Titlescreen mode comparison

This comparison shows the title screen of Scribblenauts (left) and Super Scribblenauts (right).

Sandbox Mode is a mode that appears at the title screen in Scribblenauts, Super Scribblenauts, Scribblenauts Remix, and the mobile version of Scribblenauts Unlimited. There are no objectives in the mode, and it's mainly for testing items or simply playing around. The player cannot be killed by normal while in Sandbox mode, allowing them to experiment with dangerous items without consequence.

In Sandbox mode players get access to various levels called playgrounds. In Scribblenauts, 15 playgrounds are available, but the player needs to unlock all but the starting one. In Super Scribblenauts all playgrounds are instead unlocked from the start. In Scribblenauts Remix and Unlimited, the player is able to purchase additional playgrounds from the shop using real world money.

Scribblenauts Showdown features a mode called Sandbox Mode, however it functions completely differently and instead resembles the levels seen in Scribblenauts Unlimited.

Trivia[]

Marx SOUL

The dark level exclusive to Scribblenauts.

  • By completing challenge mode, the top screen changes while in Sandbox Mode.
  • The Budget is still limited in sandbox mode in both Scribblenauts and Super Scribblenauts. However, the mechanic is much more flexible in the mobile version.
  • This is the most suitable mode for testing and finding new objects and its characteristics and such.
  • In Scribblenauts and Super Scribblenauts, avatars are normally disabled in this mode.
  • While the player cannot normally be killed by normal means in Sandbox mode, Level Destroying Items such as nukes, tsunamis, or meteors, are still capable of killing them.
    • This no longer applies in the Mobile version of Scribblenauts Unlimited.
  • The secret levels accessed using the the teleporter and time machine are technically played within sandbox mode, as they have the same mechanics.
    • If the player enters a secret level from within a level, instead of from Sandbox Mode, they can continue using their avatar. This is the only time avatars can be used in Sandbox mode in Scribblenauts and Super Scribblenauts.
