a big, muscular Megaman that looked nothing like the character in the game.	+

"Blue hair, anyone? Stinkoman's always got fightings and challenges to keep him busy. Jump and shoot your way to all ends of Planet K. End Boss feature!!" — Videlectrix

Stinkoman 20X6 is a side-scrolling platformer game which stars Stinkoman. This game is based on the classic Capcom Mega Man series. It also parodies the poor Japanese to English translations common to video games of that era, similar to those that appear on the current Games Menu. The game remained unfinished for 15 years, until the final level was released alongside a trailer on December 20, 2020.

The Brothers Chaps demonstrated the game at their talk at NYU before it was released.

As of the post-Flash site update on December 31, 2020, the game has numerous glitches (including certain levels being unplayable) due to issues with Ruffle. The Brothers Chaps have promised that the problem is being worked on and will be fixed someday in the future.

Story

Stinkoman wins a challenge against a robot named Tampo, which makes him want to go home. On his journey home, he fights Tampo's brain. Upon arrival at his house, he gets a bowl of chicken soup with a dumpling. 1-Up informs Stinkoman that Pan Pan has been kidnapped, and Stinkoman chokes on a chicken bone. He is determined to challenge the chicken whose bone he choked on. After beating the chicken, Brody, he goes outside and encounters a short wall. He jumps into space to get over the wall, which turns out to be another robot, Stlunko. After beating the robot, Stinkoman takes its stone fist and uses it as his powerup. 1-Up goes out to rescue Pan Pan, and takes Stinkoman's Power Crunch (a cassette tape) through the Lava Zone. To save his favorite Power Crunch, Stinkoman must protect 1-Up from above. His powerup fist breaks while he fights a lava snake named Saargtsson, to Stinkoman's dismay.

1-Up still wants to save Pan Pan, and Stinkoman isn't willing to help, so 1-Up goes to the moon on his own, where he gets kidnapped by a shadowy figure — the same one that kidnapped Pan Pan. Meanwhile, Stinkoman takes a vacation to the Pink Cloud Zone for recreational challenges. The shadowy figure presses a red button to teleport Stinkoman to an icy place, then inside a wall. He blasts a section out of the wall and escapes to the Negative Zone, a glitchy level. There, he finds out that 1-Up and Pan Pan are at level 10, where the red button is. This leads Stinkoman to believe that they red buttoned him, so he goes to level 10 to get revenge. An evil jungle separates him from level 10 (an evil fortress), so he uses his ship, the Stinkowing, to fly through. The shadowy figure tries to stop him by sending a fleet of robotic sea creatures. Eventually, Stinkoman finally makes it to the evil fortress.

Reaching the fortress's inner sanctum, Stinkoman finds 1-Up and Pan Pan and comes face to face with the shadowy kidnapper, revealed to be Z Sabre. Z Sabre attempts to destroy Stinkoman so that he can become "the guy", but 1-Up tosses Stinkoman his Power Crunch, powering him up and allowing him to defeat Z-Sabre. Refusing to admit defeat, Z Sabre unleashes his "pet", Mecha-Trogador, but Stinkoman destroys the robot and escapes with the others as the fortress collapses. With Mecha-Trogador destroyed, the crystals powering him are freed, and 1-Up and Stinkoman propose keeping them out of the wrong hands as a potential sequel or animated series, with Marzi-Mei and Cheatball wanting to join. Unbeknownst to them, Z Sabre has survived the fortress's destruction, and now has a mouth.

Easter Eggs

• Hover your mouse below "Controls" on the main menu to access the Stinkomanual.
  • On slower connections, the words "loading manuél" appear while the Stinkomanual loads.
  • As of the Level 10 update, the Stinkomanual is now a regular menu option.
• Wait long enough at the title screen to see an intro cinematic.
• Stay still long enough and Stinkoman will yawn.
  • On the Level 4 stages, after yawning Stinkoman will rest against his giant fist.
  • On the Level 5 stages, 1-Up will fall asleep and blow a snot bubble.
  • On the Level 7 stages, Stinkoman will shiver and eventually freeze (this costs you one unit of energy.)
• You can find various invisible platforms if you jump around on different parts of the levels.
• Upon completing the end credits, a link for the HD uncompressed version of the intro appears.
