Multi-Card Play

Multi-Card Play is a method of system multiplayer common in Nintendo DS titles, achieved by wirelessly connecting two DS systems together when both have the same cartridge. It is utilized in Drawn to Life: SpongeBob SquarePants Edition, and supports up to four players.
== Main Mode==
The game-play in this mode is completely different from the main game, as it involves playing as actual SpongeBob characters corresponding to the player order - SpongeBob, Patrick, Sandy and Mr. Krabs - rather than a hero drawn by the player. The aim is to draw a custom piece of treasure, and secure it for as long as you can until the 60 second time runs out, gaining coins as it's held. Other players can attack the one holding the treasure by jumping on them, diving at them or using one of a few powerups that appear throughout the level. The player with the most coins in their possession at the end of the match wins.
== Trivia ==
* Drawn to Life: SpongeBob SquarePants Edition is one of only two games in the entire series to have a multiplayer mode, the second being Drawn to Life: The Next Chapter (Wii).
** It's also one of only two entries on the DS to have Multi-Card Play - the other one being the DS version of Drawn to Life: The Next Chapter - as well as the sole entry to utilize it for multiplayer rather than trading.
* The playable characters - SpongeBob, Patrick, Sandy and Mr. Krabs - were all playable in Altron's previous SpongeBob DS game, Atlantis SquarePantis.
** All the four characters correspond with the player in the lobby - SpongeBob for player 1, Patrick for playrt 2, Sandy for player 3 and Mr. Krabs for player 4.
*** There exists character portraits and a music track titled "Character Select" in the game files, which indicates that a character select menu for this mode was cut.
* The powerups utilized in this mode cannot be used by the player in the main game.
* Rather than calling a draw game, all players who reach the same amount when the match ends will have separate 1st place podiums.
