Description
After the previous level "Enter the Cheatrix" is finished, three more levels open up at the Simpsons house backyard. These can be taken in any order but, following the story, this is the next level.
Plot
Kang and Kodos had invaded Springfield and used a laser to cause dolphins to attack humans. They have taken over the Squidport, where Bart and Lisa free Captain McAllister, who was attached to a post by the dolphins. He gets in his boat and heads to a hatch while Bart and Lisa make their way across the pier beating dolphins. When they enter, Lisa uses the Hand of Buddha to make a bridge dropping billboards on the water so they can get past a boathouse. Then, she uses the Buddha's Hand power flick to throw the dolphins to a big ship and make it fall to the water so Bart and Lisa can jump on it and get to another pier. They enter a wooden tunnel and get to a big fast spinning octopus-shaped wheel (which makes Bart and Lisa fall if they approach it), where a door that leads to the pipe is locked. When they defeat all the dolphins, the door opens. Bart and Lisa see King Snorky, the dolphin king, kidnap the Captain and jump into the pipe so they jump on the Captain's boat to get to it. Now they are inside the dolphins giant cave, full of shells, oysters, starfishes and big pools and aquariums. King Snorky is on the top of an oyster above an aquarium. Lots of dolphins come from the three aquariums, two of which can be closed to reduce the number of dolphins. Bart can use his slingshot to shoot at the oyster and make King Snorky fall to the water, but he inmediately gets up again. To defeat him, Lisa uses the Buddha's hand to make a way up some rocks to another meditation point using giant trampoline jellyfishes. When she gets to that meditation point, she uses the Budha's Hand again to place an electric eel inside King Snorky's aquarium. Now when Bart shoots at the oyster, King Snorky falls to the water and dies. Captain McAllister then thanks Bart and Lisa while Kang and Kodos look them from their spaceship, eating egg rolls.

Clichés
Comic Book Guy's video game clichés
- Can't Swim: to get this cliché, you have to jump into the water. "Don't you know that you never learn to swim after the sequel?"
Trivia
- This level is based on the "Treehouse of Horror XI" segment "Night of the Dolphin".
- In the PS2 version, the Squidport is much smaller, and fewer tasks have to be done. In the Xbox version, the Squidport has more piers and more stuff. Bart and Lisa have to do different things in order to get to the hatch in this version, using all of their powers and stepping in other platforms.
