Nickelodeon and Ludosity, the developers for All-Star Brawl, can even go beyond cartoons and scripted shows and add characters and elements from Nick’s roster of unmatched game shows. I’m thinking of a game that’ll let me crash a piece of the Aggro Crag (G.U.T.S.) on someone’s head or fight as one of those utterly fucking terrifying Temple Guards (Legends of the Hidden Temple). And slime, I want so much slime. If there’s no special ability that lets players slime the entire stage, then what are we even doing here Nickelodeon?

I regrettably understand that likeness rights prevent most of these dreams from coming true. I am, however, willing to settle for something like Smash’s Mii fighters that merely resemble these memorable characters of my youth. I’ll even take trophies or stages that reference those live-action shows. Nickelodeon’s rich history goes beyond the cartoons we dearly loved. If there’s a way for Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl to pay homage to that, then it will be my automatic GOTY.
