Fun Facts
Trivia
- This was originally released as part of the 2003 April Fool's gag.
Remarks
- A good way to ensure victory is to fire bombs in quick succession top to bottom, and at the bottom going back to the by-then charged top catapult.
- During the ending cutscenes, an older design of the King of Town was used.
- Strong Bad cannot get points unless he actually hits the King, while the King only has to get a bomb to Strong Bad's side.
Glitches
- If you get a higher score a split second before the other hits you and the timer runs out, you win anyway, like 120-125.
- A good way to see the "You Win" screen is if you right-click and hit "Play" while the King is saying "I rule the school!" You have to play the Flash file to do this.
Inside References
- The short sound clip played at the start screen is taken from the menu for The King of Town DVD.
Real-World References
- "The punishment is not too bad, eh?" is a direct quote from the Beerhunter game segment on the Bob & Doug McKenzie "Great White North" album in which the "punishment" for opening the non-shaken beer is to drink it.
