Each character also has one special move that can be activated only by picking up a power-up. SpongeBob can float up to high areas using a big bubble and can shoot bubbles that damage enemies Danny Phantom can phase through solid objects and shoot plasma bursts Timmy can disguise himself as a bush to hide from enemies and can call down his fairy godparents to slow down any potential foes and Jimmy Neutron can use the one-two punch of a flying jetpack and a shrink ray. Each character has its own abilities that you can use to get through a level. Each hero occupies a corner of the touch screen, and all you have to do to switch between them is use the stylus to drag and drop a character's icon into the center section. You can only play as one hero at a time, but you can switch between them on the fly by means of the touch screen. Indeed, you can play as the four Nicktoon heroes throughout Nicktoons Unite!'s relatively brief adventure. SpongeBob's back, and this time he's got a posse. Certainly some members of the younger set will squeal with glee at the thought of being able to control SpongeBob SquarePants, Danny Phantom, Timmy Turner, and Jimmy Neutron all in one game, but once they get their hands on this decidedly lackluster platformer and its lousy controls, that delight will quickly turn into frustration and boredom. On the scale of big-time celebrity team-ups, the coming together of four of Nickelodeon's top cartoon heroes under the banner of a single game in Nicktoons Unite! ranks somewhere between Power Man and Iron Fist teaming up to fight crime and Elton John, Dionne Warwick, Stevie Wonder, and Gladys Knight getting together to sing "That's What Friends Are For"-that is to say, it isn't very good, feels more than a little forced, and does next to nothing that hasn't been done better elsewhere.
