Really enjoyed this game. They did a great job with it. The roster is very good. Each character feels very unique with their own movesets and specials. I enjoy how in character every character was in the story mode. Story may not be the best but it is good. Game is designed well. Stages are very good. They did a good job with the movesets with these characters.

Enemy AI can be very annoying at times ngl. The first person sections are very bad. That protect Cheese (character from Foster's) section of the game was so damn annoying.

Overall, a very great smash clone and a great game for any Cartoon Network fans. Gameplay was design well. Characters control well and have great movesets. This game is definitely perfect for any fans of Cartoon Network.

Was this game better than Smash Bros? No. But was it a good game on its own? ...No.

Ok, I’m doing this again to make a point to @SannicFann. Yes I gave this a 5 stars but I know this games is fundamentally bad, unlike with you and hot tub time machine I can agree that Cartoon Network punch time explosion is a objectively bad game. I give it a 5 stars because it’s funny to play and it’s funny to put it up here. We are not the same

this game is kind of unironically my favorite platform fighter. the level design is awful and half the maps you can get one shot by some random stage (power puff girls map) effect but that's why I love it. almost everything in the game is stupid overpowered and that's why its fun. I've had more fun playing this stupid ass game than I ever have playing smash bros.

This game walked so NASB could run


pa que juegas a esto si tienes el smash brawl

This shit is just dumb fun and I hate to say I had more fun with the Story Mode than I did Smash Ultimate's World of Light.

Played the Story Mode in 2 Player with a buddy and we had a blast at how funny and jank it all was. It's a short and goofy playthrough with a friend. I also liked how the Story worked in enemies and worlds across all these shows.

As an actual platform fighter it misses so much on what makes one good, the potential was there though. I hope some studio out there tries this again someday with all these Cartoon Network IP at the helm.

It's jank, it's unpolished, and all around not a fun game to play, especially alone (learned that the hard way). But in all honesty, you not only can do so much worse than this, you can also derive some ironic enjoyment out of it. The true highlight is the unlockable clips of the various Cartoon Network shows represented, as these often give explanations for Supers, alternate costumes, etc.

Overall, still a better WB plat-fighter than Multiversus.

I won’t compare this to Nick All-Star Brawl yet because that game’s sequel is still on the way… but it’s better than Smash Ultimate.
I’m not joking. Singleplayer content matters.

it's bullshit at times even broken but that's what makes it fun

This game's combat speed was slow as dirt. So slow that it made Super Smash Bros. Brawl look like Melee with a Turbo Mode mod by comparison.

Stiff gameplay, but me and my lil bro played the hell out of. Lots of love from extras and characters, but lack of voice acting drags all of it down. Doesn't feel right and is just one of those annoying things to expect from cartoon games.

*happy to say it was 100% achievemented by me and lil bro

Just a mediocre Smash clone that could have been great if it had better devs and a bigger budget. The roster is pretty good but it is still missing a handful of characters that deserved to be included like the Eds, Finn & Jake, and Courage. Story mode is basically just Subspace Emissary from Brawl but worse and way easier. Not really worth getting unless PSN still has this game available for $1.

can't play as Toiletnator in any other platform fighter

(This is part of a series of party game reviews for party games that I messed around with alongside a good friend in a weekend. I'm writing them with time inbetween each review to avoid flooding so I can still have friends after this.)

This was the last game that my friend and I tackled before he had to head back to the airport, and it was... certainly a fair and balanced Smash clone, to say the least.

I think the biggest problem is the lack of impact with your attacks. Smash games and good Smash clones like Slap City and Rivals of Aether have very satisfying sound effects and vibrations when you land successful hits upon your opponents, and that is sorely missing in CNPTE. Hitboxes feel a bit strange too, and I can't quite put my finger on why. There's also the strange design choice of not having invincibility while rolling (this was testing by my friend and it blew his mind), and movement feels kind of sluggish unfortunately; in my opinion, you don't have to make your characters have fast dashes, but if not, then there needs to be a more advanced movement tech that lets you traverse the ground more effectively. Aerial drift feels pretty stagnant, so it's really really easy to just shark opponents for an eternity and a half and this slows down gameplay a ton. Because finally, the magnifying glass works very strangely and seems somewhat inconsistent; sometimes I'd get KOed at fairly reasonable percentages, but most of the time, my friend and I would live up to absurd percentages because we'd fly into the magnifying glass but just not die due to the blinking skull not activating. Imagine a match where characters routinely lived to beyond 200% because an up air refused to kill opponents off the top. That's CNPTE in a nutshell.

Having said that, there is a part of me that found a lot of ironic fun in this game, spamming every character option to find out what was the most broken technique in the game (and there are a lot of busted characters). I would have done more research, but needless to say, my CNPTE career was ended prematurely by my friend wobbling me with Samurai Jack's side special. Perhaps we'll come back to it in a few months during vacation, so I can get the salty runback and destroy him with Grim's scythe spam.

Decent platform fighter with a superb story mode, I love that the final boss is the TV remote that's so fitting
Blossom is OP

Me & Waff Absolutely tore apart the story with Captain K'nuckles

Cartoon Network dares to ask the forbidden question, what if Smash Bros, but garbage?

Shit game, no Johnny Bravo hair physics.


The better smash game, the powerpuff level alone puts this game above all else

Fever dream of a video game, clearly didn’t have a lasting impact though since I never returned to it.

Braindead Aku spamming drones

Try that on my Captain K'nuckles
