[edit] Summary

The hero of "Boogerman" is a booger-tossing, noisily burping, fart-spewing man named Snotty Ragsdale. While he lives his normal life as an eccentric millionaire, his natural "in-stinks" come in handy when he dons the mask of the smelly hero Boogerman.

[edit] Story

It was a dark and stormy evening at Professor Stinkbaum's lab, where he was secretly building a machine that would save the world from pollution by transexisting it to Dimension X Crement. Eccentric millionaire Snotty Ragsdale took a job at the lab to investigate and find out where the pollution is going. He had a bad feeling about the strange machine.

As Ragsdale dusted near the machine a cloud of dust rose to his nose, causing him to release a mighty sneeze. The power of his nostrils broke the machine and a large arm appeared out of nowhere to steal the machine’s main power source. With a swift jog he disappeared into the Men’s room and returned as his costumed alter ego, Boogerman! He jumped into the machine’s portal to follow the mysterious arm and solve the mystery...

[edit] Abilities

  • Boogers
    • Boogerman can dig into his nose and flick boogers with deadly precision. If he drinks a bottle of milk he can also hock a loogie faster than a speeding bullet.
  • Burps
    • Boogerman’s gastronomical fortitude allows him to hold and release loud bursts of gas from his mouth. If he eats a spicy pepper he can also belch fire.
  • Farts
    • Boogerman’s derriere is capable of releasing toxic clouds of gas. If he eats a spicy pepper he can also fart flames or fly up in the air with his fart rocket.
  • Butt Stomp
    • Even when all his abilities are depleted, Boogerman is not defenseless. Leaping into the air, he crashes down on unsuspecting enemies butt-first, dealing a good blow of damage.

[edit] Game worlds

  • Flatulent Swamps
    • This dark world is home to slimy trees and gassy swamps. Hick Boy, the boss of this world, uses a chicken boomerang to attack those who enter his territory.
  • The Pits
    • The Pits is... well, the pits. The walls of flesh and paths of muscle tissue are guarded by Revolta, a hideous woman with a passion for Boogerman.
  • Boogerville
    • This crumbling town is home to Dimension X’s goblin citizens. They have Fly Boy to keep their town a rotten stink hole: just the way they like it.
  • Mucous Mountains and Nasal Caverns
    • The Mucous Mountains are more like a dangerous, never-ending cliff, though the occasional nasal passage leads to the sticky caverns within. Deodor Ant guards these mucous mines.
  • Pus Palace
    • This is the home of Boogermeister, the evil villain who stole the power source for the pollution machine. The opulent palace is decorated in green (quite the popular color around here) and is just as slimy as Boogermeister himself.

The Boogerman game had a secret ending, involving digitized men walking out in the room that the final credits happened in, and waving at the screen. It also showed some different credits.
