SpongeBob SquarePants featuring Nicktoons: Globs of Doom

Overview

SpongeBob SquarePants Featuring Nicktoons: Globs of Doom, also known as SpongeBob SquarePants: Globs of Doom, or Nicktoons: Globs of Doom, is a 2008 action-adventure video game, it is a sequel to the 2007 video game Nicktoons: Attack of the Toybots, and the fourth and final installment in the Nicktoons Unite! series. Characters from The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron, Boy Genius, Danny Phantom, SpongeBob SquarePants, Invader Zim, and Tak and the Power of Juju appear. The original developers of the previous games for consoles, Blue Tongue Entertainment, did not return to create this installment.

SpongeBob SquarePants Featuring Nicktoons: Globs of Doom is an action-adventure platforming game in which players take control of Nicktoons characters. The game is split into 6 worlds: Bikini Bottom, Zim's Town, Amity Park, Retroville, Pupununu Village, and Outer Space. Players use special Mawgu enhanced weapons to battle enemies, each with their own unique features.

SpongeBob and Squidward's usual walk to work is disrupted when huge orange asteroids start raining down on Bikini Bottom. A chunk of goo falls on Squidward, causing him to be brainwashed by an alien creature called a Morphoid. He chases SpongeBob and Patrick like a zombie until Jimmy Neutron intervenes and takes them to the Mawgu Lair on Volcano Island. There they meet Danny Phantom, Tak, and a newly formed Evil Syndicate composed of Technus, Beautiful Gorgeous, Tlaloc, and Plankton. Zim and Dib arrive, with Zim joining the heroes because he is "curious", and Dib joining the Syndicate to not be on Zim's side.

The music of Globs of Doom was composed by Todd Masten. Masten noted that the story of the game had a "real 1950s sci-fi feel" and thus incorporated the theremin into many of the game's tracks. Masten based most of the game's music on the existing franchise music but took several liberties including the use of heavy techno instruments in the scenes of the characters leaving the world and heading into space. Masten worked to give each environment and boss encounter a unique feel to help "build suspense and tension". Masten worked 7/4 sections into the main theme to "mix things up a bit".
