Button Effects

• Toons — The color of the sky changes for each rollover: first, from its original blue to orange; then to purple; red; lavender; and back to blue.
• Games — An airplane flies by and drops a bomb onto the field.
• Characters — Strong Bad jumps on screen. He disappears pixel-by-pixel when the cursor moves off the button.
• Downloads — Background is turned into a moving road from a racing game.
• Store — Marzipan goes across the screen chasing a butterfly with a net.
• E-mail — Strong Bad, holding the Enchanted Chalice from Adventure, runs away from Yorgle the Atari Dragon while yelling, "Somebody get this freakin' duck away from me!"

Fun Facts

Remarks

8-bit is enough, right?

• The scrolling road is like a daytime version of Nighttime Driving Type Game from Strong Bad's Message Bored.
• In the .swf, an 8-bit mouse cursor is visible outside the frame. This could possibly be from a scrapped idea to have a "custom cursor" in this page.

Goofs

The plane isn't low. It's just in the foreground.

• The wing of the airplane will pass over any action happening in The Field. The only thing it does not pass over is Homestar Runner's head.
• After Strong Bad runs across the screen when the cursor rolls over "E-mail", the Flash file restarts itself, causing the What's New, Main Page, and Weeklies links to disappear for one frame and the What's New button cycle to restart.

Inside References

• Strong Bad's line is a reference to Homestar Runner's line from the first deleted scene from In Search Of The Yello Dello DVD.

Real-World References

• The sound effects for the "Games" and "E-mail" buttons are taken from the Atari 2600 games Combat and Seaquest.
• The sound effect for the "Characters" button is from the Atari 2600 game Pitfall!, when Pitfall Harry would collect a gold bar, diamond ring, etc.
• The effect when Strong Bad disappears is from Pac-Man for the Atari 2600. The first sound effect made on the "Downloads" button is the sound Pac-Man makes when eating a pellet.

Fast Forward

• Strong Bad calling a dragon chasing him a "Freaking Duck" would later be redone with Trogdor as the Downloads mouseover effect for Main Page 27.
