Found: Three Skwak Pads

I'm not sure who these funky-shaped computers/communicators belong to. Two of them appear to be the same as each other, save for a color difference on the shell. One of them is apparently Xtreme, whatever that means. None of them appear to be functional, but maybe their creator can get them running again, if their creator can be found.

A little tired and bothered by the fact that the trio are very agreeable when it comes to helping Buzz, Delete or Hacker now. Matt is no longer the most resistant nor Inez the most skeptical. Only Digit is allowed to show any resistant and it doesn't even matter. They'll agree to it anyway. And Jackie no longer stands out as (usually) the most willing to give others a chance.

[moecartoons]

Merry Christmas Eve, you guys! Decided to pop in the ol' VHS of "The Cybersquad Saves Christmas!!" :)

Okay, me when I lie. Here's the og version!

[loonykatz]

Some refs for the adult Cybersquad from my Cyberchase fanfic, Spaced Out. It takes place 9 years after season 5, and Hacker destroys Motherboard, becoming the new ruler. Also there's violence, swearing, and guns. Also the green bird is Betty, a minor character that only appeared in The Snelfu Snafu but I turned her into one of the main ones. Also Inez and Slider's have slightly different styles than Matt and Jackie's cuz the latter's were a lot more recent.

It mostly revolves around Inez as she's my favorite of the three along with Slider. Slider is an ass to her at first due to trauma, but then develops feelings cuz I said so. They both actually have mental health struggles, but they are each other's anchors.

(And sorry if the Slider ref is suggestive, I wanted to show his scars lol :') )

Link to the fic (It's the first fic I ever finished in my life lmao): https://archiveofourown.org/works/51516079/chapters/130198348

Though fair warning, you probably won't enjoy it if you dislike Slider and Inez being shipped. I'm pretty much the CEO of Slinez.

Redraw of Digit reading an inappropriate bedtime story to the cybersquads and thank you for the ten ❤️

[kingmintyreturns]

okay, okay, you've twisted my arm. :P here are my partner's and my ocs for cyberchase. pixel is mine, byte is his.

basically, the hacker needed some cheap youngins to pretend to be his children in order to win Cyberdad of The Year. pixel and byte, being vagrants who will work for peanuts, happily oblige, though the plot fails. hacker, at first fully intending to get rid of them afterward, is impressed enough by their abilities (but mostly by their lack of standards) and lets them live in the wreaker's dungeon, working for shelter. fanart of pixel on the lower left by @umlexis !!

i probably shouldn't have to say this, but for the one pedant out there who will mention it--we don't condone the bad actions of our characters. they're villains. it's kind of their thing. :P also, as cyber imps, they're comparable in height to the cybersquad, but they're fully grown adults.

[luigi-makes-headcanons]

I rewatched some Bluey scenes soooo

yall know Daddy Dropoff and Baby Race? Good

Imagine Matt’s mother was adamant on getting him to walk, since he was her only child (i think) and felt a bit discouraged because of another child in mothers group nearly walking before him (Matt didn’t care he was too busy crawling backwards)

Then, a family friend named Joyce came along with her baby Jackie, and she set her down to play with Matt for a bit. She reassures Matt’s mother and the two lose contact for some reason (i don’t know either)

Then, years later the kids are in daycare. Jackie’s father played along with her being a wind-up toy as she waddled in the school, a shy Matt hiding behind a shelf. The two become friends that way, but since it was so long ago they don’t remember.

also matt doesn’t care if people call him Mattie because his Poppop did too

Cyberweek day 5: Crossover

Since cyberchase shifted focus from math to environmentalism, the best show for crossover with is Wild Kratts! The technology in WK makes it possible. Imagine the cybersquad helping the Kratt bros in the real world. Or maybe something funky happens with the Tortuga and it sends the crew to cyberspace?

Imagine the Kratt Krew finding out that the only thing standing between evil is a group of kids.

The Kratts wondering what species Digit is modeled after.

Inez geeking out over the creature power suits.

Jackie freaking out when she activates a flying mode

Matt choosing the coolest animal

Chris: "hey i thought my main color is green!"

Matt: "who said you have ownership over an entire color?"

Aviva: "BOTH of you can be green!"

Jimmy thinking they're just transported into a game, in fact it's his knowledge of games that ends up saving the day

Koki overwhelmed by the various sites and sights, who knew the net had a whole sentient population

Donita recommending a new villain suit for Hacker (much to his annoyance)

Buzz asking Gourmand if he has donuts

Delete is a secret fan because he likes bunnies just as much as the Kratts like animals

Zach being very impressed with how advanced Cyberspace is, proceeds to hatch a scheme to steal its secrets for himself

Poor Fabio just wants to go home, far away from that witch (and it's not Donita this time)

The lesson could be about how the internet is a useful tool for spreading information - and MISINFORMATION - and how to fact check.

Cyberchase on Pixter Console (part 2/?)

I wasn't sure that I was going to be able to make a sequel to my first post about the sole Cyberchase console game. Back then, I only had a low-quality scan of the manual. It told us plenty about the different mini-games on the cartridge. However, the screenshots were all monochrome.

But now...I have the cartridge. It's gotten a bit scuffed over the past ~20 years, but all of the kids managed to avoid hair, face, and brain damage. One thing that doesn't come across in the scan is that the white ring and white writing have a rainbow shimmer effect in person.

I have a working Pixter console to play it on.

Unfortunately, there is no video output, so any pictures or video that I make will involve pointing my phone camera at the screen. Now, I am aware that the MAME project is working on an emulator for the Pixter console, and they have confirmed that they have dumped data from the Cyberchase cartridge. However, their emulation is still in too early of a state to be able to play the game. Maybe someday, then the emulation is ready, I can give you direct video and screenshot capture from the emulation.

Anyway, while I won't be taking video for everything, I decided to get the animations used for the title screen and intro. I don't believe these have previously been made available online. Given that the Pixter is out-of-style, these animations may not have been seen in years. Now, even at the highest volume setting, the phone's microphone doesn't pick up the audio very well. Therefore, I had to record the audio separately, mute the audio from the phone's microphone, and then combine them together. Please watch to the end, as there is an animation that happens if you stay on the menu for too long.

Alright, I'm going to use screenshots to explain the rest of the game. There are other animations, and I may make a follow-up post to show them.

So, we get our title screen, with recreations of our kids that could be rendered on the Pixter's screen.

We get a shot of Motherboard during the intro.

Then we get our menu of five games: Poddle Sort, Bridge Break, Cyber Jam, Scramble and Drawing.

The login page is for up to four stored profiles. All of these profiles were on the cartridge when I found it. I haven't overwritten one to make a profile for myself yet. Not sure when these were last touched.

The first game, Poddle Sort, involves sorting Poddles into different trucks based on their shapes. We're trying to get them back to Poddleville, which is confusing. I thought Poddleville was the name of the entire site.

We get this cool computer graphic to tell us which level we are on. The first three games have three levels apiece, which increase the difficulty.

When you complete a level, you get a "level jump," which features the Cybersquad jumping.

The second game, Bridge Break, features an animation of Buzz and Delete breaking a bridge.

In order to repair the bridge, you need to work out the pattern to figure out which planks go where.

The third minigame, Cyber Jam, features an animation of Matt getting stuck in traffic. Hacker ruined the traffic lights.

This is a classic puzzle called Klotski. You need to move the other vehicles out of the way to get Matt through the exit.

The fourth minigame, Scarmble, features an animation with Jackie. She loves creating Cyber creatures, apparently. That's a bit terrifying.

You can make a little guy. He even has a little animation when you're done.

The final game, Drawing, is a simple drawing program. You get several backgrounds to choose from. They are all based on backgrounds from the show, remade to be rendered on the Pixter.

We get the Dracula's Castle from Castleblanca.

I'm not sure what site this is from. It doesn't look like anything we see on Kalamoor during "A Day at the Spa". Maybe its a shot from Solaria during "Snow Day to be Exact", after the Sunisphere was stolen and the site started to freeze over. It could be Penguia, but I doubt it, as Penguia didn't come around until "Penguin Tears" in mid-2005. Penguia would have been pretty late to be included in this game. I wonder if this was just an original piece of winter-themed art, since there weren't many winter-themed sites at the time.

We get that forest where the tall, blue bunny, one of the Lucky charms of Cyberspace, lives.

We get another place that I don't recognize.

We get this shot from Solaria.

I'm pretty sure this show it from Sensible Flats.

I don't immediately recognize the site from this shot.

We get a shot of Motherboard's control panel and screen from Control Central.

We get a shot of the Northern Frontier.

We get a shot from Poddleville.

We get the bridge from The Hacker's Grim Wreaker ship.

And finally, we get this establishing shot of Cyberspace.

That's all that I have to say about this game for right now. I may do a follow-up where I try to capture the transitional animations.

So, I've been thinking about my Cybersites AU again recently and fleshing it out some more. It's the one where, originally, the idea was simply just the trio all being from Cyberspace. [Or just Matt, or some variation of who is and who isn't.] Matt is from Mt. Olympus, Inez from Sensible Flats, and Jackie from Happily Ever After.

In this AU, I've decided Motherboard will be a stronger Goddess-like presence. At first, she'll have a physical form and be confined to Control Central. If she leaves it, she becomes weaker. And instead of the trio being accidentally roped into Cyberspace's problems, they'd be hand-picked by destiny, lol.

Motherboard was once told that her heir would betray her and it would be up to a child of her 'once most beloved cybersite' to find the other two. [I was going to say, like, daughters of harmony and magic, but... uh... that sounds familiar, doesn't it? Oops. I promise I'll find better prophecy titles for Jackie and Inez.] Motherboard thought this was nonsense until everything went down with Hacker and she found her powers beginning to weaken and become limited.

Mt. Olympus is one of the oldest Cybersites and Motherboard once had a very close relationship with it. Over the last few centuries, however, the Gods of the cybersite no longer see her as their Mother but as purely an outsider or even rival. Matthias' mother is one of the few Gods left who see Motherboard in good light so she is considered an outsider, which is also due in part her relationship with a minotaur.

So, Motherboard speaks to Matthias and tells him that he's to find two others to help her stop Hacker. He also gets to meet Digit and Dr. Marbles, but they're not allowed on this first journey as it has to be completely up to Matt to find the other two. Or possibly for the other two to find him.

I don't have all the details ironed out, but let's talk about Inez.

Inez is, by Matt's words, a sort of "princess" of Sensible Flats. Her Aunts, Judy and Trudy, brought her in after their brother died. They're highly protective of her. They agree, tho Judy reluctantly so, that she'll be raised be a Judge, not a Sheriff. And in the meantime, she's tasked with taking care of the town's garden and keep up moral. When things get dicey in the Old Western Cybersite, she's the first to be hidden away.

Of course, Inez wants to do more for the town and cybersite she loves. She's seen as far too young and priceless to be allowed to help in any bigger way, though. This is why when Matt, after seeing her skills and intelligence in helping prevent a Hack Attack, offers her to join the Cybersquad, she jumps on it.

Next is Jackie, who is a Fairy Godmother in training in the cybersite of Happily Ever After. She and a few other magical-types of Good are trained under Cinderella's Fairy Godmother. While the others are exceeding, she struggles to keep up. She can't grant wishes or preform tricks in a traditional sense.

She can only conjure up illusions, nothing real. It's considered mostly useless, especially by her self. She would tell you she's only good at flying and making pretty sparkles. This has forced her, however, to become skilled outside of magic. She can sew, cook, draw, act, and even fight better than most fairies can... without their magic, of course.

More than anything, she wants to help, and she fears that she'll fail her story without magic. Matt however thinks Jackie is very powerful, and she happily joins him and Inez. She thinks she can do more good in helping them and Cyberspace then failing back in HEA.

The three of them share a common want to help others and to be seen as more than what they are now.

Matt's story is either revealed at the beginning or throughout this journey. He's seen as a misfit on Mt. Olympus, the son of a Goddess and Minotaur, giving him Herculean-like abilities. He has a dangerous amount of knowledge on all the Gods' business, and his hubris is seen as that of believing he's anything more than dirt. And due to his father, his "Achilles' heel" is covered by the green chlamys.

Digit's story is largely unchanged, but his role is even more fatherly/Uncle-like due to the kids being from Cyberspace. He sees them more often, knows their parents/guardians, and they don't get to be invincible to some things in Cyberspace due to being Earthlies anymore. They also come to him, Dr. Marbles and ofc Motherboard more often and on their own, whether to visit or if they're seeking advice or help.

The trio also know Hacker on a slightly more personal level. While they may have only had a few encounters with him before while he attacks their Cybersties, they also know his story in real time. They were told stories of him being good since they were babies, and witness his betrayal, banishment, and revenge in real-time.

It is during this first adventure that Hacker gives Motherboard the virus. She may possibly lose her physical form, saved by Marbles and placed in a giant computer unless I come up with something else.

The Cybersquad's adventures continue from this point forward similarly to the show, except they have an extensive knowledge on Cyberspace, there's no mentions of Earth, and there's ofc possibilities for more stories surrounding their new backgrounds. If you read all the way to the end wow ty!

Got a request to draw the Cybersquad as merfolk so I did just that. Also added mermaid Gatito for a cheap catfish joke.

I don't normally do requests outside of close friends, but since the fandom is so small I felt like I wanted to.

I used my adult designs of the three since I'm better at drawing those than the OG ones.
