Overview and Gameplay
Bart enters a Krusty-sponsored global treasure contest that turns into a trap orchestrated by Mr. Burns. Across regions like China, the North Pole, Egypt, and Hollywood, the player guides Bart through platforming stages, mini-games, and boss encounters while collecting rare Krusty items needed to progress. Each area mixes action levels with puzzle-style challenges and single-screen games that break up the platforming flow.

- Firecracker shots used to hit enemies and clear obstacles
- Limited collectible-based progression tied to Krusty items hidden in stages

- Mini-games including puzzles, trivia, and timing-based challenges between action stages
