== Transcript ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
''{COOL THINGS appears on Marzipan's carpet. We tilt up to see Homestar and Marzipan sitting on the couch. Marzipan is reading &amp;quot;Peter Threadbare&amp;quot;, while Homestar just looks bored.}''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{sighs}'' Sitting on the couch is zero amount of fun when there's not a TV or hang glider in front of it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''MARZIPAN:''' Well, why don't you do something constructive? Like read a book, or write a novella.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Nah, I already did some writing today. And then I read what I wrote.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''MARZIPAN:''' Yay! Good for you. Can I see it?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' It's right over there. Check it out!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
''{Homestar looks at the left wall. The camera view changes to show that &amp;quot;Cool tapes&amp;quot; is roughly written on the wall.}''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{offscreen}'' Why did you write &amp;quot;Cool tapes&amp;quot; on my wall?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Uh, hello? ''{Cut back to the couch. Marzipan and Homestar both look annoyed.}'' Maybe because I like cool tapes?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''MARZIPAN:''' Well, I hope you like &amp;quot;cool&amp;quot; painting, because this has got to go.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{imitating a trombone}'' Mwah, bwah, bwahhhh.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
''{Cut to Bubs' Concession Stand. Bubs is inside, looking bored. Three cans of &amp;quot;yella paint&amp;quot; are stacked next to him. Homestar walks up to the stand.}''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Say there, old Bubs! I need three cans of yella paint, and one pair of cool shades.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''BUBS:''' Sorry, customer, I'm closed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' But you're standing right there. And I see the yella paint right next to you.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''BUBS:''' But I'm closed! Cutbacks, layoffs, downsizing, you know the drill.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{He looks over his shoulder, then looks back at Bubs.}'' Hey, Bubs, can you steal three cans of yella paint for me?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''BUBS:''' I never pass up a chance to stick it to the man! Here you go! ''{He gives the cans of paint to Homestar.}'' I slipped the cool shades in the can number two.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Thanks, Bubs. Power to the people!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''BUBS:''' I heard that!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
''{Cut to Homestar's silhouette walking away from the stand. We then cut to a close-up of Homestar walking in the field.}''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I think I'm gonna bust out my new cool shades. ''{He kneels down, opens one of the paint cans, and pulls out a pair of [[Homestar's Sunglasses|sunglasses]] that are completely covered in paint. He puts them on.}'' Coool! Everything's yellow and drippy.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
''{Strong Sad enters.}''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''STRONG SAD:''' Hey, Homestar.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, hello, Dripping Yellow Madness!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''STRONG SAD:''' What? I'm Strong Sad! Dripping Yellow Madness moved away after fifth grade!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Look, I'd love to stay and argue that you are in fact Dripping Yellow Madness, but this paint and I ''{He kicks one of the cans of paint}'' have a date with a wall!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''STRONG SAD:''' I wish I had a date with a wall.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Go for it! Here. ''{He gives the paint cans to Strong Sad}'' You'll need these.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''STRONG SAD:''' Oh!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' And, uh, good luck tonight. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
''{He makes a clicking sound with his mouth, then walks off. He lands in a small hole. There is a sign next to it that says &amp;quot;death hole&amp;quot; in Strong Bad's handwriting. Homestar screams while falling in and continues to scream after he's stopped falling. He's standing in a hole up to his neck.}''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{gradually getting quiter}'' Aaaaaaaaaaah...I'm at the bottom of a giant piiiit...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''STRONG SAD:''' Homestar, take off those stupid cool shades.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yeah, I should probably return these things.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{walking offscreen, singing}'' Oh, getting lucky tonight...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
''{Paint runs down the screen. When it is gone, we see a close-up of Homestar, still wearing the cool shades.}''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hey, friend. Lemme get my money back for these cool shades.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
''{The camera pulls back to reveal Homestar standing a bit too far away from Bubs' Concession Stand. Bubs is inside, and there's a banner on the stand that says &amp;quot;UNDER OLD MANAGEMENT!!&amp;quot;}''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''BUBS:''' Little bit closer, Homestar.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh. ''{He walks closer, and walks past Bubs a bit. Bubs moves in front of him.}'' Lemme get my money back for these cool shades.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''BUBS:''' Sure! You got your receipt?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Um, no. ''{He takes off his sunglasses.}'' The sales representative I dealt with gave them to me...free of charge. I believe...his name was Stan.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''BUBS:''' Stan?! I fired that guy after the fifth grade! Without a receipt, I can only exchange them for something of lesser or much lesser value. And the only thing that qualifies is this! ''{He holds up a bag with four grapes in it.}''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{He takes the bag}'' These'll do! These'll do juuust fine!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
''{Cut to Homestar's silhouette walking away from the stand. The sun is lower than before, and the sky is a purplish color. Cut to a view of Homestar walking into Marzipan's house, then cut to Marzipan's living room, where Marzipan, Strong Mad and The Cheat are standing in front of the wall with &amp;quot;Cool Tapes&amp;quot; written on it. Strong Mad has an electric bass, The Cheat has a drum kit, and Marzipan has [[Carol]].}''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''MARZIPAN:''' All right, boys. From the top. ''{Homestar's silhouette appears in the foreground.}'' One, two&amp;amp;mdash;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' What in&amp;amp;mdash; ''{Cut to a close-up of Homestar's face. He looks angry.}'' &amp;amp;mdash;Pete Sampras is going on here?!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
''{cut to a close-up of Marzipan's face.}''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''MARZIPAN:''' Well, you took too long, so Strong Mad, and The Cheat and I formed a band called Cool Tapes. ''{She smiles sheepishly.}''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
''{Cut back to a still-angry Homestar.}'' &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, really?! What kind of...music do you play?!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
''{Cut to a wide shot of Marzipan, Strong Mad and The Cheat.}''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''MARZIPAN:''' Well, here, we'll show you. We only have one song so far, and it's not quite finished, but here goes. Ready, boys?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
''{Strong Mad, The Cheat and Marzipan all play their instruments.}''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''MARZIPAN:''' One, two, three four!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
''{singing}''&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
''Cool tapes are cool, 'cause they're where it is at,''&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
''Cool tapes are cool, and we like it like that!''&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
''Cool tapes! Cool tapes!''&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
''We like to get it down with the cool, cool tapes,''&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
''We like to get down with'' ...um... ''{the music stops}'' um...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' A bag of four grapes?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{music starts again, singing} A bag of four grapes!''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
''{We hear an audience cheering. Homestar pops up from the bottom of the screen and shakes the bag. A cassette tape appears in the foreground that reads &amp;quot;THE END.&amp;quot; Homestar peeks through one of the holes in the cassette.}''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Easter Eggs ==&lt;br /&gt;
* Click on &amp;quot;THE&amp;quot; on the cassette at the end to see a conversation with Strong Bad and The Cheat.&lt;br /&gt;
''{Strong Bad is lying on the couch in his basement, watching TV.}''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''TV:''' ...same truck that tried to kill my dad!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
''{The Cheat enters, carrying his drumsticks.}''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey, The Cheat. We catch anything in the Death Hole today?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{Makes The Cheat noises}''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''STRONG BAD:''' What? There's no way he could've been in there. He moved away after fifth grade!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Click on &amp;quot;END&amp;quot; on the cassette at the end to see a T-shirt for [[Cool Tapes]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Fun Facts ==&lt;br /&gt;
{{checkstuffpage}}&lt;br /&gt;
===Explanations===&lt;br /&gt;
*A [[Wikipedia:Novella|novella]] is a work of fiction intermediate in length and complexity between a short story and a novel.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Trivia===&lt;br /&gt;
*The crowd cheering sound effect is taken from the end of [[Everybody to the Limit (Live)]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Remarks===&lt;br /&gt;
*This is the first time Marzipan's teeth are shown.&lt;br /&gt;
*None of the paint remains on Homestar's face after he removes the cool shades.&lt;br /&gt;
*Paint appears to drip from Homestar's glasses into his mouth.&lt;br /&gt;
*The tape at the end is the same shade of yellow as the yellow highlights that appear around buttons when the Tab key is pressed, slightly obscuring the Easter egg highlight over &amp;quot;The&amp;quot; and completely obscuring the highlight over &amp;quot;End.&amp;quot; Since the tape was grey during the song, this may have been intentional.&lt;br /&gt;
* When Marzipan is playing guitar, it sounds like it's distorted, yet it's never been said that Carol is an electric-acoustic.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Goofs===&lt;br /&gt;
*When Marzipan closes her eyes and sings &amp;quot;...a bag of four graaaaapes!&amp;quot;, you can see her closed eyes distort for a brief moment. This is because she and Homestar always blink every three seconds, and with her eyes closed, she attempts to blink over her closed eyes. The effect can also be observed if the toon is paused while her eyes are closed.&lt;br /&gt;
*The amp that is behind Marzipan when she's about to play her song disappears in the next scene.&lt;br /&gt;
*The phrase &amp;quot;Cool Tapes&amp;quot; changes position slightly during the toon. To see this better, focus on the bottom of the &amp;quot;p&amp;quot; in &amp;quot;Tapes&amp;quot; and the lighter part of the yellow wall.&lt;br /&gt;
*When Homestar goes to return his cool shades to Bubs, in the second wide shot, Homestar is suddenly standing to the left of where he was in the first wide shot.&lt;br /&gt;
*With the Yella Shades on, the paint drips off the lens over his right eye, but the drops fall in front of the left side of the mouth.&lt;br /&gt;
*As he walks back from Bubs' with the bag of four grapes, Homestar's walkcycle doesn't quite fit the speed at which he is walking.&lt;br /&gt;
*After the scene with Marzipan singing in front of the blue and red tapes, the Cheat's drumming is one beat off, that is, he is hitting the snare drum when he should be hitting the bass drum and vice-versa. &lt;br /&gt;
*The Cheat is not animated during the cymbal crash at the end of the song.&lt;br /&gt;
*Closer to the end of the song, The Cheat is hitting his snare drum, but the sound produced is that of a low tom drum.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Inside References===&lt;br /&gt;
*The show Strong Bad is watching is the &amp;quot;killer truck&amp;quot; show The Cheat watched in [[privileges]].&lt;br /&gt;
*The amps that Marzipan plays through are from [[different town]].&lt;br /&gt;
*Strong Mad playing the bass was mentioned in [[guitar]], but this is the first time we've actually seen it.&lt;br /&gt;
*Strong Sad patting his belly makes the same dodgeball noise it made in [[modeling]].&lt;br /&gt;
*Strong Sad mentions that he likes to talk to walls in his [[Strong Sad#Character Video Transcript|character video]].&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;==Fixing spelling==&lt;br /&gt;
I fixed a couple of spelling errors:  &amp;quot;parodys&amp;quot; &amp;gt; &amp;quot;parodies&amp;quot;, and changed &amp;quot;cinema&amp;quot; to &amp;quot;cinematic&amp;quot;.  Just so you guys know I wasn't fixing the transcripted stuff.  - MHG&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Where did it go? ==&lt;br /&gt;
It is gone... it dissapeared...&lt;br /&gt;
== Can I be the first to say &amp;quot;COOL!&amp;quot; ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
TBC have really done it this time! Great music, title screen, but now on the Fanstuf wiki we need to call him 1-up, not Kidstar. sigh... - [[User:Ooy|Futuramaooy]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Like Zero Wing in 2 Ways==&lt;br /&gt;
This game reminds me of Zero Wing in two ways.&lt;br /&gt;
1. Translating errors (fake in this game, obviously)&lt;br /&gt;
2. Long levels with no check points.  I can't get past the first level in either game.  Every time you die, no matter how far you are in the level, you go back to the beginning.  And you can't save in the middle either. --[[User:152.163.101.8|152.163.101.8]] 14:59, 21 Mar 2005 (MST)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Actually, in Zerowing when you die, it'll bring you to a midpoint, if you've gotten that far.  I've beaten the entire game so I should know.  =P  --nickshorts&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Man, this is ''hard''!==&lt;br /&gt;
Holy Crap! This game is so hard (to me) it blows my mind! Tough jumps, no checkpoints, the works! I can't even beat level 1.2! Arrrrgh! ...Whew. Glad I got that outta my system. On a lighter note, this is a great game, if not a bit hard. -[[User:acekirby13|acekirby13]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Difficultly fun==&lt;br /&gt;
This game is hard, but I found it fun. I guess I'm good a video games or something, because although I was challenged, I beat the whole game in under an hour. Can't wait for more levels. --[[User:Joshua|Joshua]] 15:46, 21 Mar 2005 (MST)&lt;br /&gt;
:Indeed... more levels seem an inevitability (why else do they have scroll buttons in the &amp;quot;CONTINUTE&amp;quot; menu?). As for the difficulty... well, let's just say it reflects the ''Mega Man'' series in more ways than one. ;) --[[User:Shadow Hog|Shadow Hog]] 16:16, 21 Mar 2005 (MST)&lt;br /&gt;
::The Brothers Chaps captured the oldschool Mega Man feel better than I would have expected. I hope they don't get sued by Capcom! [[User:Homestar Coder|Aurora Szalinski]] 16:51, 21 Mar 2005 (MST)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==BEAT THAT!==&lt;br /&gt;
I beat the whole game (Stage 1.1 to 3.3) in 19 minutes without a single game over. Can anyone beat that? (I did lose two lives though) --[[User:Joshua|Joshua]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Am I the only one... ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
...who can't get the plain .SWF working? I can play the game (beat it not too long ago, good game, can't wait for the expansion packs-of-sorts), but only using the standard link. I can't play it online or offline using just the .SWF file. Firefox stays perpetually on &amp;quot;Load it up&amp;quot;. IE6 gets farther than that, as it goes to a black screen after that and never gets out. So... anyone else? --[[User:Shadow Hog|Shadow Hog]] 19:26, 21 Mar 2005 (MST)&lt;br /&gt;
:I couldn't get the .swf file loading on my computer. It would just stay a blank black screen. The regular game worked fine, though. --[[User:Joshua|Joshua]] 20:15, 21 Mar 2005 (MST)&lt;br /&gt;
It's working for me in IE, but in Firefox it just stays on the loading screen. edit: actually, offline it doesn't work on either. --[[User:Dark Grapefruit|DG]] 11:31, 22 Mar 2005 (MST)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Is the game meant to...==&lt;br /&gt;
Drop you into a giant hole at the beginning of Level 1.1? The game loads up, but as soon as I click play game, I get dropped into a pit until I die 3 times. Any ideas, or is it whatever glitched up [[virus]] for me? --[[User:Venusy|Venusy]] 02:36, 22 Mar 2005&lt;br /&gt;
:I hear on Fark that it depends on your browser. Try switching to another. [[User:The Lyrical Wondermind|The Lyrical Wondermind]] 19:39, 21 Mar 2005 (MST)&lt;br /&gt;
::This happened to me too, while running IE. I tried Mozilla and it worked. [[User:Homestar Coder|Aurora Szalinski]] 19:40, 21 Mar 2005 (MST)&lt;br /&gt;
:::Thank you, but annoyingly enough, I can't install any alternative browser. My administrator believes that they let in viruses. --[[User:Venusy|Venusy]] 02:52, 22 Mar 2005&lt;br /&gt;
:::I had the same problem, except for me the bug happened in Opera but it worked in IE. --JZ&lt;br /&gt;
:Found the problem (for me at least), in Version 1.1, there's a little notice saying &amp;quot;Flash 7 Required&amp;quot;. I only have Flash 6. I wonder why TBC didn't go for the full screen message, a la [[Duck Guardian]]. --[[User:Venusy|Venusy]] 06:30, 22 Mar 2005&lt;br /&gt;
::Well, that's probably what your problem is indeed... but specifically, I'm guessing the game isn't loading the XML files from the leveldata folder, hence nothing happens. --[[User:Shadow Hog|Shadow Hog]] 09:35, 23 Mar 2005 (MST)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Music==&lt;br /&gt;
If anyone could find the game's music files, I'd be much obliged. That was my favorite part. [[User:The Lyrical Wondermind|The Lyrical Wondermind]] 19:47, 21 Mar 2005 (MST)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Same here, I was listening to it whilst working on assignments, but I found that if you open up the game and start, leave it for about half an hour without doing anything, the music just stops and doesn't come back unless you lose a life. [[User:M.J|M.J]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The first level's music is top-notch if extremely Sonic. Not as good as Duck Guardian, mind.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Actually, it strikes me as much more like - surprise! - ''Mega Man'' tunes, particularly the opening stage of ''MMVII''. --[[User:Shadow Hog|Shadow Hog]] 09:32, 23 Mar 2005 (MST)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I'm pretty sure online Flash games don't have &amp;quot;music files&amp;quot; It's been my experience that Flash usually packs all its resources (sound, bmps) into the final SWF.&lt;br /&gt;
*Oh, well. Maybe they'll add it to [http://videlectrix.com/videlectrix_music.html Videlectrix Music] soon. [[User:The Lyrical Wondermind|The Lyrical Wondermind]] 11:07, 23 Mar 2005 (MST)&lt;br /&gt;

At the [[NYU Talk - 1 Mar 2005]] they showed an awesome demo to this, and as I recall, I think the sporks from 2.2 were originally in 1.1 and 1.2. The first two levels that TBC made were 1.1 and 3.1.--[[User:Homeschool Winner|Homeschool Winner]] 21:28, 22 Mar 2005 (MST)&lt;br /&gt;

== JoyToKey (This is a little OT) ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anyone with a joypad needs to download [http://hp.vector.co.jp/authors/VA016823/joytokey/english.html JoyToKey]. It's especially important for this game; really adds to the feel. Total, man. --[[User:70.25.9.49|70.25.9.49]] 23:00, 21 Mar 2005 (MST)&lt;br /&gt;

== Capsules ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*The health-restoring pills are a reference to the Strong Bad E-Mail time capsule.&lt;br /&gt;
** They are also a reference to the Scrolling Shooter Games Menu, where you can get similar capsules to change your ship. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tons of games have capsules and it's doubtful this is an inside reference. Didn't the original Megaman hae capsules? Granted they looked different, but I don't think this is a reference to [[time capsule]], and I think it's a coincidence that the games menu also has capsules. What's next, someone chimes in with &amp;quot;It may be a reference to Dr. Mario&amp;quot;? Sorry, I'm over-analytical so I'll keep it since others may not agree with me on this. If anyone else does though, maybe we should take this to [[STUFF]]. --[[User:70.25.9.49|70.25.9.49]] 23:07, 21 Mar 2005 (MST)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Although I'm not sure about the games menu reference anymore, I do believe it's a reference to time capsule because:&lt;br /&gt;
*They are identical looking&lt;br /&gt;
*In time capsule, the pill gave him an energy boost.&lt;br /&gt;

== About the Gas stoves... ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What's the big deal? I feel that Homestar Runner's world is on a different plane of reality. It obviouslty is, but in saying on the official Wiki page that gas stoves are supposed to be obsolete by 20X6? What is 20X6? 2016? Gas is most likely to run out in 2025 in OUR world. In Homestar's world, there may be abundant reserves of oil. Have you ever seen anyone drive a car(for real) in Free Country, USA? They may well use mainly solar power. Any oil lamps in Free Country? well, I just thought it necessary to comment. Thanks for reading it.&lt;br /&gt;

== CONTINUTE? ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Early on I added a comment about the CONTINUTE item in the main menu being misspelled possibly intentionally, but it was removed in the revision http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Stinkoman_20X6&amp;amp;diff=56256&amp;amp;oldid=56255.  This still exists in Version 1.1.  I guess this item was removed because it was too obvious, given that the poor translation is already specified?  Just wondering.&lt;br /&gt;

== this and peasant's quest. ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
in peasant's quest, it seems the cookies expire after you close your browser window.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
is there a way to tweak the cookie to not die, or is it supposed to keep active and i just need to adjust cookie settings?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Continute not working? ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I got all the way to level 2.2 before I got a Game Over, but the continute button wouldn't work. Is there a problem wth my browser, or maybe a new version of Flash Player I need to get?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I've had the same problem. Anyone know why the continue function isn't working?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Continue&amp;quot; remains greyed-out for me as well.  My browser's set to accept all cookies from homestarrunner.com, and I can't see anything in my Flash prefs about denying local storage (it's set to allow homestarrunner.com to store 100K of data currently).  For reference, I'm running this on Linux, Mozilla 1.7.5, and Flash 7.0.25.  [[User:sekhmet|sekhmet]] 14:05, 23 Mar 2005 (MST)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Ah, seems that v1.3 has fixed the problems.  My system is now allowing me to access the continue menu. [[User:sekhmet|sekhmet]] 12:52, 24 Mar 2005 (MST)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
' Happened to me too. My guess is the versoin change from 1.0 to 1.1 --[[User:70.25.9.49|70.25.9.49]] 16:14, 23 Mar 2005 (MST)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I have the same problem.  If someone out there can actually use the continue, could you please post a message on how it works, and what browser you're using, etc...?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Seems to be fixed in v1.3.&lt;br /&gt;
** Indeed it does.  Works for me now. [[User:sekhmet|sekhmet]] 12:52, 24 Mar 2005 (MST)&lt;br /&gt;

== Glitch ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:stinkoman-glitch.png|thumb|220px|Stinkoman stand on air!]]&lt;br /&gt;
I found a little glitch in the game, just wanted to share :)&lt;br /&gt;
It's in Level 1.1, you'll probably recognize the spot. I'm guessing the box for the ledge on the right side passes through the wall.&lt;br /&gt;
*Looks like it. I've noticed that before. Looks pretty funny actually.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Hey, the game is now apparently v1.2 I think this glitch has been fixed.&lt;br /&gt;
::Nope, it's still there. I don't think they'll bother fixing it, it doesn't make any real difference IMO.&lt;br /&gt;
*This is so stupid! I got all the way to level 2.2, and got stuck in that place you can't escape (I never died out), so I refreshed the page, and I looked at the continue button, only to find it didn't work! I am so fed up with this! Someone better find some way to fix this, 'cause I'm not playiong through all that again! Stinkoman moves way too slow to have to go through that excruciatingly tempoed sidescrolling nightmare again! Can someone please fix this, or find a solution, that doesn't make you have to play the game all over again? Much thanks in advance.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

== XML ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Did anyone notice that you can download and edit the XML files to create new levels?  This could be good for the Fanstuff Wiki, if anyone gets it working.  --[[User:Ed smildE|&amp;lt;font face=&amp;quot;tw cen mt&amp;quot;&amp;gt;E&amp;lt;small&amp;gt;D&amp;lt;/small&amp;gt;S&amp;lt;small&amp;gt;MILDE&amp;lt;/small&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/font&amp;gt;]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- Care to share where they are? :) --[[User:AndrewNeo|AndrewNeo]] 18:05, 22 Mar 2005 (MST)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Well, I think you have to edit the flash file to get them to work offline first (which is not too hard).  They are at:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[http://homestarrunner.com/stinkogame/levelData/level1.1.1.xml]&lt;br /&gt;
[http://homestarrunner.com/stinkogame/levelData/level1.1.2.xml]&lt;br /&gt;
[http://homestarrunner.com/stinkogame/levelData/level1.2.1.xml]&lt;br /&gt;
[http://homestarrunner.com/stinkogame/levelData/level1.2.2.xml]&lt;br /&gt;
[http://homestarrunner.com/stinkogame/levelData/level1.3.3.xml]&lt;br /&gt;
[http://homestarrunner.com/stinkogame/stinkogame.swf]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Those are the ones I found in my temp folder (even though I didn't get to those levels).  If you go to ''View'' -&amp;gt; ''Page Source'' in Firefox, you can kinda figure out how it works (maybe).  --[[User:Ed smildE|&amp;lt;font face=&amp;quot;tw cen mt&amp;quot;&amp;gt;E&amp;lt;small&amp;gt;D&amp;lt;/small&amp;gt;S&amp;lt;small&amp;gt;MILDE&amp;lt;/small&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/font&amp;gt;]]&lt;br /&gt;
''Edit:  Darn, the links don't work.  They are in some other folder.  Once I figure out the folder name, the game will work offline.  And they don't show up on Google yet.''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ooh - found it - They're in another folder called &amp;quot;levelData.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
[[User:Ed smildE|&amp;lt;font face=&amp;quot;tw cen mt&amp;quot;&amp;gt;E&amp;lt;small&amp;gt;D&amp;lt;/small&amp;gt;S&amp;lt;small&amp;gt;MILDE&amp;lt;/small&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/font&amp;gt;]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
-As a note for other people wanting to edit, you need to get the 5 level files, the main swf, and the object library: [http://homestarrunner.com/stinkogame/objectLibrary.swf]. (You can see some game graphics if you view that file)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It's a pretty simple almost-XML format, I'm making a level editor for it now.&lt;br /&gt;
[[User:Travis Wells|Travis Wells]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Woah. New enemy in that library. If anything confirms another set of levels coming up, that would. --[[User:Shadow Hog|Shadow Hog]] 15:07, 23 Mar 2005 (MST)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Hey, I was just about to make a level editor for it, but it probably won't be very good.  [[User:Ed smildE|&amp;lt;font face=&amp;quot;tw cen mt&amp;quot;&amp;gt;E&amp;lt;small&amp;gt;D&amp;lt;/small&amp;gt;S&amp;lt;small&amp;gt;MILDE&amp;lt;/small&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/font&amp;gt;]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Hey, if you decompile the flash file for the game you'll see there is already a level editor in there on the script for sprite 761.  Unfortunately I don't know anything about flash, so I don't know what to do with that, or how to get to it, but someone must.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Filmography?==&lt;br /&gt;
I've been wondering, does this count as an appearance in Stinkoman Filmography, or do games not count? --[[User:Venusy|Venusy]] 20:57, 23 Mar 2005 (GMT)&lt;br /&gt;
*On this site, I'm sure there'd be no way to stop people from saying so. However; I in all due respects, say if it's a FILMography, it's for FILMS. Go see if there's some kind of GAME-ograpgy if you want to count that!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Save file ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Does anyone know the name of the file which holds the save data for the game? I have downloaded all the other necessary files but I want to have a save file in there so I don't have to play through all the levels again (Yes, I have beaten the first 3.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On XP it's the C:\Documents and Settings\&amp;lt;USERNAME&amp;gt;\Application Data\Macromedia\Flash Player\#SharedObjects\&amp;lt;randomID&amp;gt;\www.homestarrunner.com\stinkogame\stinkogame.swf\stinkoman.sol file.&lt;br /&gt;
I haven't checked, but I imagine on 9x/ME it's in the C:\Windows\Application Data\... folder. &lt;br /&gt;
No idea on other OSes. [[User:Travis Wells|Travis Wells]]&lt;br /&gt;

== &amp;lt;s&amp;gt;Level 3.1&amp;lt;/s&amp;gt; Level 3.2 -- HOW!? ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
How do you beat level 3.1? Do you have to collect some fixed amount of gold or wait a certan amount of time? I can't beat it!&lt;br /&gt;
:Collect 20 pieces of gold from the rain drops. I believe it tells you that when you start the level. --[[User:Shadow Hog|Shadow Hog]] 09:22, 24 Mar 2005 (MST)&lt;br /&gt;
::Oops, I didn't read that. Well I got to 3.2, but now I can't get more than 4. Every freakin' piece of bread is surrounded by like 50 other things. Plus, there's one piece every like 50 screens.&lt;br /&gt;
:::You have to collect 10 pieces of bread, and each bad item deletes a bread you got. That's really all there is to it. A good idea is to just avoid everything until you reach a bread all by itself. It's not really as hard as you say. --[[User:Joshua|Joshua]] 15:08, 24 Mar 2005 (MST)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Proofs of more levels ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Is anyone else really annoyed by all the fun facts in the &amp;quot;Remarks&amp;quot; section that say &amp;quot;This is shown in the game so it means there will be more levels&amp;quot;? I'm not going to get RID of them, because they are true, but it seems pretty obvious by the MORE LEVELS SOON screen that there will be more levels. We don't need any other worthless proof.

Hey...I just noticed something...the game is initially set to low quality. If you make it better, it just looks more blurry. --[[User:Color Printer|Color Printer]] 18:46, 24 Mar 2005 (MST)&lt;br /&gt;

'''Freshley's''' is a [[Free Country, USA]] shoe company. The box for Freshley's shoes is white with the words &amp;quot;Freshley's&amp;quot; written in orange. According to [[Strong Bad]], the name is appropriate, because they are &amp;quot;about the freshest shoes you can imagine.&amp;quot; It is unknown if they are related to [http://www.mrsfreshleys.com/ Mrs. Freshleys] pastries.
