One day, the Simpson clan is strolling through Springfield, when all of a sudden Homer bumps into Smithers, who is stealing a diamond from Springfield Jewelers for Mr. Burns. After dangling in the air for a few seconds, the diamond takes the place of baby Maggie’s pacifier, and Smithers kidnaps her. The rest of the family takes it upon themselves to rescue Maggie, fighting tons of mooks, Smithers, and Mr. Burns himself in the process.Such is the plot of this well received, licensed arcade beat 'em up released in March 1991 by Konami, based on the first season of The Simpsons.The gameplay engine is derived from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (another game by the same company). Up to four people can play, assuming the roles of Homer (who uses good old fisticuffs), Marge (who swings her vacuum cleaner), Bart (who swings his trademark skateboard) and Lisa (who whips enemies with her jump rope). Two players could perform team up attacks on enemies, a feature introduced in this game. In addition, the four playable Simpsons are voiced by their respective voice actors from the series, providing quips and general observations. Due to the fame of the show, the game can still be found here and there wherever arcade games still exist.Due to Acclaim's home console license for The Simpsons in the 8-bit and 16-bit eras, it was not ported to any of the major consoles of the era. However, it was ported to the Commodore 64 and as a DOS title, but due to obvious technical limitations, they couldn’t live up to their bigger brother. Thanks to MAME technology, the game can be emulated in all its original glory on modern computers. Outside of MAME, an online-capable port of the game was released as a downloadable title for Xbox Live Arcade and PlayStation Network in early February 2012, just ahead of the 500th episode of the series. Unfortunately, it's been delisted from both services. Later it was released in 2022 as a home arcade by Arcade 1Up, this release would also come bundled with The Simpsons Bowling.A game inspired by it, The Simpsons Arcade, was released by EA Games for the iPhone. This game had a different plot: Though Burns and Smithers are still the villains, they now have a scheme involving putting a chip in a donut and recruiting ten other recurring characters as bosses: Chief Wiggum, Mayor Quimby, the Squeaky Voiced Teen, Roger Meyers, Jr., the Bumblebee Man, Kent Brockman, Sideshow Mel, Krusty the Clown, Rainer Wolfcastle, and Rich Texan. Homer ends up bumping into Smithers as he is moving the donut, and, assuming it to be a normal donut, goes throughout six levels fighting the twelve members of the conspiracy to get it. Reception was decent, but it was criticized for having a name that might dupe people into thinking they’re buying this game. That's not to say they don't put nods to the original arcade though.For the platform game released by EA Games, go to The Simpsons Game. | |

| The Simpsons (Video Game) / int_113480b7 | comment |
Canon Foreigner: All the bad guys in the game were created for the game and never appeared on the show save four, Professor Werner von Brawn (the pro wrestler boss who's just really obscure), the drunk at Moe's (also really obscure), Smithers and Mr. Burns. Though the tall thug boss has a resemblance to reporter Dave Shutton from the early seasons. One might consider the boss of Dreamland Marge's bowling ball named "Homer" (it even scratches its butt). | |

The Cameo | |
| The Simpsons (Video Game) / int_1b65dfad | comment |
The Cameo: The rabbits from Matt Groening's Life in Hell comic strip, appearing in the pre-level bumpers and even as enemies (well, mooks dressed as them at least)! And as a gag, Marge's X-Ray Sparks animation reveal her to be a rabbit in disguise. If you look at a spritesheet, Marge's rabbit ears also show up occasionally. It's most noticeable when she throws something (her hair gets caught and nearly pulled off). Milhouse offers a hammer and Nelson a slingshot to whoever gets to them first, in Stage 2 (Krustyland) and Stage 5 (Springfield Butte). Also Patty and Selma, Abe, Terri and Sherri, Skinner, Martin, Otto, Howard (from the episode "Moaning Lisa") and even Sideshow Bob make small cameos throughout the game. The XBLA/PSN port catalogues all of the Simpsons universe cameos. | |

Adaptational Villainy | |
| The Simpsons (Video Game) / int_20f689e9 | comment |
Adaptational Villainy: Mr. Smithers, who robs a jewelry store for a mere diamond and attacks by throwing handfuls of bombs around with reckless abandon. This is due to the video game taking place in the early days of the show, before he received character development and he was only established to be Mr. Burns' right-hand man. The mobile game’s choice of recurring characters to use as bosses. While Wiggum, Quimby, Meyers, and Texan are all right at home since they are usually portrayed as antagonistic, the other choices are typically neutral in terms of conflicts. The biggest example is Bumblebee Man, who is the most morally decent of the bunch. | |

Funny Background Event | |
| The Simpsons (Video Game) / int_26eb6287 | comment |
Funny Background Event: When you pass by the Noiseland Video Arcade in the first scene, it has a sign in the window advertising... this game. Occasionally, if a player dies, when they fly in to respawn, they can smack face-first into a wall. This is most common with Lisa, as she flies horizontally the most before landing. At certain points, you can get a piece of fruit to fall from a tree by hitting the trunk. Keep hitting it, and eventually Bongo the rabbit (a character from Matt Groening's comic strip Life in Hell) will pop out of the branches holding a sign: "All gone! Beat it!" | |

Early Adaptation Weirdness | |
| The Simpsons (Video Game) / int_26fd153 | comment |
Early Adaptation Weirdness: The show was only in its second season when this was released, and all indications are that the team working on the game only had the first season and some pre-production and merchandising material to work from, so many aspects of the game are inconsistent with what has since been established in the cartoon. Take for example, Lisa, an extreme vegetarian since the season seven episode "Lisa the Vegetarian", exclaiming, "All right!" as she devours a health-regenerating Krusty Burger. She's also shown to be brattier, before she gained her more familiar characterization as the intelligent voice of reason. In one of the most infamous examples, Sideshow Bob cameos in the Springfield Butte, but since he'd only had one appearance beforehand, he doesn't speak or even attack the Simpsons. Today, he'd be the logical choice for an antagonist of this sort of game, but his villainy wouldn't be established until the end of the first season. The game's bosses all actually appeared in the show, but seeing as the show was only in its second season at the time of release, most players won't recognize them. Even longtime fans would be hard-pressed to remember what episode the wrestler at the end of Level 1 is from. Also, Smithers has blue hair (as he did in the early episodes). The whole game is quite out of character for Smithers, who is usually shown to do the right thing in spite of his devotion to Mr. Burns. In one episode he didn't even want Burns taking candy from a baby. He's unlikely to go along with kidnapping one! Barney has blond hair and wears a green shirt in the game just like he did during most of the first season. Bart is wearing a blue shirt (as shown in most merchandise of the time) instead of the signature red one he's well-known for, though he wears the red one in the intro. The change makes it easier for players to distinguish him from Lisa during the game. Lisa is listed as being 7 years old instead of 8. She would have a birthday not long after the game's release. Similarly, Homer and Marge's respective ages are listed as 35 and 34 instead of 36-40. Homer's hobby is listed as "Bowlin' a big one!"; he really only had an interest in bowling in two first season episodes, and he is otherwise not shown to be interested in sports (let alone bowling), with his job at the bowling alley being more an excuse to goof off. X's for eyes to indicate death would later be prohibited by the show's drawing guides and were only used once on the show as part of a dream in "Bart the General". | |

Force and Finesse | |
| The Simpsons (Video Game) / int_2f3668fa | comment |
Force and Finesse: Homer is the force while the rest of his family is the finesse. Homer simply uses his fists and feet to attack, while the rest of his family use some sort of weapon to achieve the same effect. Furthermore, the rest of the family has to add some technique to their blows to match Homer's kicks and punches. Bart and Marge have to noticeably get some "swing" on their weapons to match Homer's punches and Lisa has to spin her Jump Rope for a fair amount. | |

Sequential Boss: The Nuclear Plant stage consists of two boss fights in a row: Mr. Smithers and Mr. Burns, the latter having multiple stages before defeat. In the mobile game, it’s still the final level, but you’ll have to go through a lot of tough mooks before you can fight them- in between them, too. | |

Stock Sound Effects | |
| The Simpsons (Video Game) / int_48dfb7e4 | comment |
Stock Sound Effects: Bosses recycle several sound/voice clips. The bowling ball makes the same groan as the wrestler and the bear's early roars, and Mr. Burns says the same "Where do ya think YOU'RE goin'?" as the two suited men in stage 3. From the show itself, Homer's scream when electrocuted is taken directly from when he wakes up screaming from his Super Slugfest-induced Nightmare Sequence — when he and Bart are in the ring as characters from the game and he ends up being beaten and killed — from "Moaning Lisa". Mr. Burns' "Excellent." was also taken from when Homer agreed to become the plant's safety inspector in "Homer's Odyssey". | |

Improvised Weapon: Marge's vacuum and Bart's skateboard count, since they're the respective default weapons (but aren't typically designed for fighting). Grabbing a hammer or a slingshot is the reverse, but many of the other things you can pick up and throw at enemies are this trope. | |

Armor Is Useless | |

Armor Is Useless: Mr. Burns's mecha is seemingly made of a material that is very strong and hard to break but each Simpsons family member using their fist, or a weapon that looks ill equipped to fight the material the mecha is made of, can break through it just fine. Bonus points to Bart and Lisa as their combination attack sees them simply hold hands and scream and even this damages the material. | |

Our Ghosts Are Different: The Discount Cemetery level has some mooks disguised as ghosts as they drop from trees. At the end of the level, actual real ghosts arrive as a pair of mooks run to open a hidden passage under one of the gravestones. The family screams in terror and escape into the passageway before it shuts, though one of the mooks doesn't make it and apparently got scared to death. | |

Big Brother Instinct | |
| The Simpsons (Video Game) / int_69681e01 | comment |
Big Brother Instinct: This CAN be invoked depending who is played. If Marge is played then she can be considered a Mama Bear, and if Homer is played then he could be a Papa Wolf. However if Bart and/or Lisa are selected, they could be considered having this for their baby sister, Maggie. Unfortunately for Lisa, even she isn't immune to being in the business end of this trope. In one of the game's attract mode sequences, she and Bart are in the Springfield Butte level and Lisa gets caught by one of the fat thugs who begins shaking her. She isn't in his grasp for long as big brother Bart almost immediately saves her. Bart actually seemingly has this instinct much stronger than Lisa does towards Maggie, and presumably towards Lisa herself. Aside from the stated examples when the family sees Smithers getting away with a balloon if Bart says something he will say "Hey, man!" in a much angrier tone than how Lisa would say "That's my sister, mister!", where she sounds almost a little more negotiating. The actions afterwards of all the family are the same, however. | |

Adaptational Badass | |
| The Simpsons (Video Game) / int_736d791f | comment |
Adaptational Badass: The Simpsons themselves are all capable of fighting hundreds of Mooks as a family, despite none of them having demonstrated any combat capabilities at that point in the show's run. Mr. Burns' absolute lack of athleticism due to his age is often played for laughs in the show. Here, in his appearance as the game's Final Boss, he's fully capable of throwing down against four people at once in a Plutonium-powered Mini-Mecha armed with miniaturised Nuclear Bombs, among other weapons. There's also the mobile game where a good chunk of the supporting characters get to throw down with Homer, and some of them are actually quite tricky. Examples include Meyers using Itchy and Scratchy merchandise, Brockman using his microphone, and Texan using his guns to make the ceiling collapse and being able to summon herds of crazed bulls. | |

While not much of a feat for the children as Lisa isn't even double digit age, and while Marge is an adult she is very thin, but Homer is not only taller than the other adult in Marge, but notably obese, and they can shake him just as easily as they can Lisa. | |

Strong Flesh, Weak Steel: Sure, Mr. Burns' machine hits hard, but you can take it down with about as many punches/kicks/makeshift weapon strikes as you would a regular fleshy boss. In a variation however, Burns's machine has multiple forms; as evidenced by it going from legs to treads to a hovercraft skirt as each previous form of mobility is destroyed, then eventually its armour plating starts to break apart. Also inverted, as after you completely destroy Burns's machine, Burns himself only takes one hit to finish off. | |

Weak, but Skilled | |
| The Simpsons (Video Game) / int_9eb11fac | comment |
Weak, but Skilled: Lisa logically shouldn't be physically strong due to being the youngest playable character at a single digit age, but with the help of her jump rope she can hit just as hard as her father using his fists. When she gets the mallet she is shown visibly having a problem holding it up (though it doesn't really affect her movement while holding it) and she hits just as hard with it as anyone else in her family. | |

Cut Lex Luthor a Check: Burns is the richest man in Springfield. Can't he just buy that diamond? Sure, he's infamously cheap, but at some point between kidnapping a toddler, the hordes of mooks, and the giant robot, he really should have started asking if it was really worth all this. | |

Mr. Burns' absolute lack of athleticism due to his age is often played for laughs in the show.

Hope Spot: In the fifth level, Smithers stops over near Springfield Butte for a little rest only to be chased by a bear, throwing Maggie into an (oddly convenient) floatie, only seconds before the family arrive from Moe's secret elevator. After going through the level and beating the boss, the family spot Maggie floating past and jump in to grab her... only for Smithers to show up in a helicopter and nab her once again. If that wasn't bad enough, the stream leads right into a waterfall. | |

Color-Coded Multiplayer: The status displays of each player are uniquely colored depending on the character (Marge - red; Homer - blue; Bart - green; Lisa - orange). In the Japanese 4-Player version, the colors of Bart and Lisa's status displays are switched. In the 2-Player version, player 1's character select cursor is red while player 2's is blue. Also applies to the characters' clothing so players can easily distinguish one from another (Homer's white shirt, Marge's green dress, Bart's blue shirt, Lisa's red dress). | |

Combination Attack | |

Combination Attack: Any two family members can do a combination attack if they idle next to each other long enough. There are four types - Homer and Marge hold each other's ankles and quickly roll around the screen, Bart and Lisa link arms and wail to defeat foes (wider range but less speed than their parents' attacks), Homer lifts Bart or Lisa on his shoulders to attack from up there for extra damage, and Marge picks up either kid to throw them across the screen. They can also team up to use very heavy objects for an attack, such as picking up and throwing a police car. | |

Explosive Stupidity | |
| The Simpsons (Video Game) / int_ec9d3eb7 | comment |
Explosive Stupidity: How Smithers is defeated. Upon having his health knocked to zero, he stands up, unfurls his cape and does an Evil Laugh… only to realise seconds too late — complete with loud high-pitched scream — that all the cherry bombs he had stashed in said cape have been accidentally lit. | |

Comedic Underwear Exposure | |
| The Simpsons (Video Game) / int_f08f8f89 | comment |
Comedic Underwear Exposure: After the first boss attacks (usually after striking every Player Character), he'll make some kind of garbled, guttural moaning sound and his pants will drop, revealing pink sparkly briefs. | |

Sultry Belly Dancer: In Moe's Tavern, a group of belly dancers who look like palette swaps of Princess Kashmir are seen dancing on a stage to the sax playing of Bleeding Gums Murphy. | |

Unskilled, but Strong | |
| The Simpsons (Video Game) / int_f25b1ae6 | comment |
Unskilled, but Strong: Homer's fighting style can degrade to wild flailing. That said, he's strong enough to not need a weapon. | |

Underside Ride: After the Channel 6 stage boss is defeated, Mr. Smithers flees in the Krusty Toys helicopter. The Simpsons latch on to the bottom and ride off into Springfield Nuclear Power Plant. | |

Aside Comment: If left idle for too long, the characters will turn to the screen and say a line. Except Homer, he just yawns. When burned by an enemy, the characters will turn to the screen and say a line. | |

Complexity Addiction: Mr. Burns steals a gem he could likely just buy with ease; abducts Maggie rather than just take the gem back from her; and likely spends far more than the gem's worth on all those Mooks, weapons, etc., to try and stop the Simpsons from coming for her. | |

Weaponized Ball: A bowling ball (in bag), is waiting at the first boss. Homer puts a little wind-up into his throw if he takes it as well. There's also a billiard ball to throw in stage 4. | |

Brick Joke: In Krustyland (Level 2), you see a bear escape from its cage. Then in Springfield Butte (Level 5), you see (presumably) the same bear chase off Mr. Smithers.note You are led to believe said bear is also the stage boss, but it turns out to be a costumed mook once you defeat it. | |

Beauty Is Never Tarnished | |
| The Simpsons (Video Game) / int_fe614133 | comment |
Beauty Is Never Tarnished: While no character bleeds or shows injury, the facial expressions and reactions to situations of Marge and Lisa are more subdued than Homer and Bart's. This is notable when being shaken by the fat mooks. | |

Everything Trying to Kill You: A wrestler, a balloon, goons, a drunk, a bear (or rather a Mook in a bear costume), a giant bowling ball, a Kabuki Master... And those are just the bosses. | |
