The game takes place in the episode "Itchy & Scratchy Land" and the mission is to save the theme park from the robots. The main character is Homer. The last level is limited to two minutes. To finish some missions in every level the player must control Bart, Marge or Lisa Simpson. Depending on how well the player handles levels they can be rewarded with gold, silver, or bronze medals. The level points can be obtained by hitting combos, killing enemies and rescuing citizens. Every level has some checkpoints where the player transports to if Homer dies. When the player reaches a checkpoint they can see the current points and how many bonus points they have. To increase Homer's energy the player can sometimes collect upgrades. The player gets help on how to play the game from Comic Book Guy.
