Item Description

Bart wins a round-the-world scavenger hunt on The Krusty the Clown Show, and it seems too good to be true because it is. Smithers has rigged the contest on Mr. Burns's orders, and Burns has a score to settle with the Simpsons, so waiting at every stop of the trip is a fresh scheme to get rid of them for good.

The trip covers four areas, China, the North Pole, Egypt and Hollywood, each spread across several stages, and every area ends with a showdown against one of Burns's oddball relatives, from the Abominable Snow Burns to Ramses Burns. Bart defends himself with firecracker balls, restores his health with Squishees, and can grab a cape that turns him into Bartman for short bursts of flight. Every stage hides a Krusty souvenir, and finding them all is the key to the best ending and to a bonus Hollywood level, while other members of the family turn up with hints about where to look.

What really sets Bart vs. the World apart is its variety. Between the platforming stages, each area mixes in puzzle mini-games, including a card-matching game and a trivia challenge built on events from the show's first two seasons. That trivia is a wonderful time capsule of early Simpsons, from the era when the family was brand new on television and Bart was everywhere, and longtime fans will enjoy testing how much they actually remember.

Developed by Imagineering and published by Acclaim in 1991, it was the second Simpsons game on the NES, following Bart vs. the Space Mutants. Reviews were mixed at the time, though some outlets praised its graphics and controls, and its globe-trotting structure and episode trivia give it a personality all its own. It is the sightseeing chapter of the NES trilogy, and the one that feels most like an actual episode of the show.
