[edit] Remarks

• The controls for the arms refer to the viewer's left and right, not Bubs's.
• Strong Bad has unusual proportions and only one arm.

[edit] Glitches

• When "Legs" is set to #1 or #4, the legs will be temporarily disconnected from Bubs.
• When "Legs" is set to #7, Bubs's eyes and mouth will be reversed when he leans to the side, as shown in the image above.
• When choosing a song in the Flash file, and then playing the song again, the songs will overlap.

[edit] Inside References

• The "Banjo" sound was later replaced by the synthesizer music from little questions.

[edit] Fast Forward

• Bubs uses moves from this game in the dance contest in replacement and his character video, as well as having his left arm stuck in one movement in virus.
• Bubs mentions in No Hands On Deck! that he "likes to dance" and then breaks out in the spin and flip.
  • A few of Bubs' dance moves also appear in nightlife.
• Bubs is seen dancing with the caption "Still Dang Dancin'!" in a fake thumbnail in the YouTube version of Flash is Dead!
