10 Video Game Levels You Didn't Realise Can Be Beaten In SECONDS

6. Kang And Kodos Strike Back - The Simpsons Hit And Run

Hit and Run is a beloved title that sees the cast of The Simpsons trying their own take on the GTA-style open city. What fans didn’t completely adore however was the final race of mission 6: Kang and Kodos Strike Back.

Here, you must beat the one-eyed aliens to the Duff Brewery which is particularly hard since they’ve crammed themselves into a Chase Sedan, one of the best vehicles in the game.

However, you can avoid the challenge to this as well as finish the race in about a minute when you realise that there is a second, quicker route to the brewery that Kang and Kodos aren’t aware of. Instead of following your opponents, who start in front of you, hang a left immediately and you can jump the broken bridge and follow the highway.

Even if you aren’t looking to beat the competition as fast as possible and simply want to clear this hard mission then this is certainly the way. Furthermore, due to hardware limitations, the game will only load chunks of the map at a time. Meaning, when you get far enough away from Kang and Kodos they’ll fall into the void as parts of Springfield despawn.

Wonder if the void in this game looks anything like that time Homer turned three-dimensional. Ah, good times.
