Today's Homer's workplace evaluation with Mr. Smithers... but what about his prized scorpion farm? There's only one solution: destroy Smithers' car so he can't get to work!

Start off by talking to Marge again to get the scoop. Only one person can help you: Lenny! Go to the Krusty Burger by the gas station to talk to Lenny. He'll inform you that Smithers was last seen near the Kwik-E-Mart. However, you're gonna need a bigger vehicle in order to wreck Smithers' car. Wonder if Barney still has the Plow King?

Go across the street and talk to Barney to buy the [[The Simpsons Hit & Run/Vehicles#Plow King|Plow King]]. It costs 150 coins. Get into your shiny new vehicle and drive to the Kwik-E-Mart to find Smithers.

With all of that out of the way, Homer can finally go to work and catch a nap. Drive to the power plant (you may want to use a pay phone so that you don't have to drive the Plow King all over), then enter Homer's workstation and hit the Action button to begin the mission.
 
Oh, there's a camera! How are you going to sleep with that thing? Sexy girls could be watching Homer on the internet! Go and destroy the power couplings to deactivate the camera.
 
You won't need a vehicle for this mission, as it is performed entirely on foot. Exit your workstation and destroy the 9 cameras:
 
# You'll find the first power coupling immediately as you exit your workstation.
# Take the elevator next to your workstation to get onto the scaffolding. There you'll find the next coupling.
# Keep moving and you'll come up to a platform moving up and down. Take a ride upward for another coupling.
# Jump down from the ledge and near the corner of the room, you'll find another coupling.
# Near #4, activate the moving platform to access this coupling.
# Continue along your path. This coupling is near the center of the room.
# After you find #6 there will be another moving platform. Activate it and ride over to this coupling.
# Go back across the gap and this coupling will be on the opposite side of #5.
# Keep following the path after #8, and the last coupling will be in the opposite corner of the room that #4 was.
 
Finally, you can get some sleep... Wait, the work day's over? D'OH!

Time to kick back and watch some teevee! What's this about strange black vans? Eh, it's probably nothing.
 
If you still have the Plow King at this point, you should go to a phone booth and call up the [[The Simpsons Hit & Run/Vehicles#Family Sedan|Family Sedan]] (or the [[The Simpsons Hit & Run/Vehicles#Electaurus|Electaurus]] if you have it), as this next mission will require some speed.
 
Drive to the Simpson house, go inside, and press the Action button to sit on the couch. You'll be treated to a cutscene of Homer watching the news. Springfielders are aware of the wasp cameras that are spying on the town, and Kent Brockman mentions something about strange black vans. Well what a coincidence, there's one spying on you now.
 
Go outside. You'll be instructed to investigate the black van, but don't walk up to it on foot or it'll speed away and leave you in the dust. Go right to your car, by the time you enter your vehicle the van will speed off, so follow it!
 
In chase missions, keep an eye on the bar on the top-left corner of your screen. If the bar shrinks, you're getting too far away from the vehicle. If it runs out completely you fail the mission, so make absolutely sure to keep the vehicle in sight. If you know the route, you can even drive ahead of the vehicle you're supposed to "chase" -- but if you drive too far ahead you will fail. It is a useful tactic in some of the harder chase missions, but you have to watch your speed or else you'll go too far ahead and fail the mission.
 
The black van will take two shortcuts:
 
* It will drive through the trailer park.
* It will drive through the barn and break the Krusty glass.
 
Follow the van and you'll end up at the Burns mansion... so Mr. Burns is behind all this? The plot thickens...

Homer tries to enlist Marge to help his cause, but Marge goes Jack Thompson and wants to prevent the shipment of the new Bonestorm game -- even if it means smashing the crap out of the delivery truck.
 
Get back in your vehicle and drive to the supermarket to meet Marge. The new Bonestorm game is shipping now, and Marge wants you to help her smash the Bonestorm truck and get the games to prevent them from warping any children with its bloops and bleeps.
 
You will be forced to use the [[The Simpsons Hit & Run/Vehicles#Canyonero|Canyonero]] for this mission with Marge driving. Fortunately for you, the Canyonero is a solid vehicle which can stand up to a lot of abuse. You'll start in the parking lot of the grocery store as the Bonestorm truck drives by.
 
In order to beat a mission like this, you'll have to hit the Bonestorm truck, and it will drop an item for you to collect. You don't need to hit it very hard, just hard enough for it to get jolted. Get ten games and you're done here. Drive on back to the Simpson residence to end the mission.

Homer has to race the same guy twice in one day! Beat Smithers to the Burns mansion.
 
This mission begins at the power plant. Talk to Carl in the parking lot to warn him of Burns' evil spying... wait a sec, Carl's drunk! That's no good. And there goes Smithers to warn Burns! Better chase him!
 
Get back into your vehicle immediately, as the race begins when you dismiss the mission screen. There are three shortcuts you can use to guarantee victory:
 
* Jump over the Tire Fire
* Jump over the Krusty Burger using the fire truck ladder
* Jump over the gas station near the Burns mansion
 
Smithers will take a variety of other shortcuts, but he's not very fast. For the curious, these are the shortcuts he takes:
 
* Field next to the barn
* Through the trailer park
* Krusty glass near the Simpson house
* Church parking lot
* Through the community center
 
After you win, talk to Burns and accuse him of spying... WHAT? They were only pizza vans? D'oh!
 
Congratulations, level 1 is complete! If you're going for 100%, go back to this level using Mission Select and get all the extras. If you want to get on with the storyline, then move on to [[The Simpsons Hit & Run/Level 2|Bart's level]].

[[Image:TSHNR L1BM Location.jpg|left|thumb|Talk to Cletus to begin this mission.]]
 
[[Image:TSHNR L1BM.jpg|left|thumb|Grab the tomacco harvest on foot to avoid getting a Hit and Run.]]
 
Talking to Cletus activates the bonus mission on this level. You can find Cletus near the trailer park, just after the big bridge.
 
Cletus wants you to get him some cardy-board tubes and collect the tomacco harvest. You have 2 minutes and 30 seconds to complete the entire mission from the second you enter your vehicle to the second you return to Cletus, so you will have to be quick. To make things worse, the level traffic seems to increase -- in terms of both vehicles AND pedestrians, so you will have to be careful to avoid getting a Hit and Run.
 
To begin, get the cardboard tubes. Drive back toward the bridge and collect the five tubes:
 
# Right before the big bridge, in a driveway
# Gas station near the Krusty Burger
# Behind the big tree near the first cemetery entrance
# Behind the other big tree near the other cemetery entrance (these are both on the left side of the road, so you may find it easier to get these two on the return trip)
# In the driveway next door to the Flanders residence
 
After you get the five cardboard tubes, drive to the tomacco field. It's located near the nuclear power plant. Once you arrive, GET OUT OF YOUR VEHICLE and use the Run button to collect the 12 tomacco plants. If you remain in your vehicle, you risk getting a Hit and Run from knocking down all the tomacco plants with your vehicle. On foot, there is no such danger (unless you kick them or something).
 
Quickly drive back to Cletus (jump over the tire fire if necessary) and this mission is complete. Your reward is Cletus's [[The Simpsons Hit & Run/Vehicles#Pickup Truck|Pickup Truck]], a vehicle that you will actually be forced to use in some future missions, whether you have it or not.
