Mob Rules

Level Information Game: The Simpsons Game Number: 5 Number of objectives: 8 Playable character(s): Lisa and Marge Main location: Springfield

"Mob Rules" is the fifth level of The Simpsons Game. Marge and Lisa recruit angry people of Springfield to claim the prohibition of the violent video game Grand Theft Scratchy.

Description[edit]

This is the first level to include Marge as a playable character, as well as all of her powers. Lisa helps Marge and the mob in getting into hard to reach places using the Hand of Buddha.

Synopsis[edit]

"Marge and Lisa work together to get an angry mob together to get Grand Theft Scratchy banned from Springfield."

Plot[edit]

Marge and Lisa are walking while reading a Springfield Shopper article about a senator trying to ban the video game Grand Theft Scratchy for kids, but Mayor Quimby is being bribed by an EA executive. Meanwhile, Martin buys the game and steals Ned Flanders' car to get home quickly. Lisa tells Marge she can control mobs with a megaphone, so they decide to use this power to stop Grand Theft Scratchy. They recruit Springfield citizens to destroy Grand Theft Scratchy floats, fighting kids in Itchy and Scratchy masks and riot cops around the city.

Reaching the town square, they find the Jebediah Springfield statue replaced by an Itchy and Scratchy statue, with more riot cops trying to stop Marge’s mob. After destroying the statue, Scratchy's head rolls into the town hall, breaking a wall. Inside, Mayor Quimby and the EA executive are too distracted in the pool to notice. When the executive bribes Quimby, he calls his sexy interns. Marge uses Maggie to turn up the heat on the pool, forcing them out. When the executive sees the senator, the bribe falls through, and Quimby agrees to stop selling Grand Theft Scratchy to kids. The mob celebrates, and Marge kisses the Simpsons Game book, while Lisa rolls her eyes at the irony of using violence to stop a violent video game.

Later, the Simpson family discusses their new powers in the kitchen, leading to an argument. Suddenly, aliens Kang and Kodos invade, bringing the Lard Lad statue to life, causing dolphins to attack humans and destroy the Paradise Pier, and destroying the Springfield Mall. The Simpsons' powers aren't strong enough, so they seek help from the smartest person in Springfield, Professor Frink.

Gameplay[edit]

From the start of the level, the player gets a tutorial on Marge's abilities. Recruit Ned and then set him attacking the first Grand Theft Scratchy float. Recruit Dr. Hibbert and Edna Krabappel then get the next float destroyed. Destroy the third float, recruiting other people in the area to help, and fend off attacks from angry kids. Once the third float is destroyed, have Lisa bounce up onto SequelStop and use the Hand of Buddha to block the fire hydrant's spray. Move onto the next area and take down the police. Destroy the floats in this area then have Lisa climb the ladder to the next Buddha statue. Use the Hand of Buddha to move the bits of billboard left behind by the floats and make a bridge. Cross the bridge and attack the police then command the mob to break down the cracked wall. Move on into the parking lot and get to the top floor. Use Lisa's Hand of Buddha to move the cars and let the mob up. Then have Marge command the mob to break down the billboard.

The next billboard is electrified so Marge has to use Maggie to crawl through the vents and turn it off. Marge can then command the mob to break down the next billboard. This leads to an area with an elevator which Marge has to command her mob to get onto. Lisa must then use the Hand of Buddha to remove the battery, causing the elevator to lower the mob down. Follow the mob down and command them to break the three floats, fending off the attacks from kids and police as you do. There will also be a Marge Cop power up to make Marge temporarily invincible. Once the three floats are destroyed, have Lisa jump up to a Buddha Statue and use the Hand of Buddha to move the three shapes left behind by the floats into slots. Marge then has to have the mob build a ramp up using these. Carry on and there's an optional breakable wall to save Snake.

After Snake, the player will make it to the town square. Have the mob attack the Itchy & Scratchy statue in the center whilst fending off the mob. There's also a Buddha statue nearby for Lisa to help by dropping things on enemies. Make sure to keep the mob attacking the statue as it's easy for them to be attacked and stop. Once the statue is destroyed, the head will break apart the town hall, creating a way to climb it. Climb up the town hall and have Maggie go through another vent. Maggie can interact with steam valves in the vent, which heats up the hot tub that Mayor Quimby and the EA executive are in. Once all three valves are turned, the level ends.
