Despite its notorious difficulty, particularly in the opening level, it became a best-seller and is remembered for its ambitious integration of platforming and adventure elements. Notably, the game includes a clever mechanic where Bart can prank call Moe's Tavern, causing Moe to step outside—allowing players to spray paint his apron, a nod to the show's classic gags.
