[edit] Menus

[edit] Main Menu

The Main Menu

The 1980s video game theme runs throughout the entire DVD's menus.

{Cut to static on-screen and the screen distorting for several seconds before coming into full focus. The main menu has "Everything Else, vol. 3" flashing, the year 1982 and poorly-rendered versions of Homestar and Strong Bad's heads. The colors will cycle through like an Atari 2600 game. After a while, if the viewer fails to make a decision on what to see, a Puppet Stuff scene activates.}

{The screen starts to distort and a high pitched whine is heard, like it does at the start of the DVD}

STRONG BAD: {off-screen} What the crap!?

{Cut to the Atari 2600 with the cartridge: "everything else vol. 3" inserted. Strong Bad removes the cartridge, causing the tone to stop.}

STRONG BAD: What's wrong with this stupid game?

HOMESTAR RUNNER: What's wrong here, Strong Bad?

STRONG BAD: For some reason, my used copy of a twenty year old video game won't work.

HOMESTAR RUNNER: Oh, them ol' game tapes? You gots to blow in 'em, like this! {blows a raspberry into the cartridge}

STRONG BAD: Ew...

HOMESTAR RUNNER: Now give it a shot.

STRONG BAD: Okay.

{Strong bad inserts the cartridge back into the Atari 2600. A zapping sound is heard and the screen flashes. The screen returns to the menu, with smoke coming out of Strong Bad's head.}

STRONG BAD: WAAAH!

HOMESTAR RUNNER HEAD ON SCREEN: See, I told you it'd work.

STRONG BAD HEAD ON SCREEN: Urrg, pixel... burger...

{The smoke disappears and the cycle repeats.}

[edit] Section Menus

Each of the individual sections' menus, like the main menu, are themed after early 1980s video games. Each menu also features music reminiscent of early '80s video games.

• Toons: A loop of Homestar running in The Field and jumping over the following (in order): The Stick, a glass of melonade, Marshie, a 2-liter bottle of Mountain Dew, a floppy diskette and the Soapbox. Music is based on the intro song.
• Shorts: The King of Town atop his castle dropping turkey legs off. Music is based on the King of Town DVD theme.
• Holidays: The Cheat running around a winter-themed maze (complete with snow and pine trees) collecting various power-ups. He collects two of each (in order): a candy cane and a present, a burger and a pair of glasses, and an Atari 2600 joystick and a football. Mystery music.
• Other Features: The heads of Strong Bad and Homestar shoot squares at each other and hide behind floating shields. No music.
• Bonus: The Limozeen spaceship shooting guitars and picking up ladies with a tractor beam. Music is based on Because, It's Midnite.

[edit] Fun Facts

Good graphics are now just a dipswitch away

[edit] Trivia

• This is the first Everything Else DVD to include a Play All feature on the main menu.
• The screenshots inside the case are rendered in Atari 2600 graphics rather than the usual Flash.

[edit] Remarks

• The H*R logo that is typically used to access the Easter eggs in any toon is rendered in pixelated style.

[edit] Inside References

• The jacket picture, which is shown when the DVD is stopped, refers to the Peasant's Quest Preview Easter egg.
• The Videlectrix mascot's animations (and music) are directly lifted from Population: Tire.
• The main menu claims that this was released in 1982.

[edit] Real-World References

• The case is modeled after the cases of video games produced by Activision in the early 1980s.
• The Shorts menu is based on the Activision game Kaboom!.
• The Holidays menu is modeled after Dig Dug.
• The Other Features menu appears to be a cross between Pong and Warlords.
• The Bonus menu depicts a scenario similar to both Defender and Scramble.

[edit] Fast Forward

• The Bonus screen later becomes footage of a mini-game that can be played in Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People Episode 3: Baddest of the Bands under the name "Limozeen's Hot Babelien Odyssey".
• The menus for SBCG4AP Collector's DVD would also be done in the style of Atari 2600.
