	''{A lit version of Homestar Runner, similar to graphics seen on sports scoreboards, runs in place. A smaller version of Homestar runs across the top of the screen, leaving the letters "H O M E S T A R" from left to right, then runs offscreen. He re-enters at the bottom right leaving the letters "R U N N E R" from right to left, then runs off the left side of the screen. Appearing slightly larger from the left, he runs across the middle of the screen, causing the words "HOMESTAR" and "RUNNER" to scatter. He leaves his logo behind as he runs. The star from the logo elongates itself into a star-shaped tunnel, alternating in red, white and blue. Homestar then is zoomed upon and stands in front of a blue background with light blue stripes emanating from the center.}''

	* In the [[retroCRUSH Interview]], [[Mike Chapman]] revealed that he and [[Matt Chapman\|Matt]] did the singing to the background music and sped up their voices.

	~~=== Remarks ===~~

	* Sometimes on [[Halloween]], the page was replaced with a [[Ween Intro\|Halloween Intro]] that shows Homestar wearing orange and black. This intro always leads to [[Main Page 7]], the Halloween graveyard main page.
	* The HTML filename (intro.html) does not match its SWF counterpart, named newintro.swf. intro.swf is the Flash file for the [[Old Intro~~]].~~
	* Once the "skip" button disappears, clicking the star on Homestar's shirt jumps straight to the [[Main Pages]] without having to wait for Homestar to finish singing.
	* The lightbulbs that make up the outline of Homestar's picture have only a fraction of them glow.
	* The intro will only lead to [[Main Pages]] 1 through 14.

	~~''Lack of visible legs''~~

	* When Homestar opens his mouth, his hat changes to a darker red and goes back when he closes it.

	* The main menu for [[Everything Else, Volume Two]] depicts a felt version of Homestar on the blue background.
	* The intro to [[strongbad email.exe Disc Five]] starts as an expanded 3D version of this intro.
