Sideshow Mel worthwhile?

You mean Sideshow Mel? He's got a few tasks as part of Krusty's quest-line, plus his own side-quest. Nothing spectacular, but it's still something.

I already had the studios, though. He's a good character, with nice tasks, plus he can go to Krustyland if you want. Up to you if that's worth 140 donuts. His basic quest line is a bit disappointing, though.

I should point out that he gets an extra 30 minute (visual) task if you also have the cannon. :)
  • I don't have sideshow Mel but I think he's definitely worth having. I almost had enough donuts to get him but I spent them on Krusty's mansion. I guess I'll have to wait a bit.

    Hmmm, all decent input; was interested to see if anyone was going to mention any unique / newly related tasks or info involved w/ Krusty ' s Roast, which was the reason I received the suggestion to add Mel :wink:


    I believe Mel has only a couple of tasks in that quest line. I'm not sure where I am in the total storyline, but I think he's only done two jobs and nothing was outdoors. It's possible he may come back into it again, but it doesn't seem likely to me.

    Getting the suggestion to add Sideshow Mel to enjoy the 'full Krusty Roast' & figured I'd ask for opinions... seems an ok possible purchase for $140 w/the film studios, but hadn't bothered yet & leaning towards saving for many mandatory Halloween purchases... Anyone really digging having him?


    I say get the cannon as well if you do get him personally I like him he definitely was worth the 160(140 plus the20 for cannon). It's up to you though i think if you don't want the mansion wait until Halloween comes before deciding


    the cannon is also a multiplier giving an increase to the entire town making it even more worthwhile...that .5% will add up over time to a nice number 8)
  • Krustyloo Studios is a great looking building. Especially when paired with the film set.
