Walkthrough
House of Strong
Strong Bad sits down to play his new Limozeen game as the episode begins. Feel free to play it as far as you can... but you won't get far, because the Fun Machine will blow a fuse and the game will glitch up. Guess someone's got to fix it...
- And that someone isn't Strong Sad. You can ask him about it, but he'll just tell you to go visit Bubs. And Bubs don't come cheap.
- While you're here, though, be sure to nab your Metal Detector. You won't need it, but it'll help you dig up some bonus items.
- Go down to the basement and open your inventory. You'll notice that you have a microphone there, for no apparent reason. What this bad boy will do is make cardboard boxes appear out of nowhere, if you sing in the right place. Try it out and open the box that appears next to the washer to get a sloshy shirt.
- While you're downstairs, examine the couch to find your leopard print pants.
- Search the Luxa-lounger for a Limozeen collector's glass.
- Go to the kitchen and open up the fridge to find some aerosol cheese spray.
- Touch the microwave next to the fridge to get a, ahem, shocking surprise. Turns out you get awesomeness points for this. Go figure.
- Talk to Strong Mad and he'll mention that he's heading to Cool Tapes practice at Marzipan's.
- You can also nab the vandalized album sitting on Strong Mad's dresser. Hold on to it; it will be a useful reference later.
- Get your lighter from next to the Lappy, too.
- You can get zapped again by trying to unplug the Lappy.
- Flick the upper light switch to get the first page for the Limozeen game manual.
- If you talk to Strong Sad, he'll tell you that he's going to become a snooty rock n' roll journalist, something Strong Bad can't seem to imagine.
- There are other cool-looking and plot-necessary items in your brothers' rooms, but for now, they'll stop you from taking them. Oh, well.
- Go outside and rock out with your microphone again. Open the box for another Limozeen shot glass.
- Open your map and add Marzipan's House to it. But head for Bubs' Concession Stand first.
Checkpoint: You should have the Fun Machine, Metal Detector, the Aerosol Cheese, the Vandalized Album, and the Lighter. Strong Bad will now be harmed twice. You also have two of the four costume items, and two of four collector's glasses.
Bubs' Concession Stand
- Give Bubs the Fun Machine. He'll fix it in exchange for a big sack of cash — one you currently lack.
At this point, Strong Bad gets the idea of running a Battle of the Bands. Not only will it be an awesome excuse to make a lot of noise, but he can use the profits on fixing his Fun Machine. Bubs is willing to help, but first things first. He needs a security officer and some celebrity judges. To help with the former, however, he hands you a security jacket. But who will wear it?
- Grab the paper on the side of the stand for help with the other half of the deal. Limozeen will spend the day with whoever can send in the coolest album picture! You already have some concept art (if you took it from Strong Mad's room), but you still need to make it a reality.
- Get the stencil next to the stand, too.
- Since you're here, wander through the Field to add all the locations to the map. Unlike in Homestar Ruiner, you're going to need to visit most of them sooner or later anyway.
- When you get to Strong Badia, put the stencil you just got on the fence. Use the aerosol cheese on the stencil to make it appear as though "SECURITY" is a hot new band. Strong Sad will come in, eager for news to help him in being a snooty rock journalist.
- Show Strong Sad the security jacket. He'll be convinced it's for a new hot band and put it on.
Strong Sad will run over and show it to Bubs, who assumes that Strong Sad is the head of security. Strong Sad gets confused and eventually gives in. Now you just need some celebrity judges. Maybe if you won that Limozeen album art contest...
Take a look at that album cover from Strong Mad's room. Strong Bad declares this the coolest album art ever. It involves a cool-looking car on fire with a star, a blonde in a bikini with a sword, and a dinosaur. If you can set up a photo like that, you'll be in business. And wouldn't you know, there's already a cool car in the area with a convenient oil slick around it!
- Go over to the Cool Car and set the oil slick on fire. It looks cool, but there's still a lot left to be done until it's contest-entry worthy.
- Walk to the right, and you'll eventually notice a stick (not THE Stick) with a starfish and a sign that says "Eat at Bubs". Grab the star and put it on the car. Now you've got the "imploding star" part.
- While you're in The Field, use the Detector in front of the fence and to the right of Bubs' Consession Stand to get the Hollywood Boulevard shoes and a Two-O Duo poster, respectively.
- Sing in front the Brick Wall to make another cardboard box appear, which contains a headband.
- Go back home for now.
Checkpoint: In addition to the items you would have already used in the above, you should have the Limozeen Contest Flyer, all four costume items, and the Two-O Duo poster. You've lost the lighter, but it won't be as critical to your awesomeness this time around. The Fun Machine is gone too.
House of Strong
Without your brothers' interference, you can now filch all their stuff!
- From Strong Sad's room, take the camera and the bat hutch.
- From the bathroom, take the fake sword.
- From Strong Mad's room, take Poodonkis. It's in the left side of the closet.
Checkpoint: Just to refresh, you should have the Camera, Bat Hutch, Fake Sword, and Poodonkis. You'll be needing all but the bat hutch in the very near future.
So back to that album. You need a hot blonde with a sword, and now you have the sword...
- It's time to head to Marzipan's house to enlist the help of the hottest blonde around.
Marzipan's
- Oh, wait, did you think I meant Marzipan? Sorry, Strong Bad is physically incapable of speaking to her without insulting her. Try to give her the fake sword anyway; remember, you get awesomeness points for getting hurt.
- No, it's actually The Cheat that you need to offer the sword to.
- If you want to know why the Cool Tapes are practicing, feel free to ask Marzipan. It involves white vegan bats. That's enough to disinterest Strong Bad.
- Oh, and grab that Zen Rock from Marzipan's garden.
- Use the Detector outside her house to unearth a poster.
- Head back to the Cool Car to complete your masterpiece.
Checkpoint: No more sword, but you should have that Zen Rock. And Strong Bad got hurt one more time, for a total of three, plus another collectable poster.
Cool Car
The Cheat, in disturbing bikini, will already be here. Just one more finishing touch...
- Use Poodonkis on the car. Strong Bad will put him on the ground a distance away for perspective reasons.
- Now snap a picture with Strong Sad's camera. As if the scene wasn't already awesome enough, the Von Bleubloods (er, the bats) will fly in and circle around The Cheat, and Strong Bad will get an unbelievable stroke of luck in the way of awesome lighting. Now THAT is an album cover!
- Head back to the House of Strong.
House of Strong
- All you need to do now is mail in that picture. Strong Bad wins the contest!
- Head to Bubs' Concession Stand.
Bubs' Concession Stand
- Tell Bubs the good news about Limozeen and the concert is on! He'll give you entry forms and tell you to hire three bands. He recommends Cool Tapes and talking to Pom Pom, but refuses to speak of his old duo with Coach Z.
Checkpoint: You'll lose certain items you no longer need; notably, the Limozeen Flyer and the Vandalized Album. Poodonkis won't be in your inventory either, since you used him to set up the photo.
Naming Your Band
When Strong Bad decides that the band is ready for a name, you will be presented with five unlabeled choices from each of the three band members. The buttons correspond to the following words:
Strong Bad
- 1. Diamond
- 2. Devastating
- 3. Deluxe
- 4. Degenerate
- 5. Demonic
King of Town
- 1. Octopus
- 2. Omelette
- 3. Oyster
- 4. Oatmeal
- 5. Oliveloaf
Homsar
- 1. Itch Machine
- 2. Iguanodon
- 3. Insurance
- 4. Incorporated
- 5. Insomniacs
Extended Play
- Homsar remains at the DÖI stage, allowing you to play the theremin minigame at will.
- Playing the Wiggle record at Club Technochocolate will net you the back cover of the Limozeen game manual, complete with a signed photo of a real-life babelian!
