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 and the "Hand of Buddha's power flick".
Plot
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.
Springfield is still being attacked by Lard Lad, the dolphins and the aliens, and the Simpson family can defeat them with their renewed powers.

Gameplay
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.
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.
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.
