Amortville is an alternate dimension that mirrors Tromaville but with a much more violent police force that shoots first and asks questions later. After the school explosion, Toxie and his companions find themselves transported there, though the mechanism of this dimensional shift remains ambiguous. The film uses this parallel world to explore darker versions of familiar characters and situations.

Noxie is Toxie's evil doppelgänger wreaking havoc in Tromaville while Toxie is trapped in Amortville.

Toxie and Chester attempt to return by emulating Dorothy from The Toxic Avenger, clicking their red shoes together and chanting 'There's no place like Tromaville.' While thisWizard of Oz parody doesn't work literally, it appears to catalyze their return, though the film keeps the mechanics deliberately vague and absurd.

Chester is Amortville's version of Lardass, a once-brilliant scientist now reduced to begging on the streets. Toxie promises to help Chester reunite with his estranged wife Claire. However, Toxie later discovers Claire is now Noxie's lover, which triggers a violent confrontation with Evil Kabukiman. This complicated love triangle adds emotional stakes to the dimension-hopping narrative.

Pompey is a man in Amortville who was horrifically dragged by a truck, leaving him as a disembodied head. He accompanies Toxie throughout the alternate reality and helps search for answers.

After Tex reveals he has a bomb inside his body, Lardass is left to handle the threat. He smothers the explosive device with peanut butter, which somehow neutralizes it. The bomb is then harmlessly dispelled through Lardass's incredibly pungent flatulence, a quintessential example of the film's absurd, gross-out comedy.

Foreshadowing: Lardass's signature gassy ability has been established as his unique weapon throughout the series.

In the climactic delivery room showdown, Toxie battles Noxie as Sarah gives birth. The fight reaches its peak when Toxie's newborn twins contribute to Noxie's destruction, details that are as grotesque as they are absurd, perfectly fitting the film's tone.

Mayor Goldberg introduces several new superheroes to Tromaville, including a beleaguered Sgt. Kabukiman, as part of the city's increasingly chaotic superhero landscape.
