"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 Strongbadia.
- Collect the buxx.
- Collect turbos to speed up the tire.
- Collect power...downs? (little back arrows) 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 propped up against the cinder block, and then add up your points with Strong Mad. You also get a trophy and an extra life at the end of each level.

Easter Egg
- If you collect every single dollar, and never die a single time up to the point where you've obtained exactly 25,000 points, you will be rewarded with a secret screen. It shows two scantily clad women (like in a NASCAR race) holding up the Cheat, and the Cheat appears to have a pizza trophy of some sort. There is also the message "Yeah, you won."
Fun Facts
Remarks
- This game was originally an Easter egg in monster truck, but it is now featured on the Games menu. The original version only had one level.
- The title reads "Awexome Cross 98," but to the right in smaller print it reads "1987."
- A version of this game was created for the Game Boy Advance, available here
Glitches
- Sometimes, on the old version, when you jump and get hit at the same time, the music stops, you stay in one place, and when you jump, you don't go anywhere.
- If you look closely enough, you can see there is a speed difference between the top row (the pickups) and the bottom row. (the obstacles) The pickups don't move to the left as quickly as the obstacles.
Real-World References
- The title screen resembles the game "Indianapolis 500."
- The sound effects for jumping, crashing and collecting buxx are taken from the game "Super Mario Brothers" for the NES.
- The sound effect for Strong Mad slapping the Tire between levels comes from the arcade game "Qix".
Fast Forward
- Strong Bad refers to the pizza trophy as a possible reward for The Cheat's cartoon in crazy cartoon.
