"You control a little yellow dog-thing stuffed inside a tire in this sidescroller. Get to the end and a trophy could be yours." —Videlectrix
Awexome Cross is a game of speed and skill. Playing as The Cheat, you must ride the Tire through an obstacle course in Strong Badia. It is based off of the event Awexome Cross '98 that appeared in monster truck.
- Collect much buxx.
- Collect turbos to speed up the tire.
- Collect power...downs if you're going too fast.
The obstacles are General Tso's Chicken, cinder blocks, syrup bottles, and boxes. If you hit an obstacle, you lose a life. At the end of each level, you launch off the Stop Sign, and then add up your points with Strong Mad. You also get a trophy and an extra life at the end of each level. There are a total of seven levels.
