File:YeahYouWon.PNG

File:Magnify-clip.png

Yeah, you won.

  • Players who complete all seven levels will be rewarded with a secret screen. It shows two women in bikinis holding up The Cheat, who is holding a pizza trophy, and the message "yeah, you won." appears on the screen. Also, if the player gets a perfect score (don't lose any lives), the winning screen will have "PERFECT SCORE!" on the bottom.

Fun Facts

Trivia

  • Not counting Duck Pond, which was retconned as a Videlectrix game when the Atari 2600 version became a demo, this is the first game to be developed by Videlectrix.
  • Prior to being added to the Scrolling Shooter Games Menu, this game was originally an Easter egg in monster truck. This original version had a few differences:
    • There was only one level.
    • The winning screen was similar, but The Cheat held up a golbol instead of a pizza trophy.
  • A simplified homebrew version of this game for the Game Boy Advance was created by a fan.

Remarks

  • The title reads "Awexome Cross 98", but to the right in smaller print it reads "1987".
  • The accuracy counter at the end of level screen only takes buxx and deaths into account, and never goes higher than 84%.
  • It is easier to win the game if a lot of powerups are collected, as the jumps don't have to be as well timed.
  • The Cheat will crash within several pixels of the obstacle, making it look like he crashed in midair.

Glitches

  • In the old version, it is possible to get stuck in the air by jumping and hitting an obstacle at the same time.
  • The pickups and the obstacles move at different speeds.
  • In the Ruffle version of the game, dying to any obstacle will result in a death loop that cannot be escaped.

Inside References

  • Strong Bad refers to the pizza trophy as a possible reward for The Cheat's cartoon in crazy cartoon.
  • This game has another instance of the word "seriously".
  • The bucket of fried chicken is labeled "KOTFC", likely short for King of Town Fried Chicken, as well as a reference to KFC.

Real-World References

  • The sound effects for jumping and crashing are taken from Super Mario Bros. and the collecting buxx sound effects are taken from the Game Boy Advance port of the remastered Mario Bros. game.
    • The jump sound is the ceiling hit sound.
    • The crash sound is the brick block break sound.
  • The sound effect for Strong Mad slapping the Tire between levels comes from the arcade game Qix.
  • The "Yeah, you won" screen shows a scene similar to the Super Off Road series of video games.
  • The tire charging may be a reference to Sonic the Hedgehog's spin dash.

Fast Forward

  • In 8-Bit is Enough, Strong Bad mentions that the Videlectrix phone number is the same number as the cheat code to get a zillion men in Awexome Cross (though the lives are technically called mans in this game).
