Episode 31
There have been many Simpsons games over the years, but Bart Vs the Space Mutants was the first! The controls are a bit awkward, but the programmers did a great job of integrating many characters and locations from the popular TV show, and really brought the world of Springfield to life!
Unlike the games I've covered for the channel so far, The Simpsons was developed by an American company! So how did they make this classic piece of retro gaming history? In today's episode, we'll find out! Then we'll dive deep into the game where we'll learn:
* How to beat EVERY level!
* Where to find all of the HIDDEN goals!
* What to do with ALL of the game's many ITEMS, and where to find them!
* Secret SHORTCUTS to get past difficult areas!
* How to find TONS of hidden 1-UPs!
* The secret to earning UNLIMITED EXTRA LIVES!
* How to defeat ALL of the game's challenging BOSSES!
* An easy strategy for navigating the confusing POWER PLANT MAZE... AND MORE!
Thanks for watching!

I never thought I would live to see the day someone makes this game make sense, and look easy to boot. What a time to be alive.
I agree !!
Moon pies
Yes!
That was my gripe with the game, and this playthrough just highlights it - it's not intuitive. I had the same issue with the Addams Family NES game, the actions and items just didn't make sense.
i was always able to make it to the end as a kid but the nuke plant almost messed me up til i was an adult lol
Wait... The end of this game isn't rage quitting on level 1?
Lol I literally never seen level 2 till now and this was one of the NES games i played the most
My dad rented this at least 20 times for me. It took 17 weekends to beat level 1. I tried 3 more times and got to the museum a few times, but my platforming and damage control skills weren't good enough and I gave up after half a years worth of weekends indoors. Lol good times!
Never made it to level two
This game is happy end. :)
haha, I know, right?
Thank you, magical talking dog, but this is the first time I've had serious doubt about my ability to beat a video game on this channel. After years of trying as a kid, I'm pretty sure I'd fail getting pat level 3 over and over again.
My 1st and last console and game combo my parents ever bought me. Never got to beat this damn game. Watching you breeze through, fills my nostalgic memory! Keep it up dude
Why is TH-cam recommending this now?
Idk but I missed this one
This's both super calming, and ultra NES levels of anxiety at the same time. I was cringing in my seat worse than Ninja Gaiden, wowzers.
I recognize many of these games from my youth and in general I have no interest in going back to beat them. That said, I find your combination of brief history/context at the beginning of your videos along with a casual commentary playthrough to be very nice to watch. Its interesting to learn about the history of these games and I like that you don't care if you get hit or make a mistake as you play. Very chill channel.
This game certainly looked the part and was on most consoles and home computers around in 1992. I played the Amiga version, and just wish I could have seen more of the game beyond the first level! Thanks for the video - finally I can see something beyond the first stage!
I owned this game and played it relentlessly for years. On a good day the farthest I could get was the carnival. This one’s up there with Battletoads for difficulty! Another great upload.
Its crazy how this channel has blown up in such a short amount of time
I owned this game, mastered the first level, but it seemed like after that the levels were just super hard platforming. Not like the first level at all.
I know the mall is the second level with that hard ass platforming.
This game was hard and quit as a kid
How did it take me so long to find this channel. This is awesome!
You should do a video on Zombies Ate My Neighbors since it's being rereleased on modern consoles!
“We’ve beaten”??? You beat and I sat back and enjoyed!😋
Speaking of "A boy and his blob" I'd love for someone to explain to me how TF to play that game lol
ive seen both a walkthru and a speed run of that game and i still cant figure it out lol
Its definitely on my list!
@@UCanBeatVideoGames other 2 ninja gaiden games and Fester's Quest also!
This takes me back so hard back with Bartmania was still growing. This game came out when I was still 7 years old on April 25, 1991 saw in in many video rental stores. It was also the year that many say started the Golden Age of the Simpsons when season 3 aired that fall on Sep 19, 1991 I had just turned 8 the same age of Lisa, now I am Homers age in the new seasons ouch were has time gone?
Whats the next game you will do? We need more! You have the best channel now.
Man this game brings backs so many memories
You make even the most difficult game look super fun! Huge fan of your channel! Great work!
Remember me and my cousins played this a lot but could never wrap it. Lol level 4 made me cry and question video games and life in general
I like this game as a kid but it was just frustrating with the slippery controls. It has a lot of special touches to it more than I thought there were. You do a excellent job explaining the secrets, your a very good speaker, making it easy to understand. I would love for you to do G I Joes Real American Hero one of my favorite games as a kid.
These videos are great... can't wait to see you tackle Battle Toads
As stupid hard as this game was, I continued to rent it periodically.
I usually made it pretty far into the game but never beat it.
I did not appreciate that the Bart character didn't have an outline, because it was kind of hard to figure out what the hell you were looking at sometimes.
I owned this game as a kid, I was lucky to get to level 3 before throwing the controller out the window.
I rented this game so many times, but I don't remember if I ever made it past the second level. I definitely had a love/hate thing with this game.
I always loved this game as a kid. It's so bizarre, but I enjoyed that, because it required imagination (I suppose). That last level was always such a slog though. Always loved the minigames from the carnival level. Thanks for covering this one!
I'm wearing a Disenchantment shirt while watching this.🙂 That's a show on Netflix that Matt Groening also made & Futurama.😎
I honestly don't think my friends and I ever even saw Level 2 back in the day!! xD
Whoa.
I’ve been playing this all wrong. It might actually be fun. Maybe I’ll see the 2nd stage before quitting.
Good job sir I the Simpsons game for the PS2 a few yrs back that wasn't easy either lol
What I seriously like about this production... From the viewer's perspective it appears you're playing and narrating in real time. My logical brain tries to convince me that the only sane way to really do this is via save-states between levels and narrate once the playthrough is done.
Top-notch YouTubing, easiest sub of my week so far. Thanks for satisfying at long-standing curiosity, this game was a true enigma to childhood me.
I'm surprised I beat this game as a kid. But I had plenty of problems at the funhouse level 3 with the door puzzle game and hovering at the airflow pipes. Usually lost 8 lives at that shit.
You missed 1 secret in the area previous to the dinosaur fight.
In the mud part where you jump over the squeletons, there us a volcano that give you some letters tha count as coins.
Thank you I never got past lvl 2 now ima play and beat it today
You're doing a great job on these videos. I hope you keep getting more subscribers.
Thanks Jeff!!
Would be awesome to see an ultimate guide on Yo!Noid,although i'm pretty much the only one who like this game
remember playing the c64 version of this at a friends house. had no idea what the fuck to do but it looked cool as hell back then.
You missed the secret where if you use the specs and take off bootmans hat, it’ll be another two letter white cross.
I had a hard time beating the first level. I think I rented it multiple times before I figured out you have to spray paint the garbage cans and flower pots for a couple seconds before they changed color.
Okay, as someone who kept getting up to the long necked dinosaur and could never figure out what to do, I am no irrationally angry with the world...I'm going to play a Dynasty Warriors type game to work out this frustration.
As a kid loving the Simpsons and having an NES this game was unforgiving. It definitely wasn't meant for kids.
This is the last new nintendo game I ever got back in spring of 91. I got Tubro Grafx-16 that summer.
Some of the most try hard NES tiles from my youth. All three Simpson’s and games were defeated as a kid including the game boy titles.
Awesome videos!! This is one I really need to watch
I must have hired this game 20 times and still never managed to get past the first level.
This is the most difficult cryptic game
Wow this game is very cryptic!
I always managed to make it to the 4th level and die every time. That level is so hard. I didn't know how to get all those extra hidden 1-ups in levels 1, 2, and 3.
Those really help, level 4 is insanely hard!
@@UCanBeatVideoGames I still own the cartridge after 30 years so now I can hopefully beat it.
omg so many secrets and tricks!!!. as i kid i hated this game. now i see its amazing.
I wasn't aware of those trash can secrets in level 2
I have ingrained a sense of self-hatred from when I was 6-8 years old and couldn't once beat this game (or even get close)
Theres only one NES game Im half decent at and its SMB1, any chance you will cover this game.
You make it look so easy btw.
I'll definitely cover SMB1! Its such an important game that I was thinking I might make it a milestone episode, like maybe number 50. Definitely will get to it, though!
@@UCanBeatVideoGames Awesome I look forward to seeing it. :)
I want more more more! Lol thank you very much for doing guides and secrets
I'm not stopping anytime soon! Thank you!!
@@UCanBeatVideoGames good thank you
I loved this game thank you so much for doing it :)
As an 8 year old this game was literally impossible. So much cryptic nonsense and ridiculously undefined platforms. Even as a very capable adult gamer (without using a guide) this is still a horse shit game. Every kid in the 90s just wanted a Simpsons game that was a platformer like Adventure Island or Mario. Just give me Bart, his skateboard in spots, and a straight forward platformer with some bosses. I know so many kids that had this game that never got past the first stage. There could have even been a sequel in the likes of Mario 2 utilizing the whole Simpsons family with their own strengths and weaknesses. Like seriously, with an IP The Simpsons making great and memorable games should have been a slam dunk. But instead we got these cryptic terds. Ok, I'm done. Thanks for all your great videos man, keep up the great work!
Great vid new sub 👍🏾
how the hell was i supposed to figure out this stuff at 9 yrs old...gonna have to buy it and beat it...do you play on emulator or real nes
My parents rented this game from the video store for me in 5th Grade when I had the chicken pox. I played it for three straight days and didn't get very far. Let's blame the chicken pox.
I wish we could get a revamped Simpsons Cartoon Studio
looks like that n64 hasnt seen some tlc and play in a while :O
Nerver made ot past the museum as a kid. Idk how the hell i made it there because I did not know the skip at the mall! Jumping on the rotating lolipops i can feel the controller breaking rage just thinking about it.
I Played this so much... and never got far; lol
I actually managed to beat this game with no external help, on real hardware. I did have to draw a map of the absolute maze that is the last level, oof.
Crosses, in a North American NES game? The Nintendo Ninjas (or the North American equivalent ) arent gonna like that one...they may be a few decades late though. I never knew that about the magic garbage cans. Crazy, its gotta be for a family member as it looked as if all the last letters were the same (W I think, or at least most of them wee ending in W)
How convoluted can a children's video game be?
LOL my childhood hahaha
I wish they'd end The Simpsons because it is anything but funny lately.
This game was sooo.... (insert adjective).
I never made it past first level. With this, maybe I should give it a try again?
I don't think I ever made it past the first Principal Skinner...
Ghawd Dhamnit...
This was ultimately difficult as a young child...
Can't remember if there was anything with the infamous Game Geanie for it, or not...
Why wasn't this game called Jumpin' on Trashcans!
Has he done lion king for genesis?
One of the most popular games? I didn't know anyone that had this.
You're like the Bob Ross of video games, and not just because of the soothing voice.
Making this game look fun, and even playable is definitely artistry. I might even say this is your masterpiece, so far. = )
Good stuff as always, my friend.
Patman qc already deemed himself the bob Ross of video games as he has it at the beginning of every video.
I feel that!
@@one7decimal2eight that's not really a thing you get to decide for yourself.
It's cos he has a pube head
Poignant
These Simpson games were the ones I always wanted as a kid but never could afford to buy, after watching this video I am glad I never did as I would have rage quit .
There was no way possible to beat this game without a guide. Forget beat, passing level 1 is a miracle
the only good Simpson's game in the 90's was the arcade beat'em up,then later hit and run and the Simpson's game on Xbox 360
I'm like one of the 8 people who enjoyed the Genesis version of Bart's Nightmare. At least the Bartman and Itchy and Scratchy levels
I'm not sure why it took so long for a channel like this to become a thing but I am so happy it did. This is the channel I and I think many others have been waiting for. Once the TH-cam algorithm figures this out this channel is gonna blow up ,and rightfully so. Keep churning them out with great quality my man.
The most random game I've ever seen. How is anyone supposed to know how to complete any of these levels.
It was impossible as a kid. Especially when renting it without a manual.
Strategy guides were big sellers back then. You actually needed them to know how to beat certain games lol.
Back in the day, video game magazines would have strategy guides for games like this. You just had to buy it or borrow it from someone who had it. I bought and still have a bunch of video game magazine treasury-type books with a guide for this, TMNT 2, Castlevania 3, etc
@@youisiaint kids these days don't realize how easy they got it....
@@akaBoG no idea how easy!
Watching this channel is like my new Saturday morning cartoons.
Good call
Love that! Thank you!!
I agree, prefect blend of nostalgia and education on classic stuff we grew up with!
Nice.
Yeah, i look forward to Saturdays at 7am (los Angeles). Settle down with coffee and donuts and watch these on the big screen
I hated these cryptic NES games as a kid. They were designed to just sell strategy guides.
"So here we're going to jump on this trashcan 14 times". lol
This is so much nostalgia! This game is so hard for me and my friend that when I finally finished it when he wasn't around he didn't believe me and I had to finish it again in front of him 😂
Apparently I’m not the only one who had the experience of beating it and not being believed.
Thankfully I was able to convince my friend after describing the ending in detail.
Reminds me of me and my friend. He was so good at it. A genius I thought. I was real bad. Interesting game. The memories!
This game used to piss Me off so damn bad as a child. Took forever to beat it
Thanks, William! I feel that for sure. As a kid, I don't think I ever got past the mall
I know it that. The mall aint no joke jumping over that quick sand or wet cement i guess 😂. Had me flipping out with a lot of curse words behind it. Quietly though so my parents couldn't hear me.
I never beat the game. It was too damn hard.
for real real
Same. I didn't beat this game until I was like 11, and I was only able to do it twice.
So Bart collects radioactive uranium isotope rods with his bare hands without dying, but he has a hard time dealing with freshly laid concrete? Good stuff!
You can't pick and choose your strength and weaknesses.
He's a Simpson, radiation is like mother's milk to him.
He'll die in a few months lol
Ummmmm., bartman can pick them up. That's not bart at all... two wayyyyy different people bro... That's like putting Clark Kent against superman, or... idk, Bruce Wayne vs batman. There's just no comparison between the two.
Logic don't exist when it comes to video games.
14:35 This is where most people rage quit. I'm surprised how much effort was put into what is almost universally reviled as a typical rushed licensed game.
This game was so hard for me as a kid.. And I'm ashamed to say I have only beat it with the Game Genie..
No shame there, this game was made for Game Genie!
What cheats do the game genie do? Level skip? I beat it one time without it but sure as hell would have liked to skip pass the mall.
@@retiredsnowbunnyhunterx5106 I used the invincibility, cut the timer off and super jump. I couldn't beat the mall unless I had the super jump code..
@@terryindachat7296 oh ok gotcha! Yeah you do have to long jumps on those small ass platforms.
I I actually Have beaten it with out the game Genie & TMNT 1 too as well. But like wizards and warriors & other games Have not.
This entire game is cryptic b.s. No wonder I remember taking it back to the video store early when I was younger. What 12 year old would know to jump on garbage cans x amount of times or 90% of the other stuff in this game. Thank you for the video because it's the only time I've ever seen anything beyond Level 1
I did. I found out that jumping once gave me something so I kept doing it till it wouldn't anymore. I was only a 10 at the time.
say word!
Imagine "completing" and knowing what to do in LEVEL 1 ...as a 5 year old lmao. No wonder i havent played this game since. Great channel!
@Antonio Richardson same. I thought other parts of the first level was somehow level 2 😭😭😭
I knew you could spray-paint some things, I thought it was a fun little feature for Bart... I had no clue that was the goal of the level. Guess I never bothered reading the dialogue.
I got a little farther in Bart vs the World, almost beat Virtual Bart, did beat Bart's Nightmare, never played Bartman or Krusty's Funhouse... am I missing any?
I think I remember beating level three once as a child and then I died almost immediately in the museum level.
I would only beat the first level, and lose on second pretty quick
I don't have to imagine that hard. I think I beat this game when I was like 8 or 9. No game genie, I swear. And internet wasn't a thing yet.
I remember begging my mom for this game.
It kicked my ass.
I feel that! As a kid I don't think I ever got past the mall!
Now we are on the Home stretch. I look and you are missing the r from Homer, well done sir.
I hated this game as a kid. Expectations were high especially since the Simpsons arcade game was already released
Sad thing is visually and controls-wise there's a solid package there. It just needed way better direction
I asked my parents for this because I thought it was the arcade game, I was super disappointed at the time but the game quickly became one of my favorite nes games, even with the crazy difficulty at the end hah
This seems like one of those games that if you didn't know how to get the extra hidden lives and coins, or a walkthrough to tell you what to do on level 1... you'd never beat it
Trial and error. I eventually managed to complete this one years ago, but others I struggled with. I think it was dependent on what games you owned and could invest the most time into. Or traded with friends for.
Oh man, this game used to kill me back in the day. I wanted to like it so much, but I never got past a few certain points in the day. Thanks for the pro-level strategy!
The highlight of my saturday, keep churning out those hits my dude. This game used to bust my chops so hard when i was a kid.
Thanks Joseph! I don't think I ever passed the Mall as a kid
@@UCanBeatVideoGames same thing i would always get stuck at the first platforming section. bart vs the world was much easier i think i ended up beating it the first time i rented it.
@@UCanBeatVideoGames Yeah that mall aint no joke! I beat the whole game one time as a kid. Once you get pass the mall it get some easy but still hard.
@@josephrhodes5025 that was SNES right?
@@michaeldove339 snes was barts nightmare that game was really fun but still far from easy
The bad endings if Bart lose we’re hilarious. If you lost on the last level it was two robot Homers as the ultimate destroyer
2:08: I know what you are thinking, and YES, that guy starring in "They Live" IS none other then late pro wrestling legend, and icon of trash talking and ass kicking, "Rowdy" Roddy Piper!
OMG it totally is!
'I have come here to chew bubblegum and kick a**... and I'm all out of bubblegum.'
and the guy he fights with in the alley does the voice of the president on rick and morty
@@UCanBeatVideoGames Don't forget Keith "Captain Anderson" David is also in "They Live!"
@@endykun Funny he sounded and looked more like Julius from Saints Row.
I like how you have your dog as part of the show. That's a nice looking pupper.
What? I thought the dog was narrating? He even has a headset on and turned on the console!
@@DrCrabnuts i mean, he could be. He is a good boy.
Game is hard as hell. I managed to beat it one time. Aint bother attempting it again. But you made it look easy. Well done!
I quit this game as a kid..it was nonsense hard
It is not that hard. I beat it as a kid. It took me a year because of some of the insanely hard jumps in the museum level, after that it is smooth sailing.
@@LUCKO2022 ...took you a year???? And you dont call thar hard??? I was like 13 yrs old and other things to do...like watch Batman animated series. Lol
@@LUCKO2022 The game itself isnt that hard but one level that gave me a hard time was the mall. Once i passed that it was some easy to beat it. Once i beat it just didnt want go back an do that mall part anymore when i was a kid. 😂 i accomplished what i wanted an beat it just not gone go back an do it again.
I was about to request this game.
Like: Roger Rabit and Cool World.
@Tashiro Sato
Already know that, so??
Do you have thing for humans meeting cartoons
@@haileyshannon7548 hmm no...
Newer played this one but my parents got me the sequel “vs the world” and man was it hard for an eight years old boy.
Hopefully you’ll get to the sequel someday
Either was, great video as always 👍
I owned both "vs the World" had a couple super tedious levels especially the North Pole stages. Both had some difficult platforming. The Hollywood area at the end had some hard levels too.
