🧭 Narrative Premise and Core Structure
The game revolves around a fake global art contest hosted by Krusty the Clown, which is actually a trap set by Mr. Montgomery Burns to eliminate the Simpsons.
Burns blames Homer’s employment at the nuclear plant for years of financial losses, and devises a plan: send the family on a Worldwide Krusty Treasure Hunt, using distant relatives around the world to sabotage Bart.
Each region (China, North Pole, Egypt, Hollywood) is supervised by a Burns relative:

• Ramses Burns (Egypt)
• Eric von Burns (Hollywood)

NOTES
________
¹ The game blends two layers: reworked Platform-Adventure core levels with movement, item progression, and unlocks; and minigames spanning puzzles, Simpsons trivia, and reflex challenges. This hybrid design balances structural gameplay with standalone micro-experiences.
² At launch, Bart vs. the World received weak reviews due to awkward controls and uneven design. Still, it became a nostalgic favorite among Simpsons fans for its trivia, cameos, and quirky levels. Though flawed, it earned retro appeal through its mix of platforming, hidden content, and unlockables.
