| + | '''Stinkoman''' is [[Strong Bad]] as he might appear in a Japanese cartoon. He is an [[Wikipedia:amalgam|amalgam]] of [[Wikipedia:anime|anime]] stereotypes, and is obsessed with challenging and fighting. He seems more than willing to eat dirt, since he has done so on more than one occasion. |
| | | | |
| - | '''Stinkoman''' (occasionally spelled '''Stinko Man''') is [[Strong Bad]]'s [[20X6]] counterpart. He was introduced January 6, 2003 in the [[Strong Bad Email]] [[japanese cartoon]], serving as a parody of common {{w|Manga iconography|anime character design clichés}}. A sci-fi battler from the futuristic [[Planet K]], Stinkoman is vociferously obsessed with [[challenge]]s and fighting.
| + | In the [[Strong Bad Email]]: [[japanese cartoon]], he is referred to as "Stinkoman K 20X6". |
| | | | |
| - | His trademark attack is the "[[double deuce]]", which shows him holding his [[Lack of Visible Body Parts|fingerless]] fists in front of himself and shouting "DOUBLE DEUUUUUUUCE!!!" while a glowing aura surrounds him. | + | His only [[Halloween Costumes|halloween costume]] (or "[[Wikipedia:cosplay|cosplay]]") was [[Wikipedia:Speed Racer|Speed Racer]]. |
| | | | |
| - | Stinkoman employs technology to arrange, engage in, and practice for his challenges. He has a [[Cell Phones|cell phone]] which he uses to challenge [[Marzipan]] in [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 8.0]]. When the distance to his foes is too far, he whistles for the [[Stinkoman 20X6 Playable Characters#Stinkowing|Stinkowing]] for transportation. Stinkoman uses his friend [[Vector Strong Bad]] as his "training simulator", as seen in [[alternate universe]], but when not preparing for upcoming challenges he relaxes by playing the NES at [[Stinkoman Headquarters]].
| + | [[Homestar Runner|Homestar]] called [[Strong Bad]] Stinkoman in Strong Bad Email: [[island]]. |
| | | | |
| - | Stinkoman also stars in the [[game]] [[Stinkoman 20X6]], the largest and most complex game on [[homestarrunner.com]]. | + | Several of Stinkoman's more famous lines, such as "Correct me if I'm wrong, but are you asking for a challeeeeeeeeenge?!" (seen in [[Under Construction]]) or "No way, you're just a kid! Maybe when you're older." (seen in [[japanese cartoon]]), are suprisingly similar to those said by Tengu Man, a [[Wikipedia:Boss (video games)|boss enemy]] from [http://www.gamefaqs.com/console/psx/game/20148.html Mega Man 8], such as "Ha, it's only a kid" and "Are you a worthy challenge?", both in content and voice intonation. |
| | | | |
| - | == Character Design ==
| + | *'''Debut:''' [[japanese cartoon]] |
| - | He is an amalgam of [[anime]] clichés. This includes having [[TVTropes:Main/AnimeHair|spiky blue hair]]; [[TVTropes:Main/BigAnimeEyes|shiny big eyes]]; and a mouth that is very small when closed, very large when open, and out of sync with his speech (a parody of [[Deliberately Poor English|poor dubbing]]).
| + | *[[:Category:Stinkoman Filmography|Complete Filmography]] |
| - | | + | [[Category: 20X6 Characters]] |
| - | [[Image:Mega Man & Stinkoman.PNG|thumb|left|Stinkoman vs. Mega Man]]
| + | |
| - | Various facets of Stinkoman's design refer specifically to characters in real-world {{w|Japanese popular culture}}. In particular, Stinkoman is very similar in build to the NES incarnation of {{w|Mega Man (character)|Mega Man}}, who also had blue hair at one point. In fact, Stinkoman's sprite in ''Stinkoman 20X6'' is a modified version of the original Mega Man sprite. Elements of Stinkoman's design also recall {{w|Astro Boy (character)|Astro Boy}}, a major influence on Mega Man. Stinkoman's lines, "Are you asking for a challenge?!" and "No way, you're just a kid! Maybe when you're older!" are very similar in both content and intonation to messages spoken by the ''{{w|Mega Man 8}}'' boss Tengu Man: "Are you worthy of my challenge?" and "It's just a kid, don't make me laugh!".
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | When Stinkoman grits his teeth, [[Wikipedia:Plus and minus signs|plus signs (+)]] make up the cracks between them. This illustration style was common in classic Nintendo arcade art.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | Stinkoman's condescending, dismissive attitude to the younger "kid" [[1-Up]] is similar to how Kaneda treats Tetsuo in the anime movie ''[[Akira]]''; his voice is somewhat similar to [[wikipedia:Cam Clarke|Cam Clarke's]] depiction of Kaneda in the 1989 dub. The 20X6-''Akira'' connection appears again in an Easter egg in [[3 Times Halloween Funjob]].
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | His charging "Double Deuce" energy attack, as well as his muscular form that makes tiny rocks float out of the ground, is similar to various powered-up attacks seen in the ''{{wp|Dragon Ball}}'' series.

| - | == Fun Facts ==
| + | |
| - | {{Spoken HRWiki|Stinkoman.ogg|1 January 2007|oldid=399966}}
| + | |
| - | * The name "Stinkoman" was first heard in the email [[island]]: [[Homestar Runner]] used it as a nickname for Strong Bad.
| + | |
| - | * As [[japanese cartoon]] was released one week before [[dragon]], Stinkoman's birthday is exactly one week before [[Trogdor]]'s [[Trogday (holiday)|birthday]].
| + | |
| - | *Stinkoman is occasionally drawn with a [[green tongue]]. | + | |
| - | * Stinkoman's favorite foods appear to be chicken soup with dumplings, [[bread]], [[Power Crunch|power crunches]], [[pudding]], and [[prawns]], as seen in Stinkoman 20X6.
| + | |
| - | ** Stinkoman has a strange habit of eating dirt: in [[Under Construction]] when he tastes what he thinks is dirt (although it turns out to be pudding), and in [[time capsule]] he eats "four hundred bites of dirt" despite finding the taste unappealing.
| + | |
| - | * Most of Stinkoman's early appearances were accompanied by theme music: a cover of the track "Sunset Coastline" from the [[Nintendo|NES]] racing game ''{{wp|Rad Racer}}'', occasionally with lyrics consisting mostly of the words "Challenge" and "Fighting" repeated.
| + | |
| - | ** A full, original "[[Theme from Stinkoman]]" was written by [[Paul and Storm]], featuring interjections from Stinkoman himself alongside the lyrics. Although {{prs|1340869550020190211|20|Dec|2020|alt=written in "like 2003"}}, it went unreleased until 2020.
