The Simpsons: Hit & Run is a 2003 Wide Open Sandbox game in the vein of the Grand Theft Auto series, but with less firepower and more kicking. Five characters from the series are played in the seven level long story mode (In order: Homer, Bart, Lisa, Marge, Apu, Bart again and then Homer again), which initially starts off with Homer's antics on. Vehicles in The Simpsons: Hit and Run. Also see: Vehicles in Hit and Run Level 1 Family Sedan (Homer's first default car), Plow King (Bought from Barney Gumble), Cletus Pickup Truck (Complete Cletus' Bonus Mission), Duff Truck (Bought From Gil), Surveillance Van (Bought from Gil), Elec-Taurus. Sep 16, 2003 Jump in your vehicle before the meter runs back down and start smashing! The meter will continue to refill and stay flashing, but you will NOT get a Hit and Run and the cops will NOT chase you! Now you can destroy as many cars and items as you want for some quick cash - this was vital for me in completing the game quickly to 100%.

This is a sub-page of The Simpsons: Hit & Run.
Inside the game files, there are a number of models that go unused for unknown reasons.
| Internal Name | Image | Description |
|---|---|---|
| franke_m | Unused model for a male child pedestrian intended to spawn in Level 7. He shares his quotes with male children found in Level 1 to Level 6. | |
| askinn_m | Unused 3D model of Agnes Skinner. Possibly meant to be a passenger in Skinner's Sedan (replacing the low-poly model of her present in the vehicle) however more likely meant as a pedestrian, as she has unique quotes for being hit, avoiding a car, and being kicked. |
Using a cheat code, the player can cycle through every character model to allow them to play as any character in any level.
In the PC version, hold F1 and press Down Arrow, Down Arrow, Down Arrow, Left Arrow in the options menu.
In the US GameCube version, enter the below Gecko code then press B during gameplay:
- 4Console Exclusive Files
gaghomer
A model similar in appearance to Homer's Road Rage model, with a few subtle changes (no hair at the back of his head, a tongue and some teeth) intended for use on the title screen, as seen in early screenshots. This model is also found amongst the Main Menu models, which evidences this.
Podium
A podium, presumably intended for the bonus game.
Pedestal
An early version of the pedestal featured in the game.
Console Exclusive Files
Certain unused files can only be found inside the console versions of the game, as opposed to the PC version.
carbox.p3d
A box, presumably for holding cars. The use of this box is unknown, however it is placed inside Level 6's files. Interestingly although it is inside the console versions it uses the file format of the PC version.
Simpsons Hit And Run Jumping Cartoon
Placing it in game shows it to be incomplete. It has no animations on it at all. Other than that it works fine.
chaps.p3d
A pair of chaps, meant for use in the Level 7 bonus mission Flaming Tires. It does not seem to match Burns' character but does fit Smithers' character, so the mission may have originally involved collecting items for Smithers as well.
bbook.p3d
A phone book, again meant for use in Flaming Tires.
chat.p3d
Simpsons Hit And Run Jumping Car Games
A miner's helmet, again meant for use in Flaming Tires. Like chaps.p3d it doesn't match Burns' character.
