Name

When did TBC ever call him "1-up Extra Man"? Someone please provide a link to wherever they said this. --Clever Ben 17:47, 22 Dec 2004 (MST)

I've never seen TBC call him that, but "1up" is the entry immediately following "stinkoman" in weeklies.xml. -- Cyrius 20:43, 17 Jan 2005 (MST)

I've heard the fact before (a long time ago, in fact); that it is in weeklies.xml confirms it enough for my tastes. --Jay 20:46, 17 Jan 2005 (MST)

Where'd we get extraman from, though? --Gafaddict 22:15, 12 Mar 2005 (MST)

The games menu calls him "H", not 1-up. --198.37.16.25 15:06, 23 Mar 2005 (MST)

Yet it also calls Stinkoman "SB". --Trogga 03:34, 31 Mar 2005 (MST)

His name is 1-Up. Play the 20X6 game, and you'll see that. --acekirby13 16:10, 23 Mar 2005 (MST)

I'm stumbling upon this conversation months later, but I see that nobody's really answered the question. Why, on the article page, is he called "1-Up the extra man" instead of just "1-Up"? Every time somebody tries to fix it, it gets reverted. The only reference to this I can find is one instance in the Stinkomanual, and that seems more like a throwaway line than anything. Can someone shed some light on this? — It's dot com 23:30, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I've heard that he was called "1-Up Extraman" (minus the "the") in an interview, and I heard this LONG prior to 1-Up's official name debut in this game. --Jay (Gobble) 23:34, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Okay, but where is this interview? Is there a transcript available to read? Even supposing it's true, does that make it canon? It seems like "1-Up the extra man" is like saying "Pan Pan the Giant Panda" or "Stinkoman the guy with blue hair". — It's dot com 23:52, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Frankly, I'm not sure which interview it is. I heard it long before Stinkoman (the game) came out, but second-hand. Still, it fits what is in this game. --Jay (Gobble) 00:32, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Meh, it fits, sort of, but I still don't see how that isolated, Engrish-style reference elevates "the extra man" to be part of his name. — It's dot com 00:46, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)

You did not read my post, did you? --Jay (Gobble) 00:47, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Anyway, this was the best that I could find, though I'm not sure it's the right interview (it refers to 1-Up by both names.) --Jay (Gobble) 00:56, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Didn't read your post? What? This coming from the person who doesn't read my STUFF votes?   ;)

I said that because I was talking about an interview, and you were still talking about the Stinkomanual. --Jay (Gobble) 06:51, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)

When I said "it fits, sort of", I was referring to the interview. My wording was awkward, because I moved on to the Stinkomanual without a good transition, and that was confusing. Still, it's a silly question to ask somebody if they read your post. :) — It's dot com 07:03, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Seriously, I read your post (and that interview), but maybe I was unclear, so I'll spell it out: Mike saying "It’s either Extra Man or One Up" fits with the line in the Stinkomanual; that is, I can see how the former inspired the latter, but I what I don't get is how an obscure, non-canon interview combined with an intentionally poorly written, uncapitalized, throwaway reference in the manual makes 1-Up's name anything more than "1-Up". I say uncapitalized because if the manual read, "1up the Extra Man", I could accept it as part of the name, but I think it's just a description—if 1-Up weren't getting in the way on that level, Stinkoman wouldn't have to protect him. He's literally an extra man. — It's dot com 01:31, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Like I said, I don't think that was really the interview in question (I'm pretty sure the "1-Up Extraman" thing predates many things mentioned in that article - for instance, The Cheat Commandos.) It was just the best I could find. --Jay (Gobble) 06:51, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)

That's kinda my point. We don't really have enough to go on. If this were a fun fact, "the extra man" would be declined with severe prejudice. — It's dot com 07:03, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Deletion

Why is this being deleted? Does the new Stinkoman game confirm that his name is 1up? Aurora Szalinski 11:45, 21 Mar 2005 (MST)

I think that must be the reason (watch the intro) - but shouldn't it be a redirect instead? --Jay 11:46, 21 Mar 2005 (MST)

I've fixed this. The article should have been moved, not deleted. -- Tom 12:23, 21 Mar 2005 (MST)

20X6 Homestar?

Is it really nessecary to say that we used to call him 20X6 Homestar? It's okay to say when he was first officially named, but I don't think the old name is nessecary, as it isn't even related to anything officially H*R, just stuff from the wiki. --Joshua 15:32, 25 Mar 2005 (MST)

It's not even necessary. Changed it. -- tomstiff 25 Mar 2005

1-UP-UP-UP-UP-UP-UP

I like 1-UP,but how come when I image search"1-up" alls I get are green mushrooms?-BOBLAND

You're the one who made that nonsensical thing on Talk:20X6 Coach Z, right? Well, 1-Ups are "extra lives" in video games, duh. The Mario series makes them look like green mushrooms. --thatkidsam 19:37, 15 May 2005 (UTC)

SORRY:(

Well,I'm sorry.I just don't own a gameboy.:(-BOBLAND

Or a Ninendo, or a Super Nintendo, or a Nintendo 64, or a Gamecube, or a DS, or... ;) --Jay (Talk) 21:29, 16 May 2005 (UTC)
