The Navigation Bar (abbreviated as NavBar) is a menu that appears in the footer of almost every page on the website. This bar provides links to the most commonly accessed sections of the website. As of 2021, the NavBar links to:
[h*r logo] main toons sbemails games stores contact
The Navbar is made out of HTML assets, rather than Flash as used for most prior iterations and site content.

History
The Navigation Bar was first implemented on the site in 2003. Originally constructed out of HTML text, it was rebuilt as a Flash component in July 2004. This initial iteration of the menu consisted of:
main toons games characters downloads store sb emails contact legal stuff
The random toon function was added between "contact" and "legal stuff" sometime between August 18 and 22, 2005. "legal stuff" was shortened to "legal" to make room for this addition:
main toons games characters downloads store sb emails contact rando legal
A link to Podstar Runner was added between "sb emails" and "contact" on March 1, 2007:
main toons games characters downloads store sb emails podcast contact rando legal
"Podcast" was replaced with a link to the FeedBurner RSS feed between October 22 and 27, 2009:
main toons games characters downloads store sb emails subscribe contact rando legal
The "store" text color was changed to red sometime between January 17 and 21, 2010 (around the time the "shop our store" button was added to the Index Page); this was reverted between April 1 and 4, 2010:
main toons games characters downloads store sb emails subscribe contact rando legal
"Subscribe" was replaced by a link to the homestarrunnerdotcom YouTube channel between March 9 and April 2, 2015. This was the final iteration of the original NavBar:
main toons games characters downloads store sb emails youtube contact legal rando
The modern NavBar redesign was first seen December 20, 2020, on the Stinkoman 20X6 page after its Version 8.0 update — it was applied to the entire site on December 31 of that year.
Pages without the NavBar
- Astro-Lite 2600 — as of its July 29, 2004 inclusion in the Handheld Games Menu
- Under Construction — in its original April Fools' Day presentation
- Strong Bad Email virus and Main Page 22 — Both include recreations of the then-current NavBar as part of the Flash files, allowing for The Virus to distort its function as part of the toon's narrative.
