History YMMV / CartoonNetworkPunchTimeExplosion

* LoveItOrHateIt: That's generally how it goes with this game. Either you love it because it's a fighting game that mixes CartoonNetwork classics, or you hate it because you think it could've been better, and it left out [[WesternAnimation/AdvemtureTime Finn and Jake]], [[WesternAnimation/CourageTheCowardlyDog Courage]] and [[WesternAnimation/EdEddNEddy the Eds]].

* HilariousInHindsight: Cartoon Network at one point had Sweepstakes for getting a copy of ''SuperSmashBros'', called the "Smash Hit Giveaway" ([[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ePdq9I2BvWs&feature=related Can be seen here]]). Several years later, they create this game.

* [[IntendedAudienceReaction They Plotted a Perfectly Good Waste]] [[TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot to a Perfectly Good Plot]]: It's not uncommon for people to compare the story mode to that of a fanfic. We have the protagonists of many, ''many'' CartoonNetwork shows, fighting all of the villains who teamed up, but the villains make some... Rather questionable area decisions (Vilgax in Marzipan City, for one), along with the reveal that the villain of the game is [[spoiler: the remote control of the Narrator]], which, while done in the manner of many of Cartoon Network's signature comedies, [[GiantSpaceFleaFromNowhere is entirely out of place in a]] CrisisCrossover, and one could argue that any of the villains in the game could have been better as the BigBad.

* [[TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot They Just Didn't Care about The Plot]]: It's not uncommon for people to compare the story mode to that of a fanfic.

* TheyJustDidntCare: Most of the replacement voices sound nothing like the originals. [[AndTheFandomRejoiced Though this is no longer the case for]] ''[[UpdatedRerelease XL]]''. Most characters would be receiving their original [=VAs=], but not everyone.

* AndTheFandomRejoiced: When people found out that [[spoiler:CaptainPlanet was playable.]]
** To some smaller extent, SamuraiJack himself. This also led to [[EnsembleDarkhorse The Scotsman]] and [[BigBad Aku]] being added to ''XL''. Also, JohnnyBravo.
*** [[WesternAnimation/{{Ben10}} Young Ben]] is also in the game, though this is probably more for those who [[FirstInstallmentWins don't really prefer the sequel series]].
** Most of the Original [=VAs=] are returning (most, [[AuthorExistenceFailure barring]] [[MakoIwamatsu one]]).

* AccidentalNightmareFuel: [[ThePowerpuffGirls Him]] enters as the last boss in the Arcade mode in a rather creepy fashion. [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ypplt4Zi5Jg&feature=player_detailpage#t=795s See here.]]

** The reviews to the UpdatedRerelease seem to be much more favorable.

* MissedMomentOfAwesome: A Cartoon Network ''fighting game'' with ''no'' characters from AdventureTime?
** How about CowAndChicken, EdEddNEddy or MegasXLR?

** To some smaller extent, SamuraiJack himself. This also led to [[EnsembleDarkhouse The Scotsman]] and [[BigBad Aku]] being added to ''XL''. Also, JohnnyBravo.
