Nicktoons: Attack of the Toybots

Nicktoons: Attack of the Toybots (known as SpongeBob and Friends: Attack of the Toybots in Europe) is the third game in the Nicktoons Unite! video game series. It features playable characters from various Nicktoons, most notably including a few secret characters from long-cancelled shows. It was followed by SpongeBob SquarePants featuring Nicktoons: Globs of Doom in 2008.
== Plot ==
The opening intro for the game features Professor Calamitous on a game show called the Biggest Genius. Calamitous states that by feeding fairies Krabby Patties, they can emit a magical gas that, combined with ghost energy, can be used as a form of fuel for his army of "Toybots".
As the opening credits are shown, the game itself opens with SpongeBob and Patrick delivering a truckload of 3,000,287 Krabby Patties to a Krabby Patty processing and toybot factory. Upon arriving at the factory, a robot sucks up all the Krabby Patties, and Patrick, unintentionally, in the process. SpongeBob chases after the robot, and eventually finds his way into the factory.
After finding his way through the factory, SpongeBob finds Patrick vacuum-packed like a toy. After freeing Patrick, they meet Tak, of the Pupununu People, who claims to have been abducted and scanned. They later find Timmy and Jimmy, who also claim to have been abducted and scanned. They meet the Chad-Bot, a robot who is the Professor's helper. They ask him to use something to contact Danny Phantom and commands them to find more Master Models for his collection.
After collecting the Master Models and rescuing Stimpy, Jimmy contacts Danny, who says that Calamitous' invading toy army took over his house to use the energy coming from the Ghost Zone and its surrounding with robots, that looks like him and Sam. So Jimmy tells Danny and Sam to meet him and the other Nicktoons at the Amity Park (which is almost destroyed) EvilToyCo outlet and when they get there they see that Jimmy made some mech-suits that will let them fight the big tin robots. After defeating a giant evil toy Jimmy head, they head back into the factory where they find some more master models and rescue Rocko.
Chad-Bot tells them that Saucer Men toys capture heroes, so the Nicktoons go through the factory (rescuing GIR and Jenny in the process), collect the rest of the master of Master Models, and destroy the Saucer Men toys. Then, the Nicktoons head to Fairy World. They then free Jorgen (who was in a frozen state, until Patrick bumped into him, thanks to Jimmy), who destroys the fairy harvester, and then get back into the mech-suits to the Professor's lair (Jorgen even tells them to collect 500 fairies which they do).
They get to where the opening intro of the game was and the winner of the Biggest Genius is none other than Chad-Bot himself, who tells Calamitous' plan to abduct the best characters from every universe lead to his victory and the game ends with Chad-Bot cutting Calamitous' mustache off with an electric shaver.

* This is the first home console crossover video game to feature characters from El Tigre: The Adventures of Manny Rivera.
* This is the only crossover video game to include characters from As Told By Ginger, ChalkZone, and The X's.
** If counting on the copyright screen and the unused Master Models of Henry, June, Sniz, Fondue, Prometheus, The Flesh, Thundergirl, Meltman, and Stinky Diver, this was the only crossover video game to feature characters from KaBlam! and Action League Now!. While though mentioned in the copyright screen, this was the only crossover video game where Oh Yeah! Cartoons was represented, despite the characters not appearing either in the game or as the Master Models (aside from many characters from The Fairly OddParents, ChalkZone, and My Life as a Teenage Robot).
* This was the first video game where Tak was voiced by his animated TV series actor Hal Sparks instead of Jason Marsden.
* According to a concept art of the Master Model chamber, Arnold was originally going to be a playable character in the original game.
*According to a concept art of the Chad-Bot's basement, Zim was originally going to be a Master Model in the original game, but he switched into a playable character exclusively on the Nintendo DS version of the game.
*Snap, Henry, June, Sniz, Fondue, Prometheus, The Flesh, Thundergirl, Meltman, and Stinky Diver were originally going to be the Master Models in the game, but was immediately scrapped due to unknown reasons.
* The Master Model chambers heavily resembles the Irken technology from Invader Zim, in which a button has the Irken symbol on it.
** The Saucer Men toys also resemble the Irken invaders.
*In the Wii and PS2 versions, each character has an alternate costume that can be purchased with Circuits, the in-game collectibles:
**SpongeBob's alternate costume is based on SpongeGar from the episode "Ugh".
**Danny's alternate costume is based on Dark Danny from the special episode "The Ultimate Enemy".
**Patrick's alternate costume is based on his Barnacle Boy outfit from the episode "Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy".
**Sam's alternate costume is based on her corrupted appearance in the episode "Urban Jungle".
**Timmy's alternate costume is based on his outfit from the episode "Odd, Odd West".
**Jimmy's alternate costume is loosely based on his outfit from the special episode "My Big Fat Spy Wedding".
**Tak's alternate costume is based on the Chicken Suit from his first game.
**Jenny's alternate costume is based on her paint job from the episode "The Great Unwashed".
**Stimpy's alternate costume is based on his outfit from the episode "The Royal Canadian Kilted Yaksmen".
**GIR's alternate costume is based on his dog disguise seen throughout Invader Zim.
