Can he be the guy?
Wants to be the guy

1-Up is Homestar Runner's 20X6 counterpart. Everybody says Stinkoman's the guy, but 1-Up wants to be the guy too. Stinkoman wouldn't let him because he was just a kid, and maybe he will let him when 1-Up gets older. However, the description for Level 5 in Stinkoman 20X6 says that 1-Up proved he's not just a kid in the previous level. Stinkoman has yet to acknowledge this.

He is often squished by Pan Pan, usually to Stinkoman's great delight. His most notable accomplishment outside of Stinkoman 20X6 is that he found Homestar's "time box" in time capsule. 1-Up missed a challenge in Under Construction, which Stinkoman took care of, and Pan Pan, Stinkoman, and 1-Up all ate pudding because they deserved a break.

His name comes from the video game term for an extra life. The name wasn't officially revealed until Stinkoman 20X6 debuted. The description of Level 4 in Stinkomanual calls him "1up the extra man"; therefore, it is possible that it is his full name.

1-Up's physical characteristics seem to follow Strong Bad's Japanese Cartoon rules, (tiny mouth/not visible when closed, ridiculously huge when opened; robot boots). Nevertheless, he lacks blue hair, (although in Main Page 17, mousing over "Store" results in giving 1-Up this trait). 1-Up is one of the few characters in the Homestar Runner universe who has a visible nose.
