[[Kang]] and [[Kodos]] have invaded [[Springfield]] and [[Bart]] and [[Lisa]] decide to go to [[Professor Frink]]. They head to Frink's house, but he's not in so they break inside, where they discover his Rift Portal machine. Lisa and Bart enter and are transported through a rift tunnel. They eventually end up in a huge place, full of goo, hearts, cards and old video game characters. Professor Frink appears and explains to them it's a video game factory. Bart and Lisa tell Frink that Springfield is being invaded by aliens, and he suggests cheating by using "The Simpsons Game Strategy Guide", despite Lisa disliking cheating. Just when Frink is about to give them the guide, he is kidnapped by Donkey Kong, a giant video game ape. Some pages fall, and they explain the new powers. Bart earns the [[Bartman]]'s grapple. He grapples to the other side of a platform and pulls a lever so Lisa can reach him. They get inside a [[Mario]] warp pipe which transports them to another section of the factory. They follow the ape through a conveyor belt with chips and defeat some karate masters and football players who come from the "employees only" doors. With Buddha's Hand, Lisa positions some cogs to make a platform move up and down so they can get to another warp pipe. Now they are in the same place they started, but higher. After that, they get to the blood room, full of blood pools and barrels, the place where Lisa earns the super-saxophone: when played, the stunned enemies fight each other. When Bart and Lisa find another warp pipe after deactivating the knives and "pows" generators, they get to the same starting place but at the highest point, which has a warp pipe with goo falling on it. Bart uses his slingshot to make [[Sonic the Hedgehog]] fling off a treadmill, so the goo stops and Bart and Lisa can go ahead. Now they are in the marketing room, and have to make their way across the goo river, the karate and football men and the big moving platforms. Lisa uses Buddha's Hand to move the platforms so Bart can grapple to a warp pipe and activate it. They are transported to the ape room. Here Lisa earns the Buddha's Hand power flick: she can kick the enemies with her hand from above and send them to fly. She kicks a football player to a button, which makes a warp pipe appear and transport them across the goo river to the ape platform. Frink is on a higher platform with ladders and Donkey Kong is throwing barrels. Now the karate and football men spawn infinitely and keep throwing fire balls and football balls at Bart and Lisa plus Donkey Kong's barrels. Lisa uses the power flick to send the ape down the goo. Frink is now free and transports Bart and Lisa back home, but Frink stays there with his new girlfriend, [[Koopa Troopa]], a relationship that makes Bart and Lisa cringe at the thought.

[[Kang]] and [[Kodos]] invade Springfield, and [[Bart]] and [[Lisa]] go to [[Professor Frink]] for help. They break into his house and find a portal machine, which transports them to a strange video game world. Frink explains it's a video game factory and suggests they cheat using a strategy guide, but before he can help, Stubborn Ape kidnaps him. They chase Stubborn Ape throughout the factory, fighting enemies and solving puzzles. In the end, Lisa defeats Stubborn Ape by knocking him into video game goo, freeing Frink. He sends them back home, but stays behind with his new girlfriend, [[Koopa Troopa]], which grosses out Bart and Lisa. Back in Springfield, the Simpson family uses their powers to fight off the remaining invaders.
  
Springfield is still being attacked by [[Lard Lad]], the dolphins and the aliens, and the Simpson family can defeat them with their renewed powers.

When the level begins, collect the guide book page to unlock Bart's grappling hook ability. Swing over the hooks to get across the platforms. Activate the lever to open the teleport pipe and bring Lisa through the pipe to Bart. Have Bart and Lisa stand on the red buttons to open the exit pipe and move on to the next area. After the cutscene, have Bart grapple over to the lever and Krusty Koupon to stop the pipe making barrels. Beat up the Madden guy and press the button on the door to stop it spawning enemies. Use the jump pad to get up to another lever which stops the pipe making crates. Continue along the conveyor belt and beat up the next Madden guy and press the button on the door again. Then have Bart grapple over to the Buddha statue and pull the lever, activating a moving platform for Lisa to get on. Have Lisa climb the ladder and use the [[Hand of Buddha]] to move the cogs. Linking them all up to the left side will activate moving platforms to get up to the exit pipe. Take the exit pipe to the next area.
 
  
Jump onto the wall and climb along it towards the next pipe. The other character will follow the player. Have both characters step on buttons to open the next pipe. Go through this to the blood room. Defeat the ''Street Fighter'' guy and jump over to a rope, then onto the platform. Follow the ledge around to a jump pad to get up. Press the button on the enemy spawning door and beat up any enemies. Use the Buddha statue to remove the pipes from the blood tanks and drain them to reveal bridge pieces. Place the bridge pieces in the gaps and go across the bridge, beating up any enemies as you go. Press the button on the enemy spawning door and defeat the rest of the enemies. Pick up the next page which will give Lisa her Super Saxophone ability, allowing her to make stunned enemies attack each other. Go up the pole and continue on, defeating the enemies. Pull the lever to stop the next obstruction on the conveyor belts. Use the jump pad and carry on. Pull the next lever to stop the next obstruction which leads to the exit pipe. Take this to the next room.
+
As Bart, grab the Bartman Grapple upgrade, which lets you use grappling points to move forward. Use it to cross three hook points and reach the platform with a large green pipe. Pull the lever to open the pipe on Lisa's side, then switch to her and jump in. Both characters need to stand on red pressure pads to enter the next area. In the cartridge room, use Bart to grapple to platforms with levers and shut down machines while fending off football players. Make sure to stop them from respawning by pressing the button next to their spawn door. Use Lisa's Hand of Buddha to place gears and clear the path. In the second shaft area, get Bart and Lisa across the ledge to the pressure pads to open the pipe and enter the next room. In the blood room, defeat street fighters along the way and get Lisa to use the Hand of Buddha to lift gray pipes and empty the blood tanks, revealing two walkway pieces to place. Cross the bridge, grab the strategy guide page, and climb the pole. Pull the lever to shut down a machine and continue forward. Hop up to the next level, shut off the sword machine, and clear the way to the exit pipe. In the third shaft area, jump on the trampoline as Bart and shoot the blue hedgehog to stop the sludge blocking the bridge. Get to the next pipe to move forward. In the Marketing Room, cross the conveyor to the black/yellow poles, climb up, and shimmy across to the trampoline. Fight street fighters and football players, and focus on destroying spawners. After clearing the enemies, use Bart's grapple to move across the area, while Lisa helps by placing platforms using the Hand of Buddha. Get Bart to the highest tower and pull the lever to reveal two pressure pads. Use them to proceed. At the top of the factory, hop onto the trampoline and zip to the sludge tank. Pull the lever so Lisa can join Bart. Use the Hand of Buddha to solve a puzzle by flicking a football player to hit the red button and drain the sludge, revealing the pipe to confront the Ape. Defeat all football players and street fighters first which will make the Ape step forward. Then, use the Hand of Buddha to attack the Ape with the power flick attack. Defeat more enemies as they appear, and keep attacking the Ape until he's sent into the vat of sludge.

Run forward as Bart and grab the Bartman Grapple upgrade, which lets him grapple onto hook points. Use it to cross three hooks and reach the platform with a large green pipe. Pull the lever to open the pipe at Lisa's end, then switch to her and jump inside. Have both characters stand on the red pressure pads to enter the next area. In the cartridge room, run forward as Bart and use the grapple to reach a platform with a lever. Pull it to shut down the first machine. Football players will attack—make sure to push the button by their spawn door to stop them from respawning. Use the trampoline as Bart to pull another lever and shut down the second machine. Continue forward, defeat more football players, and grapple to the coin machine. Pull the lever to activate a coin platform for Lisa. Use the Hand of Buddha to move blue gears onto the pegs, connecting the engine gears. Then, jump down as Bart and use the green pipe to proceed. In the second shaft area, get Bart and Lisa across the ledge to the next pressure pads, opening the pipe to enter the next room. In the blood room, defeat the street fighters.

In the Marketing Room, run forward, climb the black/yellow poles, and shimmy to a trampoline. Use it to reach the top of the contraption, then cross the bridge. Fight an army of street fighters and football players, focusing on destroying their spawners first. Once the enemies are cleared, use Bart to jump on trampolines and reach the top. Defeat more enemies and cross the conveyor belt to pull a lever, lowering a platform for Lisa. Get Lisa to the Hand of Buddha and lift three pipes into place: between pink and orange, orange and yellow, and yellow and green. Use Bart's Grapple to reach the top of the pink pipe, then follow the pipes to the final platform and jump into the exit pipe. At the top of the factory, hop onto the trampoline and zip across to the large sludge tank. Pull a lever for Lisa to join Bart. Use Lisa's new Buddha Powers to pull the sink stopper and drain the sludge, revealing the pipe to reach Stubborn Ape. Defeat the football players and street fighters, then use the Hand of Buddha to attack Stubborn Ape with Buddha Smash at the three buddha ports.

Use the jump pad to get up to [[Sonic]] and use Bart's slingshot to knock him off, stopping the toxic sludge from coming. Carry on to the next pipe to the Marketing room. Jump over the platforms in the sludge and take the poles up to a platform. Follow it around to another jump pad and get up to a ramp. Continue on to the next part and defeat all the enemies and break all the spawning doors. Have Bart climb up the electrified walls and follow the conveyor belt, avoiding the hammers. Then grapple over to the first raised platform. Have Lisa climb up the ladder to the Buddha statue and use the Hand of Buddha to move targets to the other platforms, which lower the grappling hooks. Have Bart grapple over to each platform and keep repeating this until he gets to the lever. Pull the lever to open up the buttons which open up the next exit pipe.
+
Run right until you find a low grapple point. Use the grapple hook to reach the platform, then grapple left and up to the top. Fight the street fighters and grapple right to reach the levers and a Hand of Buddha. Pull the left lever, then the right. Use the Hand of Buddha to move the crate next to the ledge. Jump on the crate to reach the next Hand of Buddha. Set up the two purple platforms to jump onto the beige machine on the left.

Jump up to the white platform, move right, and pull the next lever. Move Lisa to the right and enter the doorway.
 +
 
 +
In the Audio Room, defeat the street fighter, then pull the levers starting with the right one to bring down a Hand of Buddha. Use it to turn up the amp and blow out the speakers on the left. Grapple up to the speaker platform on the left and glide to the right. Defeat the street fighter, jump the gate, and pull the levers in this order: 1, 3, 2. Move right, use the Hand of Buddha below the big speaker to lift Lisa onto the platforms, and clear the enemies. The order for the four levers on the right is: 3, 1, 2, 4. Use the next Hand of Buddha to crank up the amp and switch to Bart. Use the vents to float up to the top of the amp and pull the lever to switch back to Lisa. Get Lisa to the amp and use the Hand of Buddha to move the VOL, TREBLE, and BARRELS switches so you can jump up to the left. Continue left to another Hand of Buddha, then use it to lift Lisa to the speaker with the street fighter. Crank up the amp below. Move Bart to the right, use the vents to get to the top-left corner, and pull the lever.
 +
 
 +
In the Blood Room, move right until you reach the chainsaw platforms. Jump under them, pull the lever to remove the chainsaws, and quickly climb up to the ladder. Use the Hand of Buddha to turn the valve and stop the blood stream. Take Bart to the right, grapple up to a high platform, and zipline left. Pull the lever to prepare for Lisa, then cross the zipline to the top of the beige machine, move up, and continue right. Pull the lever on the purple machine. As Lisa, move left to the purple machine with the beige pipe. A barrel hides a Hand of Buddha. Use it to lower the purple platform, jump up, and cross to the left. Use the next Hand of Buddha to hit the plunger at the top. Take Bart right, pull the red lever, and Lisa can now cross to use the Hand of Buddha. Lift her up and jump onto the conveyor platform on the right. Ride it to the lever and pull it to open the gate. Continue right, but watch for street fighters and lasers.
 +
 
 +
The Marketing room is simple. Run right past the spiked platforms as quickly as possible. Holding Right helps power through.
 +
 
 +
At the boss fight with Stubborn Ape, Clear out the metal pins by using the Hand of Buddha. Work your way up the platforms, pick up the last pin, and defeat Stubborn Ape to save Frink.
  
Have Bart zipline over to the next platform and defeat the enemies there. Pull the lever to open up a teleport pipe for Lisa to get across. Go to the next Buddha statue and unlock the ability for Lisa to flick enemies. Have Lisa use the Hand of Buddha to flick the spawning enemies into a button which reveals a new teleport pipe. Take this pipe to the boss arena. Defeat enemies in the boss arena to make Donkey Kong walk forward. Then, use the Hand of Buddha to flick him back into the barrels. Doing this three times will defeat him and end the level.

Kang and Kodos invade Springfield, and Bart and Lisa go to Professor Frink for help. They break into his house and find a portal machine, which transports them to a strange video game world. Frink explains it's a video game factory and suggests they cheat using a strategy guide, but before he can help, Stubborn Ape kidnaps him. They chase Stubborn Ape throughout the factory, fighting enemies and solving puzzles. In the end, Lisa defeats Stubborn Ape by knocking him into video game goo, freeing Frink. He sends them back home, but stays behind with his new girlfriend, Koopa Troopa, which grosses out Bart and Lisa. Back in Springfield, the Simpson family uses their powers to fight off the remaining invaders.

Gameplay[edit]

Xbox 360/PS3 Version[edit]

Donkey Kong is defeated.

As Bart, grab the Bartman Grapple upgrade, which lets you use grappling points to move forward. Use it to cross three hook points and reach the platform with a large green pipe. Pull the lever to open the pipe on Lisa's side, then switch to her and jump in. Both characters need to stand on red pressure pads to enter the next area. In the cartridge room, use Bart to grapple to platforms with levers and shut down machines while fending off football players. Make sure to stop them from respawning by pressing the button next to their spawn door. Use Lisa's Hand of Buddha to place gears and clear the path. In the second shaft area, get Bart and Lisa across the ledge to the pressure pads to open the pipe and enter the next room. In the blood room, defeat street fighters along the way and get Lisa to use the Hand of Buddha to lift gray pipes and empty the blood tanks, revealing two walkway pieces to place. Cross the bridge, grab the strategy guide page, and climb the pole. Pull the lever to shut down a machine and continue forward. Hop up to the next level, shut off the sword machine, and clear the way to the exit pipe. In the third shaft area, jump on the trampoline as Bart and shoot the blue hedgehog to stop the sludge blocking the bridge. Get to the next pipe to move forward. In the Marketing Room, cross the conveyor to the black/yellow poles, climb up, and shimmy across to the trampoline. Fight street fighters and football players, and focus on destroying spawners. After clearing the enemies, use Bart's grapple to move across the area, while Lisa helps by placing platforms using the Hand of Buddha. Get Bart to the highest tower and pull the lever to reveal two pressure pads. Use them to proceed. At the top of the factory, hop onto the trampoline and zip to the sludge tank. Pull the lever so Lisa can join Bart. Use the Hand of Buddha to solve a puzzle by flicking a football player to hit the red button and drain the sludge, revealing the pipe to confront the Ape. Defeat all football players and street fighters first which will make the Ape step forward. Then, use the Hand of Buddha to attack the Ape with the power flick attack. Defeat more enemies as they appear, and keep attacking the Ape until he's sent into the vat of sludge.

Wii/PS2/PSP Version[edit]

Run forward as Bart and grab the Bartman Grapple upgrade, which lets him grapple onto hook points. Use it to cross three hooks and reach the platform with a large green pipe. Pull the lever to open the pipe at Lisa's end, then switch to her and jump inside. Have both characters stand on the red pressure pads to enter the next area. In the cartridge room, run forward as Bart and use the grapple to reach a platform with a lever. Pull it to shut down the first machine. Football players will attack—make sure to push the button by their spawn door to stop them from respawning. Use the trampoline as Bart to pull another lever and shut down the second machine. Continue forward, defeat more football players, and grapple to the coin machine. Pull the lever to activate a coin platform for Lisa. Use the Hand of Buddha to move blue gears onto the pegs, connecting the engine gears. Then, jump down as Bart and use the green pipe to proceed. In the second shaft area, get Bart and Lisa across the ledge to the next pressure pads, opening the pipe to enter the next room. In the blood room, defeat the street fighters. Bart's slingshot is useful for stunning them. Use Lisa's Hand of Buddha to lift a broken walkway back into place. Cross the bridge and climb the pole to reach a lever. Pull it to shut down the next machine and continue. Hop up to the next level, pull another lever to turn off the sword machine, and clear the way to the exit pipe. In the third shaft area, jump on the trampoline as Bart and shoot the blue hedgehog to stop the sludge blocking the bridge. Reach the next pipe to proceed. In the Marketing Room, run forward, climb the black/yellow poles, and shimmy to a trampoline. Use it to reach the top of the contraption, then cross the bridge. Fight an army of street fighters and football players, focusing on destroying their spawners first. Once the enemies are cleared, use Bart to jump on trampolines and reach the top. Defeat more enemies and cross the conveyor belt to pull a lever, lowering a platform for Lisa. Get Lisa to the Hand of Buddha and lift three pipes into place: between pink and orange, orange and yellow, and yellow and green. Use Bart's Grapple to reach the top of the pink pipe, then follow the pipes to the final platform and jump into the exit pipe. At the top of the factory, hop onto the trampoline and zip across to the large sludge tank. Pull a lever for Lisa to join Bart. Use Lisa's new Buddha Powers to pull the sink stopper and drain the sludge, revealing the pipe to reach Stubborn Ape. Defeat the football players and street fighters, then use the Hand of Buddha to attack Stubborn Ape with Buddha Smash at the three buddha ports. Defeat waves of enemies and keep attacking the Ape until he's knocked into the vat of sludge.

DS Version[edit]

Run right until you find a low grapple point. Use the grapple hook to reach the platform, then grapple left and up to the top. Fight the street fighters and grapple right to reach the levers and a Hand of Buddha. Pull the left lever, then the right. Use the Hand of Buddha to move the crate next to the ledge. Jump on the crate to reach the next Hand of Buddha. Set up the two purple platforms to jump onto the beige machine on the left. Use the Enlightenment Port to lift Lisa to the top white platform, avoiding street fighters. Pull the lever and switch back to Bart. Jump up to the white platform, move right, and pull the next lever. Move Lisa to the right and enter the doorway.

In the Audio Room, defeat the street fighter, then pull the levers starting with the right one to bring down a Hand of Buddha. Use it to turn up the amp and blow out the speakers on the left. Grapple up to the speaker platform on the left and glide to the right. Defeat the street fighter, jump the gate, and pull the levers in this order: 1, 3, 2. Move right, use the Hand of Buddha below the big speaker to lift Lisa onto the platforms, and clear the enemies. The order for the four levers on the right is: 3, 1, 2, 4. Use the next Hand of Buddha to crank up the amp and switch to Bart. Use the vents to float up to the top of the amp and pull the lever to switch back to Lisa. Get Lisa to the amp and use the Hand of Buddha to move the VOL, TREBLE, and BARRELS switches so you can jump up to the left. Continue left to another Hand of Buddha, then use it to lift Lisa to the speaker with the street fighter. Crank up the amp below. Move Bart to the right, use the vents to get to the top-left corner, and pull the lever.

In the Blood Room, move right until you reach the chainsaw platforms. Jump under them, pull the lever to remove the chainsaws, and quickly climb up to the ladder. Use the Hand of Buddha to turn the valve and stop the blood stream. Take Bart to the right, grapple up to a high platform, and zipline left. Pull the lever to prepare for Lisa, then cross the zipline to the top of the beige machine, move up, and continue right. Pull the lever on the purple machine. As Lisa, move left to the purple machine with the beige pipe. A barrel hides a Hand of Buddha. Use it to lower the purple platform, jump up, and cross to the left. Use the next Hand of Buddha to hit the plunger at the top. Take Bart right, pull the red lever, and Lisa can now cross to use the Hand of Buddha. Lift her up and jump onto the conveyor platform on the right. Ride it to the lever and pull it to open the gate. Continue right, but watch for street fighters and lasers.

The Marketing room is simple. Run right past the spiked platforms as quickly as possible. Holding Right helps power through.

At the boss fight with Stubborn Ape, Clear out the metal pins by using the Hand of Buddha. Work your way up the platforms, pick up the last pin, and defeat Stubborn Ape to save Frink.
