Nicktoons: Attack of the Toybots

***Nicktoons: Attack of the Toybots*** (known as ***SpongeBob and Friends: Attack of the Toybots*** in Europe) is the 2007 sequel to the 2005 *Nicktoons Unite!* and 2006 *Nicktoons: Battle for Volcano Island* and is the prequel to "Nicktoons: Globs of Doom". Characters from *SpongeBob SquarePants*, *Danny Phantom*, *The Fairly OddParents*, *The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius*. It is the first time *Tak and the Power of Juju* appears in the video game series. It was then followed by *Nicktoons: Globs of Doom* in 2008.

## Gameplay

*Nicktoons: Attack of the Toybots* gameplay includes playing as two Nicktoons through levels. Most of the levels are set in the toy factory itself but also ventures into Bikini Bottom, Amity Park, Fairy World and Calamitous' Lair. Like previous games characters can jump and perform two types of attacks. Each character has a melee attack and can shoot goo as a projectile attack from the tank on their back. These tubes can be replenished with pickups. In the home console version there are certain special levels in which the character pilots an operational Mech suit (created by Jimmy Neutron) to destroy other larger robots.

Throughout the game are special tubes to be found which can only be entered by specific characters. Normally the character fights a horde of enemies and then can unlock one of the Master Models. There are three bonus levels replacing the normal event for SpongeBob, Tak and Danny.

* SpongeBob has to slide down on your tongue through the sewer without hitting any obstacle. You can however bash into enemies to destroy them.
* Tak has to reach his way to the exit while climbing up walls, evading spikes and other obstacles within the time limit.
* Danny turns invisible and has to activate generators within the time limit to go to the next room. He has to blast away blocks with his ghost powers for this.

In the handheld version gameplay is similar. Other levels appear in this version such as the Ghost Zone, Pupununu Village and Retroville. Only Calamitous' Lair doesn't appear in this version.

## 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 Patrick Star and SpongeBob SquarePants delivering a truckload of several million 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 Turner, Jenny Wakeman (XJ-9), Rocko Rama, GIR, Stimpy and Jimmy Neutron, all of whom 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 Sam Manson and he commands them to find more master models for his collection.

After collecting the master models, 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) Evil Toy Co. 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.

Chad-Bot tells them that Saucer-Men toys capture heroes, so the Nicktoons go through the factory, collect the rest of the master models and destroy the Saucer-Men toys. Then, the Nicktoons head to Fairy World. They then free Jorgen von Strangle (who was in a frozen state on till 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. Chad-Bot credits SpongeBob, Danny, Patrick, Sam, Timmy, Jimmy, Jenny, Rocko, GIR, Stimpy and Tak for his rise to success, and the game ends with Chad-Bot cutting Calamitous' mustache off with an electric shaver as a prize.
