newfiebangaa plays The Simpsons: Bart and the Beanstalk - Part 2 of 2

This is probably the hardest second half of a game I've seen since Karate Kid.

Level 3

After beating the Mr. Burns cloud, Bart comes across the door to the giant castle. Bart will come foot-to-face with a giant Marge, who invites him in for a snack but tells him not to touch the bag of gold, the magic harp and the goose that lays the golden eggs. Obviously, he's going to nab them.

Move out of the way immediately when the level starts so you don't get impaled by a sewing needle.

The beetles are replaced by mice, and the mice will jump forward.

Watch out for the tacks, as well as the right sides of the rat traps. Thankfully, the left side of the traps act as springboards.

Wait for the candles to un-light themselves before jumping from one candle to another.

The gold egg makes you invincible for a few seconds...but those few seconds don't feel long enough.

When you make it to the end, you'll head to the second section, where you're in a vat-sized bowl of soup. Apparently this is the soup do jour that Giant Marge warned us about. You'll want to jump from meatball to meatball, taking care not to be around the big air bubbles when they pop. You also want to keep from taking too much time on the meatball platforms, as some of them can sink when you stand on them. You'll also see the salt shaker. Avoid that as well as the salt cubes that drop down from it when it shakes.

The third section takes place in the dark...somewhat. You can see where you're going, but the greenish-black backgrounds are where you don't exactly want to be. If you stand in those areas, your health will slowly go down, and if you stand in those areas long enough, you'll eventually run out of health and the Giant will grab you.

Some of the small platforms will crumble against your weight when you land on them, so you'll want to be nimble with those platforms.

At one point, you'll drop down to a fork in the road. Go left to get the harp and recover a good amount of your health.

You'll find the goose that lays the golden eggs at the end. The goose will also give you some of your health back.

Level 4

Bart runs away with the treasures, but Giant Homer has caught wind of his exploits and has decided to chase after him.

Believe it or not, this is a mirror image of Level 2 down to the traps. The only difference is that you're going to the left and the screen autoscrolls. If you're two far to the right, the giant will grab you resulting in instant death.

The second section is very similar to Level 1. You'll be parachuting down the beanstalk, and if you're too close to the top of the screen, the giant will still be able to grab you, resulting in instant death. The coins won't be able to refill your health, so you have to take as few hits as possible from the birds that are flying around. When you reach the bottom, go left and grab the axe! You've won!
