'''Stinkoman [[20X6]]''' is a side-scrolling platformer game which stars [[Stinkoman]]. This game is based on the [[Wikipedia:Mega Man Classic|classic Capcom ''Mega Man'' series]]. It also parodies the [[Wikipedia:Engrish|poor "Japanese to English" translations]] common to video games of that era, similar to those that appear on the [[Scrolling Shooter Games Menu|current Games Menu]].

'''Stinkoman [[20X6]]''' is a side-scrolling platformer game which stars {{Film|Stinkoman}}. Based on the {{w|Mega Man Classic|classic}} ''[[Mega Man]]'' games, Stinkoman travels through distinctive sci-fi worlds and faces a gauntlet of foes to save his friend [[Pan Pan]] from the villainous [[Z Sabre]]. The game further parodies Japanese video games of the {{w|third generation of video game consoles}} with writing done in the manner of [[Deliberately Poor English|poor Japanese to English translations]] common to video games of that era.

===Story===
 +
[[File:trylevel1.PNG|thumb|Challenge the fighting!]]
 +
The game starts with Stinkoman winning a challenge against a robot named [[Stinkoman 20X6 Enemies and Items#tampo|Tampo]], which makes him want to go home. Upon arrival, [[1-Up]] informs him that [[Pan Pan]] has been kidnapped; however, Stinkoman ignores this in favor of challenging [[Stinkoman 20X6 Enemies and Items#brody|Brody]], whose bone caused him to choke on his chicken soup. He then takes a detour over a short wall, which happens to be a robot named [[Stinkoman 20X6 Enemies and Items#stlunko|Stlunko]]; Stinkoman beats it and takes its stone fist as a powerup.
-
==== Levels 4-8 ====
+
Seeing that Stinkoman has no interest in rescuing Pan Pan, 1-Up goes out to rescue him on his own. He takes Stinkoman's [[Power Crunch]] (a cassette tape) through the Lava Zone, prompting Stinkoman to follow him, protect it, and ultimately trade it for his stone fist, which ends up [[Deliberately Poor English|gone to shreds]] in a fight with a lava snake named [[Stinkoman 20X6 Enemies and Items#saargtsson|Saargtsson]]. While the Power Crunch remains intact, the journey proves unsuccessful in rescuing Pan Pan, prompting 1-Up to set out from [[Stinkoman Headquarters]] once again. Stinkoman refuses to help a second time, so 1-Up goes to [[the moon]] alone. This attempt ends even worse than the last one, as 1-Up ends up carried off by the same silhouette that kidnapped Pan Pan.
-
* This game used to lack the gray navbar at the bottom of the screen to move to other parts of the website. But when Level 4 was added the links were added also.
+
-
* In the beginning of level 6, in the cutscene when Stinkoman is playing the game the music is the same as the moon level. When he gets Game Over it is also the same music you get when it's Game Over. He might be playing Stinkoman 20X6!
+
-
* The quality of the music in Level 7 onward is higher than the other ones, resulting in sharper sound.
+
Stinkoman finally begins showing some concern for 1-Up, taking a brief moment to wonder how he's doing, before taking a vacation to the Pink Cloud Zone for recreational challenges. It's soon revealed that the shadowy kidnapper has been watching him. This figure tries to kill Stinkoman by pressing a red button that sends him to the Ice Zone; however, he quickly realizes that he can keep moving to survive the cold. The figure retaliates by trapping Stinkoman sad inside a wall; this doesn't work either, as Stinkoman promptly blasts a section out of the wall and escapes.
-
*When world 8/-0 was first released, the Poorbt at the beginning of level -0.1 came from the right side of the screen. It now comes from the left.
+
-
**With the release of version 7.1, it comes from the right again.
+
-
==== Level 9 ====
+
At the end of the glitchy Negative Zone, Stinkoman defeats the "pile of junk" [[Stinkoman 20X6 Enemies and Items#ekersby|Ekersby]], and finds that one of its eyes is a device showing 1-Up and Pan Pan's whereabouts: the end of [[Stinkoman 20X6 Walkthrough Level 10|level 10]], where the red button is. This leads him to believe that they were the ones who red buttoned him, and finally heads off to level 10 for revenge. His destination (an evil fortress) is surrounded by an evil jungle, so he flies through it on his mostly cool ship, the [[Stinkoman 20X6 Playable Characters|Stinkowing]]. The shadowy figure launches a fleet in retaliation, including [[Stinkoman 20X6 Enemies and Items#harvax xvii|Harvax XVII]], a robotic gangster full of prawns. This backfires on the shadowy figure; not only does Stinkoman defeat Harvax, but he eats the prawns inside, causing him to fall asleep at the fortress's doorstep while the figure grows impatient. 1-Up grows a prodigious beard and Pan Pan has a hundred babies.
-
*Version 7 enabled the menus to be navigated with either the mouse or keyboard.
+
-
*When version 7 was released, Stinkoman's punches changed from the usual pattern. They used to fly forwards a small bit, while falling slightly, and then disappear. However, it seems they now have much the same traits as the lasers the ship fires, heading almost straight forward without any hindrance.
+
-
**Because of this, you can kill the Greggo at the beginning of 1.2 by shooting repeatedly as you fall into the level.
+
-
*When level 9 was first released, your number of shields would remain constant after losing a life. This meant that you could hoard shields if you had lives to spare, or that you could use up all your shields on one life and have none on the next. This has since been changed: after losing a life, your shield count always resets to 3.
+
Reaching the fortress's inner sanctum, Stinkoman finds 1-Up and Pan Pan and comes face to face with the shadowy kidnapper, revealed to be [[Z Sabre]]. Z Sabre attempts to destroy Stinkoman so that he can become "the guy", but 1-Up tosses Stinkoman his Power Crunch, powering him up and allowing him to defeat Z Sabre. Refusing to admit defeat, Z Sabre unleashes his "pet", [[Mecha-Trogador]]; Stinkoman destroys the robot, but this causes its crystal heart to start exploding, forcing everyone to escape before the fortress collapses. With Mecha-Trogador destroyed, the crystals powering him are freed, and 1-Up and Stinkoman propose keeping them out of the wrong hands as a potential sequel or animated series, with [[Marzi-Mei]] and [[Cheatball]] wanting to join. Unbeknownst to them, Z Sabre has survived the fortress's destruction and gained a mouth.

==History==  
 +
[[File:TBC at NYU Stinkoman20X6.JPG|thumb|A preview of the game shown [[NYU Talk - 1 Mar 2005|at New York University]] a few weeks before release.]]
 +
The game was created in collaboration with programmer [[Jonathan Howe]], who [[Flashforward 2006 Seattle - 28 Feb 2006#Games - 4:30 p.m.|built a level editor]] in [[Flash]] that allowed [[The Brothers Chaps]] to directly contribute to the level designs. The game was first demonstrated at [[NYU Talk - 1 Mar 2005|a talk at NYU]] before it was released.
-
==== General ====
+
{{seemain|Development of Stinkoman 20X6 Level 10}}
-
* This is the second instance of sprites modeled after 8-bit Megaman, the first instance being with Coach Z in [[Hip Hop Dance]].
+
The first nine levels of ''Stinkoman 20X6'' were released over a six-month period in 2005. Due to a variety of factors, level 10 was not completed for over a decade. Development on the game resumed in 2017, now led by programmer [[Jez Swanson]]; after several additional delays, the level 10 update was released alongside a [[Stinkoman Level 10 Launch Trailer|promotional trailer]] on December 20, 2020.
-
* To get capsules that are hiding behind enemies without having to kill the enemy, run into the enemy with health to spare. You will take damage, grab the crunch and will be invincible long enough to escape unharmed.
+
-
*The sound made when collecting a capsule or an extra life is the same as cracking a Bitzar.
+
-
*This is the first new game not to use some sort of scoring system.
+
-
*There are three kinds of ladders used in the game: Ladders with small rungs (1.1, 1.2, 5.2),  ladders with large rungs (2.1, 2.2, 5.1, 6.1), and ladders with duck rungs (-0.1, -0.2).
+
-
*If you type in the URL for volume 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6, for a split second the page title will say "Old Stinkoman Game Page R.I.P." then it will take you to the current one.
+
-
*All of the voice clips in the game have been taken from previous 20X6 'toons and sped up. ("20X6!"; "Are you asking for a challenge?"; Stinkoman's victory laugh; "I wanna be the guy too!")
+
-
==== Levels 1-3 ====
+
As of the [[post-Flash site update]] on December 31, 2020, the game has numerous [[Stinkoman 20X6 Glitches#Ruffle|glitches]] (including certain levels being unplayable) due to issues with [[Ruffle]]. The Brothers Chaps have promised that {{prs|1349884155576737793|14|Jan|2021|alt=the problem is being worked on}}, and will be fixed someday in the future.
-
*In Level 2.3, if you listen closely, when Brody tries to peck you, you can hear him shriek. Also, Ekersby shrieks when he raises his arms.
+
-
*During the fight with Brody, he will lift both of his legs off the ground at the same time. How could he be still standing?
+
-
*The background music of the cutscene of level 1.1 is the same as the music in the background of the level 3.1 cutscene.
+
-
==== Level 4 ====
+
===Updates===
-
*On Levels 4.1 and 4.2, Stinkoman can actually fall down in certain spots to join 1-Up, but you will eventually lose because there will be no one to jump on the tiles.
+
*'''Debut: Version 1.0''' {{--}} Monday, March 21, 2005
-
*In Episode 4, when Stinkoman is facing to the right, his giant fist powerup is a left hand but when he turns around the fingers are still facing the player so it turns into a right hand. This "sprite mirroring" is common in older games to conserve memory. A notable exception is Metroid, in which Samus is always left handed.
+
**Game released with Levels 1, 2, and 3, and their Stinkomanual articles
-
*When 1-Up falls into the fiery lava below (usually when a platform is not in the right position), the screen pans to the right for a little bit before losing the life. Is 1-Up still walking down there?
+
**Also [[videlectrix.com#March 21, 2005|announced on Videlectrix.com]]
-
**Stinkoman can also fall through the lava without getting hurt. That is until he reaches the bottom.
+
*'''Version 2.0''' {{--}} Tuesday, April 26, 2005
-
*The 1-Up sprites in Level 4 are slightly different from the ones in Level 5 &mdash; they were not reused, as the Stinkoman ones are.

 +
**Some issues caused by [[Ruffle]] addressed
-
==== Levels 5-7 ====
+
==Easter Eggs==
-
*Before Level 4, 1-Up says he is taking a short cut. Before level 5, they are back at Stinkoman Headquarters. The "short cut" didn't go anywhere!
+
*Hover the mouse below "Controls" on the main menu to access the [[Stinkomanual]].
-
*Stinkoman "breaks the [[Fourth Wall Breaks|Fourth Wall]]" by saying (in Level 5) "No way! I helped you in Level 4!"
+
**On slower connections, the words "loading manuél" appear while the Stinkomanual loads.
-
**He does it again at the end of Level -0 by saying that 1-Up and [[Pan Pan]] "are on Level 10."
+
**As of the Level 10 update, the Stinkomanual is now a regular menu option.
-
*The head of the [[Shadowy Figure|silhouette]] at the end of Levels 5 and 6 and beginning of 7 and -0 appears to match the head of [[20X6 Coach Z]] in the Games menu.
+
*Wait long enough at the title screen to see an [[Stinkoman 20X6 Walkthrough#Transcript|intro cinematic]].
-
*The meteors in Level 5 cause the game to lag for a split second when they crash. This may be done on purpose to emulate how easy it is to put stress on older game systems.
+
*Stay still long enough and Stinkoman will yawn.
-
*At the end of level 7.2, if you jump right when you see the retractable ladder, you can shoot An Ice Machine before the battle starts.
+
**On the Level 4 stages, after yawning Stinkoman will rest against his giant fist.
-
*There is no cutscene before level 7.3, the boss battle with An Ice Machine.
+
**On the Level 5 stages, {{Film|1-Up}} will fall asleep and blow a snot bubble.
 +
**On the Level 7 stages, Stinkoman will shiver and eventually freeze (this costs one unit of energy.)
 +
*The player can find various invisible platforms by jumping around on different parts of the levels.
 +
*Upon completing the end credits, a link for the HD uncompressed version of the intro appears.
-
==== Levels 8-9 ====
+
== Fun Facts ==
-
*It is possible to get a ton of extra lives in level -0.2. Since there are two extra lives available, once you get both, you can die and start over, gaining one more for each time.
+
-
*Sackastanos and Semulades sport visors which are edited Browntant visors.
+
-
*There is no cutscene before the boss battle on Level 9.3 against Harvax XVII.
+
-
*Harvax XVII's hands are white, but his face is purple.
+

====Manual Inconsistencies====
+
{{see|Stinkoman 20X6 Trivia}}
-
*Kolkaryu is listed under level 2, but Kolkaryu already appears in level 1.
+
-
*Old Sage is listed under level 2, but Old Sages already appear in level 1.
+
-
*Level 3 is called "Dumb Wall" on the level select screen, but it's called "Up 'n Down" in the instruction manual.
+
-
*In Level 1 in the manual, the original version said "face treats" instead of "fave treats."
+
-
*Level 3 is the only part to have its title constantly on the top of the page. All of the other Levels' titles disappear after the first page.
+
-
*When v4 (Level 6) and v5 (Level 7) were first put up, The Brothers Chaps forgot to update the [[Stinkomanual]] to include Level 6. This was fixed, but the release of version 5 seemingly broke it again. Later in the day, the level 6 section was replaced, the level 7 section was added.
+
-
====In-Game Goofs====
+
=== Remarks ===
-
*The two Pooru-Poorus at either end of Stlunko seem to be hovering above the ground.
+
{{see|Stinkoman 20X6 Remarks}}
-
*When you fall off the conveyor belt on Stlunko and stand on the ground below the belt, you'll still be carried along with it. (However, once you jump or are hit by one of the Pooru-Poorus, you appear back on the conveyor belt.)
+
-
*When Stinkoman wears his giant fist, it is slightly larger than when Stlunko has it.
+
-
*In Levels 4.1 and 4.2, if Stinkoman walks directly beneath the lavafall and then hits the ground with the rock fist, he apparently deflects the lava with his head.
+
-
[[Image:level1.jpg|thumb|Level 1 or Level 1.1? ]]
+
-
*Any damage you took as Stinkoman in levels 3 and 4 will remain on 1-Up in level 5, even though they're not the same person.
+
-
**Similarly, any damage you took as 1-Up in Level 5 will remain on Stinkoman when you progress to level 6.
+
-
*In the "Level Select" screen, levels 9.1 and 9.2 were originally listed as -0.1 and -0.2. This was fixed later in the day.
+
-
<!-- Every version past 2 only lets you play the first level in any episode no matter what. You can only unlock the second level if you beat the first one. It's almost certainly can't be called a Goof at this point, given that they did it three times in a row, so please don't add it. -->
+
-
====Miscellaneous====

=== Goofs ===

*In the Videlectrix catalogue, if you click Stinkoman 20X6, a screenshot of the game will appear. In the bottom right corner, it says "Level 1" and not "Level 1.1".<br style="clear:both;" />

* Level 3.2 reveals that Stinkoman hates apples, just as Strong Bad does in [[The House that Gave Sucky Treats]].
+
-
* Stlunko, the level 3 boss, bears a striking resemblance to the [[Visor Robot]].

From the Videlectrix game catalog:

Blue hair, anyone? Stinkoman's always got fightings and challenges to keep him busy. Jump and shoot your way to all ends of Planet K. End Boss feature!!

Stinkoman 20X6 is a side-scrolling platformer game which stars Stinkoman. Based on the classic Mega Man games, Stinkoman travels through distinctive sci-fi worlds and faces a gauntlet of foes to save his friend Pan Pan from the villainous Z Sabre. The game further parodies Japanese video games of the third generation of video game consoles with writing done in the manner of poor Japanese to English translations common to video games of that era.

The game consists of ten levels; although the first nine were released in relatively quick succession, the game remained unfinished for 15 years until the final level was released on December 20, 2020.

As a result of the site's transition to Ruffle on December 31, 2020, the game has numerous glitches that impact gameplay, including certain levels being unplayable. The Brothers Chaps are aware of and working on the problem.

[edit] Story

Challenge the fighting!

The game starts with Stinkoman winning a challenge against a robot named Tampo, which makes him want to go home. Upon arrival, 1-Up informs him that Pan Pan has been kidnapped; however, Stinkoman ignores this in favor of challenging Brody, whose bone caused him to choke on his chicken soup. He then takes a detour over a short wall, which happens to be a robot named Stlunko; Stinkoman beats it and takes its stone fist as a powerup.

Seeing that Stinkoman has no interest in rescuing Pan Pan, 1-Up goes out to rescue him on his own. He takes Stinkoman's Power Crunch (a cassette tape) through the Lava Zone, prompting Stinkoman to follow him, protect it, and ultimately trade it for his stone fist, which ends up gone to shreds in a fight with a lava snake named Saargtsson. While the Power Crunch remains intact, the journey proves unsuccessful in rescuing Pan Pan, prompting 1-Up to set out from Stinkoman Headquarters once again. Stinkoman refuses to help a second time, so 1-Up goes to the moon alone. This attempt ends even worse than the last one, as 1-Up ends up carried off by the same silhouette that kidnapped Pan Pan.

Stinkoman finally begins showing some concern for 1-Up, taking a brief moment to wonder how he's doing, before taking a vacation to the Pink Cloud Zone for recreational challenges. It's soon revealed that the shadowy kidnapper has been watching him. This figure tries to kill Stinkoman by pressing a red button that sends him to the Ice Zone; however, he quickly realizes that he can keep moving to survive the cold. The figure retaliates by trapping Stinkoman sad inside a wall; this doesn't work either, as Stinkoman promptly blasts a section out of the wall and escapes.

At the end of the glitchy Negative Zone, Stinkoman defeats the "pile of junk" Ekersby, and finds that one of its eyes is a device showing 1-Up and Pan Pan's whereabouts: the end of level 10, where the red button is. This leads him to believe that they were the ones who red buttoned him, and finally heads off to level 10 for revenge. His destination (an evil fortress) is surrounded by an evil jungle, so he flies through it on his mostly cool ship, the Stinkowing. The shadowy figure launches a fleet in retaliation, including Harvax XVII, a robotic gangster full of prawns. This backfires on the shadowy figure; not only does Stinkoman defeat Harvax, but he eats the prawns inside, causing him to fall asleep at the fortress's doorstep while the figure grows impatient. 1-Up grows a prodigious beard and Pan Pan has a hundred babies.

Reaching the fortress's inner sanctum, Stinkoman finds 1-Up and Pan Pan and comes face to face with the shadowy kidnapper, revealed to be Z Sabre. Z Sabre attempts to destroy Stinkoman so that he can become "the guy", but 1-Up tosses Stinkoman his Power Crunch, powering him up and allowing him to defeat Z Sabre. Refusing to admit defeat, Z Sabre unleashes his "pet", Mecha-Trogador; Stinkoman destroys the robot, but this causes its crystal heart to start exploding, forcing everyone to escape before the fortress collapses. With Mecha-Trogador destroyed, the crystals powering him are freed, and 1-Up and Stinkoman propose keeping them out of the wrong hands as a potential sequel or animated series, with Marzi-Mei and Cheatball wanting to join. Unbeknownst to them, Z Sabre has survived the fortress's destruction and gained a mouth.

[edit] History

A preview of the game shown at New York University a few weeks before release.

The game was created in collaboration with programmer Jonathan Howe, who built a level editor in Flash that allowed The Brothers Chaps to directly contribute to the level designs. The game was first demonstrated at a talk at NYU before it was released.

See main article: Development of Stinkoman 20X6 Level 10

The first nine levels of Stinkoman 20X6 were released over a six-month period in 2005. Due to a variety of factors, level 10 was not completed for over a decade. Development on the game resumed in 2017, now led by programmer Jez Swanson; after several additional delays, the level 10 update was released alongside a promotional trailer on December 20, 2020.

As of the post-Flash site update on December 31, 2020, the game has numerous glitches (including certain levels being unplayable) due to issues with Ruffle. The Brothers Chaps have promised that the problem is being worked on, and will be fixed someday in the future.
