Plot[]
After passing Earth, Ms. Frizzle, Liz and her class approach Mars. After landing, the class finds the whole place looking like it's rusted. Ms. Frizzle and the class then start to climb an icy canyon wall, except of course for Arnold as he's to nervous to. Janet then tells Arnold who would want to waste time climbing on an icy wall anyway and drags him away telling them they're got things to collect for more "proof". After Ms. Frizzle and the class climb all the way to the top, Keesha wonders if Mars could have been another Earth, if it had water that wasn't so cold. Ms. Frizzle then tells the class that Mars is the best place for ice cream (the best place to eat ice cream). Ralphie then asks "Ice cream?! Where?!". Ms. Frizzle finds a cliff of ice. She then jumps off the edge (delivering an ice cream parody) shouting, "Ice Screeeeeam!". The class then jumps off shouting it as well. Meanwhile, Arnold and Janet fill the bus up with more rocks and big ice blocks, making the bus wear out, then Janet tells Arnold to now collect some red dust. This causes Arnold to disgustedly say what choirs he does back on Earth. Meanwhile, after the rest of the class land on the ground below, they suddenly see a strange figure behind a dust fog and fear it to be an alien. But as the figure approuches them, it turns out to be just Arnold all along.

On Mars, the player controls Ralphie on that planet while searching for the Ms. Frizzle token, which will give the player a clue of which planet or moon she's on. Ralphie also does his report on Mars.
