1-Up
From Homestar Runner Wiki
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 when 1-Up gets older (this could be a reference to the animated movie "Akira"). However, the description for Level 5 in Stinkoman 20X6 says that 1-Up proved that he's not just a kid in the previous level. Stinkoman has yet to acknowledge this.
1-Up 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 the Stinkomanual calls him "1up the extra man"; therefore, it is possible that this is his full name.
1-Up's physical characteristics follow some of Strong Bad's Japanese Cartoon rules: tiny mouth/not visible when closed, ridiculously huge when opened, and robot boots. However, 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.
