Fun Facts

Remarks

• In the Strong Bad Email video games, when the rhino gets mad and charges, Strong Bad moves out of the way, yet, in the real game, you cannot move out of the way.

Goofs

• The score is drawn in a normal serif font instead of the pixelated font used everywhere else.

Inside References

• On the cover box it says "For the Super Funmachine" which is a reference to Secret Collect's cover that said "For the Funmachine". This is also related to Nintendos and Super Nintendos.
• The snakes' sound effect is used in the cartoon That A Ghost, in which spiders make it. This sound effect is taken from the Skulltulas in Ocarina of Time.

Real-World References

• This game appears to be a parody of a minigame (Feed the Dragons) that is in the Playstation RPG Chrono Cross. The sound effect the rhino makes, and the way it turns red when Strong Bad fails to feed it in time are identical to this game. (The sound effect is actually a low note played using the General MIDI instrument "fret noise.")
• "Don't Tread on the Snakes" is a reference to the American Revolutionary flag with the caption "Don't Tread on Me." See Carol.
• The page title refers to the old arcade game Sinistar, where one of the title character's sound bites was "I hunger!"
