Toons — A hot air balloon made in the likeness of Strong Bad's head passes, with Strong Bad riding in it. Strong Bad sings, "Would you like to ride in my beautiful balloon?"
Games — A zeppelin on fire passes by.
Characters — Homestar suddenly stops falling, with a "SCREECH!" braking noise.
Downloads — The star on his shirt starts to peel off. Moving the cursor away from the button returns his star to its original position.
Store — He starts falling up.
E-mail — The Yello Dello flies by.

Fun Facts

Trivia

This is the first Main Page to have Homestar in his regular clothes.
Homestar's propeller is the propeller from his May 2000 design. His mouth is from the February 2001 design, which would not be fixed until Main Page 16.

Remarks

Relative to the clouds, Strong Bad's hot air balloon is actually sinking pretty quickly.
The Yello Dello appears to be falling at the same speed as Homestar.

Goofs

When Strong Bad is singing, his lips aren't moving.
Strong Bad's line gets cut off before he should finish singing, making it sound like he's saying "balloo".
Sometimes when Homestar stops falling, the propeller on his hat is still blurred.
When the mouse is moved off Downloads, Homestar's star goes down, and then pops back up for a second.
When Homestar reverses direction, his propeller continues to move in the same cycle. However, it should start spinning in the opposite direction.

Inside References

The page title "What's so great about Homestar Runner?" may be a reference to the page title of Main Page 1, "What's not to love about Homestar Runner?"

Real-World References

"Would you like to ride in my beautiful balloon?" is a line from "Up, Up and Away" by the group The Fifth Dimension.
The zeppelin on fire is a reference to the Hindenburg. However, the Hindenburg disaster happened while docking rather than in mid-flight.
The sound when Homestar stops falling is the tire-screech noise to simulate stopping used by Hanna-Barbera.
