Go To

Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl frequently references the many Nicktoons in its roster.

Aaahh!!! Real Monsters

The Angry Beavers

  • Both of the beavers have an idle dancing animation taken from the theme song of their show.
  • Daggett's neutral charge attack (as well as his up air charge attack) is Excaliball (a bowling ball that bungees to Daggett's palm by gum) from "Alley Oops".
  • Norbert's neutral charge attack is a boxing glove from "Same Time Last Week" when he literally bopped Daggett into the previous week.
  • Their ult has them use the Mindulator-thingy from the Halloween episode, "The Day the World Got Really Screwed Up!" and just like in the episode, they throw it.
  • If playing as Norbert and Daggett in the campaign, after you fight Vlad Plasmius for the first time and it's revealed that you actually fought a clone instead of the actual Vlad, Norbert will make a crack about Vlad leaving his "Easy-Clone Oven" on once you get to the real deal, in reference to the episode "Three Dag Night" wherein Daggett uses said oven to clone himself and gets carried away with it. Their defeat quote against Sartana also makes reference to the Easy-Clone Oven.

Avatar: The Last Airbender

  • Aang:
  • Toph:
    • Toph's light up attacks have her brandish her Champion's belt from "The Blind Bandit".
    • Her taunt, where she waves her hand across her face while grinning sarcastically, comes from "The Library".

CatDog

  • CatDog:
    • Their forward strong attack and upward strong aerial (when Dog is on point) involve Dog suddenly bulking up tremendously and flexing, much like in the episode "Pumped".
    • Their down strong attack has one of the brothers attack with the Golden Hydrant from the episode of the same name.
    • Their up strong attack has one of the brothers fling Rocky the stone from the episode "Meat, Dog's Friends".
    • When Cat is in front, one of their moves has him hack up a hairball, not unlike what Dog does in the show's intro.
    • Their up special briefly dresses Dog and Cat up as Dog the Mighty and Cat-Boy, superhero personas previously seen in "Dog the Mighty" and "Dog the Not-So-Mighty". Dog even says "I smell trouble!" while the duo does the move.
    • The pose they strike at the beginning of their trailer is based on official art that, among other places, is on the complete series DVD◊.
    • Their victory animation has two separate references: the brothers fruitlessly attempt to run away from each other like in the show's intro, while their final pose is lifted from the Season 4 DVD cover◊.

Danny Phantom

  • Danny:
    • Danny's light down attacks have him attack the opponent with ice, which he learned to do in "Urban Jungle".
    • Danny pulls out the Fenton Thermos for his neutral strong, as seen in "Mystery Meat" and various other episodes as Danny's main means of capturing ghosts.
    • Danny's neutral special is the Hand Blast he frequently uses throughout the series.
    • His down special is the Ghostly Wail, which he learned in the The Ultimate Enemy special.
    • One of his alternate costumes is based on the jumpsuit he wore when he first gained his powers (including his hair being black like normal, although the eyes were incorrectly colored green instead of blue the first game).
    • One of Danny's new alternate costumes in the second game is pulled from the episode ''Teacher of the Year'', where Danny chases Technus inside an online multiplayer game by overshadowing his in-game avatar and using his powers to quickly make it to the last level, and stop Technus from taking over the world.
    • One of Danny's victory lines is an insult he used against Vlad Plasmius in "The Million Dollar Ghost":
      You're bitter and alone!
  • The Box Ghost, a recurring comic relief villain, can be seen in the background of the Ghost Zone stage.

Double Dare (1986)

  • Slime Time:
    • Many elements from the obstacle course appear in the background. These include Pick It!, Overstuffed, The Hot Dog, and One-Ton Human Hamster Wheel.
    • The host and contestant podiums can be seen in the center of the background.
    • The walls are made up of blue tiling, mimicking the set of the 2018 revival. Additionally, the checkerboard pattern on the monitors have subtle animation loops, a design choice also used by the revival.

Garfield

  • Garfield:
    • His light down attack has him trying and failing to swat a spider with a newspaper, a frequent occurrence in the comics. The Written Sound Effect accompanying it is also written in the same font as it is in the original strip.
    • Garfield's Thought Bubble Speech in the original comic gets two separate nods:
      • Unlike every other fighter, his dialogue in Arcade Mode is written in a thought bubble.
      • His light air attack has him use the thought bubble as a means of offense.
    • His strong up has him eating a tray of lasagna, his pose identical to the one he usually uses in the same context in the original comic and cartoons.
    • His entrance animation has him do a dance with a top hat and cane, while his strong down attack has him don the same get-up for its duration. Both moves draw inspiration from the opening to the first six seasons of Garfield and Friends.
    • Garfield's down special has him place Pooky on the ground, and pressing the input again has Pooky fly to Garfield's current location and hit anyone in the way. Functionally, this is identical to a move from Garfield: Saving Arlene and its sequel Garfield: Lasagna World Tour, which had Garfield whistling for Odie instead.
    • One of Garfield's attacks has him resemble his sabretooth cat look from Garfield: Caught in the Act.
    • Garfield's unlockable alternate render is his iconic Badass Armfold pose.

Hey Arnold!

  • Helga's neutral special is the Golden Magic Slingshot she wields in "What's Opera, Arnold?".

Invader Zim

  • Zim:
    • His grounded light neutral sees Zim wearing Microgoggles and spraying the opponent with disinfectant, calling back to "Germs"
    • Both of Zim's up strongs in the first game have him pulling out an Irken Shock Spear, a weapon sometimes used by other Irkens throughout the series.
    • His strong down aerial and super attack have him pull out Minimoose (from "The Most Horrible X-Mas Ever" and Enter the Florpus) for offensive use.
    • GIR exploding upon touching a fighter recalls "Dib's Wonderful Life of Doom", where Zim orders him to self-destruct and he's all too happy to comply.
    • Zim's Down Special in the first game has him throw out one of the garden gnomes seen in his garden throughout the series. The sequel changes this to the explosion from the episode "Walk for Your Lives" and moves the gnome to his grounded down strong as well as his light back aerial.
    • His alternate costume is the human disguise he wore throughout the original series. GIR's eyes also turn red, referencing his more competent "Duty Mode".

The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron, Boy Genius

  • Hugh:
    • Hugh's entrance animation has him crash-land onto the stage in a hang-glider, the same one he rode while enjoying "Hugh time" in "Return of the Nanobots".
    • One of his Idle Animations has him do some Batty Lip Burbling and proclaim "I'm a monkey!" like he did when he believed he was hallucinating the sudden snowstorm created by Jimmy in "Jimmy on Ice".
    • His light upper, "The Osseous System Jam", has him "bend the knee and touch the sky" in a manner similar to when he tried to sing an educational song about the skeleton in "Journey to the Center of Carl".
    • His light down is named "Ducks: the Musical!", after the play he and Judy went to see in "Party at Neutron's".
    • His light up-air has him pose like a fountain and squirt water from his mouth, another reference to the montage of Hugh enjoying "Hugh time" in "Return of the Nanobots".
    • His light down-air has him jump on a duck-themed pogo stick, one of his toy inventions from "Fundemonium".
    • His light dash has him trip on a flower and fall to the ground like he did in "Maximum Hugh".
    • His strong neutral has him pull out Flippy, his ventriloquist dummy from "Attack of the Twonkies" who reappeared in the episode of same name.
    • His strong up-attack, "I Will Live!", has him triumphantly raise two stacks of pie boxes like he did after discovering a truck full of pie in "Return of the Nanobots".
    • His strong down-attack has him pull out a large decoy duck, specifically the one he said was his favorite in "My Son, the Hamster".
    • His strong up-air has him pull out the ukulele he played while singing the previously-mentioned educational song in "Journey to the Center of Carl".
    • His strong down-air has him dive to the ground as if he were diving into a pool, like he did while he and Jimmy were washing the windows in "Maternotron Knows Best".
    • His strong dash attack has him take out a Laser Blade that he previously used to fight off a mutant crabgrass monster in "The Feud".
    • His up special has him sit on a banana, a reference to an infamous line from "League of Villains".
    • His down special has him ride a motorcycle, which he previously had in "Make Room for Daddy-O".
    • His victory animation has him do the infamous "Donut Boy" dance from "Lights! Camera! Danger!".
    • His losing animation shows him wearing a Yolkian mind control helmet and doing the Chicken Dance with a blank expression, like he and the other parents did in Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius.
    • His alternate taunt has him kiss his fingers and then make a peace sign to the "audience", like he did after he finished singing the previously-mentioned educational song in "Journey to the Center of Carl".
  • Duck, Duck, Pie!:
    • A pie box labeled "Aunt Mo's Pies" can be seen floating in the background, a reference to the aforementioned "Return of the Nanobots".
    • A wagon with "Retro Flyer" painted on it can be seen in the background, which is a recurring wagon in the series.
    • The stage itself may be inspired by a Fantasy Sequence in "Holly Jolly Jimmy", where Hugh and Judy dance atop a giant floating pie.
  • Jimmy
  • Jimmy's Lab
    • The stage's different layouts seem to be based on Jimmy's past inventions. Thus far we've seen layouts based on the Neutronic Burping Soda and the Invisible Hamster, both from the original film.

The Loud House

My Life as a Teenage Robot

  • Jenny:
    • One of Jenny's idle animations has a small monitor with Nora Wakeman's face on it pop out of her chest and surprise her, a recreation of part of her show's opening sequence.
    • Jenny's alternate taunt has her sit on the ground with an eager expression, like she did when waiting for her Exo-Skin suit to be made in "Raggedy Android".
    • Jenny's alternate costume is her makeover from "The Great Unwashed" (nicknamed "Hot Rod Jenny" by fans).
    • Jenny's showcase for the sequel begins with a Shot-for-Shot Remake of her show's intro, with Plankton serving as a substitute for the robots.

The Ren & Stimpy Show

  • Ren & Stimpy:
    • "Stimpy's Invention" gets several references in their moveset:
      • Their victory animation is a recreation of the Happy Happy Joy Joy dance.
      • Their reveal trailer opens with a brief cinematic showing them doing part of the Happy Happy Joy Joy dance.
      • "Brain Jogger", their up strong aerial, involves Ren smashing himself with a hammer much like he does in that episode (attempting to destroy the titular invention).
    • One of their attacks is the "History Eraser", referencing the History Eraser Button from the episode "Space Madness".
    • The car used for their strong dash attack resembles the one the titular character of "Egg Yölkeo" drives.
    • Their neutral special involves Log (from Blammo), seen in various faux commercials throughout the series.
    • Their down special, "First Fart", alludes to "Son of Stimpy" (which sometimes bears the alternate title "Stimpy's First Fart").
    • Ren's part of their taunt is his dance from the Adult Party Cartoon episode "Fire Dogs 2".
    • Their alternate costumes are Santa hats, much like the one Stimpy wears in "Son of Stimpy" (along with the cover◊ to the VHS compilation Have Yourself a Stinky Little Christmas, where both of them wear one).
    • Their Super Attack in 2 is a recreation of Ren's Imagine Spot from "Stimpy's Fan Club", only here, the entire Earth explodes instead of a chunk of it.
  • Powdered Toast Man:
  • Space Madness:
    • Unsurprisingly, the stage is primarily based on the episode of the same name. It recreates several of the objects floating in zero gravity, including bathwater with Ren's "beloved ice cream bar" (actually soap) inside of it.
    • One of the objects that function as platforms is a bag of Gritty Kitty litter, a product seen in several episodes of the original series.
  • Powdered Toast Trouble:
    • There's a box of Sugar Frosted Milk in the background, a nod to the fake commercial for the product seen in the episode "Space Madness".
    • The fly that buzzes around the stage is lifted directly from "Aloha Höek".

Rocko's Modern Life

  • Rocko:
    • His entrance animation has him shooting down onto the stage in a splattered heap before rising up, similar to how he does in the show's intro. It's also the basis of one of his moves, "Flying High!".
    • His standing neutral strong move has him screaming "YOU'RE FIRED!!!" at his opponents, similar to how he screamed at Filburt in "Power Trip".
    • His neutral dash attack involves him rollerskating forwards uncontrollably much like in "Wallaby on Wheels".
    • Rocko's alternate costume is his bowling uniform from the episode "Gutter Balls".

Rugrats

SpongeBob SquarePants

  • SpongeBob (first game):
    • His "Imaginaaation Clap" and "Kick" attacks involve him summoning a rainbow, much like his explanation of "imaginaaaation" in "Idiot Box". The former move even has him perform the same hand gesture.
    • His Down Special move, "Chomp", is taken from a scene in "I'm With Stupid" where he bites Patrick.
    • His Up Special move, "Order Up", involves him flying with the hydrodynamic spatula from "Help Wanted".
    • He brings out a small dustpan and broom to sweep the floor for his Down Light attack, "Floor Sweep", like how he cleaned up the tomatoes thrown at Squidward in the episode "Culture Shock".
    • His strong dash attack, "Running Slip", comes from the scene where he slips on the Krusty Krab's frozen floors in "Krabs à la Mode".
    • His taunt has him do the infamous chicken imitation from "Little Yellow Book".
    • SpongeBob's victory animation replicates his "eager face" dance from near the end of "Band Geeks".
    • His victory animation when part of a team has him do the first part of his "Who put you on the planet?" dance from "I ♥ Dancing".
    • Whenever SpongeBob enters the stage at the start of a match, he's dropped in by Hans, the live-action hand as seen in the theme song and episodes like "Suds".
    • His Split Kick is reminiscent of the "great big lunge" he does when doing The Sponge in "The Chaperone".
    • His jump and double jump animations are very similar to his animations from the Nicktoons Unite! games.
    • His strong neutral, "Jellyfish Swing", closely resembles his primary attack from SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom.
    • When knocked down, SpongeBob lies face-down on the ground and starts crying, just as he did after being rejected by the Jerkass customer in "Pizza Delivery".
    • His alternate costume is Smitty Werbenjägermanjensen's #1 soda-drinking hat from "One Krab's Trash".
    • When SpongeBob uses Squidward's Clarinet, he starts singing loudly, exactly like he did when acting as a clarinet in "Sleepy Time".
  • SpongeBob (second game)
    • One of his new aerial moves in the sequel has him don the visor from the "Goofy Goober Rock" sequence in The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie.
    • His new light down attack has him use the Anchor Arms from "MuscleBob BuffPants".
    • His Super Attack in 2 has him take a characteristically chaotic driving test with Mrs. Puff. The boat has the number 18 painted on it like the one SpongeBob drives in "Boating School".
  • Patrick:
  • Sandy:
    • Her strong dash attack has her surf on a clam, just as she did in "Pre-Hibernation Week".
    • Her neutral special has her pull out her lasso and her losing pose shows her forlornly playing guitar, both from "Texas".
    • Her up special is her Jet Pack from "Sandy's Rocket".
    • Her down special has her use her extendo-boots from "Stuck on the Roof".
    • Her alternate costume is her basketball jersey and headband from "Sportz?".
  • Jellyfish Fields:
  • Glove World:
    • There are two allusions to "Roller Cowards":
      • The Fiery Fist O' Pain, the roller coaster at the center of the episode's plot, is the primary stage hazard.
      • The park mascot Glovey Glove, introduced in this episode, is visible in the background.
    • The Glove Boat seen in the stage's background comes from "Glove World R.I.P.".
    • The stage's music track appears to be a Musical Pastiche of "Welcome to Glove World" by Barry Anthony and Nicolas Carr, a piece of stock music that plays during scenes involving Glove World in the show.
  • Squidward:
    • One of his attacks has him don his helmet he wore during the time he was Captain Magma.
    • His Super Attack has him transform into Handsome Squidward.
    • One of his alternate costumes is the marching band uniform from "Band Geeks".
    • Squidward has multiple attacks that incorporate his interpretive dance from "Culture Shock".
  • Plankton:
  • Mr. Krabs:
    • His release date is February 15, thus GIVE IT UP FOR DAY 15!
    • His Super Attack has him dangling his opponents over the edge of a boat using a fishing rod, offering them as live bait for a giant clam. This is in reference to what he attempted to do to SpongeBob and Squidward in "Clams".
    • Also from "Clams", Mr. Krabs' light forward attack is the pose he makes while standing on the edge of the S.S. Cheapskate while keeping an eye out for the giant clam that stole his dollar. If the player holds down the attack button, Krabs will continue to hold the pose and eventually fade into the same haggard and bearded state that he does in the original episode after standing out there too long.
    • Some of his aerials and his side taunt reference the iconic robot dance from "Krab Borg"

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

The Wild Thornberrys

  • Nigel Thornberry
    • Nigel says "Smashing!" when performing Flick, referencing his memetic Catchphrase.
