5.0.1 - The Land of Chocolate
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------
Target Time - 5:00
Character - Homer
Video Game Clichs - 2
--------------------------
A television-quality cinematic begins with Homer slipping into a dream-state.
He finds himself in the Land of Chocolate. After a conversation with the white
rabbit, you assume control of Homer. Personally, I think that the Tutorial
Level itself should have been made into the first Clich, but that's just me.
Because the first level of the game is a tutorial, I will treat this part of
the walkthrough as such.
The message at the top of the screen tells you to access the Things To Do list
by pressing Select. Press it to see the first of many "things to do," (from
now on referred to as "objectives"):
- Follow the white rabbit through the village
Ignore the well on the same path you are currently on. Follow the white rabbit.
Press X to jump across the marshmallow's in the river of chocolate.
If you look carefully, you will notice that the white marshmallow's have
shining spots on them. This means that jumping on this platform will make your
character jump onto the following platform automatically. These appear all
throughout the game, so learn how to use them well. While going around the
corner, move the right analog stick to the left and to the right to move the
game's camera accordingly. Press in the right analog stick (R3) to reset the
camera back behind your character. An issue exists in regards to the game's
camera. Do you see how, assuming you haven't adjusted the game's settings, that
the camera swings around very quickly If this bothers you, press start and go
into the options menu and go into controls. Here, you can tune the X-axis
sensitivity and the Y-axis sensitivity however you need to. I personally
dropped them both to the left twice. If you happen to fall into the river, you
die, but thankfully you don't have to restart the level, you just restart
wherever you fell in. This applies to anywhere else in the game where it is
possible to die - you don't restart the level, just that particular area. This
even applies to dying at the hands of enemies. If your health is depleted from
the hits of enemies, it will eventually refill itself and you will be revived.
After the marshmallows, jump onto the cobblestone. Press X to jump, and press X
again in mid-jump to perform a double-jump, collecting your first of 31 "video
game clichs. On the cake, follow the white rabbit to the left across the
bridge. Press Square to use Homer's basic attack and defeat the chocolate
rabbit. Notice that upon death, the enemy drops blue glowing orbs. Collect them
to fill up the power meter in the lower left corner. Punch through the
chocolate trolleys and continue down the path, eliminating any bunnies that
cross your path. A message tells you to look out for collectibles located
throughout the stages. Hop onto the nearby marshmallow with the shining spot to
jump on top of a nearby house of candy and collect Homer's first of five
collectible items in this stage, a Duff bottlecap.
Hop off of the house and continue on to the next area. As you kill the
chocolate bunnies, they respawn. To prevent this, you must destroy the large
Marge fountains. Do so, and kill the rest of the bunnies if you want. Hop onto
the nearby white marshmallow to jump onto another house and to collect the
second Duff bottlecap. From there, go after the rabbit again. In the next area
you will receive another objective:
- Climb the cake and eat the White Rabbit
You have to destroy three more Marge fountains to stop the onslaught of
bunnies. Do so, then kill all of the bunnies in the area to give you a clean
area to work in. Press the action button, Triangle, by the lever in the middle
of the area to collect another video game clich. Before ascending the cake,
there are some more bottlecaps to collect. Follow the path around to the left
side of the cake, and double-jump up all of the frost-covered ledges to find
the third bottlecap at the top.
Descend the ledges again and head to the right side of the area. Double-jump
onto the chocolate matchstick looking things sticking from the wall. Continue
on and at the top, run along the bridge to collect the fourth bottlecap. Go
back down to the main area, killing the newly-spawned bunny on the bridge. Head
to the front of the cake, with the two rising and falling platforms. When the
time is right, hop onto the platform on the right. Wait until the platform on
the left is lower then the one you're on, and hop onto it. Once it rises to the
top, jump onto the cake. Use the marshmallow to the right to hop to the next
level, and then use the two from here to get up yet another level. Use the
ladders to reach the top. Kill the White Rabbit just as you have all of his
"relatives," and you will eat him. In doing so, Homer undergoes his first
special transformation - Homer Ball.
After falling through the top of the cake and hitting the bottom of the inside,
you receive the next objective:
- Use Homer Ball to defeat the chocolate bunnies.
Use Square to perform a Homer Ball Burst. Destroy the giant chocolate bunny
head to reveal the fifth and final Duff bottlecap. Continue moving around the
inside of the cake, and the level will end itself.
Inside the Simpsons house, to go to the next level, stand in the light at the
front door and press Triangle.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5.0.2 - Bartman Begins
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------
Target Time - 10:00.00
Characters - Bart/Homer
Video Game Clichs - 2
-------------------------------
The first real level of the game uses Bart and Homer together. Remember, use
the directional buttons to switch between characters. The message tells you to
press Circle to use Bart's slingshot. From the beginning, jump across the gap,
and use Bart's slingshot to destroy the barrel in the rock wall. Jump into it
and continue on into the big room.
You begin this level with a simple objective.
- Use Bart to find a way across the chasm
Switch to Homer, and head to the left side of the room to find the first Duff
bottlecap. Then, go to the center of the room, and stand on the pressure pad on
the right side (The one with the light emanating from it. Take this as another
hint for the rest of the game. When objects have the blue line of light
coming from them, they are usually important). Three pillars emerge from one of
the columns on the right side of the room. Switch back to Bart, and head over
to the aforementioned columns. Ascend the platforms jutting out of them to the
very top, and jump onto the rock with the blue light. The message tells you
about Bart's cape glide. To use it, jump into the air and press and hold R1.
Look down into the chasm at the lone pressure pad standing atop the pillar.
Jump up and use Bart's cape glide to land on the pressure pad, building a
bridge across the chasm out of the snake's tongue.
Walk across the bridge to the other side of the chasm. After the cinematic,
your receive a new objective:
- Find the secret entrance to the museum
On the other side of the bridge, step on the pressure pad on the left to open a
secret door on the left. Go inside this room with Homer to get to second
bottlecap. As you exit the room, you are credited with finding the first video
game clich from this level. If your other character steps off of the pressure
pad and you are trapped in the room, the lever on the inside will open the door
again for you. At any rate, leave the room and take control of Bart. Staying on
the left side of the room, go to the vines on the wall with the shining light.
By simply jumping onto certain surfaces, Bart can climb walls. Follow the ivy
up and to the left. At the top, grab the first of Bart's five collectibles in
this level, the Krusty Koupon. Go back down the wall and run to the other side
of the room. Climb up the vines here and hop off of them onto the platform at
the top. An icon appears featuring a camera surrounded by a red circle with a
line through it. This indicates that you cannot move the camera here. Continue
across the next platform to the left, grabbing the second Krusty Koupon, and
hop onto the
platform with two pressure pads to get another video game clich. Notice that
when you have to make jumps like this, the jumps may seem difficult because the
placement of the camera does not allow you to see where your character is in
relation to the platform below them, but this is no problem. You can use your
characters' shadows as guides.
Pull the lever on the far left of the platform to drop a ladder down for Homer.
Stand on one of the pressure pads, and Homer will automatically run up the
ladder and step on the other pad. The secret entrance to the museum opens.
Here, I must stress a very important point. In any levels where you have
Bart as one of your characters, the enemies should never be a problem. I have
made an interesting observation. All of the regular attacks (using the Square
button) of the Simpsons cause the enemies to fall on the ground. While enemies
are on the ground, they cannot be targeted and they cannot be attacked.
Interestingly enough, Bart's slingshot attack does not always knock enemies
down. Because of this, you can more often than not shoot enemies and get
through them much faster.
Take control of Homer, and as you are descending the steps, head through the
passage on the right (in the direction from which you just came) and grab the
third bottlecap. Go back into the main room, and retaining control of Homer,
climb the ladder by the skeleton of the T-Rex. Have Homer jump onto the head of
the skeleton, and let Bart climb to the top of the ladder. While Homer's weight
on the head of the skeleton makes an adequate bridge, run with Bart down the
back of the skeleton and glide to the platform off the tip of its tail. Go
through the corners and into the next room to get your next objective.
- Drop the dinosaur bones on Dolph
Look down into the room at the volcano. Glide with Bart to the lever by the
volcano and pull it. Pulling the lever does three things. It opens doors so
that Homer can come into the room, it opens several doors throughout the room
through which the guards can enter, and it starts an updraft in the volcano.
The message tells you that you can use Bart's cape to ride updrafts. Put that
thought on hold for a moment, and run with Bart to the far side of the room.
Grab the third Krusty Koupon behind the giant tree.
Run back to the volcano and ride the updraft, bouncing off of the two
dinosaurs, and landing on the wire. Use the left analog stick to move Bart to
the other end of the wire, and drop off onto the tree. Double jump twice to get
up to the top tree, and grab Bart's special slingshot ammo. Face Dolph behind
the glass, and use L1 to aim at the green button above the dinosaur skeleton.
Shoot it to drop the bones onto him and to complete your current objective.
Glide down and through the newly opened double doors to get to the next area,
as well as a new objective:
- Frighten Kearney through the diorama
Now you have to worry about the normal security guards, as well as Sideshow Mel
security guards. The Sideshow Mel guards are a bit harder to defeat than the
regular ones, but they still shouldn't give you too much trouble. Take control
of Homer, and go up the stairs. Have him step into the "Zap The Past" booth to
turn all of the targets on the glass green. Assume control of Bart, and shoot
the green targets in order from left to right to scare Kearney through the
first part of the Diorama, and to open up the big door to the next section.
Continue down the hall, grabbing Bart's ammo on the right wall and dispatching
the guards. Use Homer again to activate the targets. Using Bart, shoot the
target in the middle to drop the drawbridge. Then, shoot the target on the left
and the target on the right to scare Kearney into the third and final portion
of the diorama. Activate the targets, and shoot the first one on the left. Kill
the three guards that spawn, then shoot the remaining three targets from left
to right to get your new objective:
- Defeat Kearney
While Kearney is running out of the diorama, grab the ammo to the right. Shoot
with Bart to slowly drain down Kearney's life until he's gone. In the next
room, have Bart grab all of his ammunition and have Homer grab his fourth
bottlecap. Head through the spacey tunnel to get to the final room and to your
next objective.
- Scare Jimbo off the UFO
First of all, grab Bart's ammo and kill every guard in the room to make your
life a lot easier. After that's done, head over to the vents that are shooting
out air. Position Homer in front of the middle one, and have Bart climb the
rock wall to the left, grabbing the fourth Krusty Koupon. Don't worry about
switching back to Homer, it's not necessary yet. Double jump into the first
vent, and ride the updraft to the right, landing on the middle of the three
rising and floating platforms. Hop down onto the ring around the earth and grab
Bart's fifth and final Krusty Koupon on the left.
Jump down and again scale the climbable wall with Bart. Now, switch to Homer
and pull the lever to temporarily activate the air in the middle vent. Go back
to Bart, and take the air from the three vents and jump onto the upside-down
space shuttle. From the opposite side of the spacecraft, jump onto the pole
that lies between you and the floating planets. Landing on it destroys the
base, so that Homer can climb it. Have him climb it, and make an extremely
tricky and potentially frustrating jump with him from the pole to the
spacecraft and grab the fifth and final bottlecap (Be patient if you don't make
the jump the first time, it is not an easy jump to make).
When you have the bottlecap, take control of Bart again. Go back to the vents,
and for the third time, take the air from the first vent and glide to the
middle floating platform. Wait until the time is right, and hop onto the left
platform. At its peak, jump onto the UFO to complete your objective and to
receive your final one.
- Defeat Jimbo
This should be just another straightforward fight, take control of Bart and
wail away at the enemy. Be careful, however, as his laser shots are powerful.
Once he's down, the level ends.

5.0.3 - Around The World in 80 Bites
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------
Target Time - 10:00.00
Characters - Bart/Homer
Video Game Clichs - 1
-------------------------------
This level is timed, so you have to be quick on your feet. If you know what you
are supposed to do and where you are supposed go, you can easily grab all of
the collectibles in this level and finish it with plenty of extra time. The
entire concept behind the Homer Ball is that to activate and maintain it, you
must have calories. When you have no calories, you have no Homer Ball. To get
calories, simply pick up food items you find around the stage. You are
competing with others from Springfield to get through all of the countries
featured in the level (on a side note, thus far, this is my favorite level).
From the beginning, you unlock a video game clich and are offered your first
objective:
- Use Homer Ball to get into Australia
Run straight forward and grab some fried chicken off of the stand. Press R1 to
activate the Homer Ball and head up the ramp to the right, grabbing the first
Duff bottlecap. As you approach the gap, press Square to launch Homer across
the gap and into Australia. Run to the back right corner of the area to the
piece of red rock being balanced on another rock. Have Homer jump onto the rock
and stand on the right side to bring it lower to the ground, raising the left
side. Jump onto the rock with Bart and jump onto the brick platform, grabbing
the first Krusty Koupon. Run along to the other end and jump across the
umbrellas, gliding after the last one and landing near the second Krusty
Koupon. Press the Triangle button near the box of Chinese food to drop several
food items below for Homer to pick up and build up his calories.
Take control of Homer, and take the ramp down on the far side of Australia to
go into Mexico, receiving your next objective:
- Find and smash the super taco
Take Bart to the back left corner of the room, and ride the air current from
the fan onto the awning. Run around and take the zipline across the area. Drop
down, and jump the gap to grab the third Krusty Koupon. Jump down, avoiding the
barbed wire. Switch to Homer, and find the Piata. Turn into Homer Ball, and
destroy it to free some space on the platform. From there, hop across the three
umbrellas onto the raised platform, and grab the golden shield. This shield
grants invincibility when you grab it. Jump down and head through the barbed
wire behind the concrete wall and grab the second bottlecap. Come back through
the barbed wire, and find the giant taco with the light shining on it. Go back
into Homer Ball form, and press Square to smash through the taco to enter
Germany and to get your next objective(s):
- Get Bart to the top of the Eiffel Tower
- Reach the lever to open the gate to Scotland
As Homer, find the building on the left side of Germany with the heart at the
top. To its right is a climbable pole bearing the colors of Germany's flag.
Climb the pole, and hop up the platforms and on top of the building to find
Homer's third bottlecap. To the right, break open the Duff barrel in the middle
to get some upgraded ammunition for Bart's slingshot. Head up the ramp to the
right, and grab Homer's fourth bottlecap, sitting in plain sight to the right
at the top of the ramp. Take Bart, and run under the golden Eiffel Tower to the
opposite side. Climb the ladder, and hop across the two umbrellas, riding the
air up to the zipline at the very top. Ride it across and land on the Eiffel
Tower. Pull the lever to the left to ride the elevator up to the top of the
monument. From the very apex of the tower, Bart glide down and land on the
Scottish flag (blue with a white "X" through it). If you happen to go past the
flag, turn around and climb the ivy to get back up to it. Activate the nearby
lever to open the door into Scotland and to get the next objective:
- Find a way to open the gate to Scotland
Take Bart and Homer into the small castle like building on the left side of
Scotland. Grab Homer's fifth and final Duff bottlecap, and take the ammunition
for Bart from the crate. Keep Bart for the moment, and head to the back left
part of Scotland. Climb the blue and white pole and jump across to the ivy. Get
close to the first flame, and Homer is able to automatically extinguish it for
a moment. Quickly traverse the ivy to the left and wait at the second flame.
When Homer momentarily extinguishes it, continue to the left and jump off onto
the platform. Head to the back and grab Bart's fourth Krusty Koupon on the
right that juts back into Germany. When you have it, hop back down into
Scotland.
Switch to Homer, and go to the ramp outside of the building. Homer Ball and
launch into the blue light at the Stonehenge like pillars to knock them down
like dominoes. Walk across them around the curve and jump onto the set of
bagpipes. Go back into Homer Ball form and jump into the air, pressing Square
to slam down on them, releasing air from the pipes. Take Bart and use the air
from the pipes to glide to the next lever. Pull it to open the door to Italy,
and to get your next objective:
- Smash the super meatball
Switch back to Homer and head to the right side of Italy. Line yourself up with
the spatula and the blue light. Go into Homer Ball, and launch yourself up the
handle of the spatula and onto the end of the fork to lower a noodle ladder.
Switch to Bart and ascend the ladder, jumping off onto the platform. Head to
the right and go up the scaffolding to arrive on the next level. Follow the
curve to the right, but climb the ladder on the other side of the far pillar.
Make your way platform-style across the tops of the columns to grab Bart's
fifth Krusty Koupon. Take note of your next objective:
- Get Homer into America
Drop down and follow the curve again to meet Homer. Drop down onto the bridge,
and climb the nearby patch of ivy all the way to the top. Turn to the right and
look down into the area on the right. Near the giant cylinders that say "Duff,"
double-jump and glide down onto the raised platform, grabbing the sixth and
final Krusty Koupon. Make your way back through Italy all the way back to the
bridge, and climb the section of ivy to the top again. This time, stay straight
and Bart Glide into the next area (don't try to land on the platform with the
lever, you could fall and have to make your way there again). Climb the ladder
onto the platform and pull the lever to open the bridge into America. Take
Homer into America to end the timer and to get your final objective:
- Destroy the Statue of Liberty and smash the super burger
Go into Homer Ball and jump onto the raised quarter. Jump and Homer Smash down
onto the quarter to lower the protective barrier around the statue. Drop down
and launch yourself into the statue to lower it. Repeat this twice (You have to
launch yourself into the cracks in the side of the statue, or the game will not
count it as a hit). The super burger falls to the ground. Get on top of it,
still in Homer Ball form, and Homer Smash it to destroy it and end the level.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5.0.4 - Lisa the Tree Hugger
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------
Target Time - 10:00.00
Characters - Bart/Lisa
Video Game Clichs - 2
------------------------------
The level begins with an objective:
-Enter the Auntie Nature logging operation
Get rid of the three lumberjacks that face oppose you from the beginning. Go
through the sliding doors. As a rule of thumb, all throughout this level it
will be much easier to take out all the enemies and to get rid of their respawn
points in each area. Take out the blue porta-potty (the respawn device for this
level) near the back of the area, and take control of Lisa. Hop onto the stump
with the shining Buddha statue. Lisa has a very unique special ability. She can
call upon the Hand of Buddha to pick up and move large objects. Press Triangle
at the statue to activate the Hand of Buddha. You use the R1 button to control
the hand, holding R1 to pick up objects, and releasing it to drop them. Items
that you can pick up are outlined in green when you put the hand over them.
Beside the logging truck at the bottom of the screen, pick up the two pieces of
tree on the right side and place them onto the pieces on the left that they
match. To the right of the Buddha statue, pick up and drop the rock that is
sitting on the bulldozer. Press Triangle to exit the Hand of Buddha mode, and
take control of Bart. Jump onto the bulldozer and grab his first Krusty Koupon
for this level. Pick up Lisa's first Malibu Stacy coupon that you uncovered by
moving the tree pieces. Climb the stairs made by the trees, but before you
touch the lever, dispatch of all the enemies in the next area, and destroy the
porta-potty to make your job easier. After that's done, activate the lever to
open the door to the next area and to get the next objective:
- Dismantle the logging machinery
Grab Lisa and activate the second Buddha statue. Near the top of the screen,
pull off the rattling piece on the orange machine and drop it on the ground.
Use Bart to ride the air onto the end of the conveyor belt above. Press
Triangle near the trampoline to knock it down so that Lisa can jump up to join
you. Run a little bit up the conveyor belt, and have both Lisa and Bart stand
on the red buttons to destroy the machinery ahead. Take control of Bart and hop
down. From a distance, take out the two nearby lumberjacks that are standing in
the trees. With Lisa, jump off of the elevated platform near where the
lumberjacks stood and grab Lisa's second Malibu Stacy coupon. Take the ladder
on the left to get back up.
Continue down the belt to discover the video game clich for this level. Take
Bart, and time a jump to get past the saw blades and to the ladder on the other
side. Climb it and grab Bart's ammunition. Turn around and shoot the green
button above the giant saw blade to complete your current objective and to
receive a new one:
- Ride the conveyor
Climb up the giant saw blade that you just destroyed and grab Bart's second
Krusty Koupon off of it. Get back onto the conveyor belt, and continue down the
path. Be careful once you get to the moving section of the belt. Traverse
through the three vertical blades, and activate the nearby lever to turn them
off. Through this next area, time and place your jump to avoid all of the saw
blades (you may die here, it can be tricky). Pull the nearby lever to freeze
the nearby blades and to knock off part of the guard rail. You receive a new
objective:
- Find a way to the river
Hop down, and climb the nearby saw blades in the trees and go to the Buddha
statue. Grab the saw blade on the ground and drop it into the crack in the
tree. Go down and grab the piece of the conveyor belt just after the green
water. Drop it over the river of green for a make-shift bridge (you have to
drop it more on the north side of the river for it to properly fall in place).
With Bart, jump onto the saw blade that you placed in the crack in the tree and
grab his third Krusty Koupon.
Run across the bridge that you just made to trigger a cutscene. Afterwards,
continue forward to the next area. Again, clear the area of enemies and destroy
their respawn point. Jump onto the first trampoline to find Lisa's third
collectible. Activate the nearby Buddha statue. Grab the three large containers
and drop them on the conveyor belt, destroying them all. Grab Bart's fourth
Krusty Koupon that you uncovered with the uppermost container. Jump on the
trampoline beside the conveyor belt to get to the other side (you are only
credited with this objective once you get both Bart and Lisa to the other
side).
With Bart, go across the river with the zipline, and destroy the enemies and
the porta-potty on the other side. Activate the lever nearby the zipline to
turn the river into a game of "Frogger." Switch back to Lisa and get across the
river by jumping across the logs, alligators, and tortoises. Be sure to notice
that the tortoises go under water, so time your jumps accordingly with their
diving patterns. On a platform on the right side of the river (from Lisa's
point of view) is the fourth and final Malibu Stacy coupon for this level. Once
she's across, go ahead and grab Bart and go back to the middle island to grab
his fifth Krusty Koupon (Take control of Bart and stand on the edge of one of
the piers so that the camera will flip up top for you, Frogger-style. Don't be
impatient and get in a hurry - doing so will only cause you to die as the
camera swings around in mid-jump).
Once he's back on the other side, take note of your new objective(s):
- Open the floodgates
- Reconfigure the factory pipes
Take Lisa to the left side of the area and activate the nearby Buddha statue.
You have to take off the removable factory pipes to the right, and drop them in
certain places to change the direction of the air flow. In all, there are four
removable pieces: one on the left, shooting air upwards; on the right,
connecting two pieces of pipe; and another "L" shaped one on top of another
that is shooting air to the left and to the right. Grab the one on the far
left, and drop it onto the hole in the wall that is level to the platform on
which the Krusty Koupon sits. Grab the one on the far right and drop it just
below the one you just dropped. Of the two left, grab the top one and drop it
in the same place you just dropped the second one. Grab the final piece and
drop it onto the air on the far right (where you removed the second piece).
Take Bart and traverse the air currents - first to the far light to grab his
final Koupon. Prepare yourself for the next part. It is not difficult, it is
just timed, but it still should not be very difficult. Ride the far right air
current to reach the elevated platform, to view another small cutscene, and to
get your final objective:
- Save Lenny and Carl
Hop down and activate the nearby lever to open a space in the guard rail.
Switch to Lisa and climb the pipe just below the piece of rail that just swung
open. Activate the nearby Buddha statue. Go along the conveyor belt and reach
down upon Lenny and Carl to remove the green thing that is weighing them onto
the conveyor belt. After the small cutscene, time a shot with Bart's slingshot
through the machinery to hit the target and to end the level.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5.0.5 - Mob Rules
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------
Target Time - 15:00.00
Characters - Lisa/Marge
Video Game Clichs - 2
-------------------------------
Marge has a unique special ability as well. Using her megaphone, she has the
ability to bring the will of the people of Springfield under her control. When
next to a citizen of the city, press Circle to use the megaphone to bring them
under your control. Afterwards, target something using L1, and while holding
the button press Circle to control the person/people in your mob. Again,
remember that Lisa can call upon the Hand of Buddha at certain statues. The
level opens, as always, with your first objective:
- Destroy 3 Grand Theft Scratchy floats
Take control of Flanders right in front of you. Right behind him, jump around
the barriers in front of the police cars to discover the first video game
clich for the level. Destroy the GTA float to the left, and bring Apu under
your control. Destroy the second float, and grab Edna Krabappel to your left.
Kill all of the enemies in the area, and destroy the final float to reveal a
trampoline and to initiate your second objective:
- Clear a path for the mob
Take control of Lisa, and jump onto the building with the trampoline. Follow
the right ledge around the side of the building to grab the first of her Malibu
Stacy coupons for this level. Take control of the nearby Buddha statue, and
one-by-one pick up the cars in the nearby pile and drop them on the ground to
destroy them. For added effect, drop them onto the nearby guards to kill them.
Once a path is made, you receive your third objective:
- Destroy 2 Grand Theft Scratchy floats
Take control of mob and take the mob through the newly opened path. Dispatch of
all of the enemies in this first area, a task made much harder by bad camera
angles. Once that's done, send the mob in to destroy the 2 floats before you
and to receive your next objective:
- Build a bridge
Take control of Lisa and climb the ladder on the left side of the area. Assume
control of the Hand of Buddha, and take the pieces left from the two floats
that you just destroyed to construct a bridge that reaches across the gap to
the far left side. You receive your next objective:
- Find and destroy 2 billboards
Before releasing the Hand, take the green ladder on top of the building Lisa on
which Lisa stands, and drop it just off the bottom side of the building.
Traverse it with Lisa and go around to get her second coupon. Take control of
Marge and lead the mob across the newly constructed bridge. Take out the guards
and command the mob to destroy the cracks in the wall to the left. In the next
area, go down to the lower level and approach the cracks in the wall to
discover the other video game clich in this level. Destroy the wall and take
Marge's first Try-n-Save coupon from the other side.
Head back up to the main level where you originally arrived, and take control
of Waylon Smithers standing nearby. Take Lisa and jump onto the trampoline. On
the upper level, take out the lone enemy and activate the Buddha statue. Pick
up and drop the cars to destroy them and make yet another path for the mob.
Lead everyone up to the upper level and destroy the first of the two billboards
to make a bridge to the next building. Take control of Lisa and climb onto the
box immediately to the left of the end of the bridge you just made. Climb to
the top of the green building to find her third coupon. Take Marge and make
Grandpa Simpsons a part of your mob.
Approach the green building from the right side with Marge, and press Triangle
beside the shining spot to send Maggie into the crawlspace. Have her go all
throughout the air duct, grabbing Marge's second Try-n-Save coupon, as well as
having her use her pacifier to turn off the electricity surrounding the second
billboard. Back outside, destroy the aforementioned billboard to get your next
objective:
- Destroy 3 Grand Theft Scratchy floats
Continue across the top of the buildings, taking care of the enemies along the
way, and instruct the mob to stand on the platform (as the in-game messages
tells you). Before doing anything else, take control of Lisa, and get beside
the green building on the other side of the platform. Ledge slide across the
beige piece to the other side of the building, and jump (not double-jump) from
pipe to pipe to reach her fourth coupon. Hop down and climb the ladder to the
left of the platform. Use Lisa's Hand of Buddha to remove the green cylinder
near the bottom of the platform, lowering the mob down a level. Hop down, and
defeat all of the enemies at the bottom (again, a task made unnecessarily
difficult because of a less-than-stellar camera system). Grab the nearby shield
of invincibility if you need to. Destroy the floats on the right, middle, and
left to get your next objective:
- Get the mob to the Town Square
Take control of Lisa and head to the left side of the level. Hop on top of the
buildings and activate the Hand of Buddha. Place the two nearby pieces of wood
from the slats protruding from the wall just to the right. Notice what was left
behind as you destroyed the floats Take the pieces, and drop them into their
respective slots in the middle of the top of the screen. Switch to Marge and
use the same trampoline to get up to the wooden slats. Hop across them to reach
her fourth coupon. Go back down to where Lisa just dropped the three pieces
into the slots. Command your mob to build a ramp out of the pieces, as the
in-game message tells you.
Climb the ramp, and head to the immediate left and take control of Moe Syzlack.
A bit to the right there is another place to build. Tell your mob to construct
the mess into some scaffolding. Jump to the top with Lisa and use the Hand to
take the two black boxes and to put them in front of the path of water coming
out of the red fire hydrants. Head near the fire hydrant on the far right to
grab Marge's third coupon. Head back to the left and past the first fire
hydrant. Have the mob destroy the crack in the wall just beyond the open door,
and enlist the help of Snake inside. Exit the hole in the wall and go through
the open door to view a cutscene and to get another objective:
- Destroy the Grand Theft Scratchy statue
Go around the entire Town Square and kill every enemy you see, adding Principal
Skinner to your group in the process (you can find him on the left side of the
Town Square standing at the steps of the Springfield Museum). Additionally,
destroy all of the large black police vans, grabbing Lisa's fifth and final
coupon from around the first black van that see upon entering the area. When
that's done, destroy the giant statue in the middle to receive your last
objective:
- Flush out Mayor Quimby
Approach the right side of the Town Hall building. Let Maggie into the
crawlspace. With her, traverse the entire interior, grabbing Marge's fifth and
final Try-n-Save coupon for the level, and turning the three valves using
Maggie's pacifier. When you've activated the final valve, the level ends.

5.0.6 - Enter the Cheatrix
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------
Target Time - 15:00.00
Characters - Bart/Lisa
Video Game Clichs - 2
------------------------------
Your first objective encompasses the entire point of this level:
- Follow the Ape
In reaching this level, your family's health and power are upgraded.
From the beginning, step forward to the paper on the ground to get Bart's
grappling hook. Look up, and notice the three hooks that go across the two gaps
with the shining points. Facing the first one, press Triangle to activate the
grappling hook and to get to the second platform. Do the same thing for the
next two hooks. I recommend that for the second time, after you press Triangle
the first time, continue to press it repeatedly as you approach the hook so
that when you begin to fall, you will immediately grapple onto the hook after
it. On the final platform, pull the lever to open up the pipe from the first
platform so that Lisa can come over. Step on the two buttons to open the pipe
that sits before you. Jump inside.
In the next room, hop onto the pipe and grab some of Bart's special ammunition
for this level (a stack of coins). Hop onto the conveyor belt for a little bit,
and grapple the nearby hook to land on an elevated platform. Pull the lever to
stop the flow of electricity from the nearby pipe. Hope back onto the conveyor
belt and continue. Immediately after the pipe turn to the left to find the
enemies and the respawn point of this level (the "Employees Only" elevators. To
deactivate them, press Triangle in front of the button on their right sides.
Always deactivate the respawn points first, or you will fight more enemies than
you have to). Hop onto the nearby trampoline and traverse the ledges. Pull the
next lever to end the flow of electricity from the pipe.
Hop back onto the conveyor belt, and deactivate the second elevator. Dispatch
of the enemies in front of it, and grab some more of Bart's ammo on the nearby
ledge. With Bart, face across the conveyor belt from in front of the second
respawn point. Hop onto the yellow circular platform. From there, use your
grappling hook to get to the upper level. Pull the lever to activate the
platform, causing it to move. Switch to Lisa and hop onto the platform. Once it
comes around, hop on the ladder and join Bart. Hop onto the pipe that runs to
the right and grab Lisa's first Malibu Stacy coupon.
Go back across the platforms shooting green smog that look like salt and pepper
shakers, and rejoin Bart. Switch over to him now, and go across the zipline in
the back to get to the far back right platform to find his first Krusty Koupon.
Come back across, and take control of Lisa again. Take control of the Hand of
Buddha. You have to take the four gears and place them on the upper-most pegs
to continue the motion of the far right gear all the way to the far left one.
Grab one of the small gears and drop it on left-most peg. Grab one of the big
gears, and drop it right beside the one that you just placed. Take the other
large gear, and drop it right beside the one that is moving on the far right.
Finally, take the last small gear and drop it to the left of the one you just
placed. The movement of the gears causes a small platform to rise and fall.
Glide with Bart back onto the conveyor belt and make your way to the new
platform. Go across it and jump into the big green pipe to get your next
objective:
- Activate the exit pipe
To the left, where the wall turns black, use either Bart or Lisa to shimmy
across the edge of the black to the other platform. Pull the nearby lever to
drop down a platform with which your other character can make it to the other
side (your other character will automatically come across). Stand on the red
buttons to open the nearby pipe. Hop inside to get to the next area and to get
another objective:
- Find the exit pipe
Run across the conveyor belt and hop onto the platform to the right. Run across
this catwalk, past the enemy, and deactivate the elevator. Turn around and take
out the enemy you skipped, and use the pipe to jump up onto the next level.
Grab Bart's second Krusty Koupon to the left, and take control of Lisa. Step
in front of the Buddha statue, and Lisa's saxophone is upgraded. Take control
of the hand, and position the large piece of catwalk to go across the vats of
"Blood" and "More Blood." Run across the bridge you just made, and run
to the
elevator to deactivate it. Kill the enemy you skipped, and go up the nearby
pipe to the next level. Use the trampoline to reach Lisa's second collectible,
and continue to the left. Go from the conveyor belt to the pipe, and climb up.
Grab some more of Bart's ammo and continue to the left. Deactivate the
elevator, take out the football players, and pull the lever to end the flow of
electricity.
Continue down the conveyor belt, and around the corner do the same thing you've
done already - deactivate the elevator, kill the enemies, pull the nearby lever
to make the rest of the path passable. Hop up and into the green pipe to
receive your next objective:
- Get to the next warp pipe
Turn around and jump on the trampoline. On the upper level, grab Bart's ammo
and his third Koupon. Look up, and shoot the Sonic look-alike to end the flow
of the green slime back down on the lower level. Run across the catwalk and
step on the red buttons to open up the green pipe. Jump inside to get another
objective:
- Cross the Marketing slime
Run down the conveyor belt. With Lisa, jump onto the far left "New!!" button
and onto the vertical pole on the left. Climb up and hop onto the platform.
Jump onto the other platform around the nearby corner and onto the trampoline
to go up another level. Grab her third coupon for the level. Run across the
catwalk to the right, and kill the red enemy to receive a video game clich.
Look down over the left side of the catwalk bordered with red lines, take Lisa
and jump back down onto the conveyor belt. Hop across the two pink steps to
reach a platform with her fourth coupon.
Switch back to Bart and approach the far end of the catwalk to get your next
objective:
- Catch Stubborn Ape
Before doing anything, look to the left and use the grappling hook to reach the
platform to the left. Grab Bart's fourth Koupon and some of his ammo, and hop
down onto the level below, and deactivate the elevator to the left to stop the
continued onslaught of enemies. Turn around and kill all of the enemies in the
area. Jump onto the platform with three trampolines to receive the other video
game clich in the level. Hop on the trampoline in the middle, and on the upper
level take the trampoline on the right to reach the top-most level. Deactivate
the nearby elevator and kill the enemies. Grab Bart's fifth Krusty Koupon, and
run across the conveyor belt to the right without getting crushed, and at the
end of the platform pull the lever to lower the platform.
Switch back to Lisa, and near the ledges with multiple trampolines, there is
another trampoline to the right. Hop on it to get to the upper level, and go to
the nearby Hand of Buddha statue. This is not the most obvious puzzle in the
game. I have seen on the message boards and in my inbox that many people have
had trouble with it. The entire point of the puzzles it to take the metal
U-Shaped Pipes to the right and to drop them on the collection of multi-colored
Mario pipes so that when Bart jumps into the red pipe, the U-Shaped pipes will
make a path that connects through a bridge of colors. Here's the solution to
the puzzle, then I will attempt to explain it based on that. The Mario pipes
are arranged like...
0..0..0
0..0..0
0..0..0
...and the metal U-Shaped pipes look like:
X
X
Drop the U-Shaped pipes onto the Mario pipes so that the arrangement looks
like:
0..X..0
X..X..X
X..0..X
Switch back to Bart on the elevated catwalk on the other side of the room. Face
the giant red pipe, and use your grappling hook to get to it. When he falls in
it, he comes out of the red Mario pipe on the other side. The U-Shaped pipes
takes him from the red pipe to the blue pipe, the blue pipe to the yellow pipe,
and the yellow pipe through the green paper, and out of the green pipe to the
left. I have not tried it, but I assume that if you arrange the pipes with the
Hand of Buddha to incorporate going into the purple pipe, you will come out of
the purple pipe coming from the wall and into the slime. At any rate, jump
through the green pipe on the far side of this room to get to the final area.
Jump onto the trampoline with Bart to reach the zipline that takes you across
the gap. Take care of the two football players and pull the lever to open up
the pipe from the first platform so that Lisa can join you. Grab her fifth
Malibu Stacy coupon. Step up to the Buddha statue to unlock the Hand of Buddha
Smash. Activate the Hand, and pick up the trash-can-lid looking object floating
in the slime. Drop it to destroy it, and to make a final green pipe appear.
Jump in it to be taken to the inner area with the Stubborn Ape.
Destroy the boxes to the left of the green pipe to uncover Bart's sixth and
final Krusty Koupon. Destroy the boxes in the far back right corner of the area
to uncover Lisa's sixth and final coupon.
This is not in the slightest a difficult boss fight. The entire point is to
take control of the three statues of Buddha, and to use your newly unlocked
Hand of Buddha smash three times on the Stubborn Ape. Once you use one statue,
the Ape throws a red barrel and destroys the one you just used. Use the
trampolines to reach either statue on the left and the right and use the statue
on the ground in the middle. Once you've hit him three times, Professor Frink
is freed and the level ends.

5.0.7 - The Day of the Dolphin
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------
Target Time - 10:00.00
Characters - Bart/Lisa
Video Game Clichs - 1
------------------------------
This level is quite short, but humorous, nonetheless. You begin with your
initial objective:
- Get past the boathouse
Before you do anything, take one of your characters and jump off of the dock
and into the water to receive the video game clich for this level. Back on the
dock, kill the dolphins that hop up until the metal gate opens. Because there
will be so many dolphins to kill at one time throughout this level, I actually
recommend that you don't pick up any of Bart's special ammunition. This way,
you can quickly down all of the enemies in the level with rapid shots.
Additionally, interestingly enough, when you fight the dolphins in this level
and you knock them back into the water, they don't return. At any rate, Step
through the gate, and use Bart's slingshot on the green button in the air to
release the lifeboat into the water, completing a path across. Traverse the
platforms to receive your second objective:
- Cross the dolphin-infested pier
Immediately after jumping from the second lifeboat onto the next pier, turn to
the left and look up. You will find a spot where Bart can grapple. Do so to go
to the elevated building to the left. From where you land, look around the back
side of the building to find Bart's first Krusty Koupon sitting on the ground.
Hop across to grab it. If you want, grab some of the special ammunition from
inside the building (although, as I said, I recommend against it). When you're
down, hop back down to the main area.
Take control of the nearby Buddha statue. Pick up the two lifeboats floating in
the water and position them around the white boat on the wooden poles
protruding from the water to make a path to the giant carousel looking object.
Hop across the three boats onto the carousel to get Lisa's first Malibu Stacy
coupon. Go back to the Buddha statue and take the lifeboat that goes from the
white boat to the carousel and position it so that it goes to the raised area
towards the upper-left side of the screen. Cross the platforms and hop onto the
raised platform. Press the nearby button to open the metal gate into the next
i dont have the game but that must've taken years to do
