Blind Big Brother

Blind Big Brother is the fifth mission in Homer 1. In this mission, Homer goes to his office to start work (or rather, sleep on the job), but he sees a spy camera that could be taking pictures of him and posting them on the internet. He decides to destroy the control boxes that power the camera as quickly as possible. Once Homer destroys all the control boxes, he heads back to his office to get some sleep, only for Mr. Burns to announce that the shift is over and tells the workers to go home, much to Homer's dismay.

Homer Flick
When activating the mission in Homer's office, you can turn around as you press the action button and move away from the mission marker. If timed correctly, this lets you get back through the door before the mission screen appears, and helps you reach a faster platform cycle more easily

Button Jump
It is possible to jump on the button outside Homer's office which is used to lower the first platform, then double jump onto the walkway above. This saves a small amount of time and allows you to get a faster cycle on the subsequent moving platforms, potentially saving up to 4 seconds.

Button jump is thought to be easier on high FPS.

Fast Destruction
The power couplings must be either kicked twice or ground-pounded once to be destroyed.

If Homer is stood on top of the power coupling, the second kick (the one which destroys the coupling) will have its animation cancelled, allowing you to immediately start moving towards the next coupling.

This lets the player destroy each coupling quickly by jump-kicking to land on top of the coupling and immediately kicking again. This is faster than kicking twice whilst standing on the floor next to it.

If it is advantageous to ground-pound a particular power coupling and Homer lands on the floor, you can immediately jump to cancel the ground-pound animation. This works everywhere in the game.
