The Simpsons (Arcade)

While doing his totally usual routine of robbing a jewelry store, Smithers bumps into the Simpson family, causing one of the diamonds to fly into Maggie's mouth. Rather than just taking the jewel out of her mouth, Smithers and his bone-stupid henchmen (that obviously he's always had but you never see on the show) kidnap Maggie! The Simpsons must get her back.

Unused Palettes#

Watch on YouTube

The big goon bosses in Stage 3 have multiple unused palettes that are the same as the regular enemies, possibly meaning that they were going to be more common enemies.

Unused Music#

This track isn't available in the game's built-in sound test, but you can listen to it by loading the ROM in M1 and playing sound code 0xA9. It's possible this was meant to be for the Smithers boss fight, which reuses the Stage 3 boss theme in the actual game. Plus, every time this song loops, it starts to play a little bit faster than before.

Unused Sound#

The voice clip said by the first boss, Professor Werner von Brawn, but pitched up. This implies that the sound may have been intended to be recycled for another enemy.
