The Simpsons: Bart vs. the World is a licensed platforming game that was developed by Imagineering and is based off the cartoon The Simpsons. It can be seen as a sequel of sorts to Bart vs. the Space Mutants, sharing the same graphics, platforming physics, and developers. The story begins with Bart Simpson and his family going on a worldwide Krusty the Clown treasure hunt as a prize for winning Springfield's art contest. Unbeknownst to him, it's really a plan by Mr. Burns to kill off the Simpsons while they search for the treasure by getting his relatives in other countries to do it for him. Bart now has to fend off Mr. Burns's endless goons while looking for the prized Krusty the Clown merchandise with the help of his family.

This time, ktwo opts to complete the game as quickly as possible.
