The Mole, the Mob, and the Meatball is the third installment in the episodic adventure game series. After the events of the previous episode, Sam and Max learn that TV host Myra was kept under hypnosis by a teddy bear.
The commissioner sets up an underground operation at the Ted E. Bear Mafia-Free Playland and Casino, but the mole he sent is no longer in contact. Sam and Max must infiltrate the casino and become members of the Toy Mafia.
To gain the organization’s trust, they must complete three tasks: display a teddy bear in Bosco’s store, kill Sybil Pandemik, and recover Ted E. Bear’s Original Meatball stolen sandwich. Once accepted, they investigate the purpose of the hypnotic teddy bears.
The game uses the same gameplay as the previous entries, including an interactive driving scene. It is entirely in 3D, with the player controlling Sam through mouse-based actions, conversation, examination, item use, and inventory management.
