"You control a little yellow dog-thing stuffed inside a tire in this sidescroller. Get to the end and a trophy could be yours." —Videlectrix
Awexome Cross is a game of speed and skill. Playing as The Cheat, you must ride the Tire through an obstacle course in Strongbadia.
- Collect the buxx.
- Collect turbos to speed up the tire.
- Collect power...downs? (little back arrows) if you're going too fast.
You get a nice shiny little trophy for each level you complete. The obstacles are General Tso's Chicken, Cinderblocks, syrup bottles, and boxes. If you hit them, you lose a life. At the end of each level, there's the stop sign propped up against the cinderblock. You launch off the sign and add up your points with Strong Mad. You get a trophy and an extra life before you head off to the next one.

Easter Egg
- If you collect every single dollar, and never die a single time up to the point where you've obtained exactly 25,000 points, you will be rewarded with a secret screen. It shows two scantily clad women (like in a NASCAR race) holding up the Cheat, and the Cheat appears to have a pizza trophy of some sort. There is also the message "Yeah, you won."
Fun Facts
- It was originally an Easter egg in monster truck, but it is now featured on the games menu. The original version was only one level.
- It says "Awexome Cross 98," but to the right in smaller print it reads "1987."
- The title screen appearance and music resembles the game "Indianapolis 500."
- Sound effects for jumping and crashing are from "Super Mario Brothers" for the NES.
- The sound effect for when Strong Mad slaps the Tire comes from the arcade game "Qix".
- The pizza trophy is a reference to crazy cartoon.
- A version of this game was created for the Game Boy Advance, available here
Glitches
- Sometimes, on the old version, when you jump and get hit at the same time, the music stops, you stay in one place, and when you jump, you don't go anywhere.
- If you look closely enough, you can see there is a speed difference between the top row (the pickups) and the bottom row. (the obstacles) The pickups don't move to the left as quickly as the obstacles.
