## Game Appearances

### *In Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl*

While Vlad Plasmius does not appear in Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl, hidden data in the game's files reveals that he, alongside many other Nickelodeon characters have unused fighter announcer calls, likely used as placeholders for potential future characters that had chances of appearing at the time.

### *In Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl 2*

Vlad Plasmius finally appears in a Nick Brawl game, starting in Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl 2 where he serves as a boss, and the main antagonist of the game's campaign. He always appears as the final boss in Arcade.

#### *Role in Campaign*

Vlad appears as the main antagonist of the campaign mode. Sometime off-screen, Vlad Plasmius had been spawning star portals in various Nickelodeon universes, which he used to inhale fighters to his domain, and use his mind control device on them, kidnapping them to do his bidding. All of the fighters at the time, other than SpongeBob and Patrick, have already been kidnapped and brainwashed. It is presumed that he has made alliances with King Jellyfish, The Flying Dutchman, Shredder, and Sartana de Los Muertos off-screen, likely promising them some sort of rank in power during the takeover if they assisted him in defeating the fighters.

Soon after, when SpongeBob is showing off his bubble-blowing skills to Patrick in front of their houses on Conch Street, Vlad spawns a star portal near them, and the portal sucks up Patrick against his will before it disappears, then using the mind control device on Patrick, causing him to share the fate with the other brawlers.

Later on, after the heroes defeat King Jellyfish at Jellyfish Fields, Vlad travels there through a star portal and angrily questions why SpongeBob and the others were able to travel to Jellyfish Fields without being under Vlad's control. He then states that he'll have to correct his mistake, and proceeds to KO the heroes, supposedly finishing them off. Clockwork, seeing this, then proceeds to save the heroes by rewinding time and sending them to the Timeless Stardial.

Fast forwarding to later, as the heroes travel on through the Outer Space Zone, Vlad appears once again through a star portal. He states that he's impressed with the heroes' skill in making it far enough to encounter him. He then challenges them to a fight. After the battle, it is revealed that the heroes weren't even in contact with the real Vlad, as it was just a ghostly clone that Clockwork led them to in order to test their skill to see if they were ready to take on the real Vlad Plasmius.

After the next journey through the Outer Space Zone, the heroes encounter the real Vlad Plasmius. Vlad explains that the heroes **almost** would have made great sidekicks and briefly considers having them join him as allies, but then comes to the conclusion that it's best that the heroes should be defeated and mind-controlled, stating that it could be problematic otherwise. He then brawls the fighters. After losing to the fighters, Vlad refuses defeat and attempts to command his computer to control everyone in the entire Nickelodeon universe's mind. The computer is about to initiate the protocol, but warns Vlad that any attempts to carry out the plan will cause extremely dangerous instability to its core, but Vlad ignores this and once again commands the computer to start the plan. The computer then begins protocol, giving an error that the core module levels are critically damaged. Numerous portals and dimensional tears rip all over over the arena, causing Vlad to panic over his plan failing once more, while the hero is sucked into a star portal and saved yet again by Clockwork.

Yet again, after one more adventure through the zones, the heroes make it through the Outer Space Zone challenges, where Vlad Plasmius awaits them at the end. Vlad angrily talks about how the brawlers continuously get in his way, and tries to explain how he is trying to "save" everyone by taking control, but it doesn't fool the fighters at all. Vlad attempts to tell the computer once again to initiate the plan to no success, as the computer seems to be broken. Vlad fights the heroes one more time, and once he loses, he claims that the heroes have doomed everyone. Dimensional tears and portals yet again appear all over the arena and go haywire. A star portal then appears, preparing to inhale Vlad, causing him to panic. Clockwork then off-screen tells Vlad that his time is up, followed by Vlad being sucked into the portal into an unknown location, and the portal then suddenly disappears.

After all the chaos, Clockwork rewinds time once again, sending the heroes to the Timeless Stardial, where they are confused as to whether or not they saved the day. Vlad can then be found at the Timeless Stardial, complaining to the fighters that this is all their fault and that they will eventually regret interfering with his plans. After the heroes have a discussion with Splinter, and Nora Wakeman, they realize that Vlad is possibly telling the truth about "saving" everyone, due to Clockwork's suspicious absence. The heroes then use the Time Medallian to search for Clockwork, and it is then shown that Clockwork has been turned evil by Vlad's mind-controlling machine after an attempt to destroy it. Clockwork also reveals that the mind-controlling machine is flawed in multiple ways, as it doesn't actually control minds -- it only just gives people extremely angry and destructive personalities. It also causes universal destruction, which the newly-destructive Clockwork seems to enjoy watching, as he continuously rewound time just to witness it over and over.
