What the critics said

• Entertainment Weekly wrote: "Falling asleep while doing his homework, Bart has to battle with the demons of his subconscious—imagining himself as, among others, a rampaging green Bartzilla and a caped Bartman. A surreal blast."

  — Entertainment Weekly

• Super Gamer reviewed the SNES version and gave a review score of 73%, writing: "It looks as good as the cartoon, but sadly playability is irritatingly tough and not as imaginative as the graphics."

  — Super Gamer, 1994

• Nintendo Power scored the SNES version 15/20, writing "the characters and situations in this adventure are very inventive. I like all of the things that Bart can do, but find him sometimes difficult to control."

  — Nintendo Power, 1992
