Nickelodeon has released many cartoons, commonly referred to as Nicktoons, throughout the years. With so many animated shows came a load of imaginative characters like SpongeBob SquarePants and Danny Phantom. Thus, it made sense to bring these distinct characters into Nickelodeon's fighting game, Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl.
Although a number of fan favorites like Danny Phantom and Avatar Aang made it into the game, many fans note that the game's roster is lacking. Many iconic characters like Timmy Turner and Jimmy Neutron aren't playable, even though they have proven to be ideal choices for a fighting game.
10 Dib Is A Memorable Protagonist
Invader Zim
While Invader Zim's Zim and Gir appear in Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl, the other protagonist, Dib Membrane, doesn't. Dib is arguably just as important to the show as Zim is, so he deserves a spot in All-Star Brawl's roster.
In Invader Zim, Dib had proven many times that he was capable of holding his own, defending Earth on multiple occasions from Zim and other threats. Dib is also highly intelligent, with technology that can assist him in battle and create some unique attacks in All-Star Brawl.
9 Silver Shell Was A Cool Alter Ego
My Life as a Teenage Robot
In My Life as a Teenage Robot, the character Sheldon Oswald Lee is a mechanical genius and has a huge crush on Jenny. Unbeknownst to her, Sheldon created an alter ego named the Silver Shell, a robot superhero whom Jenny developed a crush on.
Sheldon, as the Silver Shell, is a capable fighter, able to help Jenny fight crime. He would be a great character in Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl with his own array of gadgets and robotic abilities. Silver Shell's strength would also make him great for close combat, and his durability would make him withstand powerful attacks.
8 Arnold Isn't A Fighter, But He's A '90s Icon
Hey Arnold!
Arnold Shortman from Hey Arnold! is one of the nicest Nicktoons characters, always ready to help others out. Although he isn't a fighter or bruiser like Helga Pataki, Arnold deserves to be playable in Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl.
It would've been humorous to see pacifist Arnold fighting against the likes of Shredder or SpongeBob SquarePants. Arnold's appearance would've also made many '90s kids ecstatic, reminding them of their childhoods. Since Hey Arnold! also received another film in 2017, Arnold being playable would've also made many modern Nickelodeon fans happy.
7 Vlad Plasmius Is Danny Phantom's Archenemy
Danny Phanton
Vlad Plasmius is Danny Phantom's archenemy in the action show Danny Phantom. Vlad is notable for having a wide array of superpowers, including teleportation and the ability to make clones of himself.
With Vlad's sheer amount of powers, it's a shame that he didn't appear as a playable character in All-Star Brawl. He easily could've been one of the most powerful characters in the game and a great rival character for Danny Phantom. Vlad would've also helped add more villains into the game, pleasing both Danny Phantom fans and Nickelodeon fans in general.
6 Jimmy Neutron Has Many Inventions & A Superhero Form
The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius
The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius is a huge staple of many people's childhoods and early Nicktoon shows. The title character Jimmy Neutron was also a recurring character in many Nickelodeon-crossover games, including the Nicktoons Unite! video game series.
Shockingly, Jimmy doesn't appear in All-Star Brawl, but his father, Hugh Neutron, does. Jimmy deserves better and has many iconic inventions that would've made awesome attacks in the fighting game. Jimmy also has a cool superhero form based on the Hulk that could've also been playable in All-Star Brawl.
5 El Tigre Has Unique Superpowers
El Tigre: The Adventures of Manny Rivera
The character El Tigre, also known as Manny Rivera, is a distinctive Nickelodeon character from El Tigre: The Adventures of Manny Rivera. Undecided between hero or villain, El Tigre has mystical, tiger-related powers that give him an edge over his enemies.
El Tigre's abilities would've given him some of the best and most unique movesets in Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl. He could've had many claw attacks for both close and long-range combat, possibly even inspired by his stand-alone game on the Nintendo DS. Manny Rivera is also very expressive and thus could've gotten some memorable character animations in All-Star Brawl.
4 Tak Is A Clever Villain
Invader Zim
Tak left a big impression on fans of Invader Zim, marking herself as one of the show's best antagonists. She is incredibly smart, can build deadly technology, and has an efficient robot fighter named Mimi.
With Tak's machines and Mimi, Tak could've been one of the best fighters in All-Star Brawl. She and Mimi could've been similar to Zim and his assistant, Gir, but with their own traits and twists to help them stand strongly on their own. It also would've been fun to see Tak's AI-controlled ship make a return in the game, harking back to its plot relevance in Invader Zim.
3 Tak Has Magical Powers & First Appeared In A Video Game
Tak and the Power of Juju
Although Tak and the Power of Juju isn't a popular Nicktoon show, the franchise is nonetheless a part of many people's childhoods. In contrast to other Nickelodeon series, the Tak franchise was first released as a video game.
The character Tak has appeared in several video games, both from his own series and in Nicktoons crossover games. With a notable gaming history, it would've been cool to see Tak make a comeback in Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl; the character could've utilized his magical abilities from both his TV and video game series.
2 Timmy Turner Is Too Iconic Not To Be In The Game
The Fairly Oddparents
Not having Timmy Turner from The Fairly Oddparents is one of Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl's worst mistakes. He deserves better than to be left out of the game because he has been one of the most iconic Nickelodeon characters since the '90s.
Timmy has had many alter egos, each with special abilities, such as the superhero Cleft the Boy Chin Wonder. Timmy's identities are so distinct that they can all be separate characters in their own right, similar to Mario and Dr. Mario from the Super Smash Bros. series. All-Star Brawl could've also brought back some of Timmy's powers from Nicktoons Unite!, such as the Starflinger or Frozen Glove.
1 The Crimson Chin Is Charismatic
The Fairly Oddparents
A playful satire on comic book superheroes, the Crimson Chin was a great character in The Fairly OddParents. He had a charismatic voice, awesome stories, and an iconic costume that made him a staple of the show. As a comic book superhero, the Crimson Chin was one of the most powerful characters in The Fairly OddParents.
The Crimson Chin could've been one of the best characters in Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl, thanks to his various abilities, such as heat vision, flight, and super speed. He also would've been a welcome surprise for many '90s and early 2000s kids with nostalgia for early Fairly OddParents.
