Button Effects

  • Games — A poster saying "A Trip to Hawaii!" appears. "Now, time for our lightning round. We call it Games." A sign composed of flashing lights reading "GAMES" appears in the background and music is heard.
  • Characters — A chair with a sign that says "$??" appears. "So Characters, you were in a movie recently." {leans toward the 'camera'} "Tell us about that."
  • Downloads — A golden statue of The Cheat appears. "My next guest is an extremely talented webpage. Please welcome Downloads!" Pom Pom bounces past wearing a name tag that says "downloads" while music plays.
  • Store — "But if you guess correctly, you'll win... a new store!" The background lifts, revealing the Gremlin.
  • Email — The Blender appears, and a buzzer is heard. "No, I'm sorry. The correct answer was 'email'." A "wrong" sound effect is heard in the background and "E-mail" is displayed in a white font.
