The '''Classic skin''' was the first [[Skins|skin]] used on [[Nitrome.com]]. It is mostly pink and has many Nitrome characters that appeared in many early Nitrome games, characters up to [[Scribble]], and also including balloons from [[Hot Air 2]]. This skin first began being used on [[Nitrome.com 1.2]], at the time being the only selectable skin.

==Description==
{{Incomplete}}[[File:Nitrome_button_classic.gif|frame|Nitrome's logo when selecting the Classic skin]]The skin has many small hills with wind whirling around some of them. The hills rest on a large body of water. On one hill there are two venus fly traps embedded in the ground trying to eat three flies, while there are three smaller hills near it. The right fly trap succeeds in eating a fly, while the left is still trying. A hill close to the one with venus fly traps on it has three [[Blots|blots]] dancing to music from a radio, not known to them that two dragonflies see a [[Bees(Feed Me!)|bee]] about to pierce its stinger into one of the three blots.

Near these two hills, there is a gust of wind, and [[Hot Air (character)|Hot Air]] is near the tip of it with a smile, unknown to him that a [[Dragon Worms|dragon worm]] underwater follows him. Near the hill with dancing blots is another hill with a gust of wind going half way around it, and a [[Chicks|chick]] sitting on top of a huge treasure chest on top of the hill. To the right of the hill with the chick on top of the chest, there is a hill a bit smaller (and closer to the water) with two smaller hills in the water.

On top of the mountain is a [[Portal|portal]] with three [[Sleepwalker|sleepwalker]] walking out of it, unknown to them that they are being watched by a [[Nightmares|nightmare]]. The third Sleepwalker has walked off the hill, and is going to fall to his death in the water, with the other two on solid ground following him. There is another bunch of four hills, with the first one having a [[Paint Blower|paint blower]] with a drop of paint coming out of his mouth, and paint below him.

To the right of the hill with the blower, is a hill that has three smaller hills, and a hermit crab on one of them. On the hill is a [[Caterpillar Doodle|caterpillar doodle]] which doesn't know about the two planes flying above it (with two legged characters as the pilot) that are dropping [[drills]] on it.

Near the hill with the doodle on it is another hill which has a chick beside a sign that is pointing to another hill with a house on it. This hill has two much smaller hills located at the bottom of the mountain. On top of the hill is a house, and to the left of the house is a two legged character.   
[[File:Classic button.png|frame|right|The button to select the Classic skin.]]

==Hints==
*[[Hot Air 2]] - The presence of the house with a happy face and eyes is an indicator of [[Hot Air 2]], where the same house appears in the opening and is subsequently the house of [[Hot Air's Girlfriend|Hot Air's wife]]. Also, the Balloons sold by the brain have designs used for Balloons in Hot Air 2
*[[Aquanaut]] - The hermit crabs that appear here appear in Aquanaut, although the presence of the crabs and their appearance in a game are likely coincidental.

==Unnamed characters==
The Classic skin features Nitrome characters from Nitrome's first six games. The game hints both Hot Air 2 and Aquanaut, both which have elements from the respective game in the skin before those elements appeared in the game.

Although close to all characters in the skin appear in a game or are set to appear in a game, a few characters in the skin never appear in a game. These characters are:
*Spherical creatures
*A robot
*[[Brains|Brain]]
*[[Paint blower]]
===Spherical creatures===
The spherical creatures in the skin - one seen next to [[Nitrome Towers|a house that is meant to be Nitrome Towers]], and two in a plane - were actually part of an unreleased Nitrome game. This Nitrome game was in development prior to the release and during the creation of the Classic skin, which would have placed its development prior to November 16th 2006<ref name="refname2" />, but was then soon cancelled{{refn|group=note|name=first|Information from Nitrome: "They [the spherical creatures] are from a game that we briefly started but then gave up on deciding that there was not enough to it.....it didn't actually have a name as it was too early but you had to navigate a few different robots using the mouse to solve puzzles."<ref name="refname1" /><br>[Due to the construction of the last sentence, it is not known whether the robots were controlled with the mouse and these robots were used to solve puzzles, or the player controlled the robots by some other means and used the mouse to solve puzzles]}}.
[[File:Sphere creatures.png|thumb|right|400px|The three spherical creatures in the Classic skin]]
This game would be a puzzle game{{refn|group=note|name=first}} that required the use of the mouse, to either guide robots that would be used for puzzle solving{{refn|group=note|name=first}} or robots that would be controlled by some other method and the player solved puzzles with the mouth.{{refn|group=note|name=first}}

The game's cancellation was because "there was not enough to it"{{refn|group=note|name=first}}, this referring to lack of ideas for the game's level design, game components, or both. This game was cancelled soon after being started,{{refn|group=note|name=first}} and did not have a name due to being very early in development.{{refn|group=note|name=first}}

===Robot===
This robot appears on a hill among two [[Hazards (Tanked Up)#Mines|mines]]. Its first appearance was on the top bar of [[Nitrome.com 1.0]] and it later appeared in an image created for an interview with FreeGamesNews. It has not appeared in any games.

The robot bears a very strong resemblance to the character [[w:c:Pixar:WALL•E (character)|WALL•E]] from the Disney-Pixar [[w:c:Pixar:WALL•E|movie of the same name]]. The only difference between the two characters are their colour, and that WALL•E has three fingered hands.

The robot may also be a reference to [[wikipedia:R.O.B.|R.O.B.]], an accessory robot for the [[wikipedia:Nintendo Entertainment System|Nintendo Entertainment System]].

===Paint blowers===
{{Ma|Paint blowers}}
Paint blowers also have not appeared in any game. It is highly likely this character was not meant to appear in any game, and was made exclusively for the game artists section of [[Nitrome.com]]. Unlike the brain who appears in the same section of the site and has appeared in a game, this character is yet to make an appearance in a Nitrome game. Also, paint blowers appear on the jobs page under "Games Artist".

===Brains===
{{Ma|Brains}}
Brains appear in the image for the job page for the programmer role. Brains - unlike the paint blowers - have appeared in a Nitrome game, but only as a cameo. They appeared as a balloon in [[Hot Air 2]]. Since this appearance, they have not appeared in another Nitrome game. However, one did appear in the [[NES (skin)|NES skin]].

==Trivia==
* When this skin was the only one, a link to the [[Skins#Selection|Skin Selection]] page did not exist, as there was only one skin (which means this skin remained unnamed until the next skin was released)
* The hills in this skin resemble the background of [[Hot Air]].
