"Enter the Cheatrix" is the sixth level of The Simpsons Game. After the alien invasion, Bart and Lisa go to Professor Frink, but they end up in a video game factory.

Description

This level introduces Bart and Lisa's new powers. Bartman now can use a grapple to get to far places, and Lisa earns the super-saxophone which can control stunned enemies and the "Hand of Buddha's power flick".

Plot

Bart and Lisa getting teleported into The Game Engine
Koopa Troopa and Professor Frink

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

Xbox 360/PS3 Version

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

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

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.
