'''''Scribblenauts''''' is a pair of physics-based [[Puzzle Game|puzzle games]] for the [[Nintendo DS]], developed by 5th Cell Interactive and published by [[Warner Bros]].
 
You are Maxwell. You want to get the [[MacGuffin|Starite]]. (What's a Starite? Well, a shiny [[Star-Shaped Coupon|star-shaped]] thing, of course.) You have to figure out how to get the Starite. In order to get the Starite, you need to use the tools at your disposal to reach it.
Line 43:
* [[Ambulance Chaser]]: ''Lawyer'' is attracted to ''Ambulance''
* [[Art Attacker]]: The player's modus operandi.
* [[Ascended Meme]]: After seeing [http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=16184727=217 the NeoGAF post], the devs added "Feep" and "Post Two-One-Seven" to the in-game dictionary. And made Feep's experience into [https://web.archive.org/web/20110607012142/http://ds.ign.com/dor/objects/14304256/scribblenauts/images/scribblenauts-20090615060345371.html a desktop wallpaper].
** Typing "Post Two-One-Seven" (or some spelling variation of that) summons a billboard version of the wallpaper... {{spoiler|which then acts as a nuke.}}
* [[Attack! Attack! Attack!]]: Give Maxwell any non-projectile weapon (swords, baseball bats, crowbars, ''Death's scythes''... you get the idea) and then send him to attack any target (living or not, hostile or not). He'll keep hitting it until one of them dies.
Line 161:
** [[Department of Redundancy Department|Doubling the "giant" adjective]] yields a [[Up to Eleven|ridiculously]] [[Attack of the 50-Foot Whatever|oversized]] variant.
* [[Glass Cannon]]: Edison. Very powerful (he can one-hit kill Maxwell in sandbox mode), but takes only one hit before dying.
* [[God]]: The game considersfollows Merriam-webster's lead in considering this a synonym for "deity". Yes, you can summon a [[Grandpa God]].
** So is Goddess.
** God seems to function as a [[Incredibly Lame Pun|God mode]] - he can solve most combat-oriented problems with ease.
Line 181:
** That said, laser guns provide a useful [[One-Hit Kill]], though they only have one shot, and Freeze Rays [[Human Popsicle|freeze the target in a block of ice]], rendering it harmless [[Harmless Freezing|without harming or killing it]], useful to circumvent enemies [[Thou Shalt Not Kill|you aren't allowed to simply murder]].
** Maxwell has infinite ammo too in the sequel.
* [[Hand Cannon]]: While typing in "Hand Cannon" provides [[wikipedia:Hand cannon|an early firearm]], typing in "Gyrojet" yields a pistol ''as big as Maxwell'' which fires ''exploding ammo''. That's right, folks, they put a [[Warhammer 4000040,000|bolter]] in.
** Actually, [[wikipedia:gyrojet|such a thing exists]].
** Try typing in "barrel gun". The resulting pistol's barrel is as big as Maxwell's head.
Line 257:
** I SEE WHAT YOU DID THERE (Summons a shifty-eyed boy)
*** Also, [[LOLcats|a walrus will defend any bucket in sight.]]
*** And the game's gotten its own mutation: [http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=16184727&postcount=217 a guy called "Feep" posted his experience with the game] on NeoGAF (post #217 in their Scribblenauts thread), which has been [https://web.archive.org/web/20091221041409/http://www.britishgaming.co.uk/2009/06/scribblenauts_e3/ passed around] the web a bit.
*** The ESRB rating summary, which says that a player could [[Video Game Cruelty Potential|theoretically]] "[[Dead Baby Comedy|attach steaks to babies to attract a lion]]," has also gained a small following.
** Even Anonymous is in this game. Why do I think the developers spend time on 4chan?
Line 326:
** There are levels themed after ''[[BioShock (series)]]'', ''[[The Wizard of Oz (film)|The Wizard of Oz]]'' and ''[[Back to The Future]]''.
** One level has you retrieving a pirate's pocket watch. There are multiple treasure chests about, a crocodile, and a hidden puffer fish. Where is the pocket watch? [[Peter Pan|Inside the croc]].
** Wizards and dwarves [[The Hobbit (novel)|defend]] [[The Lord of the Rings|any]] [[Hobbits|halflings]] in sight.
*** In the same vein, halflings will defend [[Ring of Power|any rings in sight]]. If you take the ring, they instantly either attack you or angrily follow you around depending on if they have a weapon or not.
** Chimpanzees are very interested in [[2001: A Space Odyssey|monoliths]].
** [[I Heart Huckabees|I heart nuckelavees!]]
** Don't forget the awesome ''[[Pac-Man]]'' level.
** Summon an archaeologist, and you will get someone who resemble [[Indiana Jones|a certain]] [[Adventurer Archaeologist]], complete with a habit to pick up a whip from the ground if they see one.
Line 344:
** Another level shout out, though in the sequel, mainly to the [[Super Mario Bros.]].
** Typing "President" summons an [[Barack Obama|African American one]].
** Typing "Mask" in the second game will lead you to two options: "Mask (Fun)" and "Mask (Beauty)". The first one summons a [[V for Vendetta|Guy Fawkes]] [[Four Chan4chan|mask]].
** In Super Scribblenauts, typing "cable guy" will get you [[Larry the Cable Guy|a bearded man wearing jeans, a baseball cap, a vest, and no shirt]].
** Summon a hedgehog and a ring. The hedgehog will run after the ring... [[Sonic the Hedgehog|Sounds familiar?]]
** Typing "Burning Man" will summon a [https://web.archive.org/web/20130517084019/http://www.learner.org/courses/globalart/work/87/index.html giant wooden effigy].
* [[Shown Their Work]]: A kappa will eat [[Trademark Favourite Food|cucumber]]. In the sequel, they also get the friendly adjective.
* [[Somewhere a Palaeontologist Is Crying]]:
Line 400:
** Apparently, gaining control of adjectives gives you immunity to them, meaning paint, Medusa head, and Shrink Ray won't work on you anymore.
* [[Western Terrorists]]: What you summon when you type in "Terrorist," "[[Bomb-Throwing Anarchists|Anarchist]]," "Arsonist," or "Madman."
* [[What Measure Is a Non-Human?]]: The 'clone' will not become infected by a zombie. Something of ana case of [[Unfortunate ImplicationImplications]].
* [[Wholesome Crossdresser]]: Maxwell isn't shy about wearing women's clothing. Or babies' clothing. Or... anyone's clothing, really.
* [[Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?]]: Pegasus is afraid of dolls.
Line 407:
* [[With This Herring]]: Completely and utterly avoided. There's no such thing as "low-level equipment" when you've got ''everything'', after all.<ref>It is unlikely that you have the capability to [[Monty Python and the Holy Grail|cut down a tree]]</ref> [[With This Herring]], but then again, see [[The Dev Team Thinks of Everything|all the]] [[Shout-Out|Shout Outs]] [[The Dev Team Thinks of Everything|above]]...{{spoiler|For the record, you can't.}} <ref>Unless, that is, you use a long, deadly fish in the sequel...</ref>
* [[Writing Around Trademarks]]: "Taser", "frisbee", and "lightsaber" are not in the dictionary whereas "stun gun", "flying disc" and "laser sword" are.
* [[:Category:Yandere|Yandere]]: Summon a "girlfriend" or "[[All Guys Want Cheerleaders|cheerleader]]". Then summon a "psycho" or "stalker". Notice the similarities, yet ''notice [[Knife Nut|the difference]]''.
* [[Your Mom]]: Note that just "Mom" summons a normal woman whereas "'''Your''' Mom" summons {{spoiler|a zombie}}. Hmmmm...
 
Line 424:
** Also, trying summoning a "Fertile Female" whatever and place it next to a "Male" of the same species.
*** It doesn't even have to be a female. [[Has Two Mommies|Two guys or two girls can and will have children if one of them is fertile.]]
* [[Game Breaking Bug]]: A bug sometimes occurs, in which Maxwell randomly ascends to the skies and never comes down. This renders the sandbox mode (arguably [[Sidetracked Byby the GoldenGold Saucer|the best part of the game]]) unplayable.
* [[Gay Option]]: In one of the levels, Maxwell has to but presents for each of his parents and his girlfriend, based on the objects they have in their rooms. [[Les Yay|And if you switch to a female avatar...]]
* [[Guide Dang It]]: To get the final merit, you must "apply the [[Guide Dang It|secret]] Super Scribblenauts adjective". The only clue is that the merit is called "The Fourth Wall". {{spoiler|The adjective is Scribblenautical if you were wondering. It gives everything the rooster hat.}}
