** The campaign mode in ''2'' accounts for Garfield's ThoughtSpeak (which human and human-like characters cannot hear), and Clockwork and Vlad's respective dialogue to him is changed accordingly in their interactions with the fat cat across the campaign mode.

* CatchAndReturn: All fighters have the ability to use their grab to catch projectiles, hold them while walking and jumping around, and throw them back at opponents.

* PowerCreepPowerSeep: For just two examples, Danny Phantom (a superhero) and Lincoln Loud (a normal grade-school kid) are both playable characters. As expected from their source material, Danny is seen using his ghost powers like an ectoplasmic blast, while Lincoln carries around an ordinary yo-yo among his toolset. They can duke it out with each other nonetheless.

** [[WesternAnimation/JimmyNeutronBoyGenius Jimmy Neutron's Girl-Eating Plant]] appears as an early game enemy in ''2'''s campaign mode. In the movie, it exclusively attacks girls, hence the name; here, it attacks fighters regardless of gender.

A sequel, ''Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl 2'', was announced in July 2023, set to feature new characters, stages, updated graphics, and a campaign mode. It was released on November 7th, 2023[[note]]on digital storefronts; physical copies were released on December 1st[[/note]] for the same platforms as the original game.

!!''Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl'' provides examples of:

* Easter egg: When selecting El Tigre in ''2'', there's a chance that the announcer will call him by his OverlyLongName.

* TauntButton: In the first game, every character has their own unique taunt. In addition, by pressing the taunt button in the air, your character will be sent into a tumbling state with a squeaky sound effect. The Rocko update added additional taunts that can be performed by taunting while holding the strafe button, though not every character has an alternate taunt[[note]]Those who do are Lincoln, Lucy, Zim, [=CatDog=], Nigel, Helga, Danny, Jenny, Hugh, and Rocko.[[/note]] In the second game, every character has multiple taunts.

* TheCameo: Most of the stages have background cameos from other characters, including [[WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants Gary on Jellyfish Fields]], [[WesternAnimation/TheLoudHouse Lynn, Lola, and Lily on The Loud House]], [[WesternAnimation/{{CatDog}} Winslow on CatDog's House]], [[WesternAnimation/TheRenAndStimpyShow Mr. Horse on Space Madness]], and [[WesternAnimation/{{Rugrats}} Grandpa Lou on Teeter-Totter Gulch]].

The games pit various characters from various eras of the Franchise/{{Nicktoons}} franchise against each other in a brawl, from classic fare like ''WesternAnimation/{{Rugrats}}'' and ''WesternAnimation/TheRenAndStimpyShow'' to more modern shows like ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender'' and ''WesternAnimation/TheLoudHouse''. The first game launched with 20 characters and stages, along with an arcade mode and a multiplayer mode supporting up to four players, with more characters and stages being added through free updates and as paid DLC. It was released on UsefulNotes/NintendoSwitch, UsefulNotes/PlayStation5, UsefulNotes/PlayStation4, UsefulNotes/XboxOne, UsefulNotes/XboxSeriesXAndS, and [[UsefulNotes/MicrosoftWindows PC]] (via UsefulNotes/{{Steam}}) on October 5th, 2021.

* MirrorMatch: At launch, the first game lacked alternate costumes, taking mirror matches to their logical extreme; all characters playing as the same fighter look identical. A future patch added alternate costumes, but only one per character, which means fighters can still look identical if two or more of the same are present. The second game remedies this by having multiple alternate costumes per character.

** ''WesternAnimation/TheLoudHouse'': Averted in the first game with Lincoln and Lucy being playable, but played straighter in the second with Lucy returning but Lincoln being reduced to a cameo.

*** ''WesternAnimation/TheRenAndStimpyShow'': Powdered Toast Man was revealed in the initial game announcement without Ren and Stimpy in sight, but Ren and Stimpy were revealed at a later date regardless.

** '''How Tough Are Ya?''': Campaign only. HarderThanHard, represented with an icon of [[Recap/SpongeBobSquarePantsS3E8NoWeeniesAllowedSquilliamReturns the Salty Spitoon bouncer]].

* CrisisCrossover: The campaign mode for ''2'' pits the main cast of fighters against WesternAnimation/DannyPhantom BigBad Vlad Plasmius with different contexts given to the dialogue depending on which character interacts with the story's NPCs.

* ShownTheirWork: The devs did a lot of research for each of the movesets, rivaling the ''Smash'' devs in that front, adding tons of accurate references to each of the characters' movesets and animations, as well as references to each of their own series in general.

** '''Unstoppable Force''': Arcade only. Hard [[OneHitPointWonder with a one-stock-only handicap]], represented with an icon on [[WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfKorra Korra]].

** Powdered Toast Man's stage, "Powdered Toast Trouble", [[MacroZone shrinks down the brawlers]] so they can fight on top of various food items on a kitchen counter, including a bowl of cereal (that they can drown in), a piece of cheese, and toast in a toaster.

** The "Powdered Toast Trouble" stage is a giant kitchen where the fighters brawl on the countertop. Obstacles include toast popping out of a toaster, a bowl of cereal with milk, and a hot frying pan with bacon and eggs.

* BigBad: According to IGN's writeup, [[WesternAnimation/DannyPhantom Vlad Plasmius]] serves as the primary villain of ''All-Star Brawl 2''[='s=] single player mode; the goal is to stop him from taking over the entire Nickelodeon universe.

** '''Unstoppable Force''': HarderThanHard, represented with an icon of [[WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfKorra Korra]].

** Some mind-controlled brawlers have special lines when you have certain bonuses equipped. For example, normally Rocko makes an empowered speech... unless you have the "Stinky Fantasy" power-up[[note]]A ''WesternAnimation/TheRenAmdStimpyShow'' themed power-up [[PowerAtAPrice which grants poison damage to all attacks in exchange for receiving 100% damage on your current stock]][[/note]], in which case he asks you when the last time you took a bath was.

* NoPlotNoProblem: In the first game, there is no setup or ExcusePlot for multiple Nickelodeon characters to fight each other, even in the arcade mode.

** ''WesternAnimation/{{Rugrats}}'': Reptar, the star of the series' ShowWithinAShow, is playable while none of the titular babies are.

* SpotlightStealingCrossover: The game has a noticeable emphasis on ''WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants'' and ''WesternAnimation/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles1987'' content, with both series having three characters in the first game at launch (with the latter getting a fourth character in [[BigBad Shredder]] later on) with all the associated content each one gets (particularly {{Home Stage}}s, extras and profile pictures) compared to every other series having only one or two characters instead. The ''Avatar'' universe also toes the line, as it has two characters from ''[[WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender The Last Airbender]]'' and one character from its [[WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfKorra sequel series]], meaning the franchise as a whole gets a lot of representation as well.
