SlimKirby plays The Simpsons: Hit and Run - Part 4 of 22


With everything in Level 1 out of the way, it's time to take on Level 2!

The Level 1 collector cards are as follows:

Home Made Football: The football Homer abandoned to work on the magic bat.

Crab Juice: The drink Homer chooses over soda.

Insanity Pepper: The pepper Homer eats as fuel for the journey to find his soul mate.

Spinemelter 2000: The dream cliner Homer got from his long-lost Brother Herb before driving his automobile brand out of business.

Parchment: The sacred parchment of the Stonecutters that Homer used as a bib and hanky.

Carbon Rod: The carbon rod that beat out Homer to become employee of the month.

Mr. Sparkle Box: The mascot for a Japanese cleaning project that was really a combination of a light bulb and a fish.

Level 2



With that out of the way, it's time for the next level, where you play as Bart in a different area of Springfield.

Talk to Milhouse to start the mission. Be sure to jump up the Jebediah Sprinfield head to reach a collector card, and don't forget to kick the head off. The nearby catapult is a level gag, and the Honor Roller will also be here. The Honor Roller has below average speed, acceleration and toughness, but it has perfect handling and is slightly faster than the Family Sedan - the trademark Simpsons car - from Level 1. You'll be using it for most, if not all, of the missions in this level.

If a building has steps, chances are there will probably be a wasp camera there. 

When you talk to Milhouse, you'll find out that Principal Skinner is looking for everyone who skipped school and expelling them. 

Mission 1: Detention Deficit Disorder


Mission: Avoid Principal Skinner! Driver to the Try-N-Save before time runs out!

Why does Principal Skinner look so glum in these mission briefings?

Get in the Honor Roller and get to the Try-N-Save in one minute. On the way there, you'll come in contact with Principal Skinner, who wants to catch Bart and expel him from school. This is the first of the "stay away from this person" missions, in which there is a gauge with a bed bar in it on the upper-left corner. You want this gauge to be completely empty, as this means that you got away from the person in question. Thankfully, with the use of some shortcuts, avoiding Skinner is easy. When you make it to the Try-N-Save, talk to Jimbo. He will brag about getting the last copy of the new Bonestorm game for next to nothing after "a crazy lady destroyed all the rest." 

Across from the Try-N-Save is a level gag. The little red car at the Try-N-Save is another level gag.

The Department of Motor Vehicles is home to one of the level gags in the game (the camera and Hans Moleman), and you can also buy alternate outfits for Bart here.

To start the second mission, drive to Herman's Military Antiques and talk to Kearney. He will tell you that illegal fireworks are all the rage now, which gives Bart the idea of jumping in on this dangerous trend.

Mission 2: Weapons of Mass Delinquency


Mission: Collect fireworks from around Springfield before time runs out! Avoid Chief Wiggum!

Get into a vehicle and drive to Moe's. When you get there, the timer will stop. Talk to Otto and collect the fireworks, then talk to Moe inside Moe's Tavern and collect the fireworks that show up there. The slot machine, the mugs of Flaming Homer on the bar and the Love Tester are all level gags. From here, quickly get to Springfield Town Hall. Talk to Snake when you get there for even more fireworks to pick up, then quickly drive to the police station and talk to Ralph for even more fireworks to collect. Ralph will tell you that his father Chief Wiggum will put you in jail. Get in your vehicle, then hit the freeway and speed across the gap that is under construction to lose Chief Wiggum and complete the mission. From here, drive to the Googolplex and talk to Comic Book Guy. This starts the next mission.

One of the collector cards in on a roof with a stairway leading up. Over here is two wasp cameras as well as the "Springfield Elementary Milk" level gag. There is also a wasp camera near a downed power line, complete with crackling electricity.

The Fat Tony's Construction cement truck is also a level gag.

The gold dumpster with "El Barto" is a level gag. Also nearby - in different directions - are a wasp camera and a collector card.

The failed monorail is near the Googolplex, and it is the hidden vehicle for Level 2. While it has great toughness, it does not have good speed or handling. Nearby is another building where you can find two wasp cameras on the rooftop.

Gil is in the Googolplex area as well, and you can buy some of the cars from him.

Mission 3: Vox Nerduli


Mission: Race the Nerd to the Java Server.

In this mission, you'll be driving Comic Book Guy's car to the Java Server and racing against the Nerd to get there first. When you make it there first, Comic Book Guy will tell you that the new Bonestorm game has sold out and that Professor Frink has bought up all of the remaining copies.

From here, drive to the stadium to start the next mission. Talk to Professor Frink when you get there.
