In The Simpsons, The - Bart vs the World, players control Bart Simpson on a dramatic globe-trotting adventure. Bart wins a contest and gets to travel, but this is actually a scheme by Kang and Kodos to find a mysterious treasure. The gameplay is primarily side-scrolling platforming, where Bart must jump over obstacles, avoid or defeat enemies, and collect necessary items. Bart can use various items such as a camera to stun enemies or a slingshot for ranged attacks.
Levels are set in famous locations around the world like China, Egypt, Hollywood, and the North Pole, each with unique enemies, challenges, and distinct styles. Players need to find hidden items, solve small puzzles (e.g., finding specific items for a character to unlock a path), and participate in various mini-games to progress. The ultimate goal is to collect pieces of a mysterious photograph and confront the masterminds behind the plot.
