The Senate is the setting of the fourth level of de Blob 2. The Senate itself is a government building which housed the government of Prisma City.
Prior to the general election, as Blob flew over the Senate building after being fired from the Cannon back in Paradise Island, he saw the the parties inside in complete chaos, as the Senate was bleached.
The opening cutscene shows the voting and election during the election. During the general election, Papa Blanc changes the results of the election by rigging each voting booth. The booths had a artificial arm which would either force the visitors to vote for Blanc, or would do it themselves. Unsurprisingly, when the results came out, it showed that Papa Blanc had won by a clear majority. After the results, Blanc gave a villainous laugh before revealing his true identity as Comrade Black before a reporter; and hence, everyone, before a group of Inky Soldiers stood behind him and the reporter fled in fear.

The Level[]
On his way to the senate Blob and Pinky manage to liberate all political parties and have them unite against INKT. Blob later reached the Senate to liberate it from INKT. After fighting through the building and destroying a turret wheel, Comrade Black fled from the building, along with his two bodyguards, just before it was transformed to its true self.
The following landmarks are visited and transformed:
Landmark | Entry Cost | Notes |
---|---|---|
Cult Center | 40 Purple | A Graydian informs you of prisoners. |
Ballot House | 30 Yellow | Zip mentions wanting a recount. |
Police Station | 30 Red | Zip says to smash it up and seal the manholes. |
Blanc HQ | 40 Red | Pinky says to bring them the word of color. |
Bank | 30 Green | Zip says to close it and crash the market. |
Prisman Memorial | 30 Orange | Pinky mentions a Comrade Black statue. |
The Senate | 30 Brown | Pinky tells you to stop Comrade Black being sworn. Level namesake. |
After transforming the Police Station, Blob must paint the seven sank Prisman senator headquarters along the shoreline, surrounding the Blanc HQ. Each next set of headquarter buildings will come up after hitting the button on the last. It is imperative that Blob listens for Hypnodiscs coming from the Blanc HQ island, and possibly takes out the Shepherds on it in advance (through abusing the target system), as otherwise this main quest can be really frustrating and a time-sink.
Upon transforming The Senate, a satellite dish with a orange beam at the top emerges, and the level may be ended.
There is an oversight in this level with Comrade Black's icon when he speaks: It is the same one used during the Hypno Ray level, despite the fact that he has yet to steal the Prof's Engine Pants.
Aftermath[]
Not much is said about the Senate until Rocket Range, where PNN (Prisma News Network) states that the Senate has reopened and the senators passed a pro-colour bill before heading out to lunch. After Blob defeats Black and the Hypno-Ray is destroyed, Blob crashed in front of the Senate wearing Prof's Engine Pants before meeting with his friends.
