Happy Wheels is a game made by Jim Bonacci. It has six characters (as of NOT ANYMORE), now 11 characters! They all have at least one ability (jumping counts), [del]the father has no abilities.[/del] THE FATHER'S ABILITY IS TO USE HIS SON AS A MEAT SHEILD.
This game is perhaps best known for its highly detailed graphical violence.
[url]http://www.totaljerkface.com/happy_wheels.tjf[/url] (here's the link for the game)
And here's all the characters listed:
[B]WHEELCHAIR GUY [/B]
An old man with a wheel chair, but wait, theres more, he has ROCKETS! Simply press space to activate them (you can also press ctrl and shift to turn the rockets)
[B]SEGWAY GUY[/B]
A normal business man in his nice expensive segway, hes pretty boring since his only "ability" is to jump.
[B]IRRESPONSIBLE DAD [/B]
The star of the show, everyones favorite character. This father doesn't just ride with himself, oh no, he has his son to ride along too!
[B]EFFECTIVE SHOPPER [/B]
This lady is so big, she needs one of those scooters! She comes fully packed with groceries in the basket.
[B]MOPPED COUPLE [/B]
Happily, and newly wed, this nice couple ride together in a moped, complete with boosting abilities with the space bar!
[B]LAWNMOWER MAN[/B]
The [del]newest[/del] lawnmower man, has a really cool ability, and that ability is to suck in map made characters (rednecks), and shred them to pieces! (red necks)
[B]EXPLORER GUY[/B]
This guy was added on July 2011 along with the rail building block. Not much can be said here, he looks like Indiana Jones and dies brutally every time.
[b]SANTA CLAUS[/b]
This man needs no introduction. He can fly with his magical sled, brings gifts, and is the first triple playable character with his two elf companions! (Also has an evil laugh.)
[B]POGOSTICK MAN[/B]
He rides a pogostick, and is protected by knee and elbow pads and a helmet.
[B]IRRESPONSIBLE MOM[/b]
Unlike the Dad, Irresponsible Mom has two children.
[b]HELICOPTER MAN[/b]
Currently the newest addition to the game. This man can fly with his mini-helicopter, and grab other characters and objects with his Magnet-tool!
(ALL credit goes mostly to [I]radiomonster[/I], the creator of the previous Happy Wheels thread which I shamelessly copied&edited.)
[B]Now, use this thread to post funny levels and/or replays and/or general discussion of the game![/B] I can add lvls&replays here if you want:

Happy Wheels is mostly shit now. If you look at the most played this week tab, I can darn sure guarantee that at least 95% of the maps are jet/harpoon/arrow/bottle/jet runs, gimmicky stuff like "slow mo" matrix soccer, spike falls, sword throws, kill or be killed and that fucking map where you play as the Pogoman and have to get over a wall, where there are several harpoons and mines.
Yup.. it's fucked up alright. There are good levels out there though, so if you guys have any definite-favorite levels, post away.
Also, they got a new server-provider a while back, so loading huge level-lists is not a problem anymore at least.
I don't get why there hasn't been any moderation on the levels for like years now. If they get rid of most of the BS on there it would actually be kinda fun but now it's impossible to find maps with real effort in them.

The maker of the game said he was really pissed off by the constant flow of shit levels but he really can't do much about it since moderating it would take a lot of people with access to rather sensitive options. Giving strangers the ability to delete levels entirely is a shit idea except if you want assholes deleting stuff they don't like, even good levels.
Basically it's doomed to be dominated by retards making shit levels.
Then there are levels that I can't even begin to imagine how they're done. They're insanely well done.
There was this one where I actually drove a car (which is easily far more dangerous then a gun, true story) and robbed a bank. I didn't get a lot of the money though...

a funny replay
I had forgotten about this after Jim stopped posting website updates for about a year, but it looks like it's being updated again.
and yeah the user made levels are mostly terrible (if you don't sort by rating) but the game isn't bad at all
Also I went through the old thread via labpunch. All the replay links are in the old form, and therefor broken.
But they're still there under the same ID's. Here's a (rather boring) replay by postal from years ago :v:

Yep, and the abundance of those terrible levels..
Newly created, even relatively good levels (like mine) will sink fast, and it depends a lot on when it is published if it's gonna stay on top of the list, and even then very unlikely.. Asdfgh.

I do sort by rating and it's still same shit as always, with a few gems in between.

Honestly those are actually decent compared to the far more prevalent shit like "don't move" and "heart donation" and "kill justin bieber"
All of the most popular levels just don't involve playing the game. They're all about a single gimmick, usually one that's been done before, designed to make 12-year-olds laugh once to get a 5/5.
It'd be nice to be able to organize a community of people to swap levels that involve actual gameplay. You know, where you drive on a course, avoid some obstacles, and have to put forth some effort to reach the goal. I made a few myself a few years ago. I didn't really put any effort into the cosmetics, just threw some random shit together, but I still had more fun than I had with the sea of "HAX0RNOVA PLS PLAY MY LEVL" levels.
Give the link to your level if you still have it / remember it, I can put it to OP.
It would be pretty nice if we listed some levels (made by FP even) in this thread, for fast&easy access to (hopefully) good levels

I'm pretty sure the reason Happy Wheels has gone to shit is because of the massive amounts of those annoying "popular" youtubers like PewDiePie and Tobuscus were playing the shit out of it and the 12-year olds found out about it.

What did you just say about Tobuscus?
[QUOTE=Galen;45088952]What did you just say about Tobuscus?[/QUOTE]
he's not funny anymore and his video game related stuff is terrible as hell

I don't think Poods is making happy wheels videos anymore either.

That is a pretty good level actually. I like that it has an objective and obstacles.
Kind of a shame that I'm now praising things that used to be basic features, since they're so rarely seen anymore.
While I was on there, I dug up my most popular old level.
[url]http://www.totaljerkface.com/happy_wheels.tjf?level_id=1802023[/url]
Unfortunately, nearly all of the replays have gotten corrupted over time. It sucks because I remember people in this thread trying for a long time to beat the stage as Lawnmower Man, and it was a huge milestone when Postal actually did it. Well, now that replay is lost to the ages.
You can tell this level is pretty old by the character list at the beginning of the stage.
In retrospect, it's not a great level, but quite a few people on FP played it because we had gotten so starved for levels that were actually playable.
Here's my other level. It's even more unreasonable than the first. Only a handful of people ever completed it, and now every single replay is corrupted. It's a shame, I really wanted to see a replay of somebody finishing this mess.

Every time I see this thread bumped I end up playing this shit again lol. Fucking hell there's a lot of characters now. [QUOTE=Bat-shit;44922040]

uh yeah fun fact all the old replays are de-synched. Back in the day each major patch broke all the previous replays without any warning in the slightest. It's what made me stop playing back then. The guy making this really should've given us some sort of heads up but NOPE.
[QUOTE=Cone;45088925]at least nova did his part and stopped making videos on it or at least he did last i heard[/QUOTE]
He did, however some of his fans never shut up about it.
In 2013 he got fed up, and uploaded an april fools [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XtEpyRcPfEA]video[/url] as a big fuck you to them.

Managed this after an incredibly laggy run.
[IMG]http://i61.tinypic.com/34eq7b7.png[/IMG]
Couldn't save the replay of the 29 as I wasn't logged in, but managed another 32s.
I used to love the game, but then the level browser got saturated with nothing but fucking stupid-ass "PEWDIEPIE PLAY THIS XDD" or "FUNNY LOLOLOL XD FOR TOBUSCUS" maps with 0 effort in them. So hard to find decent levels.

Yup, that was the idea. Simple & brutal helicopter challenge that tries to have a bit of replay value in it. :v:
Also I listed your levels in OP since why not. Couldn't try 'em myself right now because entire totaljerkface.com seems to be down.
