The Bart Trilogy concludes with Escape From Camp Deadly! It's the first of the three games, as well as the first portable Simpsons title, but it's known for being difficult if you don't know what to do.
The game starts with Bart and Lisa heading to camp...only to find out it's run by Mr. Burns' nephew, Ironfist Burns. If the tired campers walking in the background aren't a dead giveaway, this is not going to be a good experience for either of them.
Level 1
The first level is a game of Capture the Flag. Team A is Bart Simpson. Team B is everyone else. You can see where this is going.
You can climb trees with the Control Pad. You'll need to climb one shortly after the start to collect the boomerangs from Lisa.
Whenever you defeat an enemy, wait for another enemy to appear and then kill that enemy. If no other enemies appear, continue. Doing otherwise will cause you to be constantly swarmed by enemies.
The dark-skinned enemies give you donuts for health. The HUD at the top of the screen shows up to nine, but you can carry more than that as indicated by a "+" symbol after the ninth donut. If you get hit, the game will briefly pause and the HUD will say "Eat my shorts." It gets slightly annoying after a while, especially when you don't see the hit coming."
The Boomerangs are a much better weapon that the spitwads that you start with. Instead of just stunning enemies, they outright get rid of them. Make sure the boomerang returns to you, since you want to conserve your five boomerangs. Whenever a boomerang is flying around, you're stuck hitting other enemies with your spitwads until it returns, so use that time to stun another enemy until you can destroy him.
The darker patches of land are water, and you definitely want to jump over those.
Avoid the bees at all costs, as the bees are instant death.
When you approach a tree that goes up to the ceiling and a pool of water that blocks your path, climb up it and you'll end up in Blindside Bill's Tree House. To beat Blindside Bill, jump over him and throw a boomerang in his back. After a few hits, he's gone. Don't forget to get the two donuts he drops after you beat him.
After beating him, jump over the hole in the floor and get the beekeeper's suit from Lisa. With this hat, you'll be invincible against the bees, but the other enemies can still get you and you won't be able to use your weapons while you're wearing it.
Drop down at the tree, then leap to the left and grab the Krusty head to get an extra life, being careful not to fall into the pool of water when you guide yourself back to the right. Use the beekeeper's suit to get the flag from behind the bees.
After a while, the beekeeper's suit will wear off and you'll be able to attack enemies again. But you'll be doing something far from that as you'll have to jump from one branch to another, taking long leaps to avoid being hit by the wildlife (such as the fish that leap in and out of the water) or falling into the water.
After you reach dry land from the jumping section, climb up the second tree to take on Rebound Rodney. Unlike Blindside Bill, Rodney is completely optional. To beat him, throw a boomerang into one of the upper corners and time your throw so it hits him from behind on the way back. If you hit him, you can get two more units of health from the donuts that he drops, so remember to get those if the boomerang connects.
The real reason why fighting Rebound Rodney and beating him is worth it, however, is what you get from Lisa afterward. After beating Rodney, jump over the hole in the floor and grab the uniform from Lisa's hand. You'll get the football uniform, which will make you invincible and allow you to plow through a whole bunch of enemies until it wears off. Force your way to the right, grab the third flag, and take care of all the enemies that show up after the football uniform wears off. Shoot boomerangs low when necessary, because sometimes enemy will crouch down to avoid the boomerangs.
There is a Krusty head at the top of one of the trees shortly after the third flag, so remember to climb up and get it. After that, go to the right and grab the last flag to end the first level.
Level 2
For the second section, you're in the cafeteria. You'll have to use the food you collect here as ammo to defeat enemies. Collect every food item you come across, and don't waste ammo. Be ready to duck underneath the knives and jump over the forks that the enemies throw at you.
The first food you'll be collecting are tofu burgers. The second will be broccoli. The third will be crabapples.
When you reach a trash can, you'll have to throw all the food you find into it. Every five food items you throw away gives you an extra donut for your health.
After the first trash can, jump on top of the boxes and grab the extra life at the top of the screen.
If you see a guy in white standing around onscreen, DO NOT throw food. According to the sign at the beginning of the section, food fights are not permitted, and if you throw it, you eat it. If these guy catch you throwing food, you'll be forced to eat the food.
After throwing all your broccoli away, climb up the pole and drop right from the top of it to grab the Krusty head at the top.
Be careful when fighting the enemies, as the enemies here will throw projectiles low and jump toward you in an attempt to trick you into wasting your ammo.
