Super Brawl 2

**Super Brawl 2** is the second game in the Nickelodeon Super Brawl series following Super Brawl. The game features characters from various Nickelodeon shows such as *SpongeBob SquarePants*, *The Penguins of Madagascar*, *Fanboy & Chum Chum*, *T.U.F.F. Puppy* and more. It is hosted on the Nickelodeon website and is free-to-play for everyone.

## Gameplay

The player controls their character with the arrow keys, sideways for walking, up for jumping and down for blocking. There are two attack buttons; the Z button is for punching and the X button is for kicking. Jumping and kicking (up + x) will make the character perform a jump kick. Each character can perform a special attack, unlike the first game each character has the same input of their special attack (right, right, x) probably due to the increase of characters in the roster. A new feature added to the gameplay is the option to switch between characters when playing tag-team. This can be done by using the space-bar.

## Game Modes

There are four modes of play for the player to choose from, each of which entails a different experience and unique conditions. These four modes are:

* **Arcade** – The player makes the choices of who it is he or she fights and of what stage it is in which he or she brawls.
* **Tournament** – The player chooses a character as his or her brawler and the tournament begins. The player must advance through five randomly picked challengers and defeat each of them to claim victory in the tournament.
* **Tag team** – Two characters are pit against two others in a tag team match.
* **Survival** – This mode gives the player a chance to play consecutive, no-pause matches against a barrage of characters. The player only has one bar of health, so he or she must be wary to conserve it and survive for as long as possible.

### Tournament

Each round of one match is eighty seconds long, and if that time runs out, whichever combatant has the most health left is the winner. Winning two rounds of a match incurs victory for whoever won twice, and the game progresses to the next match. The same rules apply for subsequent rounds and matches.

A bonus round will begin upon completion of the tournament's third match. Bottles fly at the player's character, but they do not have any damaging capabilities. Instead, the player must attempt to shatter as many of these bottles as possible. Each smashed bottle awards the player a few points that go toward his or her point total. When the bonus round is completed, the tournament proceeds.

As the tournament progresses from the first to the fifth match, the player's opponents gradually rise in competence and fighting intensity until the fifth match, during which the difficulty is highest. Winning the tournament ten times allows the player to brawl with the "hardest challenger yet".

### Tag-team

The player chooses the two characters for his or her tag team before picking out the two for his or her opponent's tag team. When the match begins, the characters of the respective teams who were chosen first are the ones who by default are first in the ring. The player as well as the COM may switch to the other tag team member at any time, the player doing so with the space-bar. In order to win, either side must deplete the health of the opponent tag team members.

### Survival

Once the player has chosen the character he or she wants to control, the first match begins. When the first opposing character is defeated, another one falls onto the stage to take the previous character's place. About a quarter of the player character's health is restored for every opponent he or she manages to defeat. The opponents in survival mode are slightly stronger than they are in the other modes, making it more difficult for the player to keep a high health from one round to the next. With twenty-one rounds in all (that is, twenty-one characters to defeat), it is considerably more challenging than the other modes in terms of strategy.

## Characters

There is a total amount of 22 playable characters. Unlike its predecessor all the characters are playable by default. There are two incarnations of SpongeBob on the roster, one from the first game with a Street Fighter-inspired moveset while the new SpongeBob is inspired by his own show.

## Scoring

All modes of play have the same basic point mechanics, except for the tournament mode, which includes a special bonus round (see here for details). Otherwise, each mode has a points-per-hit basis, i.e. for every hit the player lands on his or her opponent, a number of points are awarded. These point values rise if the hits landed on the opponent are part of a successive chain of hits, or combos. The number of hits in a row is multiplied by the normal amount of points that would have been provided for one hit. Additionally, special attacks give more points than normal hits, making a special attack combined with a high combo result in a lucrative point total.

## Trivia
