Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!
It’s time to gear up for the summer games in Springfield! Gather up those participation ribbons and be prepared for the fix to be in from Fat Tony, as we journey through the wonderful world of “sports” with the residents of our pocket-sized Springfields!
Of course, as with all events, a questline comes with it to help move us through the ins and outs of the event…and unlock all of the prizes. As was mentioned on the rundown post this mini event is similar to the previous mini-events (like Homer’s Chiliad and the Fire Department before it), in that you’ve got to complete various tasks to unlock the prizes.
So let’s take a look at the questline to see just how to unlock all the fun Olympic inspired prizes and be the best darn participant you can be…
Before we get into the walkthrough there are a couple of things I want to point out…
1) You have to be at Level 20 AND have Quimby/Town Hall unlocked to see this event.
2) Ribbons (
and
3) Yes, in part 1 of Springfield Games you can send ALL Springfielders…because that’s the task at hand. You will not be able to send all Springfielders for each part.
And now on with the walkthrough….

Completed Unlocks the ability to Bet (like at the Dog Track) at the Go-Kart Track…
Once completed you’ll unlock the ability to bet at the Go-Kart Track. Once every 8hrs you can place your bet, just like you do at the Dog Track..
You’ll also see this popup when you’re done, which is new…
Your game will reload and open back up with the Prize Track gone. I think they started doing this to eliminate the issues with some characters still earning event currency…
You’ll have to tap on the Go-Kart Track to start this next part…
Go-Kart Racing
Fat Tony: Fixing children’s Go-Kart Races. This is almost as low as when we held that baby’s nose hostage for weeks. You there, you look like a smart lad. You’re going to throw this race in the third lap.
Martin: That’s cheating! I refuse. It’s man’s code of ethics that separates us from the animals.
Fat Tony: Do it or I’ll break your legs.
Martin: Caving on your principles out of fear is another thing that separates us from the animals.
Place a Bet on a Go-Kart Race- It’ll cost $5,000 to bet. And just like the dog track each one has different Odds…and they’ll change odds to racer each time you do it
Here’s a taste of the dialogue…
Fat Tony: I’m glad you came around to my way of thinking, kid.
Martin: I didn’t mean to use! I thought I was sure to win with trigonometry on my side. I guess math isn’t the steroid I thought it was.
Fat Tony: Sure, whatever helps you sleep at night. For me, it’s a white noise machine.
And that’s it! All there is to the main prize track for the Springfield Games!
I’ll be back later with a post all about pin collecting and Pin Collector Lisa.
