This one is rare because it was only released for one system, as opposed to the variety of other Simpsons games. -------------------------------------------------------------------- 1.2 Story -------------------------------------------------------------------- FROM DR. MARVIN MONROE (the game manual): "'Bart's House of Weirdness' is a subconscious interpretation of reality as Bart would like it to be. It presents him with the opportunity to project the hero/conqueror role on his own persona, thereby regaling himself to the status of World Savior. In closing, I would like to point out that the elements found in this game are, in most cases, a social commentary of the state of our culture as seen through the eyes of a child of the Nuclear Age. You may wish to ask yourself, "What do the glowing rats in the basement symbolize in my relationship to the environment?" Or you may ask, "Is there a lesson to be learned from Bart's rooftop battles with evil squirrels and angry hornets?" I have no answer to these questions... Thank you Dr. Marvin Monroe, Phd.D." FROM ME: Bart gets sent to his room and he lets his imagination run wild. ==================================================================== ===== 2.0 BASICS =================================================== -------------------------------------------------------------------- 2.1 Game Start -------------------------------------------------------------------- After the game has loaded you may be asked for a password.

The window will also lead to 'Adventures in Krustyland', but only after you have beaten the other six stages. The left door leads to the 'Grave Danger in the Basement', and 'The Secret of the Attic' stages. The right door leads to the 'Space Mutant Madness', and 'Too Much T.V.' stages. IMPORTANT NOTES: If at any time you want to leave a stage or stage area, press Esc to return to Bart's Room. Remember, you will lose all of the items and points you got in the stage. Remember to SAVE every time you beat a stage. You don't want to start all over, do you? ==================================================================== ===== 3.0 WALKTHROUGH ============================================== NOTE: This walkthrough is based on the hard difficulty. If playing in normal you will have less ammo, but the enemies cause much less damage. Those are the only differences. -------------------------------------------------------------------- 3.1 I Wanna Go to the Movies -------------------------------------------------------------------- Objective: Find five coins to watch a movie at the theatre. Enemies: Mosquitoes, ants, geese, security cameras, hounds, security guards, Smithers -Screen 01- It's the front of the Simpsons' house. Just walk left, pick up the coin, and easily avoid the mosquitoes. -Screen 02- Flanders' house. Just do the same thing and avoid all of the mosquitoes. You will also find some burp balls to the left. -Screen 03- There's only one mosquito here, and some slingshot ammo that you don't need. Before going on, go back to 02 and pick up the burp balls, then come back to 03. Repeat this to get 99 shots. Now climb up the gate to Burns' Estate. -Screen 04- Shoot the laser in the center by shooting Up/Right diagonally. Walk through carefully to avoid the other lasers and water splashes, and get the water balloons. -Screen 05- Jump Up/Right immediately to avoid the goose, then run to the right to avoid the security camera. Pick up more water balloons along the way. -Screen 06- It's possible to scare both dogs away if you immediately start pressing Space Bar to shoot them. You can also jump over the first dog, then carefully jump over the second. After you've passed them, try to get the burp balls for more ammo. -Screen 07- This pesky guard can be avoided by walking straight through him (sometimes he'll still hit you), or by shooting his head four times. Anyway, grab the donut for some health then stand to the far left. Shoot Up/Right to hit the red light over the HOUNDS door. Four shots will open it up. -Screen 08- Grab the water balloons to start, then shoot the green vase on the fireplace to get your second coin. You can also shoot the gray box on the right for a spray paint, but I think the water balloons are a better secondary weapon. -Screen 09- This is probably the hardest part of this stage, and even then it's not too hard. Go right and jump at the piggy bank to get one coin. There is another coin, but it is OPTIONAL. You only need five coins, and there are two coins elsewhere that are easy to get. If you go for the second coin you run the risk of getting hit more times by Smithers. You can try to shoot Smithers, but he'll most likely still hit you before he runs away. I suggest just running through him (like the security guard), and running to the right. If you decide to shoot, use water balloons. Burns won't attack you. Jump onto the far right of the stool and jump straight up to get out of the mansion. -Screen 10- Just jump over these dogs and run. -Screen 11- Start shooting immediately to scare off both dogs, then grab the dart gun from the fountain. -Screen 12- Shoot the goose to scare it off, then grab the spray can if you like. Jump on the log, then jump left to get back to the street. -Screen 13- Avoid the ants and mosquitoes as best as you can and go left. -Screen 14- Avoid all the bugs and go left. -Screen 15- This is your final destination once you've acquired five coins. For now just avoid all the bugs and go left. -Screen 16- Avoid the bugs yet again and enter the mall. -Screen 17- Avoid the guard or shoot him, then grab the coin. -Screen 18- Once again, avoid the guard or shoot him, then go left. -Screen 19- Avoid the guard and the dog. You won't need the burp balls. -Screen 20- Shoot or avoid this guard, then grab the fifth coin! -Screen 17- Go to the right to EXIT. -Screen 16- Avoid everything and go right. -Screen 15- Stand under the ticket booth and jump straight up to buy Bart's ticket and finally watch the movie. If you beat 'I Wanna Go to the Movies' and 'The Quest for Maggie's Ball', you will get the Cool Hat, which is one of the cool items needed to beat the game. -------------------------------------------------------------------- 3.2 The Quest for Maggie's Ball -------------------------------------------------------------------- Objective: Find Maggie's ball. Enemies: Bees, squirrels, planes, dolls, balls, mowers, large spider, leaves, worms, ants, three-eyed fish (NOTE: Most of the enemies in this stage take very little health, so you can walk through them without too much risk. The worms and large spider are the exceptions.) -Screen 01- Walk straight right, through the bees. You will only get hit once. Pick up the rocks, but the burp balls are useless. Jump from one tree limb to the other to keep going. -Screen 02- Kill the two bees, but DO NOT get pushed to the left or you will go back to Screen 01. To swing across just wait for the ties to be on the right, then jump. You will catch the ties just as they approach. Now grab the darts and move on. -Screen 03- Go back and forth between 02 and 03 to get 99 darts. Then, grab the ties just like before and swing to the tree limb. Don't worry about the leaves, they only attack when the eyes are open. Don't worry about the water balloons, you won't need them. -Screen 04- Hold Right/Down and shoot the squirrel at the bottom three times to kill it. Quickly jump and grab the extra life and spray can, then climb up the ladder. -Screen 05- Climb up and walk across the tree limb to reach the roof. Just walk to the right and avoid the planes, dolls, balls, and mowers as best as you can. -Screen 06- Walk straight to the right. Don't bother shooting the bees or squirrel, but try and jump over the squirrel's nuts. Um, acorns... -Screen 07- Go to the right, grab the darts and jump onto the tree limb. Don't bother with the bees or bee hive. -Screen 08- Fall into the hole. Don't worry about the bees, or the donut. There are plenty of donuts later on. -Screen 09- Get the darts and spray can on the left, and fall in the hole. Ignore the other two items and the bees. -Screen 10- Fall straight down. -Screen 11- Ignore the squirrel and fall straight down. -Screen 12- Straight down again. -Screen 13- So, we went from the top of the trees to under the ground. Ah well, just go right. -Screen 14- Avoid the worms or use spray paint because they take a lot of health. Avoid the ant too and keep going right. -Screen 15- Go to the right and avoid everything, and climb down the ladder. Get the spray can if you need it. -Screen 16- Get the donut and shoot the spider to get more spray cans, then go down. -Screen 17- Now it's a toxic sewer. The next four screens are similar, so I'll go over the basics. The purple barrels will not sink, the yellow barrels will sink. To stay on a yellow barrel just jump up when it reaches the bottom, and when it rises back up you will *hopefully* land on it again. Oh, and if you fall you will not lose too much health and you will start back at Screen 17. So, go to the right. -Screen 18- Grab the donut and avoid the fish. Keep going between Screens 17 and 18 to keep getting donuts and refilling your health. Now stand on the right purple barrel and wait for it to rise up and the left yellow barrel to be low, then jump. Go to the right once again. -Screen 19- Avoid the fish again, then jump your way across the yellow barrels. Remember that the purple barrel won't sink. -Screen 20- Jump over these last three barrels to finally reach Maggie's ball and complete the stage. If you beat 'I Wanna Go to the Movies' and 'The Quest for Maggie's Ball', you will get the Cool Hat, which is one of the cool items needed to beat the game. -------------------------------------------------------------------- 3.3 Grave Danger in the Basement -------------------------------------------------------------------- Objective: Get the skeleton key. Enemies: Green rats, dust balls, hamsters, Ms. Botz, earthworm, skeletons (NOTE: It might be best to complete 'The Quest for Maggie's Ball' or 'The Secret of the Attic' before this level to stock up on spray cans. Otherwise the skeletons at the end will be much harder to beat.) -Screen 01- Jump over the rat and onto the bucket. Stand on the left edge of the bucket and jump straight up to reach the darts and to shoot that gray box for a spray can. You can go on to Screen 02 and come back to keep getting darts until you have 99. -Screen 02- Follow the rat and jump over the bucket. You may get hit by the dust balls, but try to get hit only once. To get the extra life you have to get hit by an enemy, but I suggest not getting it. Do not get the water balloon either. Trust me, you want to keep the spray cans. -Screen 03- Ah, the laundry room. Quickly walk to the right and grab the donut and just run. You may get hit once, but it's no big deal. -Screen 04- Go to the right and jump over the rats. The slingshot ammo is only for a slingshot, so if you have one grab it. -Screen 05- Move to the right to avoid the falling jars, then shoot Ms. Botz. If you still have the dart gun it will only take five hits. She will run away and leave a spray can. -Screen 06- Just go straight to the right and jump over the bucket. You will get hit by something, but try to get hit only ONCE. -Screen 07- Walk in and wait between the falling drops, then jump into the hole when the earthworm is not blocking the left side. -Screen 08- A crypt... In the Simpsons' basement? Anyway, immediately hold Enter and Space Bar to use the spray cans. Kill the first skeleton and let go, then press them again to kill the other skeleton. Once they are both dead just jump over the tombstone and go to the right. -Screen 09- Use some more spray cans to kill these two skeletons, then jump onto the tombstone. Remember to JUMP to the right because there is a hole directly under the tombstone. Jump over the next hole and keep going. -Screen 10- Use some spray cans to kill off these two skeletons, then jump over the open grave to reach the skeleton key and beat the stage. If you beat 'Grave Danger in the Basement' and 'The Secret of the Attic', you will get the Cool Shades, which is one of the cool items needed to beat the game. -------------------------------------------------------------------- 3.4 The Secret of the Attic -------------------------------------------------------------------- Objective: Get the gold key. Enemies: Bees, bats, little spiders, big spider -Screen 01- Just run through the two bees and ignore the burp balls and darts. They are useless. Shoot the gray box next to the chest to get a spray can. -Screen 02- Run straight through and get the donut and slingshot. You might get hit again, but only once. -Screen 03- This screen has a spray can and darts. Now I suggest going back and forth between 02 and 03 and keep collecting spray cans and slingshot ammo. Go for 99 of each. Also remember to get that donut in 02 if you're low on health. Anyway, kill the bee in here then jump on the couch. Get on the pillows and jump to the left until you're on the stack of newspapers. Stand on the left edge and jump up to land on the moose, then jump onto the boxes and jump up. -Screen 04- Stand to the far left and shoot some rocks (slingshot) up at an angle to the right. Kill all four bats. If you get pushed to the right remember to IMMEDIATELY go back left. It's possible to fall between the beams. Once that is done, wait for the nail on the first beam to be down and jump on it, then do the same with the next two beams. Climb up the ladder. Oh, I suggest you don't go for the donut and slingshot ammo. You'll just fall or get hit. -Screen 05- There will be four more bats, so kill them the same as before. DO NOT touch the left side of the screen, or you will fall back to Screen 04. Now jump onto the beam and make your way across to the ladder on the other side. Mind the nails. The extra life and water balloon are optional, in my opinion. It's up to you if you want to try. -Screen 06- Just fall straight down. There is no need to kill the bats, or get the spray can. You should have plenty of spray cans from earlier. -Screen 07- Make sure to have at least 50 rocks by the time you get here. You'll need them all to defeat the giant spider up ahead. The Simpsons have a frickin' big attic... Anyway, there are four bats and a donut in here. You don't have to kill the bats, or get the donut. Grab it if you're REALLY low on health. -Screen 08- Just run straight to the right, avoiding the bees and little spiders. You'll get the spray can along the way, if you need it. -Screen 09- In here you'll find a big spider and her bunch of eggs. First get the donut and keep coming back in to get more donuts and fill up your health. Forget about getting the extra life. Now it's time to kill the spider. The spider goes up if you get too close, so stand near the center of the room and aim your rocks up at an angle. Once you find the right spot, stand there and shoot as quickly as you can. To kill off the eggs and little spiders just unleash some spray paint every time an egg flies out. If you beat 'Grave Danger in the Basement' and 'The Secret of the Attic', you will get the Cool Shades, which is one of the cool items needed to beat the game. -------------------------------------------------------------------- 3.5 Space Mutant Madness -------------------------------------------------------------------- Objective: Find the cook book. Enemies: Train mutant, space mutants, sewer mutants, robots (NOTE: Usually you don't need the cool items to beat a stage, but this time I highly recommend getting the Cool Hat. The hat will prevent damage from the robots.) -Screen 01- Walk near the railroad but don't cross it. A train mutant will come from the top of the screen, so let it pass then pick up the mutant gun. This gun is specially made to kill space mutants. -Screen 02- You'll need about 20 mutant gun shots, so as soon as you enter 02 just stand still. The space mutant will hit you and make you go back to 01. Quickly grab another 10 shots now while the train mutant can't hurt you. The reason for this that the space mutant takes less health than the train mutant, so it's a small sacrifice. Now that you have twenty shots kill the space mutant using exactly THREE shots, no more. Go left and kill the other space mutant that appears, then shoot the gray box on the right to get some spray cans. Jump over the sewer hole. -Screen 03- Shoot the space mutants with exactly three shots each, then get the donut and go to the left. -Screen 04- If you have the Cool Hat, the robot's lasers won't cause any damage. So, shoot the space mutant then use your spray can to kill the robot. Shoot the other space mutant and grab the ammo. -Screen 05- Hey, it's Moe's Tavern. Anyway, to shoot the sewer mutant it only takes TWO shots. Shoot it as it runs away. Jump over the sewer and kill the space mutant, then get the ammo. -Screen 06- Go back to 05 to get more ammo, and keep going between 05 and 06 until you get 99 ammo. Once you've done that, quickly kill the sewer mutant and jump over to kill the space mutant. Grab the spray cans if you can. -Screen 07- Kill the three space mutants and keep going. -Screen 08- Kill two more mutants and keep going. Get the ammo, though you obviously shouldn't need it by now. -Screen 09- Shoot the two space mutants and the robot, all with your mutant gun. You do have plenty of ammo after all. Keep going left. -Screen 10- That space ship looks familiar... Kill the two space mutants and jump up to get the extra life. Go to the left and get the cook book to finish the stage. If you beat 'Space Mutant Madness' and 'Too Much T.V.', you will get the Cool Shoes, which is one of the cool items needed to beat the game. -------------------------------------------------------------------- 3.6 Too Much T.V. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Objective: Escape from Itchy and Scratchy. Enemies: Itchy and Scratchy (NOTE: I'll tell you right now, the best way to beat this stage is to memorize what is on each screen and the best way to avoid it. Remember that pressing Esc will prevent the loss of lives.) -Screen 01- You can't kill anything, so just go straight to the right. Jump over any red bombs and avoid as much as you can. -Screen 02- Wait for the ice cream bomb to blow up, then get the donut. Go back and forth between Screens 01 and 02 and keep getting donuts. Make sure your health is full before going on. -Screen 03- Run for it! Jump over any red bombs and wait for the right moment to run. -Screen 04- The worst thing here is the falling weights. Wait for one to fall then keep running. -Screen 05- Look out for the weights, falling bombs, pie, and the hole. Just wait for the bombs to fall then immediately run for it. -Screen 06- Jump onto the first stool on the left and get to the right by walking across the counter. Make sure to get the extra life. -Screen 07- Run past Scratchy and just run! Look out for Itchy's arms. -Screen 08- Avoid all the football bombs and ignore any items. As always, run for it! -Screen 09- Avoid Itchy's punts and go to the right. Jump at the picture of Itchy and Scratchy to finish the stage. If you beat 'Space Mutant Madness' and 'Too Much T.V.', you will get the Cool Shoes, which is one of the cool items needed to beat the game. -------------------------------------------------------------------- 3.7 Adventures in Krustyland -------------------------------------------------------------------- Objective: Save Krusty the Clown! Enemies: Centipede, ants, Sideshow Bob -Screen 01- Shoot the three boards blocking the entrance to Krusty's Jungle Land, then go in. -Screen 02- Jump across the logs and get the large burp ball on the other side. This is a special weapon needed to beat Sideshow Bob, so do not shoot any of them. Now, to get up the waterfall stand on the logs, in the center of the waterfall. Once you're in the center just keep tapping the jump button. -Screen 03- Jump to the left log immediately or you'll fall back down to Screen 02. To get to the top of this screen you have to go from left to right and right to left, jumping across the logs. To go up you have to be on a left log that is fairly high, then jump to a middle log, but you can't reach the top of the screen! Jump straight up from the middle log. -Screen 04- Keep jumping straight up! Keep jumping until you're jumping pretty high over the top of the waterfall, then jump to the left and land on that rocky spot to get the big burp ball. Now time a jump to the right so you'll land on a log just as it appears, then quickly jump to the rocky area on the right and keep going. -Screen 05- Jump and get the burp ball as you get the vine. Jump onto the alligator's back, but not when it's underwater or has it's mouth open. Jump to the right. -Screen 06- You'll land on another alligator, so quickly jump and grab the next vine. Wait for the alligators to go down and come up, then land on the next one and jump to the right. -Screen 07- Another alligator. Quickly grab the next vine and jump off on the rocky area, and keep going. -Screen 08- Get ALL of the big burp balls. Here is the order you should get them in: __ _____ ____ _2_ _1_ _3_ _4_ After you get the fourth one, fall to the left. -Screen 09- Get all of these big burp balls as well. Here is the order: |_4_ _2_ ______3__ _5_ 1___ ___ After getting them all fall straight down. -Screen 10- Get the one big burp ball here to have a grand total of 13 burp balls. If you don't have 13 burp balls, press Esc to start over because you can't beat the stage with less than 13. Go to the right if you're set. -Screen 11- Don't shoot the centipede, just jump over and keep going. -Screen 12- Finally, Sideshow Bob himself! Ignore the ants, and don't worry about his coconuts either since they don't cause a lot of damage. The one thing to avoid is getting near him because he has a kick attack that does cause a lot of damage. To easily finish him just aim up with the gun and hit Sideshow Bob in the head or chest area. You must hit Bob with ALL 13 big burp balls, or he will not die and you will have to start over. Once he falls walk to the right. -Screen 13- Walk to the right and avoid any ants. Jump at the lock to get an extra life and save Krusty. Enjoy the ending! When you enter your name now you'll have a cool skateboard next to your name as proof that you beat the game. My final score: SUBSANE.........10250 Thanks for playing another great Simpsons game! ==================================================================== ===== 4.0 CODES & SECRETS ========================================== There aren't any codes, just a couple of little secrets. If you keep punching the Sideshow Bob punching bag, you'll get to see a photo of Marge shaving her arm pit. Disturbing, yet typical of Bart. If you get killed, press Esc right away to go back to Bart's Room without losing a life. But, any lives, weapons, and items you got will be also be lost. Remember that if you have the Cool Hat, the robots in 'Space Mutant Madness' can't hurt you. Many of the levels featured in this game were created based on the short cartoons from the Tracey Ullman Show. It wasn't until Simpsons Arcade that game developers used the sitcom for ideas. This was the only Simpsons video game to prominently feature the famous space mutants of the Simpsons early years. Sideshow Bob, arguably Bart's greatest enemy, was only featured in three video games: Bart's House of Weirdness (the final boss), Bart vs. the Space Mutants (level 3 boss), and as a cameo character in The Simpsons Arcade. ==================================================================== ===== 5.0 LEGAL / MISC. ============================================ -------------------------------------------------------------------- 5.1 Version History -------------------------------------------------------------------- January 11, 2005: Version 1.2 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Updated the controls and added some new secrets.
