History YMMV / Scribblenauts

* PolishedPort: The PC version of ''Unlimited'' has elements of both this and PortingDisaster. On the one hand, being able to type in words with the keyboard is a godsend. On the other hand, the user interface is basically unchanged from the WiiU version, there are minimal options for optimizing graphics, and if you get a framerate of less than 60 FPS, ''the entire game'' will slow down to compensate. That being said, it's still far from broken and quite enjoyable in the long run.

%%** Live invincible armed rc plane

** Five words: LIVE INVINCIBLE ARMED RC PLANE.

** Also in ''Unlimited'', [[GrimReaper Death]] is joined by [[HorsemenOfTheApocalypse Pestilence, War, and Famine]]. They even have their own mission. Problem is, Pestilence and War got their colors switched…

* ItsEasySoItSucks: A common critical reaction to ''Unlimited'', where almost all tasks can be solved with obvious everyday objects.

* SpoilAtYourOwnRisk: A massive GameFAQs crackdown resulting from an early release, in which hundreds of topics were moderated for discussing gameplay before the street date.

%%* ContestedSequel: ''Unmasked''

%%* MemeticMutation:
%%** Post 217.
%%** The ESRB page created several, including "Steak can be attached to a baby to attract lions."

* ViewerGenderConfusion: Samurai, Ninja, and Clown are FEMALE. [[spoiler: The reason we know this is because they turn into Goddesses when fed Ambrosia.]] Anon wlll also eat Ambrosia, but will not change into anything, and will just stay Anon.
* VillainDecay: It's hard to take Cthulhu seriously when it's tied to a tree, under your mind control and crouching beside you like a loyal puppy.

** ''Unlimited'' has "Edwin's Farm" -- doesn't help that it plays every time Maxwell returns to Lily with more starites -- and the sound that plays after getting a starite.

* ContestedSequel: ''Unmasked''. See LoveItOrHateIt.

* HolyShitQuotient: [[http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=16184727&postcount=217 Post 217]] demonstrates this.

* FamilyUnfriendlyAesop: The game is sometimes slyly subversive. For example, in ''Super Scribblenauts'', you have to cure one character of being scared and frightened. One solution? ''Give him a gun.''

** Near the beginning of ''Scriblenauts Unlimited'' you have to help a pig win a competition. How do you do this? By making it giant and giving it wings '''mid-competition'''. [[SarcasmMode Because helping people by cheating will reward you]]!
** You can console an orphan with "no one left" by giving them a dead mom in ''Unmasked''.

* VillainDecay: It's hard to take Cthulhu seriously when it's tied to a tree, under your mind control and crouching beside you like a loyal puppy.
* WhatDoYouMeanItsNotForKids: Don't let the cute graphics fool you. You can [[ShownTheirWork get dingoes to eat babies]]!

* GameBreaker: [[http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/genmessage.php?board=955689&topic=51505358 This]].

* GoodBadBugs: One report mentions a case with an elephant and a rocket launcher. The elephant grabbed the launcher with its trunk and started firing away. [[ThrowItIn They didn't fix it]].
** WebOriginal/{{Boatmurdered}} much?

** In the first game, you can use the same item multiple times in Challenge Mode by putting anything and a space before it. This doesn't work in later games, since they have adjectives that actually do go before the word. Doubles as a GoodBadBug.
** Another GoodBadBug GameBreaker is in levels that are constantly spawning something that impedes your progress. For example, something that's constantly shooting bombs. Spawn something big over and over and over and over and it will fill up the ink meter, causing no more bombs to be shot either.

** The adjectives in SuperScribblenauts are very powerful.
