What is Virtual Bart?

Bart's reality goes virtual when he is strapped into Martin Prince's Virtual Reality experiment at the elementary school science fair. Each virtual reality program represents a stage in the game that Bart must play through in order to escape the machine before the programs crash. The game features three side‑scrolling platform stages where Bart becomes a pig, a dinosaur, and a baby, plus three rear‑view stages that include a water slide, a tomato‑throwing showdown, and a post‑apocalyptic motorcycle chase, all accessed via a chance‑driven wheel of misfortune.
