Awexome Cross

From Homestar Runner Wiki

"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 if you're going too fast.

The obstacles are General Tso's Chicken, cinderblocks, 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.

Easter Eggs

• 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. 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. When you jump, you remain where you are in the air.
• 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
