Other Hazards
These are hazards which are in the game but not named in the manual, so the names here aren't official.
| Name | Image | Description | Level |
|---|---|---|---|
| Drill |   | Drills come out of both the floor and the ceiling. | 1, 2, 6, -0, 10 |
| Trapdoor |  | A trapdoor is a platform that alternates between the up and down positions. In Level -0, these platforms are visually inverted, as in they are safe only when they appear to be in the down position and will not support Stinkoman when they appear to be in the up position. The visual inversion does not change the length of time they remain safe for each interval. | 1, 2, 5, 6, 7, -0, 10 |
| Spork |    | Sporks come up out of the ground in a cycle, and cause damage even when they're retracted. | 2,-0, 10 |

| Lava-fall |  | Lava-falls are prevalent in the Lava Zone. They must be blocked with Stinkoman's giant fist to prevent 1-Up from getting burned. In Level -0, they do nothing. | 4, -0 |
| Tiles & Platforms |   | In the Lava Zone, Stinkoman must jump on a tile to move its corresponding platform, catching and carrying 1-Up to safety. Some tiles control multiple platforms. In Level -0, green tiles act as teleporters, and platforms crash down from the sky like the Bendini Sisters. | 4,-0 |
| Evaporating Clouds |  | Evaporating clouds disappear quickly when Stinkoman jumps onto them. They reappear a short time later. They have a blue tint, so they can be identified apart from regular clouds. | 6, -0, 10 |
| Retractable Ladder |  | Retractable ladders extend and retract periodically, causing them to be temporarily out of reach. | 7, -0, 10 |
| Poison Capsule |  | A poison capsule damages Stinkoman rather than restoring his energy. | -0 |
| Spike Coral |  | Spike corals are dangerous hazards that spear out from the bottom or top of the caverns in Level 9. They retract after striking, but sometimes they only retract a short distance before extending again. Touching a spike coral costs one unit of energy. | 9 |
| Collapsing Floor |  | Collapsing floors are small floors made of skulls that appear in Level 10. They can be landed on three times before collapsing, though simply walking across them does not trigger the countdown. They respawn shortly after collapsing. | 10 |
| Timed Platform |  | Timed platforms are moving platforms that appear throughout Level 10. They can be seen moving either horizontally or vertically, and have various green dots that turn red once Stinkoman starts standing on the platform. After all the dots turn red, the platform disappears, dropping Stinkoman into whatever is below. They respawn shortly after disappearing. | 10 |
Items

Bosses
| Name | Image | Description | Shots to kill | Level |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tampo | 
|
Tampo is the robot whose brain comes back to challenge Stinkoman at the end of Level 1 for revenge. Its weak point is its cerebellum, which in this case is apparently a red ball at the base of the brain. Tampo takes 7 hits to kill. The more hits it takes, the faster it gets. For more information, see the Level 1 Walkthrough. | 7 | 1 |
| Brody | 
|
Brody is a giant chicken who tries to stomp Stinkoman with his feet. He stomps 6 times, then pecks at Stinkoman with his beak. Its weak point is its eye. For more information, see the Level 2 Walkthrough. | 5 | 2 |
| Stlunko | 
|
Stlunko is the robot hidden underneath the wall that Stinkoman jumps over in Level 3. It has a large conveyor belt that periodically switches directions, and it attempts to crush Stinkoman with its giant stone fists. Stlunko is defeated when its antenna is destroyed. Four hits for each of the four segments; 16 hits in all. For more information, see the Level 3 Walkthrough. | 16 | 3 |
| Saargtsson & Firey-Hot |  
|
Saargtsson is a dragon-like boss that jumps up from the lava and spits lasers up at Stinkoman, while its flame jet friend (Firey-Hot) fires down from the roof. Only the end of its tail is vulnerable. Each segment takes two hits, and the head takes 3 hits, for a total of 15. Firey-Hot is invulnerable. For more information, see the Level 4 Walkthrough. | 15 | 4 |
| Nebulon |  |
Nebulon is a large green space alien that shoots energy bullets out of his mouth in random directions. Each time he takes damage, he blows 1-Up back. He shoots bullets out the equal number of times he has taken damage, plus one. Each eye must be hit 4 times each to defeat him. In total, he takes 8 hits to defeat. For more information, see the Level 5 Walkthrough. | 8 | 5 |
| The Liekand |  |
The Liekand is a giant tornado with sunglasses that shoots out 3 bubbles and then jumps across the screen. Each time it shoots bubbles (except for the first time), it also tries to suck Stinkoman in. Every third time it jumps across the screen, it stops in the center and causes lightning bolts to fall. When The Liekand has only 4 hit points remaining, it will shoot 5 bubbles. Its sunglasses are its weak spot. For more information, see the Level 6 Walkthrough. | 14 | 6 |
| An Ice Machine |  |
An Ice Machine is, as its name suggests, a giant ice machine. It shoots ice cubes on the ground while shooting ice jets at the platform in front of it. After shooting several ice cubes, it turns off its jets and starts shooting ice into the air, causing icicles to fall from the sky. Its weak point is its eyes. For more information, see the Level 7 Walkthrough. | 7 | 7 |
| Ekersby |  | Ekersby is a robot formed from a pile of glitchy junk. It staggers back and forth, shooting bullets from its Uptant eyes and Downtant cannons and spearing the top platform with the two Sporks on its head. To damage it, Stinkoman must hit the ham inside the refrigerator while the door is open. The refrigerator door blocks shots, and each time the ham is hit, the door opens on the opposite side. The Downtants cannot be destroyed.
For more information, see the Level -0 Walkthrough. | 6 | -0 |
| Harvax XVII |  |
Harvax XVII is a giant hovering gangster robot that shoots bullets at the Stinkowing with a tommy gun. Every third round of bullets, he charges. His weak point is his mouth, when it is open. According to the Stinkomanual, Harvax XVII is a small but speedy octopus or squid, though Harvax himself claims in his quote: "That description is ALL WRONG!" However, the cast roll in the end credits does depict Harvax as a squid. For more information, see the Level 9 Walkthrough. A gangster who bears striking resemblance to Harvax XVII appears in the Homestar Ruiner Teen Girl Squad. | 15 | 9 |
| Worst End Boss Ever |  |
Worst End Boss Ever is the boss shown in the Skills of an Artist episode End Boss and is fought at the beginning of level 10. It moves back and forth shooting projectiles that move up and down towards Stinkoman. After taking four hits it will fire much more rapidly and charge at Stinkoman, but one more hit will kill it. For more information, see the Level 10 Walkthrough. | 5 | 10 |
| Z Sabre |  |
Z Sabre is the true identity of the Shadowy Figure and the penultimate boss of the game. When standing he holds his sword in front of him, protecting him from attacks. He has multiple attacks that he can use, these being doing a rushing slice towards Stinkoman, jumping into the air and stabbing downwards, crouching and firing a beam that goes across the ground, or flying into the air and shooting multiple rounds of four shots. After any of these attacks then he can be hit (with the exception of the flying attack). For more information, see the Level 10 Walkthrough. | 7 | 10 |
| Mecha-Trogador |   |
Mecha-Trogador, as the name implies, is a robotic version of Trogador and is the final boss. According to Z Sabre, Mecha-Trogador is actually his "pet", whom he will always summon to try and finish off his enemies as a last resort. He is fought in an area with two platforms, one that moves side to side and the other up and down. He always attacks in the same pattern, first firing his toe as a missile, then punching with his robotic beefy arm, then charging up and breathing a stream of blue fire towards the ground, then shooting a green projectile diagonally upwards from his nose. At first his weak spot is his eyes, but after taking three hits his eyes will close and a hatch on his chest will periodically open revealing the Crystal Shards, which are now his weak point. After those take three hits his eyes will open again and be vulnerable, and so on until he is defeated. For more information, see the Level 10 Walkthrough. | 18 | 10 |
| Sticklyman |  
|
Sticklyman is a small stickman wielding a shovel whom Stinkoman battles during the end credits. His movement patterns are identical to those of Val Yancey, though he will occasionally jump as well to catch Stinkoman off guard. While Stinkoman can put Sticklyman into hitstun with attacks (and vice versa), neither can actually do damage to the other, meaning the fight will continue endlessly until the credits fade. Sticklyman only begins attacking when Stinkoman moves; if Stinkoman does not move or attack for a few seconds, Sticklyman will once again begin standing still. | N/A | 10.5 |
Unused Enemies
| Name | Image | Description | Shots to kill | XML ID |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Unknown | 
|
A variant of Grundy sporting a pair of cool shades, which also takes two hits to kill instead of just one. Notably, this enemy actually appears in the similarly-unused (and unfinished) Level 2.4. | 2 | 100 |
| Unknown | 
|
An enemy resembling a giant Gokul, which would have been right at home in Level 4. Judging by its ActionScript class name, EnemyLavaHider, it was probably meant to go on the lower level as an obstacle for 1-Up. Whenever Stinkoman pounds his giant fist on the ground, no matter where on the screen it is, this enemy will switch between its retracted and extended states. It's harmless in its retracted state, but can hurt Stinkoman or 1-Up in its extended state. It's also completely invincible. | inv. | 101 |
| BounceBot | 
|
A hidden cameo! This "enemy" is the player character from a Flash game called BounceBot by Jez Swanson, programmer for Level 10. It hops around aimlessly and is completely harmless. It's also invincible, but hitting it will make it look sad for a second. | inv. | 99 |
| Bubs | 
|
This "enemy" is just Bubs from the non-20X6 universe. This is a leftover from a video Strong Bad tweeted in 2018 that showed Stinkoman punching Bubs in the face in Stinkoman 20X6, which itself was a reference to the next april fools thing. In-game, Bubs has no behavior or animations other than damaging the player on contact, and being launched spinning away when hit, as seen in the video. | 1 | 53 |
