In The Simpsons: Bart vs. the Space Mutants for the Sega Genesis, players guide Bart Simpson through Springfield to stop an alien invasion. This 1992 action-platformer challenges you to foil the Space Mutants’ plans by collecting or altering specific everyday items they need to build their secret weapon. Armed with spray paint, a slingshot, and X-ray glasses to spot disguised aliens, Bart must outsmart both the extraterrestrial threat and local Springfield hazards.
How to Play
Your objective in each level is to eliminate or collect a set number of specific itemsโsuch as covering up purple objects in the first stageโto force a boss fight. Use the D-pad (arrow keys) to move Bart. Use the A, B, and C buttons (mapped to standard keys like Z, X, and C) to jump, use your equipped item, and run. Press Start (Enter) to pause the game or access your inventory.
Tips
- Use your X-ray glasses: Buy the X-ray glasses as soon as you have enough coins to reveal which Springfield residents are actually aliens in disguise.
- Manage your items: You can only hold a limited number of items, so use your spray paint and cherry bombs wisely to solve puzzles.
- Jump on aliens: Bouncing on the heads of revealed Space Mutants is a great way to collect extra coins and health.
