[[caption-width-right:350:Notice how it's [[CashCowFranchise SpongeBob]] who's mugging for the camera?]]

* FantasticVoyage: The final level of ''Nicktoons Unite'' is outright called "Fantyastic Voyage of Goddard"; there, the party shrink themselves to hunt down a giant fleabot inside Goddard that spies for and holds the coordinates to Calamitous' secret hideout.

* MissFanservice: Beautiful Gorgeous, [[http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_GKalpoRSdz4/SRebsIbdc5I/AAAAAAAAADU/P58ZeE06-JA/s1600-h/beaut_render.jpg and how.]]

'''Nicktoons: Attack of the Toybots''': Professor Calamitous returns, this time planning to [[TakeOverTheWorld take over the multiverse]] with his army of Toybots, fueled by Ghost energy combined with the fart gas of fairies having been fed Krabby Patties. Spongebob, Patrick, Jimmy, Timmy, Danny, Sam, and newcomer [[TakAndThePowerOfJuju Tak]] team up to collect master models (collectibles said to hold data that Calamitous scanned from character around the multiverse that he kidnapped and then dumped (most of them) back to keep his plan secret) for the Chadbot, a robot servant of Calamitous' who claims he will help them. Along the way, they rescue starring characters from other Nicktoons, including [[RenAndStimpy Stimpy]] and [[RockosModernLife Rocko]] in the console versions, InvaderZim, [[{{Catscratch}} Mr. Blik]], and ElTigre in the NintendoDS version, and [[MyLifeAsATeenageRobot Jenny Wakeman]] and [[InvaderZim GIR]] in both.

'''Spongebob Squarepants featuring Nicktoons: Globs of Doom''': A slimy cyclops alien race known as the Morphoids and their strange orange goo envelops over the Nicktoons' worlds, enslaving all innocent bystanders, so the heroes (Jimmy, Spongebob, Patrick, Danny, and Tak) join forces with the Evil Syndicate (now made up of [[WesternAnimation/DannyPhantom Technus]], [[JimmyNeutron Beautiful Gorgeous]], and [[TakAndThePowerOfJuju Traloc]], with Plankton the only "veteran" member) to get to the bottom of it. In addition, InvaderZim lies his way onto the heroes' side (claiming he's "not evil, just curious"), prompting his nemesis Dib to join the Evil Syndicate. They eventually find out the cause of it all as a result of the BigBad, an alien named Globulous, continually [[BodySnatcher body snatching]] Spongebob because he's sick of his life. In spite of having a new main character to accompany them, the ''Fairly Oddparents'' characters are oddly absent from this one. [[FranchiseKiller It killed the series.]]

** [[TakAndThePowerOfJuju Traloc]] as TheDragon

** Averted in the console versions, where [[DannyPhantom Sam]] is playable as well.

* MassiveMultiplayerCrossover

** [[InvaderZim Dib]] as HeroAntagonist

** [[WesternAnimation/TheFairlyOddParents Timmy Turner]] as TheChick

** ''Attack of the Toybots'' contains "off-screen" cameo appearances by characters from almost all Nicktoons, including those that no longer air regularly (with the exception of ''{{Doug}}'' (due to legal issues with Disney), ''KaBlam'' (which will always get the short end of the stick with Nick)), ''{{Pelswick}}'' (incredibly obscure), and ''TheBrothersFlub'' (Probably considered far poorly made, and also some rights issues with Sunbow), and any and Nicktoons made after the game was released, in the form of Master Models (in layman's terms, collectible items. In-universe, they're the data Calamitous has gathered from his multiversal scannings.).

*** Kablam! may actually be hidden in there somewhere, this troper just played the GBA version of the game and saw Kablam listed in the copyright messages. I also saw a character resembling Loopy's older brother Larry. (I may be wrong, though.)

* LethalJokeCharacter: The unlockable Mr. Huggles in ''Attack of the Toyboys''; he can kill all enemies in one hit.

** An interesting variation of this occurs in ''Attack of the Toybots''. An unlockable feature allows you to play as Dark Danny (Dan Phantom). Yes, ''[[CompleteMonster that]]'' [[AxeCrazy Dark]] [[FutureMeScaresMe Danny]] instead of Danny Phantom. It's presented as an alternate costume. But, still, why would Dan be helping... [[Mst3kMantra Oh, never mind...]]

'''Nicktoons Unite!''': [[TheAdventuresOfJimmyNeutron Professor Calamitous]] joins forces with [[SpongebobSquarepants Plankton]], [[TheFairlyOddparents Mr. Crocker]], and [[DannyPhantom Vlad Plasmius]] to form an [[LegionOfDoom Evil Syndicate]]. They start stealing energy from their respective worlds in order to power a DoomsdayDevice to [[EarthShatteringKaboom blow up the multiverse]]. To counter this, JimmyNeutron recruits SpongebobSquarepants, [[TheFairlyOddparents Timmy Turner]] (who is of course accompanied by Cosmo and Wanda), and DannyPhantom to help him venture into their worlds to stop the villains.

'''Nicktoons: Battle for Volcano Island''': Spongebob, Timmy, and Danny reunite, accompanied by co-stars [[SpongebobSquarepants Patrick, Sandy]], and [[DannyPhantom Sam Manson]], having been picked by a [[TheObiWan Wise Old Crab]] to save Volcano Island from a new villain named the Mawgu. Jimmy notably sits this one out and communicates with the heroes behind the scenes.

'''Spongebob Squarepants featuring Nicktoons: Globs of Doom''': A slimy cyclops alien race known as the Morphoids and their strange orange goo envelops over the Nicktoons' worlds, enslaving all innocent bystanders, so the heroes (Jimmy, Spongebob, Patrick, Danny, and Tak) join forces with the Evil Syndicate (now made up of [[DannyPhantom Technus]], [[JimmyNeutron Beautiful Gorgeous]], and [[TakAndThePowerOfJuju Traloc]], with Plankton the only "veteran" member) to get to the bottom of it. In addition, InvaderZim lies his way onto the heroes' side (claiming he's "not evil, just curious"), prompting his nemesis Dib to join the Evil Syndicate.

* DuelingGames: Compare the plot of ''Globs of Doom'' to that of rival CartoonNetwork's MMORPG ''{{FusionFall}}'' (which was released three months later).

** [[DannyPhantom Vlad Plasmius]] as TheDragon

** [[TheFairlyOddParents Mr. Crocker]] as the DarkChick.
''Globs of Doom''

* FiveManBand:
** [[WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants SpongeBob SquarePants]] as TheHero

** DannyPhantom as TheBigGuy
** [[TheFairlyOddParents Timmy Turner]] as TheChick
** [[SixthRanger Fifth Ranger]] privileges vary: from [[WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants Patrick Star]], [[DannyPhantom Sam Manson]], and [[WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants Sandy Cheeks]] in Volcano Island, to [[InvaderZim GIR]] and [[MyLifeAsATeenageRobot Jenny Wakeman]] in ''Attack of the Toybots'', and (finally) [[InvaderZim ZIM]] (himself) in ''Globs of Doom''.

** The series is titled ''WesternAnimation/{{SpongeBob SquarePants}} and Friends'' in Europe.

* ShoutOut:

** Timmy compares Volcano Island to ''{{Lost}}'' at one point.

* FridgeBrilliance: "Why in the hell is [[VillainProtagonist Zim]] siding with the heroes? And why is [[HeroAntagonist Dib]] willing to team up with the villains, and no one cares when he rambles about not being a bad guy?" Then you remember that Zim sees himself as [[TheOnlyOneAllowedToDefeatYou the only one worthy of taking over the world]] and that Dib is the ButtMonkey.

* AWinnerIsYou: In the GBA version of ''Battle for Volcano Island'', your reward for obtaining all 23 Rip-Zipper pieces and 115 Gold Hearts (which requires a NoDamageRun on every level) is [[spoiler:a giant monolith that says "Congratulations! [[OneHundredPercentCompletion You've completed the game 100%!]] Thank you for playing!"]]. [[FlatJoy Yay.]]

* SpotlightStealingTitle: The series is titled ''[=~SpongeBob SquarePants~=] and Friends'' in Europe.
** Additionally, Spongebob gets top billing for the fourth game, which is justified by him being a focal point of the game's story rather than a part of an ensemble cast.

** [[{{Ptitleaq93ou7hn02v}} Plankton]] as TheBrute

** [[{{Ptitleaq93ou7hn02v}} SpongeBob SquarePants]] as TheHero

** [[SixthRanger Fifth Ranger]] privileges vary: from [[{{Ptitleaq93ou7hn02v}} Patrick Star]], [[DannyPhantom Sam Manson]], and [[{{Ptitleaq93ou7hn02v}} Sandy Cheeks]] in Volcano Island, to [[InvaderZim GIR]] and [[MyLifeAsATeenageRobot Jenny Wakeman]] in ''Attack of the Toybots'', and (finally) [[InvaderZim ZIM]] (himself) in ''Globs of Doom''.

In-universe, they're the data Calamitous has gathered from his multiversal scannings.).

*** Patrick being the character necessary to claim the Aang master model might be a nod to the famous "sea sponge" line in the ''AvatarTheLastAirbender'' episode "Siege of the North, Part 1".
