His balance pole is also darker in color.

**Lumpy is given his proper voice clips in ''Tightrope-A-Dope'' instead of an entirely different, high-pitched voice used in ''Lumpy Artist''.
**During the game over scene, in ''Tightrope-A-Dope'', lightning strikes Lumpy immediately after he got impaled instead of having the electricity flow through the balance pole first. His blackened body has blood pooling underneath him from the impalement and has no visible fire burning on it (and his hat). He also retains his antlers and cape instead of having them burned off. Voice-wise, he screams even as he hits the ground, lets out a grunt when getting impaled, then screams once more while zapped, unlike in ''Lumpy Artist'' where after falling he merely screams just as he is about to get impaled.

Tightrope-A-Dope (stylized as TIGHTROPE-A-DOPE) is a Happy Tree Friends Flash game published on the Mondo website. This game revolves around Lumpy walking on a tightrope while dealing with bad weather.

Description[edit]

The Amazing Lumpy is performing his death-defying, high wire act to thrill and delight his audience. Unfortunately, Lumpy’s act didn’t include bad weather.[3]

Gameplay[edit]

Tightrope-A-Dope gameplay, moments before bad weather starts.

Tightrope-A-Dope is played with a mouse. After clicking on Lumpy to begin the game proper, moving the cursor on either side of Lumpy will make him tilt towards that direction as he walks on the tightrope. As the description mentions, bad weather is the main obstacle in this game. Once it starts, four buckets magically appear on Lumpy's balance pole. The rainwater filling the bucket(s) will influence Lumpy's balancing, requiring careful mouse movement to adapt. The filled bucket(s) can also spill out on their own. If Lumpy tilts to either side too much, he will fall off the tightrope and, upon landing on the ground, get impaled by his own balance pole before he is fried by lightning strike.
