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 Strong Badia.
- 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 women in bikinis holding up The Cheat, who is holding a pizza trophy, and the message "yeah, you won." appears on the screen.
