Narrowly escaping the self-destruction of the mariachi's spaceship, you are unceremoniously dumped in an underground tunnel. Mr. Featherly will explain that you're on the banks of the river Styx, which is the passageway to hell. Harry Moleman nearby will tell you that Bosco's soul was on the last train to hell, so if you still want to save him you'll need to venture after him. Going up the ladder on the other side of the tunnel, you'll find yourself back on your street, although the bookstore has fallen underground and everything has shifted over, making Bosco's Inconvenience your new neighbor.

{{clue|Only dead people receive tokens, so you should find one and borrow theirs.}}

==Bring down Hell==

In Hell it's harder to get in to see Satan than you'd think. Jurgen at the reception desk and some of your other past nemeses working in the office area are no help at all. In the back of the main office, you'll find a door to a special area solely dedicated to Sam and Max and the miserable wretches they've contributed to sending to Hell. There are tons and tons of records here, but the most recent arrivals have their personal hells displayed up front with miniature dioramas. In the dioramas you will find souls such as Bosco's, Santa's, your car's and grandpa Stinky's. Also in this room is a meter rating the efficiency at which Hell is running. If you can free your friends' souls and send the efficiency plummeting, Satan will have no choice but to speak with you. Even when you free everyone's souls, you'll still need to win them from Satan, so an audience is mandatory.

In the theater diorama, you'll find Bosco naked up on a stage with his friends (cleverly disguised demons) all watching him from the audience. You need to distract the demons so Bosco isn't watched anymore. In the street diorama, you car has no juice anymore and drives through the city at a snail's pace. Work on both dioramas together to help each of them.

In the Santa's Workshop diorama, Santa is forced to recall a dangerous toy while being annoyed by three demon babies. He can't concentrate on his work while the babies are distracting him. Meanwhile, in the toy factory diorama, a worker elf is busily producing the Rex Skirmish Danger Hero action figure, but is going nowhere because Santa keeps sending it back. He wants to create the perfect toy and he's always fiddling with the toy to try and make it better. Help them out by getting rid of the babies and improving the toy.

{{InvisiClues|title=Toy production}}

{{clue|Note that whenever a baby exits Santa's Workshop, it comes right back in through the gift dispenser.}}

{{clue|A good way to get them out of there would be to send them wherever Santa sends the recalled toys.}}

In the cooking show diorama, the demon girl Stinky is running the show while grandpa Stinky is just her lowly apprentice. In Stinky's personal Hell, he's the understudy on a cooking show with an audience of rats. If you talk with the guest rats, you'll find they have foul mouths and Hugh Bliss is on the verge of shutting down the show due to the bad language. Stinky's only hope is for you to get the show canceled and get him out of there.

{{InvisiClues|title=You can't say that on television}}

{{clue|For this puzzle you'll need to enlist the aid of the most foul-mouthed character you've ever met.}}

{{clue|After you leave the cooking show diorama the first time, make sure to look in the drawer Harry Moleman left open.}}

Satan is willing to let your friends go, as long as Sam signs a contract with him. A bit too hastily, Sam signs the contract, in which he agrees to give his soul to Satan. Now that Sam's soul belongs to Satan, he ends up in his own personal Hell, just like the people he so recently freed.

{{InvisiClues|title=Out of the office}}

{{clue|If you look around the office, you'll find that there's a hole with a huge Max behind it on the back wall.}}

{{clue|Judging by the size of Max, you seem to be one of the dioramas in the Hell office back room.}}

==Bring down the board==

Outside, you'll find that Satan has his own bosses: the Soda Poppers. Ever since they got a taste of evil when they beat Brady Culture, they've been working to take over Hell and impose a new reign of efficiency and terror. You've been unwittingly helping them by messing with Hell's workings and even before that during other episodes. After firing Satan and thanking you for helping them get rid of him, the Soda Poppers go over their plan for demonic domination of the world before going off to each do their parts.

If Specs wins, however, he gets the machine's soul. Chippy's initial effort is a bit lackluster, but luckily he gets infinite do-overs.

==Car upgrades==

For this driving game you have no control over the car, as it's possessed. You can shoot though, and the goal of the game is to shoot demonic rats that were released from Hell before your car runs them over. The DeSoto will swerve around trying to run down the rats, and you have to quickly shoot the rats in the road and on the sidewalks before the cars gets them. You'll have 60 seconds to accomplish this feat, and every time you do, the next score you have to achieve is raised by ten rats. When you shoot a rat your score goes up by one, but it is decremented by one for every rat the DeSoto runs over.

*'''GOOOAAALLLL!!!''': Shoot the soccer ball that comes flying toward you and bounces on the street before you pass it.
