Goons And Aliens
Strangetown is a very strange place, any thing can happen and any thing can go wrong... But if your sim has become a superhero or has a handy water pistol these problems get be sorted! Theme Tune: Aliens
 * Aliens

Before the frankie fussili level begins you will have your first encounter with an alien who is Emperor Xizzle. He can be defeated by using a water pistol, after that you may recievce phone calls at random times to inform you of alien actvitity and its up to you to stop them. Sometimes the alien minions will take over as themselves. Emperor Xizzle's minions are named Burple,Dripple and Keeble. Distressed customers can also ask for your help if they have been kidnapped by aliens. But be warned you can stop aliens but you can also cause them to invade the whole of strangetown as a result of your time traveling if you choose to do so! The two ways to defeat aliens are to either squirt them with your water pistol or attack them as the ratticator. Your sim is also at risk from the aliens for if they spot you they will chase after you and if you stay in the desert too long you will get abducted. Theme Tune: The Goons
 * Jimmy the Neck

You will have your first encounter with Jimmy the neck in the Frankie fussili level. The Concierge will inform you if Jimmy the neck is "In Town". If you ignore Jimmy's presence he will steal money from you account. Jimmy the neck will sometimes kidnapp and hold customers ransom, you will have to pay him or lose your friendship of the kidnapped friend. The longer you take to defeat Jimmy the more friends he will "invite" over Tommy the Toe, Reginald the Wrist, Freddie the Face and Norman the Nose. You can defeat him and his friends as the ratticator. (You cannot defeat him with water pistols) If Jimmy spots you in superhero mode he will escape on a helicopter if your sim is in normal mode he will scare you sim and make them pass out. Theme Tune: The Goons
 * Crime Spree Bob

Crime Spree Bob will appear from the Frankie Fusilli level onwards. You will recieve a phone call if he has broken into the hotel. Like Jimmy the neck Bob will steal money and fuel rods from the hotel. He will also bring friends along to help him Arson Andy, Larceny Larry and Vandal Randall. Like Jimmy again Bob will make your sim pass out if they are in human mode and he will escape in a trolly if in hero mode. Bob can only be defeated by the raticatior.

SUSPECTED EASTER EGG: Crime Spree Bob may have been based on the simpsons' Side Show Bob as they are simlar in name and appearence. Theme Tune: Heavy Metal (Speed Metal when fighting them in the final battle)
 * Robots

Robots are the most dangerous of the Goons. They will appear mainly in the Optimum Alfred level. There are two types of robot in the game, white robots (PAL-8000) (that don't do too much damage) and Evil robots. The evil robots come in three colours, red(EEP-5000, green(POW-6000 and blue(BAM-7000, they can be identified by their glowing eyes. In the final showdown you will have to face Optimum Alfred, although lacking the glowing eyes Optimum Alfred appears to be an evil robot, even though his picture thumnail looks more like a coloured white robot. Robots can attack using guns, if your sim is in normal mode they will pass out after being shot. If the sim is in superhero mode their sanity level will drop after being shot. Strangely robots are NOT affected by the water pistol, they can only be defeated by the ratticator. Unlike Servos these robots will NOT help your sim, unless after their defeat you become friends with Optimum Alfred.

SUSPECTED EASTER EGG: Optimum Alfred may have been based on Optimus Prime from the transformers series for they are simlar in colour and name.

Theme Tune: N/A (The ghost will make high pitch ghostly laughing noises when you are in the same room as it)
 * Ghosts

The appearance of the ghost is quite rare but still notable. If you purchase the 'Ghost Painting' from Johnny's shop and place it the hotel there is a chance that the cartoon-like ghost depicted in the painting will haunt the hotel. If the painting is placed in one of the guest rooms, the ghost will only haunt the room it's painting has been placed in.If the painting is in the managers suite, the ghost will haunt the lobby and if it goes undisturbed it will begin to move around town. Unlike the other goons and aliens, the ghost doesn't do much damage. He will attempt to scare the hotel guests and your sims sanity will slowly decrease. You can temporarily remove the ghost from a certain room by using the vacuum cleaner but he will return within an hour; the only way you can be completely rid of the ghost is to remove the painting from the hotel. The Ratticator's 'moves' will have no affect in the ghost because when approaching the ghost nothing will show up to interact with. You are able to unlock concept art of the ghost.
