Description
After completing the "Bargain Bin" level, four new levels unlock at the Game Hub. While you can choose any order, the story leads to this level next. It's the first level where Bart can use his wrist rocket for more range and damage, and his super-cape to glide further for a longer time. The level is split into three areas, each set in a different location.
Plot
Bart and Homer are sent back to World War II, where they meet a young Grampa and Mr. Burns in the army. Sergeant Simpson informs Homer and Bart about their mission: Germany plans to attack the French city of St. de Capitulons, which supplies snails to the French Army. Homer and Bart parachute into the city, where they see Üter throw a rock at a window, causing the French to surrender with white flags. Abe and Burns order them to remove the surrender flags scattered around the town. Private Burns suggests looting French paintings "for safekeeping". After collecting all the flags, Homer and Bart must escort a truck carrying the paintings through Kasserine Pass filled with tanks and mines. After safely escorting the truck, they learn Burns has stolen the paintings and taken them to his aircraft carrier, the U.S.S Reel Crazy. The Hellfish squad provides air support while Homer and Bart board the ship. Homer uses C4 explosives to destroy rocket launchers, and Bart uses air currents to reach Burns' platform and defeat him. Back in St. De Capitulons, the French thank Homer and Bart for returning the paintings, and one even kisses Homer, tickling him with his moustache. Bart asks Homer if he can drink wine like the other kids, but Homer refuses. They later discover the Hellfish keycard hidden behind one of the paintings.
