Giant Slide
A ride built by Phineas and Ferb during their summer vacation schemes.
The Giant Slide is one of the rides Phineas and Ferb construct during the game. It is built as part of the player's progress through the seven levels, each based on an episode of the television series. The slide is one of several rides the boys build before Candace prepares her ultimate busting attack. After the rides are completed, Perry the Platypus fights Dr. Heinz Doofenshmirtz, and the resulting explosion obliterates all the rides, including the Giant Slide, right as Candace brings her Mom into the backyard.

Lore & Background
In the game, the Giant Slide is one of several devices the player constructs by gathering tools and objects as Phineas, then using Ferb to operate the devices. The construction process involves little puzzles that end with the creation of slide tracks and engines. Once completed, the player races on the slide down the tracks. The slide is built in the backyard, and the boys must avoid their sister Candace, who is persistent in trying to bust them. The Giant Slide, like all the other rides, is destroyed when Perry's fight with Doofenshmirtz causes an explosion that obliterates everything the boys made.
In Their Own Story
The Giant Slide is constructed during one of the game's seven levels. Phineas gathers the necessary tools and objects while Ferb uses each device to build the slide. The player must avoid Candace as she tries to bust them. After the slide is completed, the player races on it down the tracks. Later, after all five rides are built, Candace prepares her ultimate busting attack. At that moment, the player switches to controlling Perry the Platypus, who fights Dr. Heinz Doofenshmirtz in Doofenshmirtz Evil Inc. The explosion from Perry's final attack destroys the Giant Slide and all other rides just as Candace brings her Mom into the backyard.
