To Learn who is and isn't he's not making this story up. a Mutant, use the X-Ray specs (described in the next section). How does he do it? By jumping on the head of the people whose bodies have been taken over by Mutants. This forces the Mutants out of the bodies they've been controlling. They then leave behind proof of their existance that Bart must pick up before it disappears. Each time he gets one, a letter in the name of one of the Simpsons appears under their picture in the Status Screen. When their name is completely spelled out, that family member helps Bart battle the arch-enemy waiting for him at the end of the level.

Then press START and Bart will look through the glasses and be able to tell which people have been taken over by the Mutants.
