The Stomach is the third location in Explores the Human Body.
Bus activities[]
Front of the Bus[]
- The bus is ejected from the esophagus and safely parachutes into the stomach. The player is submerged in the stomach's acid, which fills the entirety of the bus's view. When clicking on the acid, various gulping and belching sounds are heard. Bits of digesting food can be seen swimming around, such as a hamburger, chocolate bar, and broccoli. When clicking on the food items, they come to life and say their name. Sometimes, acid hands will form to come to tear the food in half while saying "gotcha!"
- In the mini-game, the player can fill a stomach with acid, and watch it digest various foods. The player can click an "on" switch to shake the stomach around and digest the food faster.
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 Down the Hatch is accessible. A Tetris style game, the player matches pictures of food items to each other as they fall from the top of the screen. Each row cleared counts as getting digested by the stomach.
