Button Effects

• Store — Marzipan goes across the screen chasing a butterfly with a net.
• Email — Strong Bad, holding the Enchanted Chalice from Adventure, runs away from Yorgle the Atari Dragon while yelling, "Somebody get this freakin' duck away from me!"

Fun Facts

Remarks

• The scrolling road is like a daytime version of Nighttime Driving Type Game from Strong Bad's Message Bored.

Goofs

The plane isn't low. It's just in the foreground.

• The wing of the airplane will pass over any action happening in The Field. The only thing it does not pass is Homestar Runner's head.
• After Strong Bad runs across the screen when the cursor rolls over "Email", the Flash file restarts itself, causing the What's New links to disappear for one frame.

Inside References

• Strong Bad's line is a reference to Homestar Runner's line from the first deleted scenes on In Search Of The Yello Dello DVD.

Real-World References

• The sound effects for the "Games" and "Email" buttons are taken from the Atari 2600 game Combat.
• The sound effect when you mouse over the "Characters" button is from the Atari 2600 game Pitfall!, when Pitfall Harry would collect a gold bar, diamond ring, etc.
• The effect when Strong Bad disappears is from Pac-Man for the Atari 2600. The first sound effect made when you mouse over the "Downloads" button is the sound Pac-Man makes when eating a pellet.
