50 times cooler than Snake Boxer 2!

Snake Boxer 5 (or Snake Boxer V) is one of the minigames in Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People:Homestar Ruiner, accessible by using the Atari 2600 (referred to in-game as the "FunMachine") in Strong Bad's Room. Strong Bad comments that it is "so much better than the unfortunate Snake Boxer 4: Lady Snake Parade" and "fifty times cooler than Snake Boxer 2: The Biting of Boxer Joe". Gameplay resembles that of Boxing for the Atari 2600. The Homestar Ruiner gameplay video "Around the Field" shows an updated cover of the Snake Boxer 5 manual, which features the Videlectrix logo. This is the first confirmation that Snake Boxer 5 was made by Videlectrix.

The game has an unlockable cheat code, which is unlocked by finding all the pages of Strong Bad's long-lost manual. According to Strong Bad, it unlocks "Snake Boxer 5's Super-Secret Forbidden mode". In the Forbidden Mode, you play as another, larger snake. Instead of punching, the snake lunges with the attack key. The guard key draws the snake back instead of defending, but holding the button down allows your snake to breathe fire, doing more damage.

On May 9, 2008, Telltale Games announced a contest to come up with Snake Boxer 5's tagline. According to this forum post, the winning taglines will not be used in the game, but the winners' names will.

Fun Facts

  • Snake Boxing is a style of Chinese martial arts. Practitioners imitate the movements of snakes with their fists rather than actually fighting against snakes.
