OMG you guys! 😱 As a die-hard platform fighter fan, I've been low-key obsessed with Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl since the first game dropped in 2021. That initial rush of playing as SpongeBob and Aang was EVERYTHING… but let’s be real, it had issues. Missing features? Check. Absent fan-favorite characters? Double check. So when GameMill teased a sequel this year, I nearly choked on my slushie! Fast forward to now, and the hype train is FULL SPEED AHEAD with Plankton’s reveal 🚂💨

🤯 Plankton’s Mech Madness Stole My Heart

When I saw that gameplay trailer from GamersPrey, I legit screamed! Plankton isn’t just here—he’s PILOTING A TANK ROBOT WITH KETCHUP BOTTLE GUNS?! The way his lil’ antenna transforms into a propeller for aerial combat? Genius 💡 And Karen (his computer wife) popping up to assist? ICONIC duo energy 👩‍❤️‍👨💻 The devs made his mech SO expressive—you still feel like you’re controlling Plankton himself, not just some clunky machine. The YouTube comments? Flooded with hype like:

• "The attention to detail is INSANE" 👏

• "They’re actually fixing the first game’s flaws!" 🙌

🌟 New Faces & Rumor Mill Spills

Plankton isn’t fighting solo though! He’s joining fellow newbies:

• 🎺 Squidward Tentacles (finally! Clarinet smash attacks incoming?)

• 🧠 Jimmy Neutron (brain blasts guaranteed!)

But wait—the rumor mill’s buzzing about El Tigre possibly joining too! If that happens? This roster might dethrone my other platform fighter obsessions 🥊

⚙️ Game-Changing Mechanics Got Me Shook

Remember how janky shielding felt in the first game? At EVO’s showcase, they revealed MASSIVE upgrades:

Feature	What’s New	Why I Care
🛡️ Defense System	Overhauled shielding & dodging	No more accidental SDs!
💚 Slime Meter	Fill it to amp special moves	Strategic resource management!
🎮 Campaign Mode	Full story mode (FINALLY!)	Solo players unite!
🔓 Unlockables	More costumes, stages, etc.	Grind = rewarded!

That Slime Meter especially? It’s like a mini power-up system mid-match—do you save it for a killer finisher or use it to escape combos? Decisions, decisions…

🕹️ Why This Sequel Might Just Win 2025

No cap—the first game felt like a beta test. But with:

• Nostalgia-bait roster updates 🧽✨

• Legit single-player content via campaign mode 🎭

• Buttery-smooth mechanics 🔥

This could be THE crossover fighter to beat! Sure, we’re still waiting on that release date (coming to Switch/PC/PS/Xbox), but my hype meter’s already at 💯

So yeah… I’ll be maining Plankton day one while spamming ketchup guns. Catch these hands, Squidward! 🔫💥 What about you? Which Nick character are YOU hoping for next? Sound off below! 👇
