The elevator takes Homer, Bart, Lisa and [[Marge]] up to another section of the engine, above the previous one, but this resembles a fancy movie megaplex with a red carpet all over the floor, big stairways on each side that connect to a door with a mansion behind it, tubes transporting money to the mansion, posters of games everywhere and five portals with pictures of the Simpsons, four of which transport to some other worlds and one to [[Springfield]]. The real Simpsons meet their pixelated counterparts, who tell them that to stop the aliens from invading Springfield, they will have to talk to the creator. He lives in the mansion and created all the worlds. To open the door, they have to find the four keycards, which are in the four worlds. The Simpsons then talk to [[Professor Frink]] to receive new powers. Homer gets the "Gumi-Homer" power: he can eat [[Gummi Venus de Milo]] to turn into a big gumi and shoot gumi-balls to far enemies; Bart gets the "wrest rocket" and the "super [[Bartman]] cape": his slingshot can shoot further and does more damage and his Bartman cape is bigger so he can glade further and more time; Lisa gets the "Buddha's lighting and freeze": she can use her hand to electrocute and freeze enemies; and Marge gets the "mega-megaphone": her mob can attack enemies from a distance throwing rocks.

"Bargain Bin" is the tenth level of The Simpsons Game.

Description[edit]

The playable characters of this level are Homer and Bart. It is one of the timed levels and the only one without any enemies.

Synopsis[edit]

"The Simpsons are transported to the game engine, where Will Wright, a video game creator, wants to destroy older version of the Simpsons."


Plot[edit]

Escape from Krusty Island about to be destroyed

The alien invasion continues, but there are no more upgrades for the Simpsons powers, so Bart and Lisa head inside the house to use another way of cheating: internet. Bart founds a site for The Simpsons Game but just as he is about to say what they are supposed to do, Homer pushes him to play Solitaire. He opens the disc plate to put his beer on it, but when it closes itself, the beer drops into the keyboard, which produces a short-circuit that transports the Simpsons to a factory-looking place. Lisa says it is the game engine. Then, Will Wright, the creator of the Sims, appears and tells them his latest release, "Sims Sandwich", drove him mad, so he spends his time in that place destroying old video games, one of which is Escape from Krusty Island, and its characters are old, pixelated versions of the Simpsons. Homer and Bart need to rescue them before the game reaches the incinerator. They jump on several paths and platforms solving puzzles and eventually reach a lever that puts the incinerator off. Homer and Bart enter an elevator while Will Wright says some EA nerds caused this because they are jealous of him.

Gameplay[edit]

There is a three minute timer for this level. Have Bartman grappling hook across the gap and pull the lever to let Homer cross. Turn Homer int Homer Ball and dash through the cracked wall to break it. Go down the ramp and turn left. Hit a target with Bart's slingshot to create the bridge. Follow the path forward until you get to the next gap. Have Homer use Homer Ball to dash through the barrels and grappling hook over with Bart. Do the same to get to the next platform after this. Jump up on the jump pad and follow the path along. Get Bart and Homer over to the platform by using Homer Ball and the grappling hook again. Have both characters stand on the buttons to open the door to the lever. Pull the lever to end the level.

Things To Do[edit]

  1. Shut down the cartridge incinerator.

Collectibles[edit]

There are three Duff Caps, four Krusty Koupons and two clichés in the level:
