Quick, hide the Krabby Patty secret formula!
Plankton has been revealed as one of the new fighters coming to Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl 2!
Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl 2 just had its big gameplay debut at EVO 2023 and, beyond revealing some of the new mechanics that are coming to the game, a brand-new fighter was also confirmed - Plankton from SpongeBob SquarePants. Plankton might seem like a strange pick considering his size, but he fittingly fights in a mech suit that's decked out with a bunch of gadgets.
As you can see from the gameplay video shared by YouTuber GamersPrey, Plankton fights using a big mech suit that lets him tower above SpongeBob and Patrick. His moveset appears to consist of using ketchup bottles, his massive mech fists, a hovering head that acts like a glider, and a whole ton of explosions. It looks like size isn't going to be an issue for Plankton anymore. He can shoot projectiles straight ahead or up from the sauce bottles on his arm, and he's also shown to have a charge attack, propeller recovery, and what looks to be a command grab.
Plankton's reveal trailer features Mr. Krabs' rival piloting a mech suit before putting a beating on his opponents using ketchup-based attacks, his wife Karen (who also happens to be a computer), and lasers. You can still see — and hear — the aquatic microorganism as he barks threats and steers his mech using its antennae. Plankton's inclusion in the game lends further cadence to a supposed leak that predicted his inclusion in the game as one of its new combatants.
Set to release sometime later this year, this sequel promises to fix some of the original's biggest issues, like the game's lack of voice acting and relatively shallow mechanics compared to other titans of the genre like Super Smash Bros., Rivals of Aether, and Multiversus.
As part of EVO's Industry Showcase, publisher Game Mill Entertainment and developers Ludosity and Fairplay Labs also teamed up with Juan "Hungrybox" DeBiedma to break down some of the new mechanics that are being added to the upcoming platform fighter. The breakdown revealed some groundbreaking new mechanics, including overhauls to All-Star Brawl's shielding and dodging mechanics, as well as the new Slime Meter.
Nick Brawl 2 now includes a Slime meter with three stocks that is used for a multitude of new options including enhanced EX specials,
Hearkening back to Nickelodeon's iconic green goo, characters are able to build up their slime meter by attacking their opponents or taking damage before using it to augment any number of moves. Players can use Slime to extend dodges, escape combos, strengthen special attacks, or unleash a super move. New Slime Meter moves include Slime Burst, Slime Canceling, and Slime air dash.
While the game doesn't currently have a firm release date, we're likely to hear more about it in the coming weeks, since it's supposed to come out later this year.
