2 Games In 1: The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie + SpongeBob SquarePants and Friends in Freeze Frame Frenzy

Nicktoons: Freeze Frame Frenzy is a side-scrolling picture-taking game involving characters from various Nickelodeon cartoons such as The Fairly OddParents, Spongebob Squarepants, Danny Phantom, and Rocket Power. An unknown antagonist has begun scrambling the different universes of the Nicktoons, characters being flung into each other’s worlds as robotic copies try to integrate into their societies during the chaos. Assuming the role of one of the main characters from the represented franchises, players are instructed by Jimmy Neutron to head to the worlds of the Nicktoons and use a specially designed camera to return characters to their home dimensions while also finding and defeating the robot doppelgangers. Players are able to move their chosen character around a set walking area to avoid hazards and get better angles for their free-moving camera cursor. Taking pictures of objects in the environment can reveal characters, and many characters require repeated snapshots to perform actions or return to their home dimension. Each level has a score threshold that needs to be beaten by taking pictures of characters and interesting sights, with many smaller side objectives like photographing a specific interaction between characters providing point bonuses if they’re completed. Boss fights also cap off each world where players must survive attacks and snap three good shots of the robot duplicates.
