Shadow of the Colossal Donut is the eighth level of The Simpsons Game. Bart and Homer try to defeat Lard Lad after Kang and Kodos made him destroy Springfield.
Description
After the level "Enter the Cheatrix" is finished, three more levels open up at the Simpsons house backyard. These can be taken in any order, but following the story, this is the next level. Also, this level introduces Homer's new power, "Heli-Homer".
Plot
Kang and Kodos' invasion in Springfield included attacking dolphins, which Bart and Lisa defeated. Kang and Kodos shot a laser at a Lard Lad statue which made him come to life and destroy the city. Almost all buildings have been destroyed by Lard Lad's laser. Kent Brockman is reporting the chaos in live from his helicopter, watching how Homer and Bart try to beat Lard Lad. He attacks them when he sees them with his laser and his stomps. Plus, his laser can make little Krustys come to life by shooting at Krusty Burger billboards. They will attack Homer and Bart, but they are weak and can be easily beaten by shooting them or using Homer Ball boosts. To get food, Homer can eat tacos from a taco van, ask for food at the Krusty Burger or get food from donuts billboards, since Lard Lad's laser can also make drawn food real. Lard Lad shoots them every time he sees them, but he has a weakness, three hatches in his butt, back and head. Bart can use his slingshot to open the hatch in his butt (which will stop him), jump on it and disable his wiring. But the hatch in his back is too high, so to get to it Bart has to go to the top of a building and jump from there. The third hatch is in his head really high up, but Homer can use his new power to get to it: Heli-Homer. He can breath helium to become a ball and float until the gas is out. When Homer floats to Lard Lad's head and disables the wiring in the last hatch, Lard Lad will fall to the floor. Kang and Kodos look from their spaceship as Homer pounds away at the fallen statue's crotch, much to his son's embarrrassment, and claim a revenge.

Clichés
Comic Book Guy's video game clichés
- Obvious Weakness: shoot at Lard Lad's first hatch to get this cliché.
Trivia
- The living Lard Lad statue attacking the city is a reference to the "Treehouse of Horror VI" segment, "Attack of the 50-Foot Eyesores".
- Also, the Krusty dolls coming to life and attacking might be a reference to the doll featured in the "Treehouse of Horror III" segment, "Clown Without Pity".
- The title of the level is an obvious reference to the rather obsure videogame, "Shadow of the Colossus" which features the hero taking on giant constructs.
