Wondering if you should spend donuts on Sideshow Mel? Well before you hit that confirm button, lets break down the Pros and Cons of adding Sideshow Mel to your Springfield.
Character: Sideshow Mel
Donut Price: 140
Pros:
-Comes with Krustylu Studios
-Comes with a quest line
-Earns 50% more on tasks than regular characters
-Sideshow Mel has tasks in both Springfield and Krustyland
Cons:
-You’ll need to purchase the cannon for an additional 20 donuts in order for all of Sideshow Mel’s task to be unlocked.

I’m a fairly new player and your site has been very helpful in deciding which donut items to purchase, so I want to thank you for that :). I have a question about Mel here – when I go to purchase him and Krustylu Studios it says “every 5 hours earns 150” and nothing about Mel earning 50% more than the free characters. Is this a mistake in the menu, or did he earn premium in the past and no longer does? I love him but I’m trying to save my donuts for character/building combos that earn extra with tasks.
The menu doesn’t always indicate the increase in pay rate, but mel in fact earns at a premium rate 🙂
Thanks so much! Off to add Mel to my Springfield 🙂
Is Sideshow Mel voiced?
Yes
Yay – thanks! 🙂
There is also additional quests for the Mutant from the drive in if you have the studio
That will be with The mutants post. This is an older one. 😉
