Dangeresque 3: The Criminal Projective is the fourth episode of Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People game series, released November 17th, 2008. It was written by Mark Darin and The Brothers Chaps.
The long-awaited third episode of the much-beloved and well-acted Dangeresque series is finally released to the world!... Once Strong Bad can make it, that is.
Dangeresque will have to solve a number of mysteries - Why is Cutesy Buttons' beloved rainforest being polluted, what are Perducci and Killingyouguy up to, and just who is the nefarious Craig?
It is worth noting that since it utilizes the Wii graphics, the game is, in fact, in 3D, just as Strong Bad declared in stunt double. However, it is not anaglyphic.

{Strong Bad and Homestar are sitting in the Gremlin. The Cheat can just barely be seen running past the car with a tree to simulate movement.}

HOMESTAR RUNNER: {sounding annoyed} Take the shot!
{The screen flares "HOMESTAR RUNNER is 'Dangeresque, Too?'" in blue text, but then fades to orange, just like the last caption.}
{Homestar is back in the Field.}
HOMESTAR RUNNER: You got what you had coming to you, {he takes off his Dangeresque, Too? glasses} Toe-fu!

Fun Facts
Trivia
- This is the first episode of SBCG4AP where not all of the House of Strong is visitable, and the first episode not to have a Teen Girl Squad comic.
Remarks
- If the preview is watched following the end credits of Baddest of the Bands, The Stick appears in the background behind Bubs' stand, still covered in toilet paper. Watching the preview from the main menu, however, does not show The Stick at all.
- It took Strong Bad over 4 1/2 years to complete this "blockbuster", as dangeresque 3 marked the 114th day of production.
Inside References
- The two pieces of art in Dangeresque's office depict Strong Sad's dragon from dragon, and the "Deutsch Master" paining from portrait.
- Diet Brown originated in Teen Girl Squad Issue 13.
Real-World References
- The format of the text in the opening credits is the same as the movie Lethal Weapon.
- When you point the nunchuck gun at Dangeresque Too, he asks, "Do you want to get crazy? Oh, I'll get crazy!" Mel Gibson's character Martin Riggs says something very similar in Lethal Weapon.
- In responding to the first email, Dangeresque says that in basic training at Crooked Cop Academy you learn how to make cool noises with your mouth. This is another reference to Martin Riggs in Lethal Weapon, including right after the line Dangeresque Too references about getting crazy.
- The videotape of the villain brushing The Cheat's hair while his face is hidden references James Bond villain Ernst Stavro Blofeld.
- Dangeresque misunderstands Perducci's game of rock, paper, Baccarat, as rock, paper, Burt Bacharach.

- The "time card" in Perducci's game is for Embarrassing Idol, one of the shows being filmed at the TV studio in Sam and Max Episode 102: Situation: Comedy. The card itself comes from Sam and Max Episode 204: Chariot of the Dogs
- "Another Boot to the head, and another for Jenny and The Whimp" that Strong Bad says while beating up the Bear holding a shark is a refrence to the Frantics Skit titled "Boot to the head".
