Stinkoman runs right

Blue hair, anyone? Stinkoman's always got fightings and challenges to keep him busy. Jump and shoot your way to all ends of Planet K. End Boss feature!! --Videlectrix description

Stinkoman 20X6 is a side-scrolling platformer game which stars Stinkoman.

The Brothers Chaps showed it off at their talk at NYU. This game seems to be based off the Capcom Megaman series. It also parodys the poor "Japanese to English" translations common to video games of that era, similiar to those that appear on the current Games Menu.

Below is the text that appears in the introduction sequence:

On Planet K, Stinkoman is always
looking for a fighting or a challenge.
In 20X6, he can usually find one!

Easter Eggs

• Hover your mouse below "Controls" on the main menu to access the Instruction Booklet.
• Wait long enough at the title screen to see an intro cinema.
• Let Stinkoman stand idle in the game for a few seconds and he'll start yawning.

Outside References

• The sprites used for Stinkoman are recoloured 8-bit Megaman sprites.
• The badly translated intro is possibly a reference to Zero Wing. (All your base are belong to us.)
• "Weepy princess" in the Stinkomanual refers to princess Peach from the Mario video games

Bosses

• Tampo - Tampo's weak point is the darker colored, lower part of the brain. You can only hit it when it comes near the ground, and you'll need to jump. It starts by coming to the lower right. Stand just in range and shoot it, but make sure you're on the ground when his shots reach you, they shouldn't come close. He will then float to the top-right. You want to be closer to the left edge of the screen to be able to jump this shot. Now run to the right, about mid-screen. Tampo will do the exact same thing on the left, then will return and repeat.

Fun Facts

• This game is the first official mention of the 20X6 version of Homestar Runner's actual name, 1-Up.
• In the bottom right-hand corner of the START GAME! screen it says "V1.0 EPISODES 1-3" this could be hinting at a sequel.

Inside References

• "Check out my new gameplay!" is a reference to Stinkoman's quote "Check out my new cosplay!" in 3 Times Halloween Funjob.
