references ever made in Zelda Comic,
Witch's Brew and Aminal Crossing. Well, most of them. *wink*</pre>

===''Witch's Brew'' ===
The origin of the Witch's Brew name came from Homestar's famous Halloween [[Witches' Brew | witch's brew]] line. (Alas, however, the phrase is not spelled correctly in the comic.) Also, in the [http://homepage.mac.com/witchsbrew/brews1-10/brew01.html first] comic, Homestar appears on the last panel, and the [http://homepage.mac.com/witchsbrew/brews1-10/brew03.html third] comic uses the CHILDREN! panel from [[Teen Girl Squad]].

In the [http://www.jediburger.com/comics/finalstupidity/004.html fourth] comic, "Obligatory Pop Culture Reference," [[Dangeresque too]] makes a small cameo on the last panel. 
The fifth comic's title, "Burninated", is an obvious reference to Trogdor. 
The seventh comic's title, "Got Witch's Brew?" is a reference to Homestar's obsession with witch's brew.

===''Sluggy Freelance'' ===
The weekly filler Meanwhile in the Dimension of Pain shows the demons deathmatching. When Horribus uses the Unholy Hand grenade and the demons are all incinerated, the panel reads "And all was laid to burnination."

At the bottom of the [http://zeldacomic.net/archives/ac/?pic=018.png 18th comic] you can find the text "Oh, there are two of them." The main character also says "I hate this friggin' town.", a reference to [[Meet Marshie]].

Also, in Episode 22, the main character gets MONKEY SLAM'D!! an unmistakeable TGS reference.

===''Zebra Girl''===
In [http://zebragirl.keenspot.com/images/entry62.jpg this Sandra's Journal! comic], Sandra answers an oddly-familiar reader email in a novel manner.

Also, in comic #317 Steve is wearing an "Eh Steve!" T-shirt.

In comic #333 [http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=333], Raven wants to be left alone to close the coffee shop. She exclaims, "I can do it! I can totally do it nine times!" This is a referance to The Cheat's crazy cartoon in [[crazy cartoon]], where it is said by Strong Bad.

*The Homestar Runner wiki was mentioned 4-25-05 with the following quote:
<pre>Just wanna give a shoutout to Homestar Runner Wiki for citing all the Homestar
references ever made in Zelda Comic,
Witch's Brew and Aminal Crossing. Well, most of them. *wink*</pre>

===''Witch's Brew'' ===
The origin of the Witch's Brew name came from Homestar's famous Halloween [[Witches' Brew | witch's brew]] line. (Alas, however, the phrase is not spelled correctly in the comic.) Also, in the [http://homepage.mac.com/witchsbrew/brews1-10/brew01.html first] comic, Homestar appears on the last panel, and the [http://homepage.mac.com/witchsbrew/brews1-10/brew03.html third] comic uses the CHILDREN! panel from [[Teen Girl Squad]]. The [http://homepage.mac.com/witchsbrew/brews1-10/brew06.html sixth] comic tells us to not fake the funk on a nasty dunk, one of [[Homsar]]'s quotes from [[interview]].

===''Final Stupidity''===
In the [http://www.jediburger.com/comics/finalstupidity/004.html fourth] comic, "Obligatory Pop Culture Reference," [[Dangeresque too]] makes a small cameo on the last panel. 
The fifth comic's title, "Burninated", is an obvious reference to Trogdor. 
The seventh comic's title, "Got Witch's Brew?" is a reference to Homestar's obsession with witch's brew.

===''Sluggy Freelance'' ===
The weekly filler Meanwhile in the Dimension of Pain shows the demons deathmatching. When Horribus uses the Unholy Hand grenade and the demons are all incinerated, the panel reads "And all was laid to burnination."

'''Strong Bad Email #69'''

HockeymanJ05 writes in to ask which one of the emails is Strong Bad's favorite, and Strong Bad takes a trip down memory lane.

'''Cast (in order of appearance):''' [[Strong Bad]], [[Homestar Runner]], [[Grape Nuts Robot]], [[Bubs]], [[Coach Z]], [[The Cheat]], [[Pom Pom]], [[Gavin]] (Easter egg)

'''Places:''' [[Computer Room]], [[The Field]], [[Strong Sad's Room]] (seen through a hole in the wall), [[Bubs' Concession Stand]], [[Marzipan's House]], [[The Stone Bridge]]

{{Comp|Compy 386}}, [[Tandy 400]]

'''Date:''' April 14, 2003

'''Running Time:''' 2:20

== Transcript ==
'''STRONG BAD:'''
OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH EMAIL!!! ''{This echoes and a wicked guitar solo plays while Strong Bad rocks out.}'' Whoa, that ruled. What function key do I gotta press to get that to happen again?

''{Tries to type the key again, eventually hitting Enter and loading the email:}''

<blockquote class="email">Hey Strong Bad, 
 
You have done so many of these 
e-mails which one would you say is 
the best, or your personal favorite. 
 
Thanks, 
HockeymanJ05</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad pronounces the name "Hockeyjockeymannooh... whatever".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Well, Hockeyfriend, my emails are like my childrens. I love them all! But if I had to play favorites... Let's see...

''{Cut to the scene of [[invisibility]] where Strong Bad punches Homestar.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' There's that one where they asked what I'd do if I was invisable ''{pronounces it like that}'', and I got to punch Homestar in the gutter.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, hey guys. Oof!

''{Homestar Runner is punched in the gut by an unseen force.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Owwww, those things are bad for you.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Ooh, and that one where my computer exploded.

''{Cut to Strong Bad sitting at Tandy 400. It explodes and he is sent flying across the room and through the wall.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' And then there's that on where Bubs built the Strong Bad Robot out of a box of Grape Nuts and a Speak & Spell.

''{Cut to Bubs and Strong Bad standing in a field with the Grape Nuts Robot.}''

'''GRAPE NUTS ROBOT:''' Now spell "Come back Ali. Come back Ali's sister."

'''STRONG BAD:''' No way! That sounds just like me! ''{Strong Bad does a number of double-takes.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' And that time where that girl wrote in and I drank a glass of soy sauce and thought I could fly Bubs' Concession Stand.

''{Cut to Strong Bad sitting on top of Bubs' Concession Stand. He's wearing aviation goggles and is holding a makeshift steering wheel. Empty soy sauce bottles are strewn about.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Whoohooo! Clear the launchway, man. We're takin' this baby ''TO THE MOOOOOOON''!

''{Strong Bad falls over backward behind the sign and the "D" falls off, onto Bubs' counter. Bubs immediately puts up a sign that says "'D' for SALE".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Oh, and who could forget... TAPE LEG TWO!

''{Cut to Strong Bad stitting at the Tandy 400. There's an e-mail on the screen which says:''

<blockquote class="tandy email">Dear strong bad again, 
my brothers continue to tell me that your 
legs are made of tape, are you sure it's not true? 
-Nicolas</blockquote>

''a> They still say my legs are made of tape?! WHAT?? I say again, do I look like some kinda tape-leg? I swear on Strong Sad's grave, man, I was never, nor will I ever be, a tape-leg.''

''{He sticks his foot in the air and it's covered with tape.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Oh and how 'bout that one where I left such a good prank call on Marzipan's answering machine that it exploded?

''{Cut to [[Marzipan's Answering Machine]].}''

'''STRONG BAD:''': ''{from answering machine}'' PRANK CALL!!

''{Marzipan's Answering Machine squeals and explodes, leaving behind only half of a tape labeled "Lilith Fair '99".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''': ''{voiceover}'' And then there's that really old one that asked what my favorite phrase was.

''{Cut to [[Marshmallow's Last Stand (toon)|Marshmallow's Last Stand]] style Strong Bad at the Tandy 400. An e-mail on the screen reads "Favorite phrase? -trixie".}''

'''BADLY DRAWN STRONG BAD:''' ''{in really cruddy voice}'' I like-a to say, "Holy crap!"

''{Marshmallow's Last Stand Homestar appears.}''

'''BADLY DRAWN HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{in really cruddy voice}'' Oh no, it's a Strong Bad!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' And the one where Pom Pom and Coach Z got in that knife fight on the stone bridge.

''{Cut to stone bridge over a river. Coach Z and Pom Pom are facing each other with knives. Coach Z keeps dodging back and forth and Pom Pom deftly twirls his knife.}''

'''COACH Z:''' ''{to Pom Pom}'' Hoo-ah! Woo-ghi! I'm a blade-man, man!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' And then the one where The Cheat drank a glass of soy sauce and tried to eat Bubs' Concession Stand.

''{Cut to Bubs' Concession Stand. Empty soy sauce bottles are strewn about and The Cheat is gnawing away at the back corner.}''

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{The Cheat noises and growls}''

''{Pan to Strong Bad, atop Bubs' Concession Stand again with his aviation goggles and steering wheel.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hold on tight, The Cheat — we're blastin' offa ''TO THE MOOOOOOOON''!

''{Cut back to Strong Bad in front of the computer}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' So that's it, Soccerdude. That's pretty much the cream of the crop. There might be a few other good ones but uh, if you ask me it doesn't get any better than that Grape Nuts robot. ''{not typing}'' Okay, so.. OHHHHHH THAT'S THE END!!

''{Strong Bad's last line echoes, and he begins imitating a guitar, but the rockin' music doesn't come back.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh man, which button was it..?

''{[[The Paper]] comes down.}''

== Easter Eggs ==
*At the end you can click on the word "other" to see two bonus emails:
**Email One:
''{Strong Bad is sitting at the Tandy 400. There is an email on the screen.}''

<blockquote class="tandy email">Dear Strong Bad, 
 
Are you are real wrestle-man? I'm hope that u.r. 
-Pred</blockquote>

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' How about that time when Gavin wouldn't leave me alone?

''{[[Gavin]] crawls across the screen.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{swatting at Gavin}'' Get outta here, man, I'm checking my email!
:*Email Two:
''{Strong Bad is sitting at the Compy. There is an email on the screen.}''

<blockquote class="email">Sup Strong Bad, 
Do that thing you do that one time. I 
wasn't watching and I missed it. 
Forever young, 
Zebbadee</blockquote>

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' There was that one where the G and U keys were the only ones that weren't broken.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' guUU gu guu uuUUUuu gugug ug ug UG gu gu Gu gu

*You can also click on the words "Grape Nuts robot." Each time you click, you get a different Grape Nuts Robot quote:
**"Now spell 'Carp for brains.'"
**"Things were just about to start getting crazy-go-nuts."
**"Now spell '[[Double Deuce|Douuuuuuuuble Deuce]].'"
*Also at the end you can hit the "q" key to hear Strong Bad's email intro tune again.

== Fun Facts ==
===Explanations===
*Only the first two emails ([[invisibility]] and [[gimmicks]]) are real. "Tape-leg 2" isn't real, although it refers to [[tape-leg]].
===Trivia===
* The side of the box of Grape Nuts says, "This is a very healthy choice for your breakfast needs. Try it once or more, for best results. Ingredients: cereal, milk, more cereal, 2% milk, more ceral [sic], more milk, grape nuts, nuggets, nuggets, nuggets, assorted premium ingrediants [sic]." iron 0g, calcium 0g, fiber 0g, oats 0g, wheats 0g, Vit. C 0g, zinc 0g
*Coach Z’s original line during the knife fight with Pom Pom was "I'm a white guy with a knife!" This was changed within a week after the email came out.
*The contrast knobs work during "Tape-leg 2."

===Remarks===
*The alcohol [http://www.albalagh.net/halal/col3.shtml content] in [[Wikipedia:Soy sauce|soy sauce]] is generally less than 2% by volume.
*It is debatable whether all of the emails featured are really part of the H*R continuity or not, especially with the Grape Nuts Robot's comeback in [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 8]].
*The two real emails both pertain to the fall of the [[Tandy 400]] and the introduction of the [[Compy 386]]. It's possible that they are two of Strong Bad's favourites due to how much Strong Bad disliked the Tandy 400 in comparison to the Compy 386, as evidenced by his indifference while knocking the Tandy off the desk in [[invisibility]] and his interminable crying at the end of [[virus]].

===Goofs===
* Strong Bad's Shift/Caps Lock and space bar keys were obviously also working in the email in the egg, not just G and U, not to mention being able to type "strongbad_email.exe" to pull the mail up in the first place.
**He may not have needed to type "strongbad_email.exe" exactly, because in [[anything]], Homestar types "sb_enail.com" and it worked.
* When Strong Bad shoos Gavin away from the screen, his arm doesn't show up in the reflection on the screen.
*At the end when Strong Bad is headbanging, you can see his chin protrude from the bottom of the Compy.

===Inside References===
*"Now spell 'Come back Ali. Come back Ali's sister,'" is a reference to [[sisters]].
*"Now spell 'Douuuble Deuce,'" is a reference to [[the bird]].
*Strong Bad pronounces the word "invisible" as "invisable," a reference to [[invisibility]].
*"Things were just about to start getting crazy-go-nuts" is a reference to "[[The Luau]]."

===Real-World References===
*The guitar riff in the intro is ostensibly from "The Game" by [[Wikipedia:Motorhead|Motorhead]].
*[[Wikipedia:Speak & Spell (game)|Speak & Spell]] was an educational toy sold in the late 1970s.
*Marzipan's answering machine tape says "lilith fair '99." Lilith Fair is a music festival celebrating feminist musicians, and women in general.
*The soy sauce bottles have writing on them in yellow letters, with "KIKKO" being visible. This is most definitely a bottle of Kikkoman Soy Sauce.
*One of the easter egg emails was from "Zebbadee," a character from a French/English children's TV program called "The Magic Roundabout."
*"Forever Young" in Zebadee's Easter egg email is probably a reference to Bob Dylan's song of the same name. It could also be a reference to the 1980s pop group Alphaville, who had a number one hit with a song and album of the same name in 1984 (and little else thereafter). Strong Bad also ends his "[[dreamail]]" (from the SB email of the same name) with "forever young."

== DVD Version ==
*The method for accessing the two bonus emails has been split. Click on the Strong Bad icon on the top left for the Gavin email, and bottom-left for the broken keyboard email.
*All three Grape Nuts robot quotes have been incorporated into the same video.
*The guitar riff Easter egg is still there — obviously not accessible by hitting "Q," but instead by clicking a Strong Bad Icon on the right side of the screen.
*The DVD version features hidden creator's commentary. To access it, switch your DVD player's audio language selection while watching.

'''MATT:''' Yeah, Mike did this. Lixx! Those are—

'''MIKE:''' Hot lixx!

'''MATT:''' L-I-X-X

'''MIKE:''' I used to have this poster in my room of this red guitar and it said "HOT LIXX" and they were, like, smoking guitar strings?

'''MATT:''' Yeah, I think you're right.

'''MIKE:''' I think I got it for my 14th birthday, maybe?

'''MATT:''' Did mom buy you a "HOT LIXX" poster? Or did you just go—

'''MATT:''' Like, from mom?

'''MIKE:''' I think so.

'''MATT:''' That's amazing.

'''MIKE:''' That's a loving mother right there.

'''MATT:''' I know! Hot lixx

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, that's great. I also got some, um, some leather gloves with the fingers cut off. Like, weight-lifting gloves.

'''MATT:''' Yeah, that's right.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah. Oh that right there, that's one of my favorite parts is when Homestar Runner says "Hey guys!" ''{starts cracking up}'' to floating boxes of Swiss Cake Rolls.

''{pause}''

'''MIKE:''' I really should make that robot.

'''MATT:''' Yeah, we should. I bet Slocum could do that, Paul Slocum, the guy that's making the Atari 2600 Homestar Runner game. I bet he could

'''MIKE:''' figure

'''MATT:''' figure that out.

'''MATT:''' Hey, Kikkoman, everybody says you're The Guy! Get it?

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, Stink— yeah.

'''MATT:''' Sounds like... the tape right here, that looked really good, the tape floating down... watch this. Ah. Lillith Fair '99. Uh, this is, of course, a homage to when we... sucked.

''{Mike laughs}''

'''MATT:''' In animation, and funny. The

'''MIKE:''' Matt, do we not do that anymore?

'''MATT:''' No.

'''MIKE:''' We don't?

'''MATT:''' Uh, the Stone Bridge, there is a Stone Bridge near here.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah. We need to go film the Puppet Stuff there.

'''MATT:''' Some live action stuff. I like that, The Cheat gnawing on something. We should use that again.

''{Mike laughs}''

'''MIKE:''' People would all the time e-mail us, and probably still do, asking about how come they can't find those e-mails.

'''MATT:''' Yeah. Well, it's because, we start, you know, making stuff

''{Mike and Matt talk at the same time, resulting in an unintelligible sound}''

'''MIKE:''' People that aren't the smartest, you know... don't get the joke.

'''MATT:''' Joke it out.

'''STRONG BAD:''' I'm intrigued by these...how you say...emails.

''{He pulls up the email and reads it aloud:}''

<blockquote class="compy email">Hi strong bad! 
I wanted to know what your craziest 
cartoon would be like. Please make a 
CRAZY cartoon. 
 
Your awesome friend monkeydude</blockquote>

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Look, I'm not your friend, monkey dude. In fact, I'm not even gonna call you monkeydude ''{he types "******" instead of "monkeydude"}'' again. I'ma call you Josh. ''{pause}'' So, a kah-razy cartoon huh, Josh? Crazy cartoons usually have titles that have nothing to do with the cartoon itself. ''{stops typing}'' You know, like...

''{Cut to a weird cartoon landscape, where a cartoon logo appears.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Sweet Cuppin' Cakes! The main character would look like a mix between a cow and a helicopter.

''{Sherlock flies in accompanied by helicopter noise.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' And his talking would be just these weird sounds, and no words.

''{Sherlock makes incoherent mumbling sounds.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' And all the episodes would be about him trying to get a little worm out of the ground.

''{A hole in the ground opens up and a worm peeks out. Sherlock lands on top of it.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Oh! Oh! And at least once an episode, Eh! Steve would show up to deliver his catchphrase!

''{Eh! Steve drops down from the top of the screen}''

'''EH! STEVE:''' Eh! Steve!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' And Bubs would definitely be the voice of the wheelchair.

''{Eh! Steve runs off and a badly drawn wheelchair pulls up}''

'''THE WHEELCHAIR:''' I'll get you Eh! Steve, if it's the last thing I dooooo!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' I'd be in there too, but my head would be an old keyboard, and when I get mad, it'd play the demo.

''{Strong Bad with a keyboard head starts dancing around while the demo plays. Sherlock starts dancing along, and Eh! Steve runs past, being pursued by the wheelchair. Cut back to the Compy.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' So that's a pretty crazy cartoon huh, Josh? But I'm not much of an animator. Though I bet The Cheat makes some crazy cartoons. Let's see what he's cookin' up tonight. Today. Just right.

=== Powered by The Cheat ===

''{Cut to The Cheat on Tangerine Dreams working on an animation. Strong Bad comes up to him.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' 'Sup, my man? What're you workin' on today?

''{The Cheat makes noises, then starts up the animation. It is of very poor quality, in typical The Cheat style. "POWEREd by THE CHEAT" flashes on the screen. Cut to Strong Bad and Homestar Runner out at the field.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hey, Strong Bad! I need to be kicked in the face.

'''STRONG BAD:''' I can do it! I will do it nine times.

''{Strong Bad jumps up in the air and kicks Homestar in the face nine times}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' This is the last—

'''STRONG BAD:''' Shut it up! Shut it up, you.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Shut it up, me.

''{The Cheat runs on screen}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Here, The Cheat, have a trophy!

''{Strong Bad tosses him a trophy, and The Cheat squeaks}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Here, The Cheat, have another trophy!

''{A trophy falls out of Homestar's mouth and The Cheat catches it. Strong Bad kicks Homestar in the face.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' I was saving that one for about two seconds ago.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Perfect. Timing.

''{Coach Z drops down from the sky, trophy in hand}''

'''COACH Z:''' Here, The Chort, have a trophy!

'''STRONG BAD AND HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Three trophies for The Cheat!

'''COACH Z:''' ''(at the same time)'' Three trophies for The Chort!

''{Eh! Steve shows up}''

'''EH! STEVE:''' Eh! Steve!

''{the cartoon pans out to a badly drawn cartoon of Strong Bad and The Cheat watching the toon}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' The Cheat, this is the greatest cartoon in the whole world! Have a trophy!

''{Strong Bad gives The Cheat a trophy and The Cheat squeaks. Zoom out again to the ''actual'' Strong Bad and The Cheat.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey, I didn't do that! Did I? ''{The Cheat squeaks}'' I mean, it was good. I liked the way you worked in Eh! Steve!, but I don't think it deserved a trophy. I don't even think it deserved a pizza! Maybe a pizza trophy.

''{[[The Paper]] comes down. In the toon version, it says "The End"; in the email version it has the usual "Click here to e-mail Strong Bad".}''

== Easter Eggs ==
*At the end you can click on Eh! Steve on The Cheat's screen to see him again.
*Also at the end you can click on The Cheat's CD-ROM drive to get some Sweet Cuppin' Cakes [http://www.homestarrunner.com/sccicons.html buddy icons] (email version only).

== Fun Facts ==
=== Trivia ===
*The [[Powered by The Cheat]] portion of this email is shown by itself in the Powered by The Cheat section of the Toons menu.
*It is a running gag that in almost every [[Powered by The Cheat]] toon [[Strong Bad]]'s leg gets long and kicks [[Homestar]].
*[[The Cheat]] apparantly likes the purple color. He accidentally makes [[Coach Z]] purple and later gives [[Strong Bad]] purple boxing gloves in [[New Boots]].
*This is the first appearance of the main cast of "Sweet Cup N' Cakes".

=== Inside References ===
*The noise made as Eh! Steve jumps off-screen is the same noise made in [[Marshmallow's Last Stand (toon)|Marshmallow's Last Stand]] when Strong Mad throws Homestar out of the ring.
*Strong Bad saying that The Cheat's cartoon "didn't even deserve a pizza" is a reference to [[Everybody to the Limit]], where Strong Bad (impressed with The Cheat's cartoon) said he'd buy him a pizza.

===Real-World References===
*The demo that is played by Keyboard Strong Bad is the actual demo from a [http://www.synthmuseum.com/casio/casvltone01.html Casio VL-Tone keyboard]. The tune is known as "Unterlanders Heimweh" (which means "Homesickness of the Lowlander" in German), and for many years, was the only song used in Casio keyboard one-button-select demos.
**This song would later be the inspiration for the "Cheat Cakes" song in the easter egg for [[stupid stuff]].
*The Macromedia Flash interface is shown here when The Cheat is working on his cartoon.
*The idea of Sherlock spending all of his time trying to catch a worm might be a throwback to the [[Wikipedia:U.S. Acres|"U.S. Acres"]] segment of the TV series [[Wikipedia:Garfield and Friends|''Garfield and Friends'']]. In it, one of the running gags involved Booker the chick trying to catch a worm that always seemed to be smarter than he was.

== DVD Version ==
*The buddy icons Easter egg is disabled for obvious reasons.
*The DVD version features hidden creator's commentary. To access it, switch your DVD player's audio language selection while watching.

('''Commentary by:''' [[Mike Chapman]], [[Matt Chapman]])

'''MIKE:''' Hi, I'm Mike.

'''MATT:''' Hi, my name's Matt C.

'''MIKE:''' We're gonna make the commentary on this Strong Bad e-mail... ''{pause}'' Is, uh... I don't know what I'm talking about.

'''MIKE:''' 'S true.

'''MATT:''' So, what else? There was—we had some other names, I remember, there was Sweet Cuppin' Cakes, and there was like some kinda Grandma—

'''MIKE:''' ''{overlapping}'' I think it was Grandma, Grandma's Soup or something.

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' That guy's name is Sherlock.

'''MATT:''' ''{chuckling}'' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' Cow-copter, his real name is Sherlock, but it's never been revealed other than the files on our computer saved as "Sherlock".

'''MATT:''' Yeah. And, of course, Eh! Steve came from a doodle on a, during—we were having a meeting, and I doodled him on a paper—

'''MIKE:''' And the wheelchair, Matt just, like, as a joke, just drew this wheelchair real fast and was like, ''{false excited}'' "Mike, I got the wheelchair done." And I was like, ''{false serious}'' I was all like, "We should keep it just like that."

'''MATT:''' Yeah. And of course, that's the Casio VL tone, which, um, we have right here.

'''MIKE:''' Where is it? It's right there, we're holding it in our hands, but you probably can't—

'''MATT:''' ''{overlapping}'' Listen, Mitch, could you—There's no batteries in it, so but this is—

''{sound of fingers across the plastic keys}''

'''MIKE:''' This is what it sounds like when you hit it against Matt's head.

''{four light taps}''

'''MATT:''' You hear that? That's the—That's it, I swear. Um...

'''MIKE:''' And here's my chance to, uh, shine here in a second.

'''MATT:''' Yeah, Mike does—

'''MIKE:''' ''{overlapping}'' As—As I voice the Cheat's bad cartoons.

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' Here I go. ''{over PbTC Homestar}'' That's me. ''{mumbled, then synched with cartoon as PbTC Strong Bad}'' I can do it! I will do it nine times. ''{mimics sound of PbTC Strong Bad kicking PbTC Homestar in the face three times}''

'''MATT:''' Now Mike, what if ''I'' sat here and just did my voice during my voice—

'''MIKE:''' ''{overlapping}'' Hey, this is my ''one'' thing! I just wanna double—I gonna, ghe, double my own voices. ''{synched with cartoon as PbTC Strong Bad}'' Here the Cheat, have a trophy. ''{synched with cartoon as PbTC Homestar}'' Here the Cheat, have another trophy.

'''MATT:''' ''{laughs}'' Are you really just gonna do that throughout?

'''MIKE:''' Well... I like the pink Coach Z, though.

'''MATT:''' Yeah, the pink Coach Z is great, those clouds are, um, are awesome...

''{pause}''

''{both snicker at PbTC Eh! Steve}''

'''MIKE:''' But the best part is, uh, coming up here. ''{short pause}'' Wait...

'''MATT:''' What are you talking about?

'''MIKE:''' Oh, no, it's the [[mile]] one, with the parade...?

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' I was thinkin—

'''MATT:''' ''{overlapping}'' We'll do that one later.

'''MIKE:''' Okay. Can I still talk about the parade?

'''MATT:''' Yeah, yeah, yeah.

'''MIKE:''' I like the Poopsmith cleaning up there at the end of the parade.

'''MATT:''' ''{hurried stuttering}'' wel—no—I—bu—

* If you die, when you're asked "Play Again? [Y/N]", pressing N doesn't do anything.
* Right-click and save as on the flash file. Once you have started the game, type something in. Do not erase it. Use the control options to rewind the game. Start it again. Once you are in the game again, type something else. There will be double the characters in whatever you type. (For example, typing in "Hello" would come out "HHeelllloo".) You can repeat this process as much as you like and the numbers of characters will grow one per each time.

Key:
*'''Cell''' - The Cell (where you start)
*'''Offc''' - The Magistrate's Office
*'''Prcy''' - Where you first meet Percy the rat
*'''Maze''' - The beginning of the maze, and where you find the mop
*'''Ktcn''' - Kitchen
*'''Infm''' - Infirmary
*'''(H)''' - Hongrel
*'''(L)''' - Longrel
*'''(M)''' - Mongrel
*'''(+)''' - Room

== Hints and Tips ==
* When talking to Ripberger, just use "talk ripberger" or "talk magistrate" in lowercase letters. Otherwise, the game may not recognize the command.
* Type "look map" at any time to view the map. note that you must ALREADY have the map before you can look at it.
* When fighting monsters in the maze, use the attack that starts with that monster's name. Therefore...
** Strike Longrels Low
** Strike Hongrels High
** Strike Mongrels Middlin

== Walkthrough ==

{{spoiler}}

At the beginning, "hold breath" (or "nose") and "get tinkle" (or "metal"), which is a key in the chamber pot. Don't forget to BREATHE. Type "breathe" or "release nose" or "unplug nose" or "smell".

"get hay", which turns out to be moldy bread.

"open door" and go "south".

"look at david bowie" (optional).

"use key" to unlock the drawer.

"get map". "look map" to get the maze directions. It disintegrates, so you'll have to write them down.

Go "north" and "talk magistrate".

Go "north", where you'll find a rat with a nametag. "look at nametag" (his name is Percy) and "talk to percy". He'll offer you the plague.

Go "north", and you'll get the plague (this can't be avoided).

"get mop", as you will need it to fight off monsters.

Now follow the directions from the map (you wrote them down, right?). If you'd like, you can stop to "mop" when you see stains (there's a stain in every room of the maze). This is completely optional, and you only earn "experience points" from doing this (which do not add to your point total.)

To kill the monsters use the strike with the same letter as the beginning of the monster's name (eg. "middlin" for Mongrel, "high" for Hongrel, and "low" for Longrel).

When you get to the kitchen, go "eastward" (you can't just type "east" or "e" here) to the infirmary.

"talk to doctor". Say "no" when he asks if you can wait. He'll saw off your plague, give you a sucker, and send you back to the kitchen. Do not talk to the healer, the doctor and the healer are seperate entities.

"look at placard".

"get picture".

"talk to chef". He is really a Dongrel. "use picture" or "use sucker" to make Dongrel drop your mop, then "get mop" and "use mop" (if you never "talk to chef", you can skip straight to "use mop" and avoid losing 1 life).

"take emerald". Percy will show up. "take off loincloth" to kill him.

Note: On some browsers it is impossible to get the emerald, things will happen too fast.

You win and IT'S OVER!!

*The Homestar Runner wiki was mentioned 4-25-05 with the following quote:
<pre>Just wanna give a shoutout to Homestar Runner Wiki for citing all the Homestar
references ever made in Zelda Comic,
Witch's Brew and Aminal Crossing. Well, most of them. *wink*</pre>

===''Witch's Brew'' ===
The origin of the Witch's Brew name came from Homestar's famous Halloween [[Witches' Brew | witch's brew]] line. (Alas, however, the phrase is not spelled correctly in the comic.) Also, in the [http://homepage.mac.com/witchsbrew/brews1-10/brew01.html first] comic, Homestar appears on the last panel, and the [http://homepage.mac.com/witchsbrew/brews1-10/brew03.html third] comic uses the CHILDREN! panel from [[Teen Girl Squad]]. The [http://homepage.mac.com/witchsbrew/brews1-10/brew06.html sixth] comic tells us to not fake the funk on a nasty dunk, one of [[Homsar]]'s quotes from [[interview]].

===''Final Stupidity''===
In the [http://www.jediburger.com/comics/finalstupidity/004.html fourth] comic, "Obligatory Pop Culture Reference," [[Dangeresque too]] makes a small cameo on the last panel. 
The fifth comic's title, "Burninated", is an obvious reference to Trogdor. 
The seventh comic's title, "Got Witch's Brew?" is a reference to Homestar's obsession with witch's brew.

===''Sluggy Freelance'' ===
The weekly filler Meanwhile in the Dimension of Pain shows the demons deathmatching. When Horribus uses the Unholy Hand grenade and the demons are all incinerated, the panel reads "And all was laid to burnination."
[http://sluggy.com/daily.php?date=040501 link]

===''SMAX''===
The ''Top Ten'' spin-off comic ''[http://www.enjolrasworld.com/Jess%20Nevins/Smax/Smax%20index.htm SMAX]'' puts Jaafs Macksun and his partner Toybox in a world of fantasy. There are several references to Lord of the Rings, Star Wars and Homestarrunner.com. A wanted poster for Trogdor is on a pole and the silhouette of Homestar and Pom Pom are seen in town.

===''Roy the Duck''===
*Explore [http://roy.esmilde.com/mathtitle.htm Roy the Duck's math book] to find Homestar Runner and to learn how to count (see page 4 especially).
*The new ''Ye Castle's Final Houre'' [http://roy.esmilde.com/castlebook.htm book] says "...don't throw full glass wine bottles at the screen."
*This should really be under websites, and it also has two references to homestarrunner.com on the [http://roy.esmilde.com/zBay.htm zBay] page. On it Bubs is selling the [[Slightly Shotgunned Compy]]. It also contains a link to [http://homestarrunner.com/amazon.html bookazon.com] which is part of homestarrunner.com
*[http://roy.esmilde.com/palmstatetimes.htm The Palm State Times] on the site contains an article about [[Thorax Corporation]].

===''Universal Voyage'' ===
In comic #2 there are sprites of Strong Bad and Trogdor as a team called "Burninators!"
[http://www.bobandgeorge.com/Fancomics/UVoyage/UV.html?1 link]

===''Aminal Crossing''===
In the [http://zeldacomic.net/archives/ac/?pic=016.png 16th comic], "Were taking this baby to the mooooon!" is a reference to Strong Bad Email [[personal favorites]]

At the bottom of the [http://zeldacomic.net/archives/ac/?pic=018.png 18th comic] you can find the text "Oh, there are two of them." The main character also says "I hate this friggin' town.", a reference to [[Meet Marshie]].

Also, in Episode 22, the main character gets MONKEY SLAM'D!! an unmistakeable TGS reference.

===''Zebra Girl''===
In [http://zebragirl.keenspot.com/images/entry62.jpg this Sandra's Journal! comic], Sandra answers an oddly-familiar reader email in a novel manner.

===''Sore Thumbs''===
A drugged director quotes Strong Bad's "H*R and Marzipan Dating Simulation XR" from Strong Bad Email [[date]]. [http://www.sorethumbsonline.com/comics/st20041220.gif st20041220.gif]

===''Hawkman''===
In the December 2003 issue of DC Comic's Hawkman (page 16 of issue 20, volume 4), an abusive spouse is seen wearing a black teeshirt featuring Strong Bad's face and gloves, and the text "FHGWHGAS." Unfortunately you'll have to pick up an old issue of the comic to see it. Oh well. [[date]]. [http://www.dccomics.com/features/hawkman/]

=== ''Room'' ===
A recent update of this puzzling pixelart webcomic has an appearance of a pixelart Strong Bad and The Cheat. He's looking at a computer, but it doesn't appear to be any of the ones he's owned.
[http://www.aintaer.com/room/room.php?strip=49]

===''The Wotch''===
In the June 24, 2003 comic, Lilly and Jennie are playing with Homestar Runner action figures. In particular they are acting out a scene from [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 3]]. [http://www.thewotch.com/062403.html 062403.html]

===''Natch Evil''===
[http://www.natchevil.com/comic.asp?comicID=109 Comic#109]God mentions getting an email about how he types with boxing gloves on.

===''Dominic Deegan''===
In the September 23, 2002 comic, Strong Bad makes a cameo appearance as one of Dominic's customers in the last panel. [http://www.dominic-deegan.com/d/20020923.html 20020923.html]

===''Under Power''===
In the May 19, 2004 comic, Strong Bad and the Cheat are the DJs in panel 2. [http://underpower.non-essential.com/index.php?comic=20040519]

===''Slackers''===
The title of the [http://www.slackerscomic.com/index.php?strip_id=93 92nd Issue] of ''Slackers'' is "Teen Girl Squad."

===''Questionable Content''===
In comic #265 [http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=265], while Faye and Marten are discussing what will be the next indie rock band to break up, Faye mentions that the head of Win Butler (from The Arcade Fire) will explode during a live performance, forcing them to replace him with a Homestar Runner puppet. Also, in comic #317 Steve is wearing an "Eh Steve!" T-shirt.

In comic #333 [http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=333], Raven wants to be left alone to close the coffee shop. She exclaims, "I can do it! I can totally do it nine times!" This is a referance to The Cheat's crazy cartoon in [[crazy cartoon]], where it is said by Strong Bad.

===''El Goonish Shive''===
In a filler comic posted on February 3, 2005, an alien character named Minion shows up to answer reader e-mails, telling the readers to just call him "Strong Minion." [http://www.elgoonishshive.com/Filler/d/20050203.html]

===''PvP''===
On the [http://www.pvponline.com/archive.php3?archive=20030911 Sept. 11, 2003] comic, Francis is forced to write an apology letter and notes that he is sorry, even if the individuals he's apologizing to give him the jibblies

Kvb: ±9 or normal 9?

X = 9 - M.J

Yup. And you have 3 mans.--[[User:Tiggera|Tiggera]] 17:38, 28 Nov 2004 (MST)

Why does the article say 'If solved, X equals ±9.'? Isn't is exactly 9? [[User:Kvb|Kvb]] 16:10, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)

== False Claims ==

The claim that x = 14 is the only solution making logx14 an integer is extremely false and I don't know why people insist on keeping that version of the article. Check it out, find a good calculator that can evaluate logb(n)14 for b(n) = 141/n for any integer non-zero integer n. In fact, (141/n)n = 14n/n = 141 = 14 which tells us that logb(n)14 = n for b(n) = 141/n.

x=14 is the only integer value of x that yields an integer result. No one said x had to be an integer -- [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 14:44, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)

You don't even need a calculator to verify. The log of a number is the power to which the base much be raised to equal the number. If n=2, the base b(n) is the square root of 14. The power to which *that* number much be raised to equal 14 is 2. The same applies for all integer values of n. -- [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 14:45, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Exactly what was said above. Thanks for leaving something resembling this in the article.

Teen Girl Squad

Kvb — Wed, 08 Jun 2005 20:03:15 GMT

Kvb: Incorrect!

[[Image:tgsmenu.png|thumb|Teen Girl Squad menu]]
[[Image:teengirlsquad.png|thumb|The girls are looking SO GOOD!]]

In the [[Strong Bad Email]] "[[comic]]," a girl named Brittany asked if [[Strong Bad]] could make a comic strip about her four friends Virginia, Joy, Kristin, and Jennifer. Strong Bad's spur of the moment comic strip soon became a series. Teen Girl Squad centers on four eighth grade teenage girls—[[Cheerleader]], [[So and So]], [[What's Her Face]], and [[The Ugly One]]—who like to buy clothes and attract cute boys and look SO GOOD! Unfortunately, they are all-too-often subjected to the random dangers of Strong Bad's overactive imagination. But being killed doesn't seem to be a problem for the girls, for they are always back for the next episode.

'''Menu Page Title:''' T33n G1rl Squ4dx0rx!!11
== Issues ==
:[[Teen Girl Squad Issue 1|Issue 1]] (from [[comic]])
:[[Teen Girl Squad Issue 2|Issue 2]]
:[[Teen Girl Squad Issue 3|Issue 3]]
:[[Teen Girl Squad Issue 4|Issue 4]]
:[[Teen Girl Squad Issue 5|Issue 5]]

:[[Teen Girl Squad Issue 7|Issue 7]]
:[[Teen Girl Squad Issue 8|Issue 8]]
:[[HomestarRunner.com PAY PLUS!#Teen Girl Squad Sample|Issue 8½]] (from [[HomestarRunner.com PAY PLUS!]])
==Other Appearances==
:[[404'd]]

== Fun Facts ==
*If you hold your cursor over the Teen Girl Squad button on the [[Toons Menu]], you get a different description of each girl:
**Cheerleader: Hair products!
**So and So: Plaid skirt!
**What's Her Face: Baggy clothes!
**The Ugly One: Drill team!

*Each time you load the Teen Girl Squad menu page you get a different quote from a different girl. They are:
**The Ugly One: "teacher just called me 'young man'"
**The Ugly One: "i'm in love with liquid paper."
**What's Her Face: "nothing is cool."
**So and So: "on a roll with Honor Roll"
**Cheerleader: "you can't be popular AND smart"
**Cheerleader: "lets have a boy/girl party!"
**All except Cheerleader: "SO GOOD!"

*In addition to the different quotes, Cheerleader wears a different shirt each time you load the menu page. They are:
**"solid gold"
**"party thyme"
**"hott type"
**"rich grrl"
**"2 cool 4 u"
**"boy monger" (with :P face)
**"2 cute"
*The seven in the main menu is a European seven.
** This is because Ahnberg Hand, the [[Fonts|font]] used for Strong Bad's handwriting, contains a few european-style slashes, including lowercase 'q' which TBC have been known to "americanize".

Kvb: /* THE DANCING CHEAT */

YES! All the big toons are done now! It's lookin' more like a Hrwiki every day, huh!?! -- [[User:AgentSeethroo|AgentSeethroo]] 13:49, 6 Aug 2004 (MST)

:Great job! -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 14:03, 6 Aug 2004 (MST)

New question...Do we further break down categories? Like toons/big toons and toons/shorts, toons/powered by the cheat etc, etc, etc? Is this possible, or should they all be lumped together under the blanket "Toons" category? -- [[User:AgentSeethroo|AgentSeethroo]] 21:19, 6 Aug 2004 (MST)

:Yeah, I suppose we could. Have everything in the "Toons" category, and then the ones in the puppet listing could go in the puppets category, and the ones in the powered by The Cheat category could go in that category, and so forth. -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 09:00, 7 Aug 2004 (MST)

::what would the code for that look like? -- [[User:AgentSeethroo|AgentSeethroo]] 12:21, 7 Aug 2004 (MST)

:::You'd just add it to more than one category. Like <nowiki>[[Category:Toons]] [[Category:Powered by The Cheat]]</nowiki> and so forth. The pages would then show up in both categories. -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 14:14, 7 Aug 2004 (MST)

== Experimental Film ==
Should [[Experimental Film]] go under PbtC as well, or does it violate Once And Only Once? I think it should go under the Powered by the Cheat category (btw, how do you link to a category page), but what about the list on this page? -- [[User:InterruptorJones|InterruptorJones]] 08:57, 23 Aug 2004 (MST)

:I don't think having something in more that one category would violate [[HRWiki:Once And Only Once|Once And Only Once]]. But is it categorized like that on the Toons menu on h*r.com? And I think when ever you link to a category page (<nowiki>[[Category:Toons]]</nowiki>), that page you linked to it from is put into that category. -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 09:15, 23 Aug 2004 (MST)

this and all others are for some reason, long. even the 56 second ones

== Static Fun Fact ==

Uh... I see no profile shot of a man in the "static" easter egg. Anyone want to direct me towards it or upload a picture? -- [[User:FireBird|FireBird]]|[[User Talk:FireBird|Talk]] 01:28, 18 Nov 2004 )UTC)

I don't see it either. Methinks someone was cloud watching and this is an image known only to them. Not that there's anything wrong with that, but perhaps it doesn't belong in the easter eggs. :) --[[User:Southpaw018|Southpaw018]] 18:41, 17 Nov 2004 (MST)

== Questions ==
This is like, the dumbest question ever. How do the bros chaps make the toons? --[[User:24.136.225.226|24.136.225.226]] 23:16, 18 Feb 2005 (UTC)

:[http://www.homestarrunner.com/faq.html] --[[User:Shadow Hog|Shadow Hog]] 16:20, 18 Feb 2005 (MST)

== New Cat idea ==

Should we make a maintainence category for toons that have a lot of fun facts that aren't split up? →[[User:evin290|evin290]] 19:01, 25 Feb 2005 (MST)

Great idea! I'm in. --[[User:65.87.191.30|65.87.191.30]] 18:51, 1 Mar 2005 (MST) __NOTOC__

==No Picture?==

Just a quick question, why is there no picture for the Toons page anymore? Does it have to do with modem users? --[[User:Homsar999|Homsar999]][[User_talk:Homsar999|ß]] 17:33, 1 May 2005 (CDT)

:maybe it should have one of those little background pictures.

== The Joy of Painting ==

Dear HrWiki,
While examining the toons menu, i looked at the small DVD's in the left-hand corner of the page. Now, I dunno if you have already recognised this, but it seems that if you roll your mouse over the "Joy of Painting" DVD all the way to the right, you can see Marzipan silently painting. It goes on for hours. There's really not much you can do.
404'd!

*Yeah, that's already noted over [[Toons Menu|har]]. [[User:Kvb|Kvb]] 18:57, 5 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Kvb: Double mention'd!

[[Image:main22.PNG|thumb|right|220px|Drop a train on 'em!]]

Main Page featuring [[virus]] Homestar, The Virus, and glitches abound.

'''Cast (in order of appearance):''' [[Homestar Runner]], [[The Virus]], [[Bad Graphics Ghost]], [[Old Man]], [[Biscuit Dough Hands Man]], [[Strong Bad]], [[Bubs]], [[Monte Negro]]

'''Place:''' [[Computer Room]]

'''Icon:''' Edgar

'''Page title:''' "Drop a train on em!"

'''Date:''' December 5, 2004

==Button Effects==
*'''Toons''' — The museum button falls down to the bottom of the screen and takes out some words on the navbar. Mousing over a second time returns it to its normal location.
*'''Games''' — The right side of the table turns black and has a red wireframe grid on it, while the [[No Loafing Sign|No Loafing sign]] turns into HTML code. Part of [[Peasant's Quest]] becomes visible on the right side of the screen, and we can see the lake with the old man fishing. Mousing over a second time returns things back to normal.
*'''Characters''' — Homestar speaks in the loud, distorted noise that Marzipan had in the email [[virus]] (possibly a clip from the song "Satisfaction" by Benny Benassi) and the computer on the desk changes to one of several other computers (accompanied by the relevant version of disk media, except with the [[Pom Pilot]]).
*'''Downloads''' — [[Homestar Runner]]'s head switches to the old drawing style, and several popups appear on screen saying "Click here to WIN an e-Vacation!!" and "Make millions doing nothing!!" with [[Biscuit Dough Hands Man]] saying [[fhqwhgads]] (in [[Visor Robot]]'s voice) on "Make millions doing nothing!!", along with Cory from the [[That a Ghost]] toon, and [[Monte Negro]] on "Click here to WIN an e-Vacation!!". The sandwich from [[Main Page 5]] appears with a voice similar to [[Coach Z]]'s voice saying, "Quarter cheese plate scattered-smothered-covered," and eventually the startup screen for [[Edgarware|Edgar the Virus Hunter]] covers the whole screen. Bubs (in his [[Powered by the Cheat]] style from [[mile]]) gets superimposed intermittently over Edgar's face and says, "Some of my buses."
*'''Store''' — Homestar says "All right!" instead of "Store!", and his head floats to the right and into the black. Also, the "Store" button stretches out horizontally a little more each time you hover over it. It will stretch twenty-one times, and will revert to its original size on the twenty-second, but it will only change size when you hover over the normal-sized icon.
*'''Email''' — Homestar's head returns to its oldschool drawing style again, and a very misshapen Strong Bad with Marzipan's ponytail appears in the black to the left and says, "Things were just about to start getting crazy-go-nuts!" A duck from [[Duck Guardian]] appears in the lower right in the black and explodes, revealing some HTML code, and another duck appears over Strong Bad's mouth and explodes.

== Fun Facts ==
===Trivia===
*Like the [[Strong Bad Email]] on which the page is based (virus), the navbar is in the same flash file as the page itself.
*The main link at the bottom always leads to [[Main Page 1]].
*The Store button does not change colors when hovered over. This is the only instance of this on any main page, aside from [[Main Page 15]]'s E-Mail button.
*You can click on the museum link after it falls, but not the links it crushes.
*There is a Shotgunned Compy in the background, yet if it had been shot, it would seem to suggest that the viruses would be gone.
*You can never be directly linked to this page, you must manually click on the 22 in the Main Page selector.
===Remarks===
*In order, the computers you can get from the Characters button are as follows (starting with the Shotgunned Compy 386):
**[[Tandy 400]] with [[Bad Graphics Homestar]] from [[butt IQ]] and 5.25" floppy container
**[[Tangerine Dreams]] with the [[crazy cartoon]] cartoon and CD-R spindle
**[[Compy 386]] with System Report (from [[50 emails]], [[The System Is Down]], and [[Not the 100th Email!!!]]) taped to the screen and 3.5" floppy container
**Broken Tandy 400 with [[Bad Graphics Ghost]] and 5.25" floppy container
**[[Pom Pilot]] (alone)
**[[Lappy 486]] with 3.5" floppy container
*The floppy disk in the [[Floppy Disk Container]] says "Oregon Trail 2" for the Broken Compy, Compy with system report, and The Lappy. For both of the Tandys, it says "Oregon Trail". There are no labels on the CDs next to [[Tangerine Dreams|The Cheat's computer]].
*Each button has a different font and/or style.
**The Toons button has the regular button font.
**The Games button has the navbar button font. If you view the Flash file and zoom in, you'll see the Games text seem to change to bold. This is because the text isn't embedded into the Flash file, but rather being read from your computer. To put it simply, zoomed out it's a 12 point font, but zoomed in, it's 72. It also changes font type when clicked.
**The Characters button has the "Last Updated" font from the upper-right corner of the main page. The word "Characters" turns yellow when hovered above and it also changes green when clicked.
**The Store button has the font from the "Latest Updates" buttons. Also, when it is clicked, only the word moves downwards, not the button.
**The Downloads and E-mail buttons are the older-style buttons from [http://homestarrunner.com/main6x.swf Old Main Page 6], [[Luau Main Page]], and [[Main Page 10]]. These have a plain, solid-colored background unlike the newer style with shaded button backgrounds.
*The HTML Code revealed when the duck from Duck Guardian explodes is "<html stuff><body><href>combledon".

===Glitches===
*The Quote of the Week, Sketchbook, and Fan Stuff boxes appear slightly to the left of where they usually are, just like on the [[Strong Bad's Room Main Page]].
**This is because the menu has some black space on both sides, altering where the boxes are supposed to anchor themselves.
**This glitch also pops up on the [[Strong Bad's Room Main Page]] for the same reasons.
***Because of this glitch, you can see a quirky thing happen when you click the quote of the week button. For a Split second you will be able to see Homestar's face and a short blurb saying "Oh Haldo! This is my funniest word style ever times that I've said! Hope all is on to it even more lately! And I wish the chicken & msg place was open on Somedays."
****A previous version of the Quote of the Day page read "Oh Hello! This is my funniest word style ever that I said! Hope you're into it!". It was changed sometime in mid-April 2005, probably the 15th (the date reported in the "Last-Modified" HTTP header for qod.swf). The reason for the change is as yet unknown.
*When Peasant's Quest appears, you can still click on the covered "First Time Here" link and the hidden area of the What's New button.
*There is a sound glitch in the characters button. If you repeatedly play the glitched sound by hovering over 'Characters', all the sound in the file will stop for a few seconds.
*If you roll over the Store button several times, to make it grow, then roll over the Downloads button, you can still see the left edge of the Store button when Edgar pops up.

===Inside References===
*Strong Bad's line "Things were just about to start getting [[Crazy Go Nuts University|crazy-go-nuts]]!" is from the toon [[The Luau]].
*"Drop a train on 'em!" is what [[Strong Bad]] said when he ran [[Edgarware]] in [[virus]].
*The "fhqwhgads" sound clip is from [[Everybody to the Limit]].
* When Bubs says 'some of my buses', this is a reference to [[Strong Bad Email]] #87, [[mile]].
*Homestar's quip of "All right!" is taken from the [[Homestar Talker]].
*Homestar's head turning backwards when going out of the screen may refer to [[Main Page 10]].

'''Cheerleader''' is the leader (and most popular) of the [[Teen Girl Squad]]. All she thinks about is fashion and boys. She tried to ask the [[Quarterback]] out in [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 4]], but got CEREBELLUM'D. [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 5]], when she yelled at the boys about thinking she was the same age as [[So and So]], she got SAILING MISHAP'D! She was the sole survivor of the [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 1|first issue]]. She was nearly the sole survivor of [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 8]], but was apparently eaten "off camera" by [[Minor Teen Girl Squad Characters#A Shark|the shark]] at the end of the toon. Her real name is either Virginia, Joy, or Jennifer. She seems to like text shirts.

Ironically, her pre-K counterpart in "Teeny Tiny Girl Squad" was the foodaholic "Fattycakes" because she eats lots and lots of chocolate bars. Her very own was "dipped in salt" (read: dropped in the sandbox).

She apparently has a crush on [[Eh! Steve]], as referenced in [[HomestarRunner.com PAY PLUS!]].

Talk:Stinkoman 20X6

Kvb — Sun, 05 Jun 2005 12:35:59 GMT

Kvb: It is.

==ZSNES Project==
Would anyone be willing to convert Stinkoman 20X6 to an SMC file? I'm aware this would be a LOT of work to turn a flash game into a working SNES ROM, but it would be cool to play this on an SNES emulator and avoid some of the flash bugs (and frame lag).

==New Flash File==
[[HR:stinkogame/v3/stinkogame.swf|Clicky]]

Don't work. -Neverending Soda

:Your powers of perception astound me. I'm glad someone noticed, or everyone would be confused, thinking it worked, but not seeing the game. Perhaps you could use those powers of perception to see that this is an old post, and then see that it says "v3" in the url, but according to the [[Stinkoman 20X6#External Links|article]] it's up to v4 now. {{User:phlip/sig}} 12:31, 5 Jun 2005 (UTC)

==Extremely Slow Frame Rate==
Hi, I'm having a problem on all of the computers (3) in my house when trying to play this great game. Whenever I do anything that causes the level to scroll, the frame rate drops unbelievably low and everything becomes very slow and draggy. At the very beginning of Level 1.1 I don't have this problem for the first 2 seconds of playing (before I move far enough to make the scenery follow), and then when I come to a complete halt I can jump again without it slowing down. Anyone have a remedy for this, or are my computers just crappy?

:I have the same problem. —<tt>[[User:woddfellow2|woddfellow2]]|[[User talk:woddfellow2|✎</tt>]] 19:53, 4 May 2005 (UTC)

:I'm not convinced that this isn't intentional. It's very likely that the Brother's Chaps were trying to mimic the NES's inability to quickly draw frames. It's already obvious that this is a Mega Man clone. Maybe they're pushing it further than that. --[[User:NFITC1|NFITC1]]

:I've also had a slow frame rate when walking, but it's not that bad, is it? If it is, then yes, your computer is crappy. [[User:Kvb|Kvb]] 19:30, 24 May 2005 (UTC)

: *sigh* No, your computer isn't crappy, they ALL do that. It's not an imitation either, Flash is actually that slow. Also when the meteors crash, they aren't emulating anything! Flash is just that slow!

::How do I fix it? —<tt>[[User:woddfellow2|woddfellow2]]|[[User talk:woddfellow2|✎</tt>]] 01:31, 4 Jun 2005 (UTC)

==Fixing spelling==
I fixed a couple of spelling errors: "parodys" > "parodies", and changed "cinema" to "cinematic". Just so you guys know I wasn't fixing the transcripted stuff. - MHG

== Where did it go? ==
It is gone... it dissapeared...

What??

== Can I be the first to say "COOL!" ==

TBC have really done it this time! Great music, title screen, but now on the Fanstuf wiki we need to call him 1-up, not Kidstar. sigh... - [[User:Ooy|Futuramaooy]]

==Like Zero Wing in 2 Ways==
This game reminds me of Zero Wing in two ways.
1. Translating errors (fake in this game, obviously)
2. Long levels with no check points. I can't get past the first level in either game. Every time you die, no matter how far you are in the level, you go back to the beginning. And you can't save in the middle either. --[[User:152.163.101.8|152.163.101.8]] 14:59, 21 Mar 2005 (MST)

Actually, in Zerowing when you die, it'll bring you to a midpoint, if you've gotten that far. I've beaten the entire game so I should know. =P --nickshorts

==Man, this is ''hard''!==
Holy Crap! This game is so hard (to me) it blows my mind! Tough jumps, no checkpoints, the works! I can't even beat level 1.2! Arrrrgh! ...Whew. Glad I got that outta my system. On a lighter note, this is a great game, if not a bit hard. -[[User:acekirby13|acekirby13]]
*Don't feel bad, AceKirby. I can't even get past level 1.1! [[User:Fizz123|Fizz123]]
**Whew, that makes me feel better man. I needed some serious clown care there for a second. But I ''did'' end up beating the game, which was great. --[[User:acekirby13|acekirby13]] 20:00, 26 Apr 2005 (UTC)
*It's not as hard as you think. I suck garbage (expletive deleted) at video games, but I can do levels 1.1-3.3 jut fine. 4.1 I can't get past, but i'm getting closer.
**Dear whoever, this was written mighty long ago, and I have since then beaten levels 1.1-5.1. I just can't beat level 5.2 now! I want to fight Nebulon! ARRRRRRRGHBLBLBLBL!!! --[[User:acekirby13|acekirby13]]|[[User talk:acekirby13|My Talk]] 20:26, 10 May 2005 (UTC)
Dude, I can defeat Nebulon like cake, man. I wrote the walkthroughs for level 5 (except for the cutscenes, boss and part of level 5.2) I still can't get past anything on level 4 because if I press a button too long it gets stuck in running position. [[User:Amy Whifflepoof|Amy Whifflepoof]]
:Whoa- you missed my point. I haven't even fought Nebulon. I can't get by the point where there is like 4 Downtants in a row. They always deplete my health fast! --[[User:acekirby13|acekirby13]]|[[User talk:acekirby13|My Talk]] 23:48, 16 May 2005 (UTC)
Okay, I just want to start with, HELLO! This is a stinkon' easy game when you practice, by learning timing from experience or taking altrnative routes. (these will help on level 6. It took me a while until I beat the mouse.)-Amy Whifflepoof, not signed in.
By the way acekirby(whoever you are). I can beat 5.2 easily. All you have to do is stand on the edge and make sure NOTHING is under one foot. Then, to avoid Downtant fire, simply jump. Actually, the truth is, I can beat it easily because my lappy is extremely slow and old. [[User:Maestro|Maestro]].

Why would you want to fight Nebulon? Nobody likes his style. -Neverending Soda

I hope you finally got there acekirby, because that cloud level is ''WAY'' harder! [[User:Kvb|Kvb]] 12:35, 5 Jun 2005 (UTC)

==Difficultly fun==
This game is hard, but I found it fun. I guess I'm good a video games or something, because although I was challenged, I beat the whole game in under an hour. Can't wait for more levels. --[[User:Joshua|Joshua]] 15:46, 21 Mar 2005 (MST)
:Indeed... more levels seem an inevitability (why else do they have scroll buttons in the "CONTINUTE" menu?). As for the difficulty... well, let's just say it reflects the ''Mega Man'' series in more ways than one. ;) --[[User:Shadow Hog|Shadow Hog]] 16:16, 21 Mar 2005 (MST)

:::I dunno...the continute menu scroll buttons could be there just to mislead you. If so, I wouldn't be surprised. --[[User:Ogog|Ogog]]

==BEAT THAT!==
I beat the whole game (Stage 1.1 to 3.3) in 19 minutes without a single game over. Can anyone beat that? (I did lose two lives though) --[[User:Joshua|Joshua]]

I did, and I only lost one life. I think it took me about 23 minutes, though.[[User:Ekul|The Marauding Maniac]]

My best with one life lost on the last boss:

00:00 start 
01:23 end level 1.1 
02:52 end level 1.2 
03:29 end level 1 boss 
05:45 end level 2.1 
08:09 end level 2.2 
09:41 end level 2 boss 
10:52 end level 3.1 
11:30 end level 3.2 
12:04 end level 3 boss 
14:34 end level 4.1 
17:12 end level 4.2 
19:59 end level 4 boss 
22:05 end level 5.1 
24:31 end level 5.2 
27:23 end level 5 boss (1 life lost here) 

I beat 1.1-3.3 in 21 minutes, losing 0 lives. --[[User:Gooblies|Gooblies]] 01:45, 13 May 2005 (UTC)

I can do 1.1-3.3 in a few minutes with no lives lost!-Amy whifflepoof

You guys have way too much free time. I can beat Level 1-1 In 10 mins and lose 2 lives!! --[[User:kerrek slaya|kerrek slaya]] 21:04, 15 May 2005 (UTC)

I timed 139 measures of music in 5.2 a minute ago. I can't say how that compares with your score since I timed it in measures of music, not seconds. (I and noticed that I shaved about 3 measures of music taking the bottom path when the top has the huge conveyor belt, even when jumping against the belt and taking a shortcut to the bottom, and even though the bottom path has a short wait time to get the stupid platform within jumping distance. Less fall time, no ladders. I also took the bottom path when it split into four tiers - less fall time, and there's a forward-moving conveyor belt that doesn't lead to a spike along the way.) --{{User:Jay/sig}} 08:03, 26 May 2005 (UTC)
:I cut it down to 2:02! And this time I made a bunch of silly mistakes I didn't make the first! How? Well, I played it in .swf mode and made the screen small (but still big enough that I could see it all!) Scrolling the screen in full-size mode seems to create some minor slowdown (for me), so removing that slowdown severely cut my time (I technically was still counting measures of music (116) and just did the math from there. The music's speed didn't seem to be affected no matter what I did.) --{{User:Jay/sig}} 08:54, 26 May 2005 (UTC)

== Am I the only one... ==

...who can't get the plain .SWF working? I can play the game (beat it not too long ago, good game, can't wait for the expansion packs-of-sorts), but only using the standard link. I can't play it online or offline using just the .SWF file. Firefox stays perpetually on "Load it up". IE6 gets farther than that, as it goes to a black screen after that and never gets out. So... anyone else? --[[User:Shadow Hog|Shadow Hog]] 19:26, 21 Mar 2005 (MST)
:I couldn't get the .swf file loading on my computer. It would just stay a blank black screen. The regular game worked fine, though. --[[User:Joshua|Joshua]] 20:15, 21 Mar 2005 (MST)
It's working for me in IE, but in Firefox it just stays on the loading screen. edit: actually, offline it doesn't work on either. --[[User:Dark Grapefruit|DG]] 11:31, 22 Mar 2005 (MST)
I think I know why it won't work offline: The game is so big it depends on multiple files to play, like the object library. I've been trying to find out names for single levels. So far, no luck. [[User:unknown|unknown]]
:Read the topic in this page with "XML" as its header. It has links to all the levels (save 4.x). Just slap 'em in a folder called "levelData" in the same directory as the game itself, and it SHOULD work. --[[User:Shadow Hog|Shadow Hog]] 22:33, 1 May 2005 (UTC)

==Is the game meant to...==
Drop you into a giant hole at the beginning of Level 1.1? The game loads up, but as soon as I click play game, I get dropped into a pit until I die 3 times. Any ideas, or is it whatever glitched up [[virus]] for me? --[[User:Venusy|Venusy]] 02:36, 22 Mar 2005
:I hear on Fark that it depends on your browser. Try switching to another. [[User:The Lyrical Wondermind|The Lyrical Wondermind]] 19:39, 21 Mar 2005 (MST)

:::I had the same problem, except for me the bug happened in Opera but it worked in IE. --JZ
:Found the problem (for me at least), in Version 1.1, there's a little notice saying "Flash 7 Required". I only have Flash 6. I wonder why TBC didn't go for the full screen message, a la [[Duck Guardian]]. --[[User:Venusy|Venusy]] 06:30, 22 Mar 2005
::Well, that's probably what your problem is indeed... but specifically, I'm guessing the game isn't loading the XML files from the leveldata folder, hence nothing happens. --[[User:Shadow Hog|Shadow Hog]] 09:35, 23 Mar 2005 (MST)

==Music==
If anyone could find the game's music files, I'd be much obliged. That was my favorite part. [[User:The Lyrical Wondermind|The Lyrical Wondermind]] 19:47, 21 Mar 2005 (MST)

Same here, I was listening to it whilst working on assignments, but I found that if you open up the game and start, leave it for about half an hour without doing anything, the music just stops and doesn't come back unless you lose a life. [[User:M.J|M.J]]

The first level's music is top-notch if extremely Sonic. Not as good as Duck Guardian, mind.

:Actually, it strikes me as much more like - surprise! - ''Mega Man'' tunes, particularly the opening stage of ''MMVII''. --[[User:Shadow Hog|Shadow Hog]] 09:32, 23 Mar 2005 (MST)

::Yeah... Both of those tunes are awesome, and I was listening to a MM7 midi file right before I played it. I thought, "Hey, that's MM music!" --[[User:thatkidsam|thatkidsam]] 15:35, 27 Mar 2005 (MST)

I'm pretty sure online Flash games don't have "music files" It's been my experience that Flash usually packs all its resources (sound, bmps) into the final SWF.
*Oh, well. Maybe they'll add it to [http://videlectrix.com/videlectrix_music.html Videlectrix Music] soon. [[User:The Lyrical Wondermind|The Lyrical Wondermind]] 11:07, 23 Mar 2005 (MST)
::[http://www.vgmusic.com/new-files/ VGMusic] has some MIDIs in their New Files section, FYI. --[[User:Shadow Hog|Shadow Hog]] 13:06, 26 Mar 2005 (MST)

*Holy crap, they added to Videlectrix.

== NYU Demo ==

At the [[NYU Talk - 1 Mar 2005]] they showed an awesome demo to this, and as I recall, I think the sporks from 2.2 were originally in 1.1 and 1.2. The first two levels that TBC made were 1.1 and 3.1.--[[User:Homeschool Winner|Homeschool Winner]] 21:28, 22 Mar 2005 (MST)

== JoyToKey (This is a little OT) ==

Anyone with a joypad needs to download [http://hp.vector.co.jp/authors/VA016823/joytokey/english.html JoyToKey]. It's especially important for this game; really adds to the feel. Total, man. --[[User:70.25.9.49|70.25.9.49]] 23:00, 21 Mar 2005 (MST)

== Capsules ==

*The health-restoring pills are a reference to the Strong Bad E-Mail time capsule.
** They are also a reference to the Scrolling Shooter Games Menu, where you can get similar capsules to change your ship.

Tons of games have capsules and it's doubtful this is an inside reference. Didn't the original Megaman hae capsules? Granted they looked different, but I don't think this is a reference to [[time capsule]], and I think it's a coincidence that the games menu also has capsules. What's next, someone chimes in with "It may be a reference to Dr. Mario"? Sorry, I'm over-analytical so I'll keep it since others may not agree with me on this. If anyone else does though, maybe we should take this to [[STUFF]]. --[[User:70.25.9.49|70.25.9.49]] 23:07, 21 Mar 2005 (MST)

*** The NES Mega Man games had no such things... I don't think it's a Dr. Mario reference either, considering the Doc isn't too "retro". I think it's more likely a "time capsule" reference...

:Although I'm not sure about the games menu reference anymore, I do believe it's a reference to time capsule because:
*They are identical looking
*In time capsule, the pill gave him an energy boost.

I'm pretty confident that it's a [[time capsule]] reference myself. It DOES look exactly the same, and Stinkoman interacted with that capsule too. Don't name individual video games, though. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 08:13, 26 May 2005 (UTC)

== About the Gas stoves... ==

What's the big deal? I feel that Homestar Runner's world is on a different plane of reality. It obviouslty is, but in saying on the official Wiki page that gas stoves are supposed to be obsolete by 20X6? What is 20X6? 2016? Gas is most likely to run out in 2025 in OUR world. In Homestar's world, there may be abundant reserves of oil. Have you ever seen anyone drive a car(for real) in Free Country, USA? They may well use mainly solar power. Any oil lamps in Free Country? well, I just thought it necessary to comment. Thanks for reading it.

--[[User:geoguy91|geoguy91]] 00:43, 22 Mar 2005 (MST)

== CONTINUTE? ==

Early on I added a comment about the CONTINUTE item in the main menu being misspelled possibly intentionally, but it was removed in the revision http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Stinkoman_20X6&diff=56256&oldid=56255. This still exists in Version 1.1. I guess this item was removed because it was too obvious, given that the poor translation is already specified? Just wondering.

== this and peasant's quest. ==

in peasant's quest, it seems the cookies expire after you close your browser window.

is there a way to tweak the cookie to not die, or is it supposed to keep active and i just need to adjust cookie settings?

*Must be your browser settings. Works fine for me. --JZ

*Not really. On my computer, I can save a Peasant's Quest game for months, no matter how screwy it really is. [[User:Amy Whifflepoof|Amy Whifflepoof]] 15:36, 16 May 2005 (UTC)

== Continute not working? ==

I got all the way to level 2.2 before I got a Game Over, but the continute button wouldn't work. Is there a problem wth my browser, or maybe a new version of Flash Player I need to get?

I've had the same problem. Anyone know why the continue function isn't working?

"Continue" remains greyed-out for me as well. My browser's set to accept all cookies from homestarrunner.com, and I can't see anything in my Flash prefs about denying local storage (it's set to allow homestarrunner.com to store 100K of data currently). For reference, I'm running this on Linux, Mozilla 1.7.5, and Flash 7.0.25. [[User:sekhmet|sekhmet]] 14:05, 23 Mar 2005 (MST)

* Ah, seems that v1.3 has fixed the problems. My system is now allowing me to access the continue menu. [[User:sekhmet|sekhmet]] 12:52, 24 Mar 2005 (MST)

' Happened to me too. My guess is the versoin change from 1.0 to 1.1 --[[User:70.25.9.49|70.25.9.49]] 16:14, 23 Mar 2005 (MST)

Here's a key point: The continute button only becomes available after you've beaten the game regularly. That had me thrown off for a while...until I beat it!

*Seems to be fixed in v1.3.
** Indeed it does. Works for me now. [[User:sekhmet|sekhmet]] 12:52, 24 Mar 2005 (MST)

== Glitch ==

[[Image:stinkoman-glitch.png|thumb|220px|Stinkoman stand on air!]]
I found a little glitch in the game, just wanted to share :)
It's in Level 1.1, you'll probably recognize the spot. I'm guessing the box for the ledge on the right side passes through the wall.
*Looks like it. I've noticed that before. Looks pretty funny actually.
*Well, its because stinkoman is actually standing on the land on the other side because on these games you can stand with one pixel of the shoe on the land and the rest in the air. Try it on other lands.

*Hey, the game is now apparently v1.2 I think this glitch has been fixed.
::Nope, it's still there. I don't think they'll bother fixing it, it doesn't make any real difference IMO.
*This is so stupid! I got all the way to level 2.2, and got stuck in that place you can't escape (I never died out), so I refreshed the page, and I looked at the continue button, only to find it didn't work! I am so fed up with this! Someone better find some way to fix this, 'cause I'm not playiong through all that again! Stinkoman moves way too slow to have to go through that excruciatingly tempoed sidescrolling nightmare again! Can someone please fix this, or find a solution, that doesn't make you have to play the game all over again? Much thanks in advance.
**You must have a slow computer, no name. The game isn't really as annoying on fast ones, where it goes smooth. Anyway, I have no idea what place you are talking about. I don't know any traps in level 2.2. (Maybe you should look at the [[Stinkoman 20X6 Walkthrough|walkthrough]]?)--[[User:Joshua|Joshua]] 20:07, 29 Mar 2005 (MST)
** I'd fix it, but I don't have the flash or the website, soooo... That's weird

== Stinkomanual? ==

Am I the only one who can't find this, whatever it is?--[[User:Lord Pikachon|Lord Pikachon]]

* It should be a link right under the controls button at the start menu?

== XML ==

Did anyone notice that you can download and edit the XML files to create new levels? This could be good for the Fanstuff Wiki, if anyone gets it working. --[[User:Ed smildE|EDSMILDE]]

- Care to share where they are? :) --[[User:AndrewNeo|AndrewNeo]] 18:05, 22 Mar 2005 (MST)

Well, I think you have to edit the flash file to get them to work offline first (which is not too hard). They are at:

[http://homestarrunner.com/stinkogame/levelData/level1.1.1.xml]
[http://homestarrunner.com/stinkogame/levelData/level1.1.2.xml]

[http://homestarrunner.com/stinkogame/stinkogame.swf]

Those are the ones I found in my temp folder (even though I didn't get to those levels). If you go to ''View'' -> ''Page Source'' in Firefox, you can kinda figure out how it works (maybe). --[[User:Ed smildE|EDSMILDE]]
''Edit: Darn, the links don't work. They are in some other folder. Once I figure out the folder name, the game will work offline. And they don't show up on Google yet.''

Ooh - found it - They're in another folder called "levelData."
[[User:Ed smildE|EDSMILDE]]

-As a note for other people wanting to edit, you need to get the 5 level files, the main swf, and the object library: [http://homestarrunner.com/stinkogame/objectLibrary.swf]. (You can see some game graphics if you view that file)

It's a pretty simple almost-XML format, I'm making a level editor for it now.

==Filmography?==
I've been wondering, does this count as an appearance in Stinkoman Filmography, or do games not count? --[[User:Venusy|Venusy]] 20:57, 23 Mar 2005 (GMT)
*On this site, I'm sure there'd be no way to stop people from saying so. However; I in all due respects, say if it's a FILMography, it's for FILMS. Go see if there's some kind of GAME-ograpgy if you want to count that!
**IMDB lists video games in filmographies. --JZ

== Save file ==

Does anyone know the name of the file which holds the save data for the game? I have downloaded all the other necessary files but I want to have a save file in there so I don't have to play through all the levels again (Yes, I have beaten the first 3.)

On XP it's the C:\Documents and Settings\<USERNAME>\Application Data\Macromedia\Flash Player\#SharedObjects\<randomID>\www.homestarrunner.com\stinkogame\stinkogame.swf\stinkoman.sol file.
I haven't checked, but I imagine on 9x/ME it's in the C:\Windows\Application Data\... folder.
No idea on other OSes. [[User:Travis Wells|Travis Wells]]

== <s>Level 3.1</s> Level 3.2 -- HOW!? ==

How do you beat level 3.1? Do you have to collect some fixed amount of gold or wait a certan amount of time? I can't beat it!
:Collect 20 pieces of gold from the rain drops. I believe it tells you that when you start the level. --[[User:Shadow Hog|Shadow Hog]] 09:22, 24 Mar 2005 (MST)
::Oops, I didn't read that. Well I got to 3.2, but now I can't get more than 4. Every freakin' piece of bread is surrounded by like 50 other things. Plus, there's one piece every like 50 screens.
:::You have to collect 10 pieces of bread, and each bad item deletes a bread you got. That's really all there is to it. A good idea is to just avoid everything until you reach a bread all by itself. It's not really as hard as you say. --[[User:Joshua|Joshua]] 15:08, 24 Mar 2005 (MST)
:::::Little tip; Bread usually come in clusters. if you hang in one spot and dodge all the bad things, you can get about 2 breads.

== Proofs of more levels ==

Is anyone else really annoyed by all the fun facts in the "Remarks" section that say "This is shown in the game so it means there will be more levels"? I'm not going to get RID of them, because they are true, but it seems pretty obvious by the MORE LEVELS SOON screen that there will be more levels. We don't need any other worthless proof. [[User:ComputerBox|Tom H]] 12:22, 24 Mar 2005 (MST)
:Do you have to beat the game to get that screen? 'Cause many haven't beat'd it yet.
:Yes, but it's in the section anyway. Or at least it should be. [[User:ComputerBox|Tom H]] 12:54, 28 Mar 2005 (MST)

== Low Quality...! ==

Hey...I just noticed something...the game is initially set to low quality. If you make it better, it just looks more blurry. --[[User:Color Printer|Color Printer]] 18:46, 24 Mar 2005 (MST)

:Yeah, they always make the games with a classic look. Sometimes loads faster that way. --[[User:Ed smildE|EDSMILDE]]

== Is no good for you ==

I think the 'Don't drink, is no good for you' is a reference Tuco's line in 'The Good, The Bad and The Ugly'.
*I think more likely it's a reference to the "don't do drugs" messages a lot of arcade games used to have (still have?)--[[User:Big Dog|Big Dog]] 18:35, 25 Mar 2005 (MST)
**Yep, they still have them. --[[User:Color Printer|Color Printer]] 11:24, 27 Mar 2005 (MST)

== Doesn't work on OS X? ==

I simply cannot get the game to work here on OS X. I've tried different browsers, HTML and SWF, visiting mirror sites -- every time the same thing happens: when I click new game and get past the little startup movie to the part where the character appears on the screen, I simply cannot get Stinkoman to move. None of the keys seem to work. He just stays there and waits. Any ideas? The keyboard works in all the other games. [[User:AaronSw|AaronSw]] 23:55, 25 Mar 2005 (MST)

:But an article about level editing might be okay. --[[User:Ed smildE|EDSMILDE]]

== Current Level Editing Status ==

Has anyone made anymore headway into level editing? I've got the whole thing working locally, and can even edit the XML files to make simple changes, however I do not have the time nor experience to make a level editor.

Additionally, in the XML files, the <D> field seems to just be an object count, but what could <sT> be?

I think some serious inspection of the SWF file and the code is needed before we can do full-featured levels. especially for cT types.

Also trying to figure out how to launch the level editor - I see the entire class. Is there a Flash debugger where I can call a function/object at will?

:I just finished a level editor, after all kind'sa studying that <sT> stuff. I'll try to get it out soon. [[User:Ed smildE|EDSMILDE]]

I already have a great working editor for this game. I had it finished a week after Stinkoman first came out. A new version has just been released. Check it out here: http://www.geocities.com/joesarcade/stinkoman.zip or here: http://joesarcade.hopto.org:8093/stinkoman.zip

I didn't include the cutscenes in the package because you don't need them to make levels. If you want to watch the cutscenes, play the real game.

== Fading Blue Boxes ==
I didn't want to post this in the article, but I don't think Flash would generate those fading blue boxes. I um, really don't see how. Besides, how would there be such oddly shaped boxes? I thought it was just a Nintendo thingy.

It was a reference to Nintendo games that left those artifacts. --[[User:ackicantthinkofaname|ackicantthinkofaname]]

== When you see a boss... ==

When a boss comes up on the screen, some voice shouts something. Do you know it says?

== Declined Fun Facts ==

These Fun Facts were on STUFF and declined. If you want to discuss these facts, please make sure your votes are seperate from the original ones.

====Stlunko====
Stlunko, the world 3 boss, could very well be modeled after...
* ...the final boss in the ''Donkey Kong'' game for Game Boy, in which you fight a giant version of Donkey Kong who uses two hands to smash you in a manner very similar to Stlunko.
* ...Gamma from ''Mega Man 3''.
* ...Rudy, the final boss of ''Wario Land 3''.
* ...Kerozene, a boss added to the [[Wikipedia:Game Boy Advance|Game Boy Advance]] version of ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest''.
*'''Decline.''' If this isn't a TTATOT, I don't know what is. --[[User:Beatfox|Beatfox]] 23:19, 28 Apr 2005 (UTC)
**'''Second.''' -- [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 16:11, 29 Apr 2005 (UTC)
*'''Decline''', you're not trying hard enough - I'm sure you could think of lots more bosses that involve fists somehow if you tried... --[[User:phlip|phlip]] 20:29, 29 Apr 2005 (UTC)
**'''Second.''' I usually like these kind of Fun Facts, but it sounds like you're just not trying here. Pick one. [[User:TakuaKaita600|TK600]] 20:08, 6 May 2005 (UTC)
***Well, if '''I''' had to pick one, I'd definitely pick the first one; it's what the original one stated, and mentioning only that wouldn't be such a TTATOT. --[[User:Shadow Hog|Shadow Hog]] 02:23, 7 May 2005 (UTC)
====Rose Blake====
When SB says "rose face" in #125, it sounds slightly like "rose blake" in stinkoman game.

*'''Double Decliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiined!''' Seriously, can we stop stretching Fun Facts as far as they can possibly be stretched? --[[User:ISlayedTheKerrek|ISlayedTheKerrek]] 15:27, 27 Apr 2005 (UTC)

*'''Gimme a D-cline.''' --[[User:Beatfox|Beatfox]] 23:22, 28 Apr 2005 (UTC)
====Black Spots====
Stinkoman doesn't have any black spots on his cheeks for the ripped off sprites

*'''Decline''' Maybe if I understood what this was saying I might like it more, but it still doesn't seem right. What do you guys think? -- [[User:Joshua|Joshua]] 20:32, 19 Apr 2005 (UTC)
*'''Declininated''' I don't get it. [[User:Kiwi|Kiwi]] 17:10, 19 Apr 2005
*'''Allow me''' I THINK what is being said is this:
The black portion of Stinkoman's mask is missing in his sprite form, because
it is a ripoff of Megaman sprites.
*However, this is pretty useless AND false (it's not a ripoff of Megaman sprites, just strongly based on them.) Most old, small sprites lack detail seen in their fully-drawn form. So I must concur with '''Decline'''. --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 21:43, 19 Apr 2005 (UTC)
*And you can't see Mario's nostrils in Super Mario Bros. So? '''Let's Declining Love''' [[User:Dasrik|Dasrik]] 23:59, 19 Apr 2005 (UTC)
*'''Correct me if I'm wrong, but are you asking for a Decline?!?''' --[[User:Beatfox|Beatfox]] 00:30, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)
*'''Decline''' If you look at the bottom of Stinkoman's white area you can see little black lines so this 'fact' is false [[User:The_Pardack|The_Pardack]]
====Tampo====
The name Tampo may be a reference to a Japanese kind of fried food (Tempura). Or even Tempo, the speed of music.

*'''Decline'''This is very doubtful. Tempura is a big stretch, sure the manual says Tampo is as mean as he is delicious, but that hardly connects Tampo and tempura. And ''tempo''?? Tampo has nothing to do with tempo or even anything musical. --[[User:Ogog|Ogog]]
** '''Comment''' Well, it IS a Mega Man parody, and many Mega Man characters are named for musical terms (Rock & Roll, Blues [in Japan], Bass, Treble, Forte [in Japan], Gospel [in Japan], Rush, Tango, Beat, Punk, Enka/Enker, Quint, Ballad(e), Duo... and I'm probably forgetting a few.) Of course, that doesn't automatically mean that Tampo was named for the term "tempo" - it probably wasn't - but it's not outside the realm of possibility. --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 03:21, 5 Apr 2005 (MDT)
***'''Decline''' The creators of Megaman had music in mind when they made the character. They said so. --[[User:Joshua|Joshua]] 06:03, 5 Apr 2005 (MDT)
*'''Decline''' Big stretch in both cases. And a '''Comment''' to [[User:Ogog|Ogog]], make sure that your comments are bulleted and that you show your vote as Accept or Decline. Also, make sure you remove the STUFF'd item when you put it on this page. --[[User:TheEggman|TheEggman]] 15:38, 26 Mar 2005 (MST)
**'''Second'''. Er, the vote, that is. --[[User:Shadow Hog|Shadow Hog]] 17:44, 26 Mar 2005 (MST)
**'''Sleckhund.''' --[[User:Beatfox|Beatfox]] 23:24, 28 Apr 2005 (UTC)
**'''Er...''' The meaning of Tempo might be he is going faster.
*'''Comment''' Or it could also be a reference to tampons... Um, actually, no, forget that I said that.

Dude, Whomever thought of ths had no idea of an alternative. Maybe it's a bad translation. Or he isn't very mean and also doesn't taste very good.

====Brody====
Brody looks similar to Big Bird from Sesame Street.

*'''Decline'''Aside from Brody's legs and coloring, this isn't true. And the legs and coloring don't hold much water on their own, seeing as how: A. Birds' legs look something like that and are often illustrated that way. B. Every other chicken in Level 2 is colored yellow, and chickens are often illustrated to be yellow anyway. --[[User:Ogog|Ogog]]
**'''Second''' [[User:Dasrik|Dasrik]] 02:35, 5 Apr 2005 (MDT)
**'''Panzerschrecken'd.''' --[[User:Beatfox|Beatfox]] 23:26, 28 Apr 2005 (UTC)
**'''Second.''' -- [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 16:09, 29 Apr 2005 (UTC)
====Engrish====
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.

*'''Decline'''There is absolutely no need to point this out. Yet another fun fact that's too obvious. --[[User:Ogog|Ogog]]
*'''Weak Accept''' I do agree that is kind of obvious, but this does constitute a valid reference. --[[User:TheEggman|TheEggman]] 15:38, 26 Mar 2005 (MST)
*'''Decline'''; noted at the top of the page. --[[User:Shadow Hog|Shadow Hog]] 17:43, 26 Mar 2005 (MST)
**Thanks for immortalizing the fact into my fragile little mind, fact-writer. '''All Your Second Are Belong To Us''' [[User:SP'd|SP'd]]

*Zero Wing is far from the first instance of Engrish. Come on. '''Decline''' [[User:Dasrik|Dasrik]] 02:34, 5 Apr 2005 (MDT)
====Stone Fist====
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!

*'''Decline'''Same as the "More Levels" fun fact listed above. Obvious and not noteworthy as a fun fact. --[[User:Ogog|Ogog]]
*'''Accept''' Same as my comment above - since the game has no Transcript, it's useful as a fact. --[[User:TheEggman|TheEggman]] 15:38, 26 Mar 2005 (MST)
*'''Decline'''. This doesn't show that there will be new levels. That's what the screen AFTER the cutscene's for. --[[User:Shadow Hog|Shadow Hog]] 17:41, 26 Mar 2005 (MST)
*'''Accept!''' [[User:http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php/User:Extremejon|Extremejon]]
*I'm wearing clothes, does that mean for sure I'm going out? '''Decline''' [[User:Dasrik|Dasrik]] 02:33, 5 Apr 2005 (MDT)
**Well that depends. If you're wearing clothes that are made of magnetic material with a strong attraction to a magnetic field just outside an open window that you're standing next to, then it might be safe to assume that you're going out.
*'''Decline''' Now noted in the walkthrough transcript --[[User:Joshua|Joshua]] 05:59, 5 Apr 2005 (MDT)
*'''Second''' [[User:Kvb|Kvb]] 06:43, 5 Apr 2005 (MDT)
*'''Decline''' I think it is pretty much already stated. --[[User: Lappy 486]]
**And now that more levels are actually coming out, saying more levels will come out is completely useless. [[user: lappy 486]]
*'''Decline''' Now that a new level using the stone fist has been released, this is utterly useless. <tt>[[User:Homestar Coder|Aurora the Homestar Coder]]</tt> 22:06, 27 Apr 2005 (UTC)
====Control Scheme====
The poor control scheme (a to jump, s to fire) may be another Mega Man reference, this time to the Mega Man Anniversary Collection which included Mega Man 1-8. On the Gamecube version, the controls for fire and jump were also messed up. (a to fire, b to jump) This eventually ended up with many frusterated gamers who intented to jump over a bottomless pit, but instead fired their plasma buster instead.
*'''Decline'''. This has got to be a joke. Poor control scheme? Tons of computer games use cursor keys as directions and a and s as action buttons. Also it is not uncommon to see the action buttons in the same order, with jump on the left and attack on the right. Additionally, many gamers choose a and s as their main buttons when setting up games and emulators and have no joypad. I'm sorry for whoever got burned by Mega Man, but this really isn't the place for it. -[[User:PolarBoy|PolarBoy]] 11:52, 22 Mar 2005 (MST)
**'''Second'''. --[[User:MZilla|MZilla]] 23:18, 22 Mar 2005 (CST)
*'''Decline'''. The control scheme for Stinkoman 20X6. Whoever wrote this was probably mad at MMAC and just wanted to get it out of his system. I really don't see what the problem is. I have that game, and in a few minutes I was fully adapted to the weirdish control scheme, no problem. -[[User:Joshua|Joshua]] 05:21, 24 Mar 2005 (MST)
**'''Second'''. I, too, have that game, and it came almost second nature. It's not a "poor" control sceme. --[[User:thatkidsam|thatkidsam]] 15:41, 24 Mar 2005 (MST)
*'''Decline''', mostly because it's irrelevant (although I DID hate that reversed control scheme in ''MMAC''...). --[[User:Shadow Hog|Shadow Hog]] 17:39, 26 Mar 2005 (MST)
*'''Second and a comment'''. Hey, the Jump-with-B, Shoot-with-A scheme worked for Metroid Prime, why not MMAC? :P Hehe, oh well. :) -[[User:JakeARoonie|JakeARoonie]] 16:28, 02 Apr 2005 (CST)
*'''Decline''' This is waaay too big of a stretch. [[User:Dasrik|Dasrik]] 02:26, 5 Apr 2005 (MDT)
*'''Decline w/Comment''' I've been playing MMAC on the Gamecube recently. The button layout is not that convoluted at all - once you get used to it, it's second-nature. --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 03:21, 5 Apr 2005 (MDT)
*'''Decline''' I didn't think that MMAC or Stinkoman 20X6's control schemes were "poor". Sorry you got frustrated, but looking here, the majority didn't. --[[User:acekirby13|acekirby13]] 14:01, 8 Apr 2005 (MDT)
*'''Accept''' As a video game lover, I've gotta say that I am pretty used to using the right-most button to jump and the left-most button to fire. Just water this fact down a bit. -[[User:Miss Free Country USA|Miss Free Country USA]]
*'''Declorne''' Uh... so? [[User:SP|SP]]

====Stoves====
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.

*'''Decline'''To quote geoguy: What's the big deal? I feel that Homestar Runner's world is on a different plane of reality. It obviouslty is, but in saying on the official Wiki page that gas stoves are supposed to be obsolete by 20X6? What is 20X6? 2016? Gas is most likely to run out in 2025 in OUR world. In Homestar's world, there may be abundant reserves of oil. Have you ever seen anyone drive a car(for real) in Free Country, USA? They may well use mainly solar power. --[[User:Ogog|Ogog]]
*'''Decline''' This is quite presumptuous - how do we know that gas stoves would have become osbolete? --[[User:TheEggman|TheEggman]] 15:38, 26 Mar 2005 (MST)
*'''Decline''' maybe 20x6 is 2006... ever thought of that, smart guy? [[User:Dasrik|Dasrik]] 02:32, 5 Apr 2005 (MDT)
*'''Decline''' Assumption! 20X6 can be anything from 2006-2096, and I hardly think gas will run out before next year. Though the 20X6 world looks much more futuristic, it's not proven that gas runs out in the Homestar Universe, like Ogog said. --[[User:acekirby13|acekirby13]] 19:28, 7 Apr 2005 (MDT)
**'''Comment''' 20x6 could also be 20106. Maybe by that time more oil will be found.
***'''Response.''' 20x6 is NOT 20106. I've always found the "x" to mean that it's a wildcard, meaning it could be 2006, 2016, 2026, etc. - as in [[time capsule]], it's highly unlikely that a Number One Jam cassette or a gross old wig in a time capsule wouldn't have decomposed in 18,000 years. --[[User:TheEggman|TheEggman]]
****Actually, its very likely since plastic, and many fabrics dont decompose at all. The magnetic tape in the casette might have decomposed but that wouldnt have mattered because Stinkoman ate the casette, not played it.--[[User:-erson|-erson]] 23:40, 16 Apr 2005 (UTC)
***But doesnt a Capital X mean the greek number for 10, and a miniscule x stand for a variable? --[[User:-erson|-erson]] 18:48, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)
****A capital X signifies a ''Roman'' numeral 10. And variables are ''usually'' lowercase, but if you don't have a character set with upper- and lowercase letters (like most old video games), then you just have to make do with what you got. (See also [[Rabbit Algebra]], which seems to mix the two.) — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 21:47, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)

**Uh, uh, uh! You stopped a little short there, pal. The full sentence is "According to TBC, he is likely never going to be used on the site, but they may yet change their minds."

*It's already up, though I didn't notice it on the main page. And let me tell you: 6.1 wasn't that bad, but 6.2 is EVIL INCARNATE!

** The boss is evil too. Finally made it with three lives, but it didn't help (thanks to the lack of checkpoints and the ability to start at any reached non-boss level, I learned that there's no reason not to restart when you lose one life in a stage - except that it takes a little bit longer.) --[[User:Jay|''Jay'']] [[User talk:Jay|(Talk)]] 18:47, 16 May 2005 (UTC)
*** The boss has a pretty predictable pattern, so he's pretty easy to beat. The only problem is that he takes so many hits to kill that if you make a few stupid mistakes, you're screwed.
*The one thing that really got me on this one was level 6.2's ending. Level 5.2 was hard enough with the several Downtants, but the platform that you need to reach in order to beat 6.2 was unbelievably difficult. If you didn't time it just right, you were dead. It took me several tries to get it. I didn't find anything else so difficult about level 6.2, I was able to get to the end-area with 3 lives and full health usually, after all the losses on the end platform. In the end I finally beat it. But then again, level 7 won't be any easier... unless it's something like level 3. --SBEmail22
*Level 6 was ridiculously easy. It was really rather anticlimatic after level 5 was so hard. I spent days on level 5. Level 6 took 15 minutes.
*This is one of the hardest videogame boards I have ever played. Level 6 is almost unbeatable, kudos to TBC for giving this video game nut a good challenge (pardon the pun) [[User:The_Pardack|The Pardack]]
*The lack of checkpoints '''kill''' me in this game! I always get to the last two disintegrating clouds (on level 6.2) and then jump, but the freakin' up-down bar crap drops! AGH! I can even see the * Flag! [[User:Cheatachu72|Cheatachu72]] 18:14, 23 May 2005 (UTC)

Tip: In order to finish level 6.2, you need to jump onto the clouds when the trap is down. Once you reach the platform, immediately jump. THis will make you reach the flag platform. Maestro-not logged in

== Did Anyone Else Get This Glitch? ==

So I'm playing through my favoriate scene 2.2, and I get to 2.3, mr. big bird starts attacking.
Its 11:19PM and I don't care, so I let myself die... Bird's feet weaken me to my last power-up, then the beak attack does me in... I have 2 mans left, but the return of the challenge hasn't a floor... I fall to my doom... and it repeats... V.3 of the game... What's up with this?

* Happened to me, too, in both V3 and 4. Same thing happens with level 1's boss fight. No idea why. It worked fine in earlier versions. Happens with both locally-saved and website copies, in Firefox and IE (same plugin, so that's not surprising). --[[User:The Archon|The Archon]] 23:20, 19 May 2005 (UTC)

== Shadowy Figure Revealed! ==

At the end of the boss battle in 5.2 take a chose look at the mysterious figure. He has a perfectly round head with a what looks like a baseball cap. Which makes him 20X6 Coach Z.

Mystery solved.

Whoa... Couch Z! You sit on him and watch your old Star Wars movies! Hey look! I found a quarter! [[User:Amy Whifflepoof|Amy Whifflepoof]]

*I fixed the spelling, you know there are nicer ways to tell someone they made a mistake.

I knew it all along. Seriously, that was quite obvious. I think his name is Coach X. [[User:Kvb|Kvb]] 19:19, 24 May 2005 (UTC)

== Don't read this if you like the game ==

I don't want to start a flame war (even though I probably will), but I just have to say that I'm really starting to hate this game. Aside from being pointlessly difficult, it doesn't really capture the fun that Megaman (and games of that era) had. For one, Megaman was about killing enemies with cool weapons, not hopping around on platforms and avoiding indestructible saw blades. Sure, Megaman had that, but it was never the case that the best strategy was to avoid enemies (which seems to be the case in Stinkoman). And what's up with the fact that you inevitably have to go completely out of your way in order to get a power pill, which means that after you're done backtracking your power is most likely right back where you started. The storyline is completely flat, and seems to revolve around the characters sitting at home, and then leaving home to go somewhere, and just generally ignoring the storyline. It's probably just me, but after suffering though 6.1 I have no desire to continue on to 6.2. Granted, they're working with limited media, but still... [[User:24.239.141.162|24.239.141.162]] 22:41, 16 May 2005 (UTC)

I'm with you on the difficulty, brother. I don't see anything else wrong with the game. But that's just Videlectrix.

Oh, wait, did I mention Edsmilde has a level editor so that you can make it easier or so? It might help. -[[User:BurninatorBoombox&Markie|MK and/or BurnBox]] 22:46, 16 May 2005 (UTC)

I'm pretty sure that's the point. Not to make it a "cool" game, but to make it funny, like everything else on the website. [[User:Nosmorking|No Smorking]] 22:54, 16 May 2005 (UTC)
:But.. It would be funnier if it was only one level and you didn't have to play through it... like Super Kingio Bros. [[User:24.239.141.162|24.239.141.162]] 23:24, 16 May 2005 (UTC)

Yeah, but that would suck. At least this one is a real game. [[User:Nosmorking|No Smorking]] 23:32, 16 May 2005 (UTC)

If it wasn't too much of a hassle (since a lot of the difficulty has to do with jumping), it would be nice to have different difficulty levels. As it stands, this game is too ''easy'' for me, but I know people who have trouble with the first level. I guess it just depends on what you're into... I happen to love the game (as much as one can love a game, anyway).

== Object Library Links ==

Is there any point to having the object library links (cutsceneds/xml/etc) at the bottom of the page? I saw that Philip added them there in the last few days, and I'm wondering what the point is....you can't do anything with them really. (Unless i'm missing the point) Should we remove the links? --[[User:Duke33|Duke33]] 14:44, 18 May 2005 (UTC)

:I'm not entirely sure whether to remove them or not. They can be used to mod the game, and I guess he thought that only a few people could find them in my post in the [[Talk:Stinkoman 20X6#XML|XML]] section. I'll leave 'em for now, and see if anyone else has any opinions on this. --{{User:Venusy/Sig}}, 18:14, 18 May 2005 (BST)

:Well I figured we link to things like the virus'd Sketchbook and such in [[virus]], so I may as well put all those links there. Besides, my reasoning was that this is a wiki - if it shouldn't be there then someone will remove it. --[[User:phlip|phlip]] 04:24, 19 May 2005 (UTC)

Unfortunately, it was Trogga, and he has a reputation for cleaning a ''little'' too much up, as seen in this edit [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Sightings&diff=78777&oldid=78657 here]. No one else seemed to have any opinion about this, so add 'em back if you want. I think I'll put them on my user page actually, to preserve the links. --{{User:Venusy/Sig}}, 19:44, 23 May 2005 (BST)

== Quick Tidbit For Level 6.2 ==

Lets say you make it all the way to the bluetant and 3-prong... near the end...
choice a) go up and avoid two 3-prongs, then dodge ligtning & two saws...
choice b) kill the bluetant, manage up some difficult evaporating clouds, face a bluetant, lightning & two 3-prongs as if you made it past choice a.

Tidbit: if you're any good at this level, and you can make it up choice A unscratched... then do not kill the power-crunch bluetant (or if you do, then don't get the power crunch)... go up choice A, make it to the bluetant... if you kill the bluetant, unharmed, then awesome! Only two lightning bolts and two 3-prongs to go!!! However, if you want to beat the boss, you'll need all your life... say you make a mistake and lose two lives...

backtrack to where choice Bbrings you... right before the 2 bolts and prongs... go down the clouds, and you'll have a powercrunch awaiting for you... then go back up the EVs, because that's the easiest, least deadly... you don't have to worry about that bluetant, and just go through the bolts and prongs again... do it good, full life... beat the boss... kick the mouse... and see the same TV that Stinkoman has...

yeah how to do it:
1) the cloud starts coming at you, when he does it, and on his first land, run imeediately to teh first place he lands for what reason you ask:? so when hekeeps going you can shoot him, only shoot at his sun glasses , its seeming to be the only place that harms him, keep this up, You will then have some lightning shoot after the 2nd time, run just one distance away from the edge of the screen ( so the tornado doesnt get two shots on you )whichever closer to avoid it. Now if you keep this up for three times, the tornado will shoot around 5, just stay close to him to avoid them. then run away , say to the left, and he will land one place, run to that spot and keep on shooting. I just developed this strategy, and woudl you believe it, a Mouse.. a mouse was causing all of that - thats got you wanting to play even more to see if im telling the truth!

== Trolling ==

Someone (looged out at the time) did tons of trolling on this page. I fixed it now, but a list of what they did can be found [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Stinkoman_20X6&curid=5991&diff=87772&oldid=87769 here]. --[[User:VolatileChemical|VolatileChemical]] 01:30, 26 May 2005 (UTC)

== Looooooong Fall ==

The reason there is a looooooooong fall on level 2.2 is that you keep climbing up and up yet brody is on the kitchen floor. This won't work in level 6, provided with the fact all clouds look the same, not like the kitchen counters.-Amy Whifflepoof

== Magic Pockets? ==

Did anybody else think that the level 6 boss was reminiscent of the game Magic Pockets? The boss is a giant whirlwind that bounces and shoots bubbles from its top. In the first stage of Magic Pockets, the character attacks by throwing whirlwinds that bounce. If the fire button is held long enough, the whirlwinds are large and spit smaller whirlwinds from their tops. (There might be a powerup needed as well, I'll check up on it)

That sounds great, but the tornado reminds me of the mouse with sunglasses boss in super mario advance who throws bob-ombs at you. Um.. it's probably a Magic Pockets ref, though......

Quoting from the page "Liekand could be a reference to Super Mario Bros. 2 where the boss of the 4th level was a flame wearing sunglasses called "Fryguy", along with the fat mouse refering to the first boss, "Mouser". The bubble sprite used for Liekand's attack looks like the same sprite used for Wart's attack in Super Mario Bros. 2.". It seems like the character's drawing on multiple references already. Being a newbie, I'm unsure about the procedure for adding mine (there doesn't seem to be a Stinkoman 20X6 category on STUFF,for example).--[[User:Electric Monkey|Electric Monkey]] 21:42, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)
:I'm not sure how I'd vote on it, but there IS a Stinkoman 20x6 section on [[STUFF]] - or, at least, there used to be if there isn't now. It's under "Games". If it doesn't exist, feel free to add it if you want to STUFF a fact. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 21:47, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)

== Powercrunch? ==

I think we should change all the "Powercrunches" into "capsules". In the email, the red and white thing was a capsule, and the powercrunch was the tape. When 1-up takes Stinkoman's powercrunch in the game, it is also a tape. --[[User:Nosmorking|No Smorking]] 16:01, 28 May 2005 (UTC)

I disagree, they're two different things, with two different usages, the capsule is for restoring health, and you can ask Joshua about what the power crunch does... --[[User:Dinoshaur|Dinoshaur]] 15:47, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Yeah, I think that's what I was trying to say. The Enemies list and walkthroughs have the capsules listed as powersrunches. I think we should change those so they say capsules. --[[User:68.236.19.26|68.236.19.26]] 15:56, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I think you have a point. I don't believe that the capsules are ever called power crunches, but the tape definately is. <tt>[[User:Homestar Coder|Aurora the Homestar Coder]]</tt> 16:01, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)

== Biography ==

'''Strong Bad''' is one of the most popular characters. Strong Bad answers [[Strong Bad Email |e-mails]] with a passion, usually every Monday or Tuesday. He will [[Spelling|make fun]] of your grammar, punctuation, and spelling, but doesn't seem to be worried about his own. He's [[Strong Sad]]'s big brother and [[Strong Mad]]'s little brother. His is the dominant personality and he loves to push everyone around: he's often ridiculing Strong Sad, abusing [[Homestar Runner|Homestar]], kicking [[The Cheat]], or prank-calling [[Marzipan]]. He has boxing gloves for hands (that always have square window reflections on them, no-matter where he is), a Mexican wrestling mask for a head, and it is confirmed that the mask IS actually his head in [http://members.shaw.ca/kevinscott/Homestar/page5.html this interview]. His favorite saying is (or was for a time) "holy crap." He hates to be asked "[[How Do You Type With Boxing Gloves On?|Hey, Strong Bad, how do you type with boxing gloves on?]]". He usually does what he does best when he gets an e-mail like that: '''[[DELETED|DELETED!!!]]''' The blue diamond on his face also gives him the power to mentally open [[Cold One]]s and even tip Homestar's hat over.

He fancies himself as a criminal mastermind, and totally popular with the ladies, though there is little evidence of this latter claim, and even [[lures & jigs|admits]] on accident at one point that he doesn't really know anything about the ladies. He has delusions of grandeur about how much Marzipan likes him when she really doesn't like him at all. He seems to have a grudge against [[The Birds|birds]], as shown in issues of [[Teen Girl Squad]]. He also loves to listen to Peter Frampton, [[Limozeen]] and [[Taranchula]].

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': Well, I was gonna get a high five, but, I see I'm already here. And with a snake on my head!

'''STRONG BAD''': Yeah, that's right. So I'm gonna have to charge you double. You know, since you're both here.

==Technical junk==
I'm kinda miffed that someone removed my comment about the broken JPEG icon being from Mozilla. I thought it was interesting. Oh well. And this sentence about Linux--The name is often thrown around as a buzzword by those who do not know what it is, which explains Strong Bad's absolutely random use of the name--sounds rather pompous, even condescending. ~ [[User:Aero|Aero]] 11:44, 16 Nov 2004 (MST)

maybe not, maybe they just assume that most of their fans use ie and thats why they always make the webpages appear like ie error pages.

==Mac popup?==
Is the thing explaining how the Mac OS X popup looks really necessary? Why wouldn't it be otherwise? And complete with a screenshot? No offence, just seems kinda obvious. ~ [[User:Aero|Aero]] 19:56, 15 Nov 2004 (MST)
:I'm more bothered by it not being a thumbnail, as is seemingly standard nowadays.
:Also... about this line:
:"It also seems to be able to evade pop-up blockers. Uh oh, don't let the ad companies find out about this..."
:What pop-up blocker are you using? Both SP2 and Google blocked the pop-up until I told them to trust HSR.com, so that doesn't hold true. At all. [[User:Shadow Hog|Shadow Hog]] 20:45, 15 Nov 2004 (MST)
::[[User:Aero|Aero]] has brought up a good point here-- the needless screenshot seems to make this already long article (mainly due to the long transcript) even longer. The fact that Mac OS X displays popups with a different bar across the top would be justified if, on [[The System Is Down]] or [[Not the 100th Email!!!]], there were a discussion on how "This Page Cannot Be Displayed" only applies to people using the Internet Explorer browser. The overall point being the TBC most likely chose to display popups in the style that they did expecting the most number of users to be using the aforementioned browser (along with Windows). And of course there are going to be users of other browsers and operating systems. I'm sure most of us can agree that we are able to imagine what the differences may be without the need for a screenshot. --[[User:The Paper|Teh P.]] 22:35, 15 Nov 2004 (MST)
::I'm of the opinion that the Mac OS X thing doesn't belong. It just doesn't seem all that important. I mean, I noticed it was a popup window right away due to my using WinXP, but I didn't create a fun fact about it.

Strange, he wasn't nearly as dramatic when the Tandy exploded. And he pretty much threw it away after a while. This e-mail has "new computer" written all over it.

:I get the impression that the Tandy was just some computer he happened to have, maybe he just inherited it from someone else or something, whereas the Compy 386 was something he specifically went out and got, himself, to replace the Tandy.

== Just a heads up... ==

I've noticed that in previous e-mails that they've singled out occasions where everyone was used. This one come's close so I was wondering if anyone spotted Homsar besides the little Strong Mad sound effect.

:Not I, and it doesn't matter anyway - Pom-Pom is absent as well. - [[User:Jay|Jay]]

== Slight correction ==

I think Strongbad's line early on in the email is "Like the kind that ''mobs in'' offshore casinos send you?", not Moms. Makes more sense anyway, since mobs have been rumored to run, among other things, casinos, and though the idea of mobs distributing viruses is absurd, it pokes fun at the misinformation and paranioa most people have concerning viruses.
:I thought about that, but I listened to it a few times and it still kind of sounded like "moms," so I just left it in. --[[User:TheNintenGenius|TheNintenGenius]] 22:15, 15 Nov 2004 (MST)

Now that Compy is more or less gone, shouldn't there be a new sbemail menu? Didn't they do this with Tandy?
:Well No Name, they can't do it NOW. If they would've, it would have ruined the surprise if you accessed the email via the sbemail menu. They'll probably change it next week or so. --[[User:TheNintenGenius|TheNintenGenius]] 23:53, 15 Nov 2004 (MST)

:You may not notice it at first, but when Bubs walks by for the first time his left arm is stuck in a [[Dancin' Bubs]] position as well. He is not really moving it back and forth from carrying Homestar's leg/Shotgun. This is actually position #4. Just thought I would clear things up.

== Strong Man? ==

Who keeps putting Marzipan as saying "Strong Man"? It's not like the sound is very distinct. Context makes it clear that she's saying "Strong Mad". - [[User:furrykef|furrykef]] 19:36, 17 Nov 2004 (MST)

== The "Gibberish" Sound ==

I'm probably wasting my time, but I started fooling around with the weird gibberish sounds heard from Marzipan and the glitched Quote of the Day to see if there was any meaning to them. After applying several filters to the original wave file, I've been able to make out the following quote:

"(blah blah blah) this music... and the design... and (blah blah) musician"

Take a listen and see if you can make it out too.

[http://bastard.popexperiment.com/kamek/gibberish.wav Original gibberish]
[http://bastard.popexperiment.com/kamek/gibberish2.wav "New" gibberish]

:There's definitely something there, I think, but we're never gonna be able to figure out what just by listening to it, no matter how we process the sound. - [[User:furrykef|furrykef]] 22:01, 17 Nov 2004 (MST)

::That's pretty creepy. -- [[User:FireBird|FireBird]]|[[User Talk:FireBird|Talk]]

:Hmm... I listened to it again I ''think'' she's still talking about the stack of VHS tapes. I think she's not saying "(blah blah) musician", but "and the composition", i.e., the design and composition of the, um, VHS tapes (you know, making a big deal out of it like it were an art sculpture, not unlike Marzipan). I can't hear the "c" in "composition" there, but it could have been filtered out or something. I could be way off, though. The word "design" sticks out pretty well but the rest is just muddled. - [[User:furrykef|furrykef]] 23:24, 18 Nov 2004 (MST)

Is it just me, or does the beginning and end of the original gibberish sound a little bit like the opening theme from the first season of Digimon?

:It's probably you. But I've never seen it. And that comment wasn't necessary. -- [[User:FireBird|FireBird]]|[[User Talk:FireBird|Talk]]

Hey! I think I got what Marzipan is trying to say! Look. I used Creative and tweaked the sounds a bit! It sounded like... On the contrary the music and the violin need the auto face rubber...?

== Pruning ==

I just went and slashed a lot of fun facts. I also separated the references for now, just because there are so many (and some are disputed). This might be temporary, and don't think it'd be necessary to create a "References" section for every e-mail, just reference-heavy ones. I'm not entirely happy with that, since in some cases it's hard to figure out if something is more of a fun fact or a reference. But this is just a start and it might help bring some order from the chaos. (I also did my best to order the references in the rough order they appear in the e-mail, so it'll be easier to find the one you want to edit/remove/etc.) - [[User:furrykef|furrykef]] 08:17, 19 Nov 2004 (MST)

:Just to clarify, the idea in separating the references from the fun facts now is so that both can be pruned more efficiently. - [[User:furrykef|furrykef]] 08:27, 19 Nov 2004 (MST)

::If we do it on this e-mail we should do it on all of them (if needed). Should we get to work on this? Or is it already in progress? -- [[User:FireBird|FireBird]]|[[User Talk:FireBird|Talk]]

:I disagree that it'd be necessary for all the other e-mails. I mean, really, is it that necessary that every e-mail page follow precisely the same format? It's good to be consistent, but also bear in mind that "a foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds". I don't see advantages in doing it for all the other e-mails. I do see advantages in doing it for this one, at least until we get the list sorted out. - [[User:furrykef|furrykef]] 17:17, 19 Nov 2004 (MST)

:I think if this one needs it, all others need it (except for ones who have no references in them). If we don't let Strong Bad e-mails follow the same format, why not let the transcripts follow their own format, or the toons? I think it's definately necessary for all Strong Bad E-mails to follow the same format. -- [[User:FireBird|FireBird]]|[[User Talk:FireBird|Talk]]

::You don't understand. You ''all'' understand. I mean, don't understand. Well, anyway, the difference is that transcripts, toons, etc. follow the same general format because there is usually no significant reason to deviate. On the other hand, most of them don't have "fun facts" sections filling up a third of the page, either. You say they all need to follow precisely the same format, but I must ask you: why? This isn't arbitrary format fiddling. I stated my case (which you didn't argue with), and I also said that it will probably be temporary. Tell me, what brings greater benefit: trying to organize the <s>mess</s> mass of <s>dumb</s> fun facts, or sticking to the same old format for no reason other the sake of sticking to a format? - [[User:furrykef|[[User:furrykef|furrykef]] ([[User_talk:furrykef|Talk at me]])]] 08:02, 20 Nov 2004 (MST)

:::I'm not trying to get into some big argument here. Just a head's up.

:::I'm not saying ditch the format thing. I love the idea, but I think it should be with every e-mail, and not just ones with loads of referencs. Just think- wouldn't be more organized? If one e-mail has a load of references in it, we could put a sub-heading for "references", but why not all other e-mails with references, even if it's only three? I feel it would be easier to find, as well as look real nice. -- [[User:FireBird|FireBird]]|[[User Talk:FireBird|Talk]]

=== STUFF'D! ===
I talked with [[User:Tom|Tom]] about it, and we decided that we should try out the idea of a fun fact approval page. This is just for trying it out: we haven't committed to it yet, especially not without the approval of the other administrators, but there should be no harm in trying it on just one page. There's also a [http://forum.hrwiki.org/viewtopic.php?t=1320 forum thread] on whether or not we should do it. - [[User:furrykef|[[User:furrykef|furrykef]] ([[User_talk:furrykef|Talk at me]])]] 22:58, 20 Nov 2004 (MST)

:I think it's a good idea. I just think that the note on the virus e-mail (or any other e-mail) should be brought down to around

:"There are more fun facts in STUFF. Please go there to view them."

:Or somethin' like that. But this is pretty awesome. F'real. -- [[User:FireBird|FireBird]]|[[User Talk:FireBird|Talk]]

::Well, I want users to understand what's going on. So far, they don't: ''nobody'' has posted anything on the STUFF page, they just keep posting (worthless) "fun" "facts" here.

== Crossing the 4th Wall ==
I disagree with the last fun fact. Never do the characters acknowledge that they are CARTOONS. In the homestar universe, the strong bad emails (as the cheat is watching on his computer in huttah!) are analogous to live TV shows in our universe. Similarly, all the other instances can be explained by assuming that Strong Bad and co. are aware that people are watching them, but just as a live show.

:Well, that's what the [[HRWiki:STUFF]] page is for. If you don't like a fun fact (and it hadn't gone through the process already), just move it there. I'll do it for ya this time. - [[User:furrykef|[[User:furrykef|furrykef]] ([[User_talk:furrykef|Talk at me]])]] 23:33, 20 Nov 2004 (MST)

*On some browsers, this email doesn't work properly. First, the "Click On The Monkey" popup never appears even after disabling pop up blockers, then all the animation (except for the characters blinking) stops during the Strong Mad and Marzipan section.
What browsers are we talking about here? At the very least, we should list what changes from browser to browser. I haven't noticed any difference from Firefox to IE. I'm thinking this glitch might be due to a particular user's settings. As such, I've removed it from the article for now.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 11:05, 6 Feb 2005 (MST)

:It is probably my settings that lead to this. I'm using Win XP, with SP2. Due to my administrator not seeing how good Firefox is, I'm using IE 6, with Norton Internet Security 2005 installed.

=== Gilligan's Island? (Declined) ===
The "And the rest" may be a reference to the first Gilligan's Island theme song, where the chorus sang some of the main character's name but then just sang "and the rest" instead of the other's names.

*'''Keep''' -- Was thinking the same thing. -- [[User:olene|olene]]

**'''Second''' -- "And the rest" is a common phrase, and without anything else reminiscent of Gilligan's Island I think it's too much of a stretch to consider this a reference. --[[User:Alun Clewe|Alun Clewe]] 01:59, 26 Feb 2005 (MST)
*'''Weak Accept.''' This is probably true, however in the middle of the series, they changed the lyric "and the rest" to "the professer and Marianne" considering that the only two people left were just as important as the others, and two people hardly constitutes as "the rest." Back to topic: this is a very likely reference to that. →[[User:evin290|evin290]] 20:09, 17 Jan 2005 (MST)
*'''Accept''' TBC could have just as easily said "etc." or "and so on", but "and the rest" is a quaint way of putting it. I immediately thought of 'Giligan's Island' at the time, and don't believe it's a coincidence. --[[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]]

*'''Decline.''' I very much doubt it. --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]

=== Strong Sad's blog (Declined) ===
When Strong Sad walks up and ask Strong Bad about a virus, his pixilated face is probably a referance to Strong Sad's blog (A.K.A. Strong Sad's Lament) from the e-mail website. On each post it shows his mood, and they are the same one that Strong SAd has hovering, they are probably pixiated because it enlarged the image's from the blog.

== Easter Eggs ==

*For some reason I couldn't revert the page back to normal, I couldn't FIND a page that had the easter eggs, only previous editions that had the list. I had to cut and paste from that list. Is there some virus in the wiki or something? [[User:Dasrik|Dasrik]] 02:53, 12 May 2005 (UTC)
** You could just revert from the previous version. (Go to History, select an old version, then hit "edit" and save it without changing it.) Anyway, I've been noticing us missing a LOT of vandalism lately. I couldn't say why, but this IS getting close to finals week - assuming it ''isn't'' finals week - for anyone in college. Thanks for sorta-reverting it, though. --[[User:Jay|''Jay'']] [[User talk:Jay|(Talk)]] 03:14, 12 May 2005 (UTC)
***I dunno, maybe I suck at this, but I tried that. The first time, it wouldn't take, the second time I noticed that EVERY page I tried seemed to have the Easter Eggs missing. I thought maybe someone hacked the site or something. [[User:Dasrik|Dasrik]] 00:55, 13 May 2005 (UTC)
****[http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=virus&oldid=79591 This edit] was the last one before the troll to contain Easter Eggs. The troll only affected one edit. Did you hit the "cur" or "last" buttons (which don't work for reverting in this way), or just the link to the old version? --[[User:Jay|''Jay'']] [[User talk:Jay|(Talk)]] 01:01, 13 May 2005 (UTC)

== Getting Frustrated ==

Could the "Current Mood: Getting Frustrated" above Strong Sad's head be a reference to the "Other Characters" Quotes Pack?

:No. It's a reference to Strong Sad's Journal, where one of his blogs uses the same icon. --[[User:Gafaddict|Gafaddict]] 23:06, 26 May 2005 (UTC)

[[Image:TheBrothersChaps.jpg|thumb|Left to right: Mike and Matt Chapman]] '''The Brothers Chaps''' (often abbreviated as '''TBC''') are '''[[Mike Chapman|Mike]] and [[Matt Chapman]]''', the creators of HomestarRunner.com. Yes, the amazing, spectacular, incredibly awesome people who are behind the wonders of Homestar Runner.

== History ==
In 1996 during the Olympics in Atlanta, Mike Chapman and his friend [[Craig Zobel]] created a children's book called "[[Original Book|The Homestar Runner Enters the Strongest Man in the World Contest]]." They did this out of boredom and to satirize the poorly made children's books they saw at their local mall. After writing and drawing it, they copied about 10 books and gave them to some of their friends to read for fun.
[[Image:TheBrothersChapsBandW.jpg|thumb|Looking spiffy in black and white]]

In 1999 Mike started learning Macromedia Flash and decided to practice on some of the characters from the original book. His younger brother Matt Chapman performed the voices for the cartoons and together they launched a website to show their close friends their cartoons. Word of mouth spread, and their website and characters have become a smash hit.

== Fun Facts ==
*Their father is [[Don and Harriet Chapman|Don Chapman]], a retired chief financial officer of an insurance firm. Their mother is Harriet Chapman.
*They have 3 (other) siblings.
*They were raised in a religious family.
*They have a [[Little Girl|young niece]], who is featured in several [[Puppet Stuff]] films.

[[Image:sb1.PNG|thumb|"You don't know it yet, but I'm the reason you're here!"]]

== Biography ==

'''Strong Bad''' is one of the most popular characters. Strong Bad answers [[Strong Bad Email |e-mails]] with a passion, usually every Monday or Tuesday. He will [[Spelling|make fun]] of your grammar, punctuation, and spelling, but doesn't seem to be worried about his own. He's [[Strong Sad]]'s big brother and [[Strong Mad]]'s little brother. His is the dominant personality and he loves to push everyone around: he's often ridiculing Strong Sad, abusing [[Homestar Runner|Homestar]], kicking [[The Cheat]], or prank-calling [[Marzipan]]. He has boxing gloves for hands (that always have square window reflections on them, no-matter where he is), a Mexican wrestling mask for a head, and it is confirmed that the mask IS actually his head in [http://members.shaw.ca/kevinscott/Homestar/page5.html this interview]. His favorite saying is (or was for a time) "holy crap." He hates to be asked "[[How Do You Type With Boxing Gloves On?|Hey, Strong Bad, how do you type with boxing gloves on?]]". He usually does what he does best when he gets an e-mail like that: '''[[DELETED|DELETED!!!]]''' The blue diamond on his face also gives him the power to mentally open [[Cold One]]s and even tip Homestar's hat over.

He fancies himself as a criminal mastermind, and totally popular with the ladies, though there is little evidence of this latter claim, and even [[lures & jigs|admits]] at one point he doesn't really know anything about the ladies. He has delusions of grandeur about how much Marzipan likes him when she really doesn't like him at all. He seems to have a grudge against [[The Birds|birds]], as shown in issues of [[Teen Girl Squad]]. He also loves to listen to Peter Frampton, [[Limozeen]] and [[Taranchula]].

'''STRONG BAD''': Hold on, I'm not done with the props yet! ''{turns to camera}'' Greetings, party people in the place to be! I am called Strong Bad! Hand over all your moneys in a paper and/or plastic bag! Ladies, form a line to my left for makeouts! Dudes, form a line to my right for high fives! Like I said, I'm Strong Bad. I've been described as cool, awesome, hot, video games, the hottest, and real real hot. Me and my big brother and our The Cheat pretty much run the show around here, as well as serve as a sort of multi-purpose criminal element. Yeah, we got a lot of-

'''STRONG BAD''': What are you doing here?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': Well, I was gonna get a high five, but, I see I'm already here. And with a snake on my head!

'''STRONG BAD''': Yeah, that's right. So I'm gonna have to charge you double. You know, since you're both here.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': That sounds reasonable. ''{pronounces it re-ZON-able}''

==Transcript==

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' Here comes another email that I'll answer for you! Here comes another email that I'll answer for you!

<blockquote class="lappy email">
<div>subject: garage sale=money!</div>
hey strong bad! 
I seriously think you need to have a garage sale!! I mean 
think of all da things you could get with all that money... 
 
cat (yeah that's my real name)</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad reads the first line exaggeratedly fast, as it is written. He over-emphasizes the "da", and doesn't read the part in parentheses, instead saying...}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ...and something I don't wanna read. ''{typing}'' What sort of 'da things' are we talking about here, Catman? 'Da bomb' or, uh, 'da boyz' or even, ''{not typed}'' uh, ''{typing}'' 'da hood?' Nah, I don't think I want any of dose. ''{clears screen}'' Lemme tell you a thing or two about garage sales: Ya ever get the feeling that the people just got lazy taking the trash out, so they stopped right there on the driveway and started putting price tags on things? I mean, isn't it just a little suspicious that there's only a one-letter difference between 'garage sale' and 'garbage sale?' ''{says "gar-bahge", to rhyme with "garage"}'' Except, don't ever say 'garbage' ''{same way}'' like that. That's, like, the only joke Moms have and they can keep it for all I care. So then there's the issue of the sort of folks that frequent garage sales: bottom feeders, lemme tell ya.

''{Cut to Strong Bad's garage sale in the middle of the Field. There is a sign reading "GAR<strike>B</strike>AGE SALE" (with the 'B' crossed out), and [[#Some Items for Sale|merchandise]] is found everywhere with various price tags. Marzipan walks up.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' First, there's the haggler, ''{"THE HAGGLER" appears in the middle of the screen with a bowler derby on it for a moment.}'' the guy who spends all day trying to talk you down from a quarter to twenty-two cents for some worthless piece of crap.

''{The camera scrolls over to Bubs and Strong Bad. Bubs is holding an ugly doll.}''

'''BUBS:''' I'll give you two thin dimes for this pantyhose doll.

'''STRONG BAD:''' First off... all... that is Aunt Gert! And secondly, she's worth WAY more than the quarter I'm asking for her! Heck, I paid six-fifty for her new! And them's 1998 dollars!

'''BUBS:''' Well, maybe if she was wearing a troll outfit, or a witch's hat or somethin'...

'''STRONG BAD:''' I'll let it go for twenty-four cents.

'''BUBS:''' Twenty-two and a half!

'''STRONG BAD:''' You, my friend... just bought yourself an Aunt Gert.

''{Cut away to the hills of The Field}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Next is the lurker. ''{"THE LURKER" appears in the middle of the screen with a candle and two skulls on it for a moment.}'' You know, the shady night-manager at Stuckey's type, who shades around all day but never buys anything.

''{The camera pans down to Strong Sad and Senor Cardgage looking at merchandise. Strong Sad steps away from Senor Cardgage.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' And you're like, is he there just to be seen?

'''SENOR CARDGAGE:''' Look at this can of peas, Helvetica! Won't you help me buy it for you?

'''STRONG SAD:''' I'm finding it hard to express just how uncomfortable I am right now.

'''SENOR CARDGAGE:''' I dan't know why. Exprecially since you have this can of peas to look forward to!

''{Strong Bad walks up.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Look, if you're not gonna buy anything, you gotta leave. You're drivin' away all my best customers!

''{Senor Cardgage walks off with the can of peas.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Augh! I feel like I need a chemical shower after talking to that guy! Do we have an emergency eyewash station?

'''STRONG BAD:''' At least he bought something, ''lurker!'' Go back to Stuckey's! ''{voiceover}'' And last, but not least...

''{Cut to another part of the garage sale, this time with Marzipan and Coach Z. "COACH Z", with a basketball instead of the O and a towel hanging off the Z, appears in the middle of the screen. Coach Z is carrying a variety of items all labelled "Great for baby!"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' ...there's Coach Z.

''{The text disappears.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' Coach Z, may I ask why you're buying up all the "great for baby" items?

'''COACH Z:''' I'd prefer that you didn't.

''{cut back to the Lappy}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Obviously, wasting your Saturday morning just to sell $3.19 worth of trash isn't the real reason to have a garage sale. It's to get people out of their houses so The Cheat can ransack them!!

''{Cut to Homestar's living room. The place is a wreck, and The Cheat is standing in the middle of the room near a large bag. Frank Bennedetto is laying on its side in the foreground.}''

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{says something while stuffing Homestar's cow lamp into the bag}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{popping out of the bag}'' Hey, can you put this cow lamp back? ''{throws it out}'' We're running out of room in here! You wouldn't get much for that thing anyways. It's not even a real cow.

''{Cut back to the Lappy}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' See? And then we'd make a killing when we sell the stuff back to them a few weeks later at an inflated price.

''{Cut to the garage sale. Marzipan and Strong Bad are standing near Marzipan's answering machine on a table..}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' Ooh! This is perfect! I've always wanted an answering machine!

'''ANSWERING MACHINE:''' ''{in Marzipan's voice}'' It's a great day at Marzipan's! Please leave me a message!

''{Marzipan looks at Strong Bad angrily, while Strong Bad looks around shiftily.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Uh, see, it ''is'' perfect! It already knows your name, even! Heh! Oooh, heh. Eee. Oh. Hmm. Peow! ''{runs off}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' More like, ''pree''-ow!

''{[[The Paper]] comes down.}''

==Easter Eggs==

*At the beginning, click on "da bomb," "da boyz" and "da hood" to bring up T-shirts with phrases incorporating each term.
*At the end, click on the Heavy Lourde to see Homestar make an offer he can't refuse.
:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' We got a Homestar Runner for sale! Slightly used and mostly confused! We can't ''give'' these things away! ''{leans}'' I'll take it! ''{leans other way}'' I'll take twelve! ''{stands upright}'' Drive one home today!
*Click on the answering machine to see more of Coach Z.
:''{Marzipan and Coach Z are at the garage sale in the same positions as before.}''
:'''MARZIPAN:''' This garage sale is more like a gar-''bahge'' sale.
:'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{leaning in from offscreen}'' DAHDAHDAHDAHDAH! Moms Only!
:'''COACH Z:''' Oh, then I'm okay to say it!
:''{Strong Bad and Marzipan look shocked and confused by Coach Z's comment.}''

==Fun Facts==
===Trivia===
*There are two messages on Marzipan's answering machine.
*According to [http://www.westegg.com/inflation/ The Inflation Calculator], A "1998 dollar" would be worth about $1.16 (as of 2005).

===Remarks===
*While it is dubious that ''any'' of the objects listed as "Great for Baby!" are appropriate for infants, the only one known to be inappropriate for them is the Helicopter - in [[Cheat Commandos Commercial]], it is said to be for "Ages 3-5".

===Goofs===
*When the camera scrolls to the left at the beginning of the "Haggler" scene, the Garage sale sign suddenly disappears just before it should go off screen.
*The image of Gooblies is obviously flipped, as you can see if you zoom in on his washing care label when Strong Sad moves out of the way, the "G" is displayed backwards.
*"Moms" in "the only joke Moms have" should be lowercase.

Senorial Day

Kvb — Wed, 01 Jun 2005 19:59:58 GMT

Kvb: IF you plan on doing this, do it right.

[[Image:senorialday.png|thumb|What are you doing just sitting around?]]

Commercials collide as both Senor Cardgage and Bubs attempt to draw people to their respective Senorial Day sales.

'''Cast (in order of appearance):''' [[Balding Man]], [[Senor Cardgage]], [[Wagon Fulla Pancakes]], {{Film|Bubs}}, {{Film|Homestar Runner}}, [[Mustachioed Homestar Runner]], [[Tire]], [[Stop Sign]], {{Film|Strong Bad}}, {{Film|Strong Sad}} (Easter egg)

'''Date:''' May 30, 2005

'''Running Time:''' 2:50

'''Page Title:''' Battle of the Network Stars!!

==Transcript==

''{Balding Man sits looking depressed in his wood-paneled living room in an aqua-green lounge chair while holding a canned cold one and watching TV. Light music plays in the background.}''

'''NARRATOR:''' Say there, "husband of the year"! What are you doing just sitting around?

''{Balding Man looks at the camera and gives a loud, long sigh.}''

'''NARRATOR:''' When you could be sitting around ''huge'' savings ''{Balding man gives a big smile}'' at the Senorial Day Tent Event Supra Sale!!! ''{The last six words are printed across the screen, and "Supra Sale" is echoed.}''

''{Balloons float up as the scene wipes to reveal Senor Cardgage standing in the Field in front of a portable tent covering the small shrub. Two strands of multicolored pennant streamers hang in front of and behind the tent.}''

'''SENOR CARDGAGE:''' Gamble around the campfire, children! It's Senor Cardgage with the Senorial Day Tent thing that guy talked about.

''{The next scene tumbles in from the center. Still in the Field, Senor Cardgage stands in front of the [[Gremlin]] with a strand of pennant streamers overhead.}''

'''SENOR CARDGAGE:''' It won't be here forever. So come see me ''{pull back to reveal the Wagon Fulla Pancakes at Senor Cardgage's feet}'' and this little dog ''{indicating the wagon}'' for vera low prices!! ''{"VERA LOW PRICES!!" flashes on the screen.}''

''{The screen shifts to a blue screen with "Tent Event" printed all over it. As the narrator names off the following years, the numbers fly across the screen.}''

'''NARRATOR:''' 2005! 2004! 1999!

''{Scene shifts back to the awning and the shrub.}''

'''SENOR CARDGAGE:''' Those were all good years. Don't let another minute go you by.

''{The screen turns to static for a moment as the channels apparently change, and we now see Bubs at his concession stand.}''

'''BUBS:''' Hey there, every peoples! Come check out my circumstance this Senorial Day Weekend for Bubsotathon!!

''{The screen pans out, and we can see a star-spangled "BUBSOTATHON!!" banner above the concession stand. Two Homestar Runners can be seen, one on each side of the stand and barely offscreen. Both throw confetti.}''

'''LEFT HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{fireworks noises}'' Pekyoo! Hgyoo! Pghyoo! Doo! Pehw! Wehw! ''{normal voice}'' Explosions! Fireworks!

''{Cut to Strong Badia. Bubs is standing next to the Stop Sign and the Tire. The Tire has been painted to read "LOW SAViNGS".}''

'''BUBS:''' ''{holding up the Tire}'' We're so ''tired'' of low savings, we're givin' 'em this boot! ''{He pulls a [[Lectric Boots|'Lectric Boot]] out from behind his back and hits the tire with it. An unseen audience groans. Bubs throws both props over his shoulder.}'' Would I lie to my own flesh and blood?

''{Homestar walks in from stage right, with false Bubs teeth drawn on his jaw in marker and a paper ring taped over his left eye.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' That's right, Bubba daddy!

''{The Tire and the Boot are seen falling behind the fence. The [[Bear-Shark]] pops up as they land. The channel changes back to Senor Cardgage, back in front of the Gremlin. Strong Bad walks up from stage right with an American football in hand.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yes, excuse me, sir. Can I have some tremendous savings? And your autograph? ''{holds up the ball}''

'''SENOR CARDGAGE:''' ''{writing on the football with a marker}'' My left name is Tremendous Savings, Miss America! ''{grabs the football and winds up to throw it, indicating for Strong Bad to go long}'' Go out for a pass!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{smiling}'' You bet! Hit me on the slant! ''{runs offscreen}''

''{Senor Cardgage pauses for a moment, then drops his arms, still holding the football.}''

'''SENOR CARDGAGE:''' Bring on down your whole fambly! We'll set up some tents ''{an image of a tent hovers on the left side of the screen}'' and hot dogs ''{an image of a hot dog hovers on the right}'' for your... babies. ''{scratching his head}'' Those like those, right?

''{Channel changes back to Bubs, who is back at his concession stand. He's wearing a pink baby bonnet and holding a rattle.}''

'''BUBS:''' We're going ''gaga'' ''{rattles the rattle}'' over slashed prices! ''{As he says this, a serrated blade emerges from the end of the rattle and the word "PRICES" appears at the bottom of the screen. He slashes "PRICES" in two with the blade. The audience groans. Bubs ducks down, then returns with a wig and a tennis racquet.}'' Our competition is a total ''racket!'' ''{The audience groans again. Bubs ducks down again and returns with a bean bag that looks vaguely like Strong Sad's head on a plate.}'' We're getting a''head'' of the rest. ''{More groans. Bubs now switches the plate for a giant frog mask.}'' I'm the hoppity-frog of values! ''{Audience says "Huh?" in unison. Bubs switches props to a rubber chicken.}'' We're holding up a novelty rubber chicken and playing a cartoony sound effect ''{He raises his left hand to cue a pair of cartoony "boing" sound effects}'' of savings!

''{Channel changes back to Senor Cardgage, who is back in front of the awning and shrub.}''

'''SENOR CARDGAGE:''' You doe NOT want to miss ''{"Doe NOT Miss Out" appears at the bottom of the screen.}'' any Senorial Day savings action!

''{Cut to file footage of an urban alley, where Senor Cardgage is sleeping in an orange sleeping bag, using his Aldi bags as a pillow. A box labeled "UNLABELED BOX" can be seen to the left. Senor Cardgage snores loudly as cars honk their horns in the background. Cut back to the Gremlin, where Senor Cardgage is still holding Strong Bad's football.}''

'''SENOR CARDGAGE:''' Wake up! Senorial Day is here with a vengeance!

''{Strong Bad returns.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{uncertain}'' Uh, Mister Senor, sir? Can I have my football back?

'''SENOR CARDGAGE:''' You bet! How 'bout I hitcha on the slant?

''{Senor Cardgage winds up to throw the ball, and Strong Bad dashes off again. After a moment's pause, Senor Cardgage again drops his arms, still holding the football. He then walks off, stage left. We cut to Strong Bad, still running in the other direction.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' I'm gonna get me a touchdown!

''{Channel changes back to Bubs.}''

'''BUBS:''' So come down around my Bubba Concession Stand—my Buh—my cassette—''{music screeches to a halt}'' Ough! I even wrote this stuff and I can't remember my own lins.

''{Another Bubs wearing devil horns and carrying a pitchfork rips open the screen.}''

'''DEVIL BUBS:''' So come on by for Bubsotathon ''{The banner from earlier comes up from the bottom of the screen}'' where you'll save like a demon, or my name ain't ''{holds up a "VERY OFFICIAL IDENTIFICATION CARD"}'' Bubs Concession Stand!

''{The channel changes to the wall of the Balding Man's living room, with ID cards that read "BACK" and "AGAIN".}

==Easter Eggs==

*When Senor Cardgage holds up Strong Bad's football the first time, click on the football to see that Senor Cardgage wrote (in very scrawly handwriting): "This pen doesn't work, small girl T. Mendous Savings"
*At the very end, click on the narrow wood panel just to the left of the AGAIN card.

:''{The Field at night. Crickets chirp in the background. Strong Sad walks on from stage left.}''

:'''STRONG SAD:''' Oh, there's nothing like going out for a lonely lurk on a lovely Spring night.

:''{Strong Bad's football flies in from off in the distance and nails Strong Sad squarely in the back of his head, knocking him over.}''

:'''STRONG SAD:''' OHGH! Somebody hit me on the slant!

==Fun Facts==
===Explanations===
*Senorial Day was released on and is a takeoff of the U.S. holiday [[Wikipedia:Memorial Day|Memorial Day]], during which there are often many much-hyped retail sales events.
*A slant pattern is an [[Wikipedia:American football|American football]] play in which a potential receiver runs across the field at an angle instead of running straight toward the end zone.

===Trivia===
*Bubs' ID card reads:
<pre>VERY OFFICIAL
IDENTIFICATION CARD

BUBS C. STAND
Entrepreneur
FREE COUNTRY USA
[SUSPENDED]
CLASS "I don't look half bad!"
F -Bubs</pre>
*If the file is viewed in .swf format, then in the scene with two Homestars, you can see that the Homestar on the right has a mustache.

===Remarks===
*If Bubs can be trusted, then we learn Bubs' full name is "Bubs Concession Stand."

===Inside References===
*The Balding Man and his sigh are from [[Senor Mortgage]].
*Senor Cardgage signs the football with a [[Fine Tip Permanent Marker]].
*Bubs wears the same [[Wikipedia:John McEnroe|John McEnroe]] costume that Homestar wore in [[3 Times Halloween Funjob]].
*Bubs holding up the fake Strong Sad head first appeared in [[Pumpkin Carve-nival]] in which Strong Sad called it, "self portrait in late October." Strong Sad's severed head appeared next in [[Fan Costume Commentary]]. Then finally, in one of the pages in [[HomestarRunner.com PAY PLUS!]], in which The Cheat serves up Strong Sad's head on a platter.
*In the email [[montage]], the Wagon Fulla Pancakes was said to have gone on to do commercial spots for used car dealerships. This explains its appearance in this cartoon, which is an obvious parody of said commercials.
*The serrated knife that Bubs uses is like the [[Stinkoman_20X6_Enemies|Hash-Haw]] from [[Stinkoman 20X6]] level 6.
*Bubs also said, "Hey there every peoples!" In his character video.

===Real-World References===
*Senor Cardgage calls Strong Bad "[[Wikipedia:Miss America|Miss America]]," which is a title given in a popular annual beauty pageant.
*"[[Wikipedia:Battle_of_the_Network_Stars|Battle of the Network Stars]]" was an annual TV special in the late 70s that pitted stars from various TV shows teamed up by network (ABC vs NBC vs CBS) competing in various olympic-style events.

Tire

Kvb — Wed, 01 Jun 2005 19:53:53 GMT

Kvb: Adding a little Filmography, I'll try looking for more.

[[Image:tire.png|thumb|The population: the Tire]]

The '''Tire''' forms the complete population of [[Strongbadia]], and was the "indigenous peoples" before the land was colonized by [[Strong Bad]]. It has earned a special status on the country's flag and anthem, and stars in two video games. Strong Bad has a security feature installed around the Tire to keep [[The Cheat]] from touching it.

The Tire is currently employed as a weatherman on Strongbadia's local newscast. It is predicted that it will win "the title" from [[Strong Mad]] in September of 2005.

Poppy the Tire is one of the [[Mount RidesPlace USA Mascots]].

What's up with this "Partial Filmography"? Was someone just too lazy/busy to look it up? [[User:Kvb|Kvb]] 19:51, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Kvb: Link'd!

[[Image:finetimepermamarker.png|thumb|The Sharpiest of Technology]] This is [[Strong Bad]]'s ultimate utility tool. It first appeared in [[suntan]], where it was the "Strong Bad [[Ab-Abber 2000]]". In [[haircut]] it is used as a "Light Pen" to suggest possible eyebrow styles. In [[car]] Strong Bad uses it to trick out his fist, and then imprint [[Homestar Runner]]'s forehead with a customized message. He then uses a white-out version of it in the email [[long pants]] to cover up parts of the email's text. In [[couch patch]] the marker appeared in Strong Sad's flashback, but it's questionable that really happened since there are four different versions of the origins of the couch patch. In [[Senorial Day]], [[Senor Cardgage]] uses it to sign an autograph on a football.

===Comments===

It has been noted that the "Light Pen" Strong Bad uses is left-handed. Many right-handed people don't realize this, but almost all pens and pencils are manufactured for right-handed use in that the text printed on them appears right-side-up when used with the right hand, but upside-down when used by the left hand. (This does not affect the way pencils or pens are used; only the orientation of the text printed on them differs.) This observation is of highly dubious relevance, but is interesting nonetheless.

Stinkoman 20X6

Kvb — Wed, 01 Jun 2005 19:41:28 GMT

Kvb: No, the blade resembles hash-haw. Not the other way around.

[[Image:stinkogame.png|thumb|Always looking for a fighting or a challenge.]]

''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]] description

'''Stinkoman 20X6''' is a side-scrolling platformer game which stars [[Stinkoman]]. This game is based on the [[Wikipedia:Mega Man Classic|classic Capcom ''Mega Man'' series]]. It also parodies the poor "Japanese to English" translations (a.k.a. "[[Wikipedia:Engrish|Engrish]]") common to video games of that era, similar to those that appear on the [[Scrolling Shooter Games Menu|current Games Menu]].

[[The Brothers Chaps]] showed it off at [[NYU Talk - 1 Mar 2005|their talk at NYU]] before it was released.
[[Image:stinkobox.png|thumb|Stinkoman 20X6 box art]]

== Easter Eggs ==
* Hover your mouse below "Controls" on the main menu to access the Instruction Booklet.
** When you click it, "loading manuél" appears briefly.
* Wait long enough at the title screen to see an [[Stinkoman 20X6 Walkthrough#Transcript|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 [http://tvwiki.sytes.net/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/SnotBubble snot bubble].
*To get level select, select continue with no data on the game. Erase those hard drives if you need to!

== Fun Facts ==

=== 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.
*This is the first complete platform game that Videlectrix have ever made, as of course [[Jonathan Howe|Jon Howe]] programmed it and composed the music, while the Chaps were simply the graphics designers.
* This is the first appearance of Strong Bad's green tongue since [[Super NES]]. In the "Game Over" screen, Stinkoman's green tongue is shown, although it's red or pink all other times you see it in the game. Though the green tongue may be due to the fact that his "stummy hurts".
**Just as well, 1-Up's "Game Over screen" has him standing with the caption "My tongue is green..."
* In the bottom right-hand corner of the PLAY GAME! screen it says "V4.0 EPISODES 1-6"
** It said "V3.0 EPISODES 1-5 THUS FAR" until May 16, 2005, when the sixth level was added.
** It said "V2.0 EPISODES 1-4" until May 9, 2005, when the fifth level was added.
** It said "V1.X EPISODES 1-3" until April 26, 2005, when the fourth level was added.
* This game used to not feature the regular links at the bottom of the screen to move to other parts of the website. But when Level 4 was added the links were added also.

=== Remarks ===
* This is the second instance of sprites modeled after 8-bit Megaman, the first instance being with Coach Z in [[Hip Hop Dance]].
*On Levels 4.1 and 4.2, Stinkoman can actually fall down in certain spots to join 1-Up, but you will eventually lose because there will be no one to press the buttons.
*In Episode 4, the Pink Cham Cham laser graphic is the same graphic used for the Saargtsson laser animation.
*1-Up jumps higher than Stinkoman. This may be due to the fact that 1-Up's level is on [[The Moon|the moon]].
* 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.
*The head of the silhouette at the end of Levels 5 and 6 appears to match the head of [[20X6 Coach Z]] in the Games menu.
*Stinkoman "breaks the [[Fourth Wall Breaks|Fourth Wall]]" by saying (in Level 5) "No way! I helped you in Level 4!"
*1-Up is slower at climbing ladders than Stinkoman is, perhaps due to his lack of visible arms.
*The meteors in Level 5 cause the game to lag for a split second when they crash. This may be done on purpose to emulate how easy it is to put stress on older game systems.
*On the first cutscene of Level 6, the game that Stinkoman is playing is probably the 5th level of this very game. You can hear the level 5 music, the dying sound, and the game over music.
*This is the first new game not to use some sort of scoring system.
*In Episode 4, when Stinkoman is facing to the right, his giant fist powerup is a left hand but when he turns around the fingers are still facing the player so it turns into a right hand. This "sprite mirroring" is common in older games to conserve memory. A notable exception is Metroid, in which Samus is always right handed.
*If you type in the adress for volume 1, 2, 3 or 4, for a split second the page title will say "Old Stinkoman Game Page R.I.P." then it will take you to the current one.

=== Goofs ===
*Manual inconsistancies:
**Kolkaryu listed under level 2, but Kolkaryu already appears in level 1.
**Old Sage is listed under level 2, but Old Sages already appear in level 1.
**Level 3 is called "Dumb Wall" on the level select screen, but it's called "Up 'n' Down" in the instruction manual.
**In Level 1 in the manual, the original version said "face treats" instead of "fave treats."
**Level 3 is the only part to have its title constantly on the top of the page. All of the other Levels' titles disappear after the first page.
**When v4 (Level 6) was first put up, The Brothers Chaps forgot to update the [[Stinkomanual]] to include Level 6. This has since been fixed.
[[Image:level1.jpg|thumb|Level 1 or Level 1.1? ]]
*In the Videlectrix catalogue, if you click Stinkoman 20X6, a screenshot of the game will appear. In the bottom left corner, it says "Level 1" and not "Level 1.1"
* When you run right and jump, you will flip as if you were running left and jumping.
*Any damage you took as Stinkoman in levels 3 and 4 will remain on 1-Up in level 5, even though they're not the same person.
**Similarly, any damage you took as 1-Up in Level 5 will remain on Stinkoman when you progress to level 6.

=== Glitches ===
[[Image:stinkogame slow.png|thumb|Glitch for Flash 6 and under.]]
* 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 Stlunko arena without Stlunko: 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.
**This glitch is now fixed. However, if you play the swf you can still play 3.4
**This again happened in level 4 when it was first released. However, this glitch has been fixed as well.
***Also, if you die once on level 4.4 there will be no ground when you return.
* 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.
[[Image:stinkoman-glitch.png|thumb|Stinkoman stands on air!]]
* If you jump at the right time at the end of a level, 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.
*When Stinkoman is about to yawn, his sprite character moves down one pixel.
[[Image:stinkogame-level22-terrell-glitch.png|thumb|Stuck Terrell on level 2.2]]
*In the beginning of level 2.2, there's a Terrell just behind a refrigerator. It seems that it's possible for the Terrell to get "stuck" just to the right of the fridge. It will continue to hop up and down (without moving horizontally at all), and Stinkoman can pass through the Terrell without becoming injured. It also becomes impossible to kill.
**Another Terrell (the one above the second burner) on Level 2.1 can get stuck, also.
*In level 1.1, if you don't kill the Jaro by the first wall and instead just go past it and the wall under the second browntant, the Jaro will be jumping in mid-air.
*If you use a seek bar, then it is possible to access level Undefined.Undefined. This level is just a grey hole, which Stinkoman is doomed to fall down. Stinkoman's Life Number is always either 8, or not there. Regardless, after he falls down once, the game over screen appears. It is just like a boss arena- the music is from the boss levels, and Stinkoman even shouts "Are you asking for a challenge?" as you enter. The items counter is also shown, as it is in level 3.1.
*In level 4.2, if a and s are pressed at the same time as you're falling into the level from the left, Stinkoman will float instead of walk.
[[Image:PinkChamCham.jpg|thumb|A Pink Cham Cham firing only the left laser]]
*In level 4.2, if you approach a Pink Cham Cham from the left and see only the left side of it as it fires, when you approach towards the right to see the rest of it, it will only have fired the laser on the left side.
*If you die at the beginning of 5.2 before the ship at the top flies by, it will fly by on the Keep Try screen.
**To try this out, get yourself down to one Energy before leaving 5.1
***This also happens on level 5.1.
*If you kill a boss, but die by one of its shots, the "Game Over screen" appears, but the cutscene appears afterwards and you continue with one life gone.
*A Jaro on one of the conveyor belts on level 5.1 can go behind the wall.

=== Real-World References ===
*There are many references to the ''Mega Man'' game series:
** The sprites used for Stinkoman are patterned after 8-bit ''Mega Man'' sprites, and the same applies to the enemy Poorbt and Astromund.
** In fact, the poses of the [[Videlectrix Mascot]] in the logo are taken directly from the NES ''Mega Man'' series.
** The sounds of the text appearing in the cinematics are also the same as in ''Mega Man''.
***The chime noise for the main menu is taken from the first ''Mega Man X'' game.
** In ''Mega Man 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 Mega Man taking the power of defeated bosses.
** At the start of the first side-scrolling stage the little theme played is very similar to the old ''Mega Man'' starting theme. In fact, the whole soundtrack was probably meant to sound like ''Mega Man'' game music.
** Stinkoman being unable to clear the wall using his normal jump is also a joke from ''Mega Man''.
** 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 (namely ''Mega Man: The Power Battles'') Mega Man, Proto Man, and Bass would flash onto the screen in a similar way.
**The spikes that can kill Stinkoman instantly (Old Sage) are a reference to similar spikes which were placed under moving platforms in Mega Man games and which would also kill Mega Man instantly.
** The dropping platforms are a reference to the original ''Mega Man'', in which similar platforms were found in Guts Man's stage.
**In one portion of level 5.2, if you jump off of the top of a platform, you will see a planet that has a C-shaped portion on its left side. This portion bears a striking similarity to the stylized C in the title of "Chrono Trigger".
** Only three 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. Even in Level 4, Stinkoman can only drop three clusters of rocks onscreen when pounding his giant fist.
***Early sprite-based video games suffered this fate as well. Limiting the number of sprites on screen prevented slow down.
** Greggos are similar to Mettaurs (also known as Metools, Mets, or Hard Hats), who were also invincible while ducking.
** Stinkoman fights like Mega Man X by shooting at enemies while 1-Up fights like Zero with acrobatic melee attacks.

* Stinkoman's becoming bored when idle is an old gag first found in the old PC game ''[[Wikipedia:Boulder Dash|Boulder Dash]]'', later emulated in ''[[Wikipedia:Sonic the Hedgehog (Genesis)|Sonic the Hedgehog]]'' and countless other titles.
* Right after Tampo blows up in the cinematic, you can hear the same sound that is played in Metroid when Samus phases in.
* Stlunko, 404 is a reference to the 404 error that browsers give when a webpage cannot be found.
* Stlunko is a combination of Gohdan from ''Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker'' and Mazaal from ''Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap''.
* Hold B is a reference to ''Super Mario Bros'' and a few other Nintendo games in which if you held down B, you would run faster or power up your weapon. In this game, holding S (which is like a B button) allows you to rapid fire.
* Stinkoman doing a forward flip may be a reference to the ''Metroid'' series, where Samus does very similar flips.
* The fade-in is a reference to NES games that had large images in the background fade in. Because the NES did not have many colors to choose from, there would be weird color glitches with some games when they'd have something fade in.
* The first boss, Tampo, is similiar to the final boss of ''Star Fox 64'', which was the giant, floating brain of Andross, which had the same weak point (medulla).
* The manual mentioning this game has no "weepy princess crap" is a reference to the Super Mario series, the Legend of Zelda series, and a few other games where you had to rescue a helpless princess.
** Likewise, Pan Pan being kidnapped references the countless games which featured a random character being kidnapped, such as in Donkey Kong Country 2 or 3.
* The bulky, muscular Stinkoman on the box art is likely a reference to the first and second ''Mega Man'' games, where the original American version of the game's box art had a big, muscular Mega Man that looked nothing like the character in the game.
**This problem wasn't exclusive to the Megaman series. Almost every game localized for the U.S had new box art made for it. This continued right up till the days of the SNES.
*The pose with the large fist is a direct reference to the old NES game Battletoads.
*There are a vast number of seemingly unexplainable appearances of letter P in NES-era games. Ranging from P-blocks, P-wings, P-gauges etc. in ''Super Mario Bros. 3'', to the Arm Cannon/Mega Buster character designation in ''Mega Man 2''. This may explain the collectible Ps in level 3.
**P most likely stands for "power" in these games.
*Jaro's explosion appears to be modeled after many of the character explosions in ''Rad Gravity'' for the [[Wikipedia:Nintendo Entertainment System|NES]].
* Lundsford is a reference to the symbol and/or mascot of [http://www.georgianaturalgas.com/ Georgia Natural Gas]. Billboards featuring this symbol and character can be seen in many places in the Atlanta area where The Brothers Chaps live.
*Saargtsson is most likely a reference to [http://www.zeldauniverse.net/content/view/62/46/ Moldorm] from ''The Legend of Zelda'' video games, who was almost exactly the same in terms of appearance, and having a weakness in its tail.
**This is more accurately a combination of Moldorm and [http://www.flyingomelette.com/kidicarus/kidicarusenemies.html Hewdraw] from ''Kid Icarus''.
*1-Up's spin kick bears a resemblance to the [[wikipedia:Street Fighter|''Street Fighter'']] move "Tatsumaki Senpuu Kyaku" (otherwise known as the Hurricane Kick), which Homestar uses in [[dangeresque 3]].
* The [[Wikipedia:Piedmont_(United States)|Piedmont]] region of the United States is the area between the Atlantic coastal plain and the Appalachian mountains. Atlanta, home of the Brothers Chaps, lies in this region. [[Wikipedia:Piedmont|Piedmont]] is also a region in Northern Italy.
*The fact that Gaspeau (red) and Frotzer (blue) are almost the same exact enemies may be a reference to the old Zelda games where an enemy could be red or blue and that the blue version of the enemy was always harder.
**This was common practice among sprite-based games. To get the most use out of the graphics ROMs, designers would re-use game graphics by drawing them with any of several palettes. An object drawn with a different palette from the same graphic looks identical to the original except for its colors, like Gaspeau and Frotzer, or like the normal Browntant and the blue variant on Level 6.
*The "pink cloud zone" in level 6 could be a reference to countless video games with cloud zones, but is most likely to Earthbound, where the the sixth Your Sanctuary location (in Dalaam) is called Pink Cloud.
*Liekand could be a reference to Super Mario Bros. 2 where the boss of the 4th level was a flame wearing sunglasses called "Fryguy", along with the fat mouse refering to the first boss, "Mouser". The bubble sprite used for Liekand's attack looks like the same sprite used for Wart's attack in Super Mario Bros. 2.
*Firey-Hot is a lot like the fire coming out of the cannons in the airship levels on Super Mario Bros. 3.
*Gaspeau's decription in the Stinkomanual "In like a lion and out like Gaspeau" refers to the saying, "In like a lion, out like a lamb."
*Level four is a reference to many such levels in classic period games, (now often called "protect-the-idiot levels"), in which a character would keep walking with no A.I. at all--right towards all sorts of enemies and such traps! Many gamers became annoyed with this, as it would be hard to protect this weakling, and if it died, they died. This design is still used today. "Protect-the-idiot levels" are implemented in all kinds of current games, from the escort missions in Resident Evil all the way to the microgames in the WarioWare series.
