The Cola Caper is the tutorial mission of the game that is played in Level 1. It is very easy and straightforward, and the player must complete this mission before being allowed to start the main missions.

Plot[]

Homer finds some coins from the wasp camera that he just smashed (during the game's intro), and then a commercial featuring Krusty the Clown appears on the TV. He is advertising "new improved" Buzz Cola, an energy drink that is good for one's energy. After watching the commercial, Homer decides to get the cola and walks out of the living room drooling.

Homer goes outside and runs into his wife, Marge. Marge tells Homer that somebody ate all the desserts in the house, and demands him to go to to the store and collect some ice cream with miniature pies in it. Homer agrees to do so and drives over to the Kwik-E-Mart, where he collects the ice cream and Buzz Cola from Apu. He then returns home.

Krusty the Clown: Hey, hey! I'm endorsing a new cola, kids, and this one isn't poisonous to anybody!
Announcer: That we know of.
Krusty the Clown: New and improved Buzz Cola is made from only the finest sugars and waters. Plus, it has a special ingredient too hot for the FDA. It'll give you the "get up and go, you need to do all the pathetic stuff you had to do!" Try new improved Buzz Cola!
Homer Simpson: (tempted) Mmm, cola. Must get Buzz Cola. (walks out of view drooling)
