Mel's Novelty Shop

Mel's Novelty Shop is a presumed novelty shop near Springfield Town Square.

History
Mel's Novelty Shop is never actually seen in the TV show, but it does appear in The Simpsons: Bart vs. the Space Mutants, where it can be seen in the background of Level 1 (specifically, the second store of the rows of buildings, just after Tool World, and before Toys 'N' Stuff, Candy Most Dandy, and the pet shop). It, alongside Tool World and Toys 'N' Stuff, are the only storefronts where Bart can actually visit to purchase various items needed for completing the level. In particular, it sold cherry bombs (which was needed to drive away a purple bird sitting inside the pet shop.) and rockets (which were required for taking care of several purple objects up high, most notably the bird on Jebediah Springfield's statue, the Barney's Bowlarama sign, and three curtains on the Springfield Retirement Castle.), each costing a coin to get each time. It featured a 1-up Krusty icon as well as a purple flower jar that needed to be spray painted.
