The first episode. The Player picks detectives to try to catch Carmen Sandiego. What's Carmen done now? She has stolen the eyes of a Vincent van Gogh self-portrait, the nose from a Picasso, and the Mona Lisa's smile. Carmen plans to create her own masterpiece. Acme detective Ivy and her younger brother Zack are the only ones who can stop her.
I liked this episode even though it had some rough spots. It is the first episode.
I am still working on this...
A van Gogh exhibit
Vincent van Gogh (1853-1890), Dutch post-impressionist painter. Tons of Vincent's painting are shown in the beginning of this episode as Carmen sneaks around the van Gogh museum. I am pretty sure these are the paintings shown. I couldn't make some out...

A Carmen Double
Touriste Classe

Carmen's henchman in this episode. The detectives chase him in Amsterdam. He also steals the Mona Lisa's smile from the Louvre. He can also be seen in "Labyrinth Part 1"

Carmen's Clue
|
"I had the biggest nose, but I might be lying. I had the biggest nose, but I might be lying."

The Picasso Nose
Carmen's covered face
|
Carmen covers her face with a orange scarf in this episode. Yuck! Thankfully, she stops doing that.

"Now I will unveil my masterpiece for you, and then I'll keep it forever in my private art museum."
