The first Homestar Runner cartoon ever, made using Mario Paint

This is the first Homestar Runner cartoon ever made, using Mario Paint. In this toon, see Homestar dance in a field, fly through space, run around a boxing ring with Strong Bad, lift weights, and even play guitar—all to the accompaniment of annoying vocals and an electronic rhythm section. Near the end, you can also see early versions of The Cheat, Strong Mad, and Strong Sad, plus Strong Bad's pointy green tongue. Unlike the other toons, this runs in QuickTime instead of Flash.

Cast (in order of appearance): Homestar Runner, Strong Bad, Pom Pom, The Cheat, Strong Mad, Strong Sad

Fun Facts

  • The Brothers Chaps made this for their older brother's birthday.
  • We finally see Strong Bad's tongue, which happens to be green.
  • The Japanese characters are mainly written in katakana, which is a character set used in written Japanese used primarily to write foreign words and onomatopoeias. The exception is the "Homestar with yellow background" screen which also contains hiragana, which are used in a more general-purpose fashion in conjunction with kanji. The Brothers Chaps seem, however, to be expressing gibberish. A possible reason for this is that they may not know Japanese.
  • The music that accompanies this toon could not possibly have been made using Mario Paint, which has a fixed note length and can only play notes in the C-major scale. Furthermore Mario Paint only lets you do nine frames consecutively, indicating that this animation would have had to be recorded to an external source over and over again to achieve many effects present.
  • There ARE various tools in Mario Paint that can create effects seen in the cartoon. For instance, the "drip" at the end is quite clearly one of the erase tools. In addition, many of the animations (like Homestar with the bat) were clearly looping AND less than 9 frames long. The picture quality varies-a sign that the sequences were recorded at different times and linked together.
  • There seems to be several discolorations within the movie. For example, Pom Pom is shown with a white head in the soccer scene, Homestar's visor is blue and Strong Sad is orange.
