As the game opens Strong Bad's FunMachine (an Atari 2600-like video game system) suddenly breaks. Strong Bad does not have the money to get it fixed however. In an attempt to get money he organizes a Battle Royale of the Bands complete with local bands and celebrity guest stars—the 80's hair band Limozeen. When this still does not cover the fee Strong Bad is forced to compete with his own rock band and claim the cash prize.
