If you're feeling less than creative, you can always opt to use the available templates that are based on various characters from the show, which you can then trace over to get some semblance of familiarity going. It's basically a bad-tempered, crudely drawn version of SpongeBob, and this time, you've been tasked with drawing your own creation to help stop DoodleBob.Īs Drawn to Life: SpongeBob SquarePants begins, you're given the tools to do the job, allowing you to draw your creation (within certain parameters) using various colors and features. Instead, Patrick has accidentally brought the nefarious DoodleBob back to life, which, if you've seen the cartoon, was a drawn creation that brought havoc to the town of Bikini Bottom. In this version of Drawn to Life, you don't actually take on the role of SpongeBob.
#Doodlebob and the magic pencil all bosses license
The SpongeBob version of this game doesn't really improve on the formula, other than giving players a recognizable license to attach to it, but it's hard to deny that it feels unique compared to other DS platformers on the market, and the idea of being able to draw your own protagonist is super-satisfying.

Instead, this is built upon the excellent Drawn to Life title that released earlier in the year, wherein players create their own character using a set of in-game tools, which took your creation, animated it, and used it throughout the game, combining a pretty solid platforming experience along the way. However, Drawn to Life: SpongeBob SquarePants is a far, far different title from the usual offering that holds the SpongeBob license.

It's far too excessive, especially considering how they all tend to play the same or use the same engine and visuals, only with a slightly different setting. I'm not really the biggest fan of the Nicktoons-related cashing in that THQ does every year, with the various flavors of SpongeBob SquarePants-, Jimmy Neutron- and Danny Phantom-related DS games, along with a title for just about every other related character.
