It's now time to head to the mall, and the cheekiness - pun somewhat intended - of the animated series is in full swing.
Turbo Mall 2000
Aside from the old ladies and dogs from the streets, you'll also be dealing with security guards and falling bags of groceries. If there's a grocery here, it's obviously not here in-game. Some of the falling bags will contain foods that will pop up out and refill some of your health if you can get them into your mouth.
Enter the pet store. You've obviously picked up the bat at the beginning of the stage, but you might want to give the other one to your other character for just in case. Stewart will give you a pizza you can eat if you can hit him. Also, don't let the snakes peeking out of the cages bite you.
You'll eventually come across the humongous fish tank and take a dive. It's about to become the worst dive in the world, as the tank is full of piranhas, jellyfish and other aquatic menaces that want you dead. There's also an extra life at the end of the tank.
When you exit the pet store, you'll be dealing with more snakes that are hanging out in the trees in the background. You'll also see even more enemies: chain-wielding punks and...Earl. Yep, Todd's gangster friend is back, too, and he throws baseballs at you. Use your leg throw to get over and behind him, then whack him repeatedly with the bat.
There are also some pay phones that you can check for coins. Be sure to do that, since you'll need them for the vending machines more than ever.
Take the elevator (and enjoy the brief elevator muzak), then continue on until you reach the pogo sticks. At this point, you'll have ditched the baseball bats for these things. Squish the ants with the pogo sticks by jumping onto them. They squish pretty well, so you'll know you did it right when that happens. They can damage you, though, so be careful. You'll eventually ditch the pogo sticks before taking another elevator ride up to the next floor. From there, grab the bat and enter the hallway in the background.
The next section is auto-scrolling, and has you pushing Beavis in a shopping cart as he shoots everyone with a super soaker. This is much like the hospital gurney parts from the last stage, but you'll also see falling grocery bags and falling plants. Be sure to jump over the plants that are on the floor, too. The worst of the obstacles is the green security guard that follows you from behind, so you'll have to avoid him as you trek towards the arcade.
You can play some of the games in the arcade. Butt Fighter is playable in either one-player or two-player mode, but Spaceroid is two-player only. Be sure to check the change machines and games for coins, and refill your health at the vending machines if you need to.
You'll be riding around on pogo sticks again. Avoid the security guards, then impale the ants. At the end, you'll ditch the pogo sticks one more time and face Billy Bob. This time, you'll have the bats with you as soon as you start the next section.
Also, I thought Beavis and Butt-Head mooning us when searching vending machines was stupid. When they land on the ground with the pogo sticks, they start sagging again. Even better, you can see the side of Beavis's ass. How did this get past Nintendo?
Billy Bob will keep butt-slamming the ground, causing pots to fall from the top of the screen, and he will also swing the huge sausage in his hand at you. Seriously, it's a real sausage you can buy at the supermarket. I'm not sure if it's a giant kielbasa or anything, but I wish I was making this stuff up or making a phallic reference. Just avoid him and the falling objects as you keep on whacking him, and you should be fine.
