Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs (video game)/Plot

===Act I: When Good Food Goes Bad===
It was a dark time for Swallow Falls. Nobody came, nobody went, and nobody cared. I created the FLDSMDFR, or Flint Lockwood Diatonic Super Mutating Dynamic Food Replicator, and food began to rain from the sky. For a time, it seemed like a great idea. Everyone was amazed and the island became famous. But then, things began to go bad...

With Sam and Brent's help, we took off in the Flying Car II, past the clouds, up to the wayward FLDSMFR. It had cranked so long and so high up, it had formed a giant meat-a-roid. Objective: Get onto that meat-a-roid! Penetrate crunchy exterior, tunnel into chewy center, and destroy the FLDSMDFR once and for all!

===The FLDSMDFR===
The FLDSMDFR dangles above a bottomless pit, held aloft by a gelatinous sac. Sam and Brent stand on opposite sides of the level, offering Flint a set of three of his inventions. Flint can swap between these weapons at any time, allowing him to strategize against the enemy food creatures guarding the path to the FLDSMDFR. The FLDSMDFR must be reached and attacked four times: the first three times, drops of honey, oil, chili, and guacamole guide Flint along preset paths to reach the FLDSMDFR.
The fourth time, either Sam or Brent will give Flint Spray-on Shoes. Spraying the FLDSMDFR will trigger a cutscene of it going berserk and falling into the pit below.
In the NDS/PSP version of the game, Tim accompanies Sam and Flint instead of Brent. This is also the final level of the NDS/PSP version, and the FLDSMDFR is destroyed once and for all after beating the level. In the NDS/PSP version, Flint also does not defeat the FLDSMDFR with Spray-On Shoes.
===Act VII: The Ultimate Weapon===
Jumping into the Flying Car II, Sam, Brent, and I made a heroic escape from the meat-a-roid. And the FLDSMDFR stopped spreading its monstrous meals on the island below. And the next day, for the first time since this nightmare began... all was calm...
The credits roll, and at the end, Flint is standing in his backyard next to his (fully intact) lab. Sam, Cal, and Tim all congratulate and thank Flint before the door to the lab opens and Flint can go inside.
Upon entering the lab, I noticed something disturbing... the dange-o-meter was still in the red. I grabbed the blueprints for the FLDSMDFR and it was soon very clear: the auxiliary back-ups had taken over and the machine was cooking up another batch of disaster! It would take more than my Spray-on Shoes to seal the mouth of the beast. There was only one hope left, find all the missing parts of my original blueprint and revive my most ambitious invention ever: The Super Spray-on Shoes.Players can revisit past levels and destroy any Hydronic Foodpods they may have missed (or were unable to obtain because their inventions were not fully upgraded). Upon obtaining all the blueprints, the Unlockables menu reveals a model of the Super Spray-on Shoes. Flint returns to the core to fight the FLDSMDFR once again.
This time, Sam and Brent are not present and Flint is equipped with the Super Spray-on Shoes, which obliterates any enemies that get caught in its spray. Flint clears a path to the FLDSMDFR, and this time, when hitting it, the FLDSMDFR goes berserk, a cutscene shows Flint's shocked face, and the meat-a-roid starts to crumble.
Flint must navigate back out through the mantle, subterrain, and crust, retracing the steps taken to get there in Act VI. However, the player must move quickly: chili falls to cover the path and Flint must stay ahead of it to survive. Flint is equipped with the Super Spray-on Shoes until he reaches the crust, where he gets the Forkamajigger to help him rappel up spaghetti ropes to scale the steep cliffs of cheese.
Well, the FLDSMDFR was finally destroyed, leaving a glorious nimbus (that's Sam's word) high above the world. And except for the occasional Ratbird, the people of Swallow Falls were happy once again. Oh, about Sam and I... If you get out your telescopic see-farrer, you might just catch a glimpse of us some night, sharing from view from above, and eating a very large ice cream.
