The Simpsons Game Parodies
Based on the popular TV show, The Simpsons Game uses a variety of pop-culture references. One example of this is Marge's journey to ban a popular game called Grand Theft Scratchy, which is a reference to the Grand Theft Auto series. Some of the level titles and game-worlds parody other video games, such as EverQuest in the form of the level "NeverQuest." -

The Land of Chocolate
- Note: The videos embedded below are taken from various sources around the web, and may represent an alternative strategy to our written walkthrough.
- YouTube: The Simpsons Game Stage 1 "The Land of Chocolate" (Time 3:39)
- The first episode takes you to the land of chocolate, which is a reference to a previous episode of The Simpsons. This is the tutorial level of the game and you have limited abilities. As you progress through the game, you are given more abilities and can revisit each episode.
- After the cutscene ends, a white chocolate rabbit confronts Homer and taunts him. Follow it.
- You will need to cross the chocolate river with Homer. Jump across the short system of platforms and then climb up on the ledge.
- Once you have climbed the ledge, Homer is attacked by chocolate bunnies. Defeat them.
- Tip: Punching the rabbits is fairly easy. After killing them, eat the chocolate pieces they leave behind. The pieces give Homer power.
- Punch your way through the chocolate wagons and work your way through the village until you come to a fountain with a picture of Marge on it. Chocolate bunnies will keep coming out of it until you destroy the fountain by punching it.
- Tip: Take out the fountain first, then take on the bunnies. If you don't, you will be fighting bunnies forever.
- Destroy the graham cracker gate that is blocking your path, then destroy the three chocolate fountains.
- After the fountains are taken care of, you will see the white chocolate rabbit taunting Homer from the top of a giant cake.
- Walk up to the arrow that is pointing at a pile of ice cream and press the "use" button. This will activate the moving cookie sandwiches. Use them to jump across the chocolate moat.
- Jump on the cookies and get on the cake's first tier, then use the bounce pad to get on the second and third tiers. Climb the ladder to get to the fourth tier, then use a double-jump to get to the fifth and final tier. Once on top of the cake you will be alone with the white chocolate rabbit.
- Defeat the white chocolate rabbit by punching or belching.
- Tip: Before fighting, make sure you are not in Homer's ball form. If you are, you will fall through the top of the cake and have to take on the white chocolate rabbit as well as the mob of chocolate rabbits.
- After defeating the white chocolate rabbit, you can turn Homer into a ball which will break through the top of the cake and bring you to the bottom. The rabbits are waiting for you below.
- Roll your way towards the center where there is a bunny idol. Roll through the bunnies that are in your way.
- Destroy the bunny idol, which will end the tutorial level.
- Tip: The first Achievement and the easiest is the "Press START to Play" Achievement, just press start and you get 5 Achievement points.
- Tip: You can view any of your objectives by opening the checklist.
- You will unlock the "Chocolate Victory" Achievement for 10 Gamer Points.
- You have now unlocked Bart. Each new character has new abilities that help you progress through the game.
- Once outside look for the beam of light to start the next episode in the game.
- Tip: Beams of light trigger a new level (Episode)
- The next episode starts at the "SequelStop" location, a pun on the "GameStop" video game chain of stores.
- Press the use button to start the next episode.

Bartman Begins
- YouTube: The Simpsons Game Stage 2 "Bartman Begins"(Time: 5:30)
- This episode should take no more than twenty minutes. It's fast and fairly easy.
- Homer finds Bart in an alley. He will ask Bart if he wants to go into the sewer with him and shoot rats with a shotgun. Bart then turns into Bartman.
- Use Bart to double-jump across the ravine. Once across, destroy the boxes and bats with his sling shot. You can now enter the temple.
- You must now cross the chasm. Step on the left pressure pad to trigger the ledges. Have Bart climb the ledges that project out and then have Homer step on the right pressure pad to trigger the other ledges. Once they are out, have Bart climb to the top.
- Tip: If Homer steps off of the right pressure pad while Bart is on the ledge, the ledge will recede and Bart will fall.
- Once Bart is at the top of the statue, turn him into Bartman and jump to the platform in the center of the chasm. A bridge will come out for Homer to cross.
- Have Bart climb the wall on the right hand side and push the bounce pad down for Homer to jump on. Once Homer is up on the ledge step on both pressure pads to activate the opening of the wall.
- Get both Homer and Bart onto the Dinosaur fossil in the middle of the next room by climbing the adjacent ladder. Security guards will emerge, but you can take down the first wave if you position both Homer and Bart on top of the fossil. Have Homer walk to the back end of the Dinosaur. Then have Bart turn into Bartman and go to the front, do a double jump and float to the ledge. Take it to the other side. Once across, open the door for Homer.
- In the next room there are more security guards. Have Homer activate the switch by the volcano. This will provide an air stream for Bart. Use the cape to get to the pterodactyls. Walk to the white spot on the wing and he will be bounced to a wire hanging over the room.
- Ride the wire and drop down on top of the tree, then jump up the branches to the top. At the top Bart needs to use his slingshot near the white light on the tree. There is a target directly in front of him. When the target is hit, the doors open to the next area.
- Some guards will come out of the next room. Destroy them and then have Bart step on the right pressure pad. This will turn Bart into RoboBart. Now he can fire lasers through glass temporarily, which will be enough to get through the next few rooms. If he runs out, he can go back and get the lasers again.
- Go through the next corridor which is a panorama display in the museum. Use the RoboBart function to shoot the targets in order from start to finish to force Jimbo's thug out of the display. Along the way there are platforms where Bart can recharge RoboBart.
- Tip: Once Jimbo's thug runs out, turn into Homer and fight them.
- Proceed into the next room, which is the space exhibit.
- Have Bart climb the wall in Bartman-mode and do a double-jump. Glide to a jet of hot air, which will take him to a jet that is not producing air. While Bart is on the jet, switch to Homer and activate the jet, allowing Bart to glide to the remaining jets.
- Jump from the last jet onto the shuttle. From the shuttle, jump onto the pole at the edge of the ship. Rotate on the pole.
- Tip: Climb near the top but not all the way up.
- Turn Bart with his back facing the planet and do a double-jump onto the planet's ring and follow it around to the other side.
- After you have across the planets, jump onto the satellite and cross it to the other side. You need to time the next jump right in order to get onto the moving platforms.
- Tip: Wait until the first one is lowered to the bottom before jumping or you will start the jump sequence all over again.
- Jump the next two moving platforms and then onto the top of the saucer. Once on top of the saucer you can begin attacking Jimbo.
- Tip: The best plan is to jump on the other planet and shoot him with the sling shot. Keep a good distance to avoid defeat.
- You earn the "Heist Hijinx" Achievement for 10 Gamer Points.
- After completing the first level, Homer and Bart are trapped between two barricades on the street. You must get past the barricades in order to move on to the next level.
- Turn Homer into the ball and do a Ball-Slam on the fire hydrant. The fire hydrant will spit out a jet of water.
- Have Bart go into Bartman-mode and ride the jet of water and glide over the barricade on the other side.
- Activate the switch and this will open the gate blocking the way. There is still another barricade to get through.
- Turn Homer into a ball and do a "Ball Burst" into the cracked barricade. After you break through the barricade you can head to the Duff brewery for the next episode.

- In Scotland, have Homer do a "Ball Burst" into Stonehenge which will knock the rocks down. Proceed to the over-sized bagpipes. Make Homer do a Ball Slam on the bag portion which will create an air stream out of the pipes.
- Have Bart go to the pipes and ride the air stream to the switch on the next ledge. The switch will open the gate to Italy.
- Once in Italy, have Homer do a Ball Burst up the ramp by the giant meatball. He will destroy the meatball and will create an opening up on the next platform.
- Work your way up the ladder from the ledge and head to the Golden Gate Bridge.
- On the bridge, have Bart climb the ivy on the right tower of the bridge. Once at the top have him to a double jump glide to the switch to open and activate the final area in the episode.
- A giant Statue of Liberty rises out of the ground holding a giant hamburger.
- Tip: To complete this level, have Homer do a Ball Slam on the giant silver dollar, this will create a weak spot on the statue. Then have him do a Ball Burst into the statue to knock it down a level. Keep doing this until the giant hamburger falls off.
- Once the hamburger falls off, run and eat it to end the level.
