Nicktoons Unite! (known as SpongeBob SquarePants and Friends: Unite! in Europe) is a video game featuring Danny Phantom (the titular character from the TV series), SpongeBob SquarePants (the titular character from the TV series), Timmy Turner (from The Fairly OddParents), and Jimmy Neutron (from The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius) along with their respective arch-enemies like Vlad Plasmius, Sheldon J. Plankton, Denzel Q. Crocker, and Professor Finbarr Calamitous. The gameplay of the console versions is quite similar to X-Men Legends albeit more simplistic (obviously due to the fact that it was geared towards a younger audience) and with a larger emphasis on puzzles.

[edit] Story
When Professor Finbarr Calamitous steals Jimmy Neutron's plans for the "Universe Portal Machine", he constructs his own version of the device to recruit an inter-dimensional band of Villains made up of Vlad Plasmius, Sheldon J. Plankton, and Denzel Q. Crocker. Collectively known as the "Evil Syndicate", they create a Doomsday Device while unleashing an army on the worlds of Dimmsdale, Bikini Bottom, Amity Park, and Retroville.
"Brain-blasting" a plan, Jimmy uses his 'Universe Portal Machine' to scour the multiverse for, drafting Danny Phantom, SpongeBob SquarePants, and Timmy Turner. Now the Nicktoons must defeat the "Evil Syndicate" and destroy the Doomsday Device.

[edit] Gameplay
A player can play with three computers and no other human players, or with a friend or two with the remaining computer(s). One can switch abilities, which have multiple uses. For example, if four people are playing, a path full of enemies could be crossed with Danny's "Ghostly Wail", Spongebob's "Bubble Bombs", Jimmy's "Quartback Gear", and Timmy's "Healing Melody".
The difficulty and length of the game becomes greater with multiple human players. If there is at least one computer, a certain button can be used to Regroup with computerized team member(s).
There are also things only a certain character can do. For example, SpongeBob is needed to blow up a pillar, Danny is needed to "Ghostly Wail" on some glass, Timmy is needed to freeze some water, or Jimmy has to shoot down some things with his "Flare Gun".
At one point of the game, the player has to cross over a hole with Danny, who can hover when in "Phase Shift", and then have SpongeBob toss over a "Bubble Bomb". Danny must then pick it up, and throw it at a crack in the wall to find a lever. This is extremely difficult when done alone.
Goddard can be found in all four worlds so he can upgrade the players weapons and abilities.

[edit] Nickelodeon Cross Save Bonuses
These bonuses can be unlocked by saving Tak: The Great Juju Challenge, SpongeBob SquarePants: Lights, Camera, Pants!, and Barnyard.

- The third bonus is various cheats for the game that can be turned on or off.
[edit] Trivia
- SpongeBob can breathe on land thanks to Jimmy's Neutronic Moisturizer. Although he could breathe on land earlier in episode Pressure and temporarily in SpongeBob SquarePants Movie but he couldn't breathe at Sandy's Treedome (full of air) in episodes Tea at the Treedome and Squirrel Jokes.
- This isn't the first time when Jimmy meets Timmy. They already met themselves three times in Jimmy Timmy Power Hour Trilogy.
- This is the second time Crocker is in Fairy World and takes over it. This is also the second time he's wearing his suit. The first time was in the first Jimmy Timmy Power Hour. The only difference is that in Jimmy Timmy Power Hour he damaged the Big Wand causing all fairies to lost their magic and he had to fight with Jimmy Neutron, while in Nicktoons Unite! he was only draining power from the Big Wand to feed the Doomsday Machine and he had to fight with all four Nicktoons.
- Gary the Snail, Sam Manson, Tucker Foley, Sandy Cheeks, Patrick Star, Jorgen Von Strangle, DoodleBob (SpongeBob's drawing which came to life in SpongeBob's episode Frankendoodle) and Cindy Vortex make a cameo appearance in PlayStation 2 and GameCube version of this game.
- Nega Timmy and Jimmy's nano controlled pants appear in GameBoy Advance version of this game.
