Fun Facts
Trivia
- This is the first main page to have Homestar in his regular clothes.

- Homestar's propeller is the propeller from his old design. His mouth is also from an earlier design, which would not be fixed until Main Page 16.
Remarks
- The Yello Dello is falling at the same speed as Homestar.
Goofs
- Sometimes when Homestar stops falling, the propeller on his hat is still blurred.
- When Strong Bad is singing, his lips aren't moving.
- Strong Bad's line gets cut off before he should finish singing, making it sound like he's saying "balloo".
- When the mouse is moved off Downloads, Homestar's star goes down, and then pops back up for a second.
- When Homestar reverses direction, his propeller continues to move in the same cycle. However, it should start spinning in the opposite direction.
