Anti Climax Boss is for bosses who are plot-relevant.

* AntiClimaxBoss: The second and third bosses (Abominable Snow-Burns and Ramses Burns) are both way easier than the first boss, Fu Manchu Burns.
* BreatherBoss: Ramses Burns is ridiculously easy. To beat him, you have to unravel his flying carpet by jumping and pulling a string (just causing Bart's sprite to touch the string "pulls" it). Only the very first jump is remotely difficult, as the string gets longer and easier to reach each time. In fact, once you've pulled it once, you don't have to do anything but stand there and jump, and Ramses' simple back and forth pattern will cause him to bring the string right to you.

* ScrappyMechanic: The controls in general. They're not quite as bad as often reported in that they ''do'' work right consistently, they're just unnecessarily peculiar. Like its predecessor, the game has the same control scheme where the same button is used for running and jumping, and so to take a running jump you have to hold the attack button and hit the jump button (which in this game, causes you to waste ammo every time you take a running jump). And Bart skids after taking a long jump, making precise jumps difficult[[note]]the trick is to turn Bart around so he's facing backwards as he lands - again, it works consistently but it takes a while to get the hang of, especially with the controls being so odd[[/note]]

* SequelDifficultyDrop: While it's still NintendoHard by any standards, the difficulty's a lot more reasonable than it was in ''Bart Vs. the Space Mutants''. This time around Bart gets five hitpoints instead of just two, power-ups are much more plentiful, and the levels (aside from a couple of the latter ones) aren't nearly as absurdly long as they were in that game

** Level 3-2 (Valley of the Kings): The second half of the first section is a long vertical shaft with a dozen rooms branching off from the sides. The shaft is just too wide to be crossed with a jump. There is a single, non-replenishable Bartman powerup at the bottom, in a spot where you can only reach it by falling on it from above. Maggie and the Krusty Sand Skulpture are in one of the rooms. Have fun searching.
