Simpsons Game Walkthrough: Episode 7- Day of the Dolphin

Day of the Dolphin

After completing Episode 6 you’ll be given the Helium Homer upgrade, but Homer isn’t in this episode, so you don’t get to play with it yet. You are also given a choice of three episodes to play after episode 6. If you are looking for this one on the bus map it is at the southernmost bus stop on the map.

“I tried to fight back, but all I could see were snouts and blowholes! Yeeeeaaaaaargggh!”

Malibu Stacy Seals: 4
Krusty Coupons: 7
Videogame Clichés: 1

Note: At any time during this episode, fall into the water and die to receive Videogame Cliché #14.

Crazed dolphins attack you as the level begins. There is no way to deactivate the water and since that is where the dolphins are coming from, you’re stuck with fighting them off by whatever means necessary. Immediately look to the left for a game booth called Tipsy Balls. Shoot the three targets inside it to get the first Krusty Coupon.

550x278
Fun for the whole family.

Switch to Lisa after you have claimed the collectible and have her use the orange life preservers next to the Tipsy Balls booth to jump on top of the booth and activate the Hand of Buddha found up there. Wait until a dolphin is on the dock close to the Paradise Aquarium billboard and hit it with a Power Flick to send it hurtling into the billboard. This will cause the billboard to fall so you can proceed.

100% tuna free!

Exit the Hand of Buddha and proceed up the ramp created by the billboard. Destroy the two aliens there and look just to the left at the top of the ramp, outside the building to find a Malibu Stacy Seal.

550x278
Dolphins and aliens. Wasn't there Star Trek movie about this? No, that was with whales…

Grab the collectible and switch back over to Bart. Look for the rope net on the outside left of the boathouse. Climb the net up, over to the left and back down again. Once he’s down, go around the corner of the boathouse and another Krusty Coupon will be sitting there waiting for you.

550x278
“This is the pier where dad got his Lynard Skynard mirror!”

Grab the coupon, move a little further along the building and drop down to the pier below. Two dolphins will pop out of the water in front of you. Kill them and then turn around to target the boat hanging over the water. Shooting it down allows Lisa to catch up to you where you can then move on to the next area.

550x163
These dolphins are freaky!

Switch to Lisa and move into the next set of booths and piers. Bounce up on the building on the left to access another Buddha. Activate the Hand of Buddha to repeat what you did earlier with the billboard, only this time there are three of them. Two of them have a shooting dolphin parked permanently in front of it, so it shouldn’t be difficult to take these down. With any luck, Bart is waiting just below you and will be surrounded by dolphins. This will put the dolphins in the vicinity of the third billboard so you can bring it down as well. When all the billboards have been knocked down the dolphins will stop spawning. Now you can pick up all three billboards and use them to create a bridge to the next pier in the upper right corner of the area.

550x163
It must be a sign.

Once the new bridge is in place, you can exit the Hand of Buddha and switch to Bart. Before crossing the new bridge, look for the Pop-N-Win booth near the Buddha. Pop the balloons inside it to “win” the next Krusty Coupon.

550x278
We rather have the Lynard Skynrd mirror.

Switch back to Lisa and cross the new bridge you’ve created. When you get to the other side look to your right and you’ll see another Buddha on top of a Tipsy Balls booth. As the dolphins start to appear a boss health meter appears at the top of the screen. Follow the pier around to the Buddha and activate the Hand of Buddha. The “boss” is actually the swinging ship. Hit the dolphins with the Power Flick near the ship as it swings by to damage it. It only takes three hits to bring down the ship.

550x163
This is known as an inanimate boss.

Exit the Buddha and go back the way you came. On your way, look down toward the old rusty pipe entrance. The entrance is closed at the moment, but next to it you will see a Malibu Stacy Seal.

550x275
Don’t fall in -- unless you still need the cliché!

Pick up the collectible and switch over to Bart. You may have a couple of aliens to deal with unless they were already taken care of while Lisa was grabbing her collectible. Stand to the right side facing the clam chowder billboard. The character on the billboard has a nipple ring that you can grapple to. That’s right; we said you could grapple on the guy’s nipple ring! Once you’re up there, turn to the right and jump up onto the wire and grapple across to the next platform. Turn left when you are over there and look at the floating platform furthest from you. You should see a Krusty Coupon out there that you can jump down and grapple across to. When you have it, grapple back to the platform where you will see a switch.

550x163
Let’s see how many times we can use the word “grapple!"

Activate the switch, which opens the lid on the rusty pipe that Lisa got her collectible from earlier. You can float down to the pipe from the switch. Meet Lisa down there and go ahead and jump in the pipe.

550x278
Looks like a poorly maintained transport pipe from Episode 6.

Believe it or not, you’ve just arrived at the final boss for this episode. There are still five more collectibles to get in here, so let’s gather them up before we finish this off. Switch to Lisa and jump off the left side of the stairs you start on. You’ll find a Malibu Stacy Seal sitting right there. Now go around to the other side of the stairs and down the hill to a big pink jellyfish. Jump onto the jellyfish and you’ll be bounced all the way up to the back of a whale where there is yet another Malibu Stacy Seal. That finishes the collectibles for Lisa for this episode, so switch back to Bart.

550x163
At least the whale isn’t upside down like the space shuttle was in Episode 2.

Go down to the same big pink jellyfish Lisa used and turn back to face the stairs you came down. Look up to the belly of the whale hanging above and you’ll see a target. Target it and hit it with the Sling Shot. Quickly jump up onto the jellyfish to be bounced up onto the whale. Now use the wind from the whale’s blowhole to float across to the other whale and pick up the Krusty Coupon. If you miss, the blowhole is timed, so you will have to shoot the target on the belly again before going back up.

550x163
“Floating from Blowholes." Sounds like a rock band.

Jump down off the whale and head back over to the big jellyfish again, only this time continue down the hill past it and look for the blowing clam and the net on the wall. Use the wind from the clam to float up to the net and then crawl to the left to find the Krusty Coupon on the ledge.

550x163
Seems like everything in this game has a blowhole.

Now go to the dolphin tank on the left side of the room (the left as you entered the room). On the front of the tank is a button you can activate that will seal the top of the tank. Dolphins will no longer come out of this tank, either. Climb the ladder up to the top of the tank, and then find another ladder there that will take you up to a ledge. From the ledge look across and you’ll see a rope net, another ledge, yet another rope net and finally a final ledge with a Krusty Coupon on it. Climb and jump your way across to get this last collectible in here.

550x163
Probably should have closed the dolphin tanks when we got here, eh?

It’s time to finish this evil fish off. Switch over to Lisa and go over and close the other dolphin tank. Use the ladder to climb up to the top of it. Find the other ladder when you get there and climb up to the ledge with the Buddha on it. Activate the Hand of Buddha and pick up the large purple jellyfish from the waterhole on the left. Drop the jellyfish into the waterhole in the middle. This will cause the jellyfish to become electrified. Switch back to Bart and run up by the waterhole that the jellyfish is in. Grab the RoboBart power up and aim at the target under the boss dolphin. Shoot the target and the boss will fall into the water underneath him.

550x163
The rest of this is painfully obvious, isn’t it?

Quickly switch back to Lisa and activate the Hand of Buddha. Pick up the electrified jellyfish and drop it in the water where the boss dolphin is. Accomplishing this will badly damage the boss. When the boss is hit, a few more dolphins are thrown out to fight with Bart, but for the most part you can work around them. Use this same procedure two more times and you will have defeated the boss dolphin and ended this very short episode.

“I hope you get caught in a six-pack holder!”

550x275
“They’ve foiled our plot! We must have revenge!”
