The Simpsons: Bart vs. the Space Mutants is an action game released for the Nintendo NES in 1991. Players control Bart Simpson as he attempts to foil an alien invasion by space mutants who are disguised as humans and attempting to take over Springfield.
The main objective involves exploring various levels to find and stop the space mutants by collecting specific items and using Bart’s slingshot to defeat enemies. The game features a moderate pace, combining platforming with puzzle-solving elements that require players to identify disguises and interact with the environment strategically.
A distinctive mechanic in the game is the need to recognize and collect certain objects that are invisible to the aliens but crucial for progression. This unusual idea blends action gameplay with a unique item-detection challenge, setting it apart from typical platformers of its time. The use of Bart's slingshot as a primary weapon also adds a characteristic touch, emphasizing the playful yet challenging nature of the game.
