''{A fake loading screen appears, styled after the loading screens, with a pixelated version of the Homestar Runner logo. After a few seconds, it cuts to The Field, where all the main characters are standing. The dialogue below is accessed by clicking on the characters.}''

HOMESTAR RUNNER: Everybody! Lah-dee-dah-dee-dah!

HOMESTAR RUNNER: Hey Strong Bad, I really like your wrestleman costume.

STRONG BAD: Oh, yeah, Homestar. I really like your about-to-get-beat-up costume.

HOMESTAR RUNNER: Yeah... I thought it was a good one too.

HOMESTAR RUNNER: Marzipan, are you okay? Your eyes look all funny.

MARZIPAN: Homestar, that's not nice! It isn't easy making a pixelated face.

STRONG BAD: Pffch! Yeah... yeah, Marzipan... you&mdash; you look great.

HOMESTAR RUNNER: So Coach Z... How did your team do this year?

COACH Z: Oh, same as last year! We was undeforted!

STRONG BAD: Uh, Coach, would you mind telling me what sport it is you play?

COACH Z: Well, uh... it's, uh... prabably somethin' like, uh... Ah, jeez.

Ultra Voice Mode
On December 30, 2015, SRMX12 added a feature called "Ultra Voice Mode" into the teaser. While activated, the characters' speech had audio to go along with it, voiced by SRMX12 himself. It could be activated by pressing space, which caused the following message to appear on the screen:

>open "uvm_warning.txt"

Whoa! Are you sure you want to turn on

Ultra Voice Mode? Just a warning... it's

pretty bad. I am by no means ,

so please don't judge me here. I just made

this as a test... this mode may or may not be

included in the final version of Strong Bad's

Attractive Game for Cool People.

To activate Ultra Voice Mode, press space

again. To cancel, click anywhere on the

screen.

On November 3, 2016, SRMX12 removed Ultra Voice Mode. The following message now appears upon pressing space:

>open "uvm_apology.txt" Ultra Voice Mode is no more. My voice acting was horrible. From here on out, Pixstar Runner is strictly words captions. Click or press space and leave me 'lone.

Screenshots
The teaser for Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People includes multiple screenshots from the game, as a preview. They can be accessed using the blue button in the bottom-right corner of the screen, with a white plus sign on it. Clicking this button will cause the following message to appear:

As part of this teaser for Strong Bad's

Attractive Game for Cool People, I've

decided to include some top-secret ultra-

awesome screenshots from the game. Not

all of them are necessarily final, but they

should give you a nice sample of the flava.

Press space to view the screenshots; you

can use the arrow keys to scroll through

them. Click the screen to cancel.

Pressing space will display the first screenshot. The arrow keys may then be used to scroll forwards or backwards through the images. This mode can be exited at any time by clicking the blue button in the bottom-left corner of the screen, with a white arrow on it.

Trivia
> open "uvm_info.txt"
 * Homestar's eyes blink every five seconds while standing in The Field.
 * The background for both the Ultra Voice Mode messages and the screenshot info message is black with a reflection of Strong Bad's face in the bottom right corner of the screen, similar to the screens on.
 * About a day before Ultra Voice Mode was released, the following message would appear if the space bar was pressed, in the same format of the other messages:

Hey, you found the secret code to

view this screen! This is currently a

placeholder for Ultra Voice Mode, which is

an only-slightly-lame feature that should be

coming really soon. Another day or so. See

you then!

Press space again to make this screen go

away.
 * On November 3, 2016, the same day Ultra Voice Mode was removed, the background was changed to an updated, better-formatted image of The Field.
