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

Yeah, you won.
  • 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.

Fun Facts

  • A version of this game was created for the Game Boy Advance, available here.

Glitches

  • In the old version, it is possible to get stuck in the air by jumping and hitting an obstacle at the same time.
  • The pickups and the obstacles move at different speeds.

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".
