Summary
Nicktoons Unite! – known in PAL regions as SpongeBob SquarePants and Friends: Unite! – brings together a surprisingly eclectic crew of Nickelodeon heroes. You’ll find SpongeBob, Danny Phantom, Jimmy Neutron, Timmy Turner and even the Fairly OddParents squad sharing the same screen, each trying to foil the villains that have teamed up across their worlds.
The Game Boy Advance version strips the chaos down to a crisp 2D platformer, but it still feels fresh thanks to its pre‑rendered 3D sprites that echo the look of the DS edition. Every level forces you to swap between the two characters you start with, using their unique abilities to unlock doors, trigger switches and solve the quirky puzzles that keep the crossover moving forward.
Storyline
The game opens with SpongeBob discovering that Plankton is using massive vacuum machines to take over Bikini Bottom. A robot named Goddard appears from a portal behind SpongeBob’s house and delivers a message from Jimmy Neutron, prompting SpongeBob to follow the portal into Jimmy’s lab where he meets Jimmy, Timmy Turner and Danny Phantom. Jimmy coats SpongeBob with self‑regenerating moisture so he can survive out of water and explains that his Universe Portal Machine has been stolen by Professor Calamitous, who has formed a Syndicate with Plankton, Vlad Plasmius and Denzel Crocker to siphon energy from their worlds.
The heroes first try to teleport to Casper High but end up in Vlad’s castle, where they learn his ghost portal is draining the Ghost Zone and has captured Danny’s parents. After being knocked out and imprisoned, they befriend the Box Ghost, escape by defeating Walker, and later destroy the portal’s generators with help from Sam Manson and Tucker Foley. Danny briefly possesses his father to smash Vlad’s Ghost Gauntlets before the group escapes.
Back in Bikini Bottom, Jimmy’s air‑gum lets the team breathe underwater. Sandy sends them to Jellyfish Fields, where they rescue Patrick from a jellyfish‑harvesting machine and later board the Flying Dutchman’s ship, bargaining for release by promising to retrieve his lost crew. On the Chum Bucket roof they battle a giant robotic crab piloted by Plankton, freeing Mr. Krabs and learning that the villains are powering a Doomsday Machine.
In Dimmsdale the team infiltrates Crocker’s golden fortress and cuts its power, then travels to Fairy World to free the fairies and defeat Crocker in an exosuit at The Big Wand. Returning to Jimmy’s lab, they discover a flea‑bot hidden in Goddard, shrink down with Jimmy’s ray to enter the robot, destroy the spy and locate Calamitous’s lair. After defeating the Syndicate and unplugging the Doomsday Machine, SpongeBob saves all the Nicktoon universes. Jimmy gives each hero a Neutron Recaller for future emergencies, and the friends part ways, concluding the adventure in Spongebob Squarepants and Friends Unite (Rising Sun).
