The Large Intestine is the fifth and deepest location in Explores the Human Body.
Bus activities[]
Front of the Bus[]
- The bus enters the large intestine through a valve in the small intestine. Once inside, the player can interact with floating waste matter that shrinks when clicked on. There is also floating bacteria that turns into sludge when clicked on. The bacteria also briefly transforms into a one-eyed alien.
- In the mini-game, the player can observe how bacteria decompresses the food that enters the large intestine by sending various food items through it.
Back of the Bus[]
- The player can read various reports by other students, and also play on Tim's SPLAT! Backpack.
- In Ralphie's handheld game, a mini-game called Tunnel Vision is playable, where the player must safely guide the class through the large intestine via a series of tubes on a grid.
- Wanda, Ralphie, and Dorothy Ann can leave the bus and explore the large intestine. When clicked on, the three will pace around. Wanda can ask where the nutrients from the large intestine goes, Dorothy Ann replies with the liver. Dorothy Ann tells Wanda to be careful, saying to not "Wanda away." Wanda will also ask if Ms. Frizzle also learned about the human body by shrinking down, to which Ralphie responds by saying Ms. Frizzle was born knowing everything.
