*: Homsar asking the kids if they want to "hear of (the song) 50 times more" may be a reference to the PBS show [[Wikipedia:Teletubbies|Teletubbies]], in which whenever a "real-life" clip is shown, it is always repeated per request of the Teletubbies.
*: The "letter of the day" feature in Homsar's show is reminiscent of Sesame Street, which ends each show with the mock sponsorship, "Sesame Street was brought to you ... by the letter __!"
*Email [[morning routine]] - Strong Sad says he wants to "watch that show on public broadcasting hosted by that British guy."

'''The Island''' is where [[Homestar Runner|Homestar]] and [[Strong Bad]] were stranded on in the [[Strong Bad Email]] "[[island]]." It is surrounded by ocean and has a lone palm tree in its center. According to Strong Bad, it's "the worst deserted island ever."

Although [[Main Page 3]] takes place on a beach, the coastline is much longer than the island's and is therefore not the same location.

[[Image:Strong Sad with iPod.PNG|thumb|Strong Sad listening to his iPod]]

The '''iPod''' is a portable music player [[Strong Sad]] is seen with that has [[Strong Bad]]'s "Song About [[sibbie|Sibbie]]". It was one of Strong Bad's and [[The Cheat]]'s stolen goods in [[Strong Bad is in Jail Cartoon]]. The device has been identified as a [[Wikipedia:IPod#First generation|first]] or [[Wikipedia:IPod#Second generation|second-generation]] [[Wikipedia:IPod|Apple iPod]]. It can not possibly be a [[Wikipedia:IPod#Third generation|third-generation]] iPod, which would have four buttons horizontally under the screen, a [[Wikipedia:IPod#Fourth generation|fourth-generation]] iPod, which would not have the buttons outside the click wheel, or a [[Wikipedia:IPod#Fifth generation|fifth-generation]] iPod, which would have a larger screen and a click wheel. Additionally, since "Songs" appears on the screen instead of "Browse," it is probably running iPod software version 1.5 or newer.

In [[Podstar Runner]], a different, fifth-generation iPod is seen next to the [[Floppy Disk Container]]. Notable about this video iPod is the fact that the headphone jack is located at the top center, while the real fifth-generation has the jack at the right.

Stinkoman 20X6 Glitches

Wikiboy num 1 — Mon, 04 Sep 2006 02:23:24 GMT

Wikiboy num 1: /* Part 1 */

In anything as big as [[Stinkoman 20X6]] numerous bugs will arise. Most are unique to some levels, although many others are linked to problems with [[Macromedia Flash|Flash]], and others have been fixed.
==General==
*If you fall long enough and don't touch anything, Stinkoman will stop doing his falling pose and act like he's standing and will even start to yawn. Such a long fall can be found in stage 2.2, 6.1, 6.2, and -0.2. 1-Up will do this as well, but there's no place to attempt it on his level.
*When Stinkoman is about to yawn, his sprite character moves down one pixel.
*If you manage to die and kill a boss simultaneously, the "Keep Try" "Game Over" screen appears, but then you'll continue the game, having lost the life, but still with no energy (so if you get hit you lose a second life).
*If you press A immediately at the very beginning of a level where Stinkoman starts in the air, Stinkoman will look like he is walking on ground for a moment, and he will then jump in the air.
*If you jump on the left of a wall enough, you can move into it and go out on the other side.
*Sometimes when you kill an enemy the final frame of the explosion stays there.
*If you time it right, you can make Stinkoman laugh in midair after you defeat a boss by pressing A.
**This also works at the end of most levels with a flag.
**This glitch will start you out with no health, meaning if you get hit you get another GAME OVER (unless you repeat the glitch).
**It '''ALSO''' has "check points" where it will usually restart you in the exact same place you were in before you died. The only bad thing is that sometimes if there is a lower area the screen will not scroll down when you go down. Also, it will sometimes prevent you from going off the left of the screen.
**You CAN peform this glitch at any time, but it is most helpful at a GAME OVER.
*If you're using a Flash seek bar with "Next Frame", when the title screen appears, you can repeatedly click "Next Frame" and flip through some menus until you reach "Level Undefined.Undefined". It's an empty level without any ground. Also, your starting life number will either be "NaN" or "Undefined".
*Standing on a moving platform that goes through a wall will cause you to go through the wall as well. Although there are no instances of this in the official game, you can experience this glitch with a custom level.

==Bugs Concerning Flash==
[[Image:stinkogame slow.png|thumb|Glitch for Flash 6 and under.]]
* Sometimes you can start up a new game and it will be nothing but Stinkoman and the background. Since there's no ground, you can only fall and die. This may be linked to older versions of Flash.
** A possible reason that this happens is because earlier versions of Flash may not be able to read the levelData xml files.
*When played on Linux Flash Player, this game has some [[Linux Incompatibilities|incompatibilities]].

==[[Stinkoman 20X6 Walkthrough Level 1|Level 1]] ==
[[Image:stinkoman-glitch.png|thumb|Stinkoman stands on air!]]
===Part 1===
*In level 1.1, if you don't kill the Jaro by the first wall and instead just go past it and the wall under the second Browntant, the Jaro may be jumping in mid-air.
**It can even jump through the wall.
*Near the start, when you have to get to the bottom of the first wall (with the browntant),if you fall right against the wall and land on the platform that's on the other side, you'll seem to be floating in midair.
*near the end of the lavel at the top of the so called "pyramid" you are able to stand on air above the left bush.

===Boss===
*Losing a life in 1.3 or [[#Boss 2|2.3]] will result in Stinkoman returning to the level without ground, causing him to fall to his death.
**This is because there is no real level 1.3 or 2.3 – the battles happen at the end of 1.2 or 2.2. When you get to the end of the level the boss appears. When you die, it unloads the level as always, but when you keep try, it doesn't reload it – it expects it to still be there, as it is when you just finished the .2 level. Result: no ground.

==[[Stinkoman 20X6 Walkthrough Level 2|Level 2]]==
[[Image:stinkogame-level22-terrell-glitch.png|thumb|Stuck Terrell on level 2.2]]
===Part 2===
*In the beginning of levels 2.1 and 2.2, there are Terrells on a burner and just behind a stove, respectively. It's possible for the Terrells to get "stuck" in midair. It will continue to hop up and down on the air(without moving horizontally at all), and Stinkoman can pass through the Terrell without becoming injured. It also becomes impossible to kill.

===Boss===
*Sometimes, when you shoot Brody's eye, he will keep his head down, enabling you to shoot him again. This is possibly caused because you shoot his eye while his head is going back to the top of the screen, although this has never been truly proven.
*As in level [[#Boss|1.3]], if you die when fighting Brody, when you restart the ground is no longer there and you fall until game over.

==[[Stinkoman 20X6 Walkthrough Level 3|Level 3]]==
===Part 1===
*At the release of v7 (Level 9), the Clowders' propellers mysteriously disappeared.
===Part 2===
*There have been occasional sightings in level 3.2 of a Mr.Ubbers from level 3.1.

==[[Stinkoman 20X6 Walkthrough Level 4|Level 4]]==
*When you block a lava fall while holding S, the lava fall will go back for a split second, killing 1-Up if he is under there.
*No matter how far you stick the giant fist into the lava fall, it is as if the whole fist is under it.
*If you press 'S' repeatedly, faster than the pounding animation can go, after you're done pressing S, Stinkoman will continue to pound until he has pounded as many times as you've pressed S, which can sometimes get very annoying when you need to move on.
*If a and s are pressed at the same time as you're falling into the level from the left, Stinkoman will float instead of walk.
*If you walk underneath a lavaflow so the giant fist is above your head, turn around, then quickly tap s, the fist will sometimes not move, but you will hear the fist pound the ground and see the rocks fall anyway.
*If you die by a Poorbt or by falling in the lava, 1-Up keeps walking. If he hits an enemy or a lava-fall before the level restarts, he will die too, and you'll lose 2 lives. This can cause you to get -1 lives
*If 1-Up hits a lava flow while a Poorbt is shooting at you, the Poorbt's shot just goes past you.
*When Stinkoman crushes a Poorbt with his fist, the Poorbt dies, but the fist doesn't move.

===Part 2===
[[Image:PinkChamCham.jpg|thumb|A Pink Cham Cham firing only the left laser]]
*If you approach a Pink Cham Cham from the left and see only the left side of it as it fires, when you approach toward the right to see the rest of it, it will only have fired the laser on the left side.
**This may also happen in level -0.1 or [[#Part 2_5|-0.2]].

==[[Stinkoman 20X6 Walkthrough Level 5|Level 5]]==
*If you die at the beginning of 5.1 or 5.2 before the ship at the top flies by, it will fly by on the Keep Try screen.
===Part 1===
*A Jaro on one of the conveyor belts on level 5.1 can go behind the wall.

==[[Stinkoman 20X6 Walkthrough Level 6|Level 6]]==
===Part 2===
*After the second Protek, on the bottom level, you go on a series of moving white solid clouds. After killing a Jaro, you have to time yourself to fall through an evaporating cloud to land on another white solid. If you're on the evaporating cloud, and you move to the left, you'll be stuck falling in place on the wall. You can't jump, only move left and right and fire.
**You can also fall to the left of the wall and die, if you move far enough.

==[[Stinkoman 20X6 Walkthrough Level 7|Level 7]]==
*In Level 7.1 or 7.2, you will not freeze if you:
**Stay on a ladder.
**Hold the up or down button.
**Don't move at all after freezing once.
===Part 1===
*In Level 7.1, in around the middle of the level, you can get caught between a wall and an ice platform. Shooting, running and jumping cannot move you; yet jumping toward either side will cause Stinkoman will keep flipping for as long as you hold the arrow keys.
*In Level 7.1 around the middle Stinkoman can stand in the air.

==[[Stinkoman 20X6 Walkthrough Level -0|Level -0]]==
===Part 2===
*If you get through the first part of the stove maze on level -0.2 (solution image [[:Image:Stinkoman_20x6_-0.2_fridgemaze.PNG|here]]) and try to jump over the next opening, but just miss the other solid stove, you'll usually get stuck falling in place until you move back a bit.
*Sometimes, when you go to the far right opening in the stove maze (That has the hidden capsule) you can jump, hold right, and eventually slide down to the exit and you can run out.

===Boss===
*Sometimes while fighting Ekersby if you jump and hold the "a" key down, the screen will freeze until you release the "a" key.

==[[Stinkoman 20X6 Walkthrough Level 9|Level 9]]==
*When the character dies just as the shield effect wears off (the shield sprite is just beginning to disappear) the sprite will be visible on the Keep Try! screen.
*Sometimes, during level 9, super-speed will not stop until either the end of the next super-speed zone, or until the end of the level. This glitch allows the group of lives and pills at the end of 9.1 to become accessible, and can allow for a speedy exiting of 9.2. The triggers for this glitch have not yet been identified.


==Fixed Glitches==
*When the game was first released, you could skip (press space or click) the first part of the final movie (any part before the MORE LEVELS TO COME SCENE) to enter stage 3.4. It was the Stlunko arena without Stlunko: a slightly elevated platform above the ground with two Pooru-Poorus on either side. You could continue traveling rightwards into a barren land before reaching an endless cliff.
**This again happened in level 4 when it was first released. However, this glitch has been fixed as well.
***Also, if you died once on level 4.4 there would be no ground when you returned.
**This hasn't happened on any other version since, with a minor exception (beneath).
[[Image:TryLevel -0.4.PNG|thumb|right|Truly Negatory]]
*When version 6 was first released, Level -0 always appeared in the top slot in the CONTINUTE menu even if you scrolled through the levels. This was fixed later in the day.
*On the day of version 7's release, beating Ekersby would take you to level -0.4 (a completely blank screen, where Stinkoman constantly falls to his death), instead of 9.1 as would be expected. This was fixed later in the day.

''{Cut to Pom Pom, Strong Bad, and Homestar.}''

'''THE GRAPE FAIRIE:''' ''{poofs another grape on top of everyone}'' Crazy eights!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Okay.... Even it out there on the south side.

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{The Cheat noises}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Jump her up.

''{Cut to Homestar.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' All right, seriously. At first it was cute, but this is just borderline unsportsmanlike! Let me outline my master plan. I will (a) drop my grapes, and (b) uncover that cheat!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Wait, what?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ooh.... These grapes are succulently crushing my windpipe.... Ooh, but they're seedless! ''{The pile of grapes begins to collapse as Strong Bad eats it}''

''{Cut to Homestar and Pom Pom holding the trophy.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' All right, seriously, Pom Pom. Gimme the golbol!

'''POM POM:''' ''{bubble noises, pulls the trophy back a bit}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yeah, that's great. But I still won. I sportsmanliked everybody! Now gimme the golbol!

'''POM POM:''' ''{bubble noises}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' All right, fine. You can give it to me for my birthday. Now check out my victory dance! Huhyayayayaaa!

''{Homestar crosses his left leg over his right and jumps into the air. The Grape Fairie and the Fat Bee enter from the upper right, the announcer from the lower left.

==Fun Facts==
===Explanations===
*"Unplugged" is a term popularized by [[Wikipedia:MTV Unplugged|MTV Unplugged]] and is used to refer to [[Wikipedia:Acoustic music|acoustic music]].

===Trivia===
*The [[Main Page Messages|main page message]] for this toon read "10 years!".
*This toon is the first time The Grape Fairie, Mr. Bland, and Señor are given a voice.
*Despite its attempt, this toon's page title is not the longest one of the website. [[Shopping for Danger]]'s page title "Blue Las-alert, Kids! Cheat Commandos will be right back after these messages!" surpasses it by five characters. They are, however, both 19 syllables long.
*Although they were both voiced by Matt Chapman, The Grape Fairie and Homestar both sound similar, albeit the Grape Fairie sounding like a tougher, meaner, gruff-voiced Homestar.

===Remarks===
*When The Grape Fairie's mouth disappears when he isn't talking, his [[Wikipedia:Five o'clock shadow|five o'clock shadow]] disappears with it.
*When Homestar holds up the grapes, they float as if he's controlling them with his mind rather than with [[Lack of Visible Arms|invisible arms]].
**Homestar's invisible arms are also emphasized in the high-five scene.
*Señor may also defy physics. He holds the pile on one side with the other half of the pile mysteriously floating in mid-air. This was also true in the original book.
*The Grape Fairie said that Mookie Wilson gave him the trophy in 1974, but Wilson would have been 18 at the time. He was not drafted by the Mets until 1977.
*Señor's introduction background of beans may be a nod to the stereotype that Hispanics eat a lot of beans.

===Goofs===
*When Mr. Bland, The Robot and Señor are introduced, the smaller spotlights cross over their feet, yet none of the characters' feet light up.
* In the silhouette scene following Mr. Bland's loss, the grapes are actually floating above Pom Pom.
*in the [[Original Book|original story]] senor held up the grapes with his left hand but in this toon he held them with his right hand
