Scribblenauts Unlimited is a game produced by 5th Cell. It was announced at the 2012 E3 on June 5th. Scribblenauts Unlimited was originally suggested to be released (and developed) for the Wii, but was then moved to the Wii U upon Jeremiah Slackzahs' intel off the newly developed Wii U.

Gameplay

The game takes place in a massive continuous level. The core gameplay is still the same, however, there is multiple people for Maxwell to help in one location.

Free-Play/Levels

In Scribblenauts Unlilmited, Free Play and Levels are undissociable. Unlike Scribblenauts and Super Scribblenauts, there is no level selection screen. All 30 - 40 [6] areas are connected and visitable through a map, they house levels, are fully explorable and are populated with NPCs. Some areas known are the Metaforest, Underscore Mine, Hyphen Heights, The Saurus Park, St. Asterisk, Edwin's Farm, the Full Stop Diner, the Capital City Firehouse, The Capital City itself, Grave Manor, The Virgue Gallery, Inkwell High, Kana Craters(The Moon, full of vegetation because of the gardener), The Storybook Keep, The Alliteration Abyss, Majuscle Grotto, and the Exclamation Point (it's a mountain top) among others. (some of the names are based upon writing elements and context, while others are normal). [5] Small missions in each area give you Starite Shards (around about 400 total small objectives) and bigger multi-stage levels remain in the areas but temporarily remove NPCs and Free Play elements, giving you Starites (around 60 in total).

Multiplayer (Wii U)

Multiplayer allows two or more players to join in Freeplay or Levels using Wii remotes as they take control of any onscreen object.

Online (PC and Wii U)

Players can share their Custom Objects online. In the PC verisons of Scribblenauts Unlimited, Steam Workshop is supported for users to share their creations with other players. The Steam version also includes 25 Steam Achievements

Story

Maxwell had 2 parents named Edgar and Julie, they had careers as explorers before they settled down to have children. They had forty two children in all, including Maxwell and Lily. They gave each of their children a special and magical gift. Maxwell recieved a special notebook, while Lily recieved a magical globe that took her all around the world (All the other gifts are not elaborated on however, leaving them open to speculation)[4]. But all these magical gifts made the children spoiled and mean. Because of this, Maxwell pulled a trick on a hungry beggar by writing down a rotten apple. The beggar ate the apple, but revealed that he had magical powers, and placed a curse on Lily that would turn her from flesh to stone. Maxwell learned that the only way to stop the curse was to gather Starites. However, to get these starites, Maxwell needed to earn people's gratitude by helping them with their various tasks. Therefore, Maxwell decided to use his notebook for good, and set out on his quest of traveling the world to collect starites, all to makes things right again for his family [7]. In the end, the beggar turned out to be Maxwell's father Edgar , as his cane can paralyze people. This was to teach Maxwell a lesson, and the entire purpose was so Maxwell would become a better person.

Object Editing [3]

Fifth Cell has also announced the additions of making custom objects that appear when a custom word is typed. From the released trailer, objects can only be made using pre-made object pieces in order to stay within the animation style of the Scribblenauts series.

The Custom Objects feature was originally used to create all objects in the other Scribblenauts games. It was created by Edison Yan.[3]

Object Editing is not included in the 3DS version.

Special Features

Unlike the original Scribblenauts and Super Scribblenauts, Scribblenauts Unlimited has many more new features such as:

Object Library: Although similar to the 'Resummon' tool in Super Scribblenauts where it brings back previous objects, the Object Library is Maxwell's Backpack and he can store objects, custom or original, in there for later use at any time.
Merit Board: Each world is filled with hints. There is a new feature called "Starite Vision", an aid that will highlight all nearby Starites and Starite Shards.
New memes: Nyan Cat, Tube Man, Cool Story Bro, Tentaquil, Bread Helmet Man, Business Cat , Inception Cat, Blue Screen Of Death.
Improved Graphics: The game utilizes the Wii U's High-Definition capabilities to make the game look clear and smooth around the edges, as well as better shading and lighting.
More Objects: The Wii U's technical power allows players to spawn about 60 objects at once, as apposed to about 10 before.
Nintendo Objects: Guest Objects from other Nintendo series (such as Mario, Link, Zelda, and Yoshi) are featured in the Wii U version. [8]
Streetpass: The 3DS game allows you to share solutions to levels using streetpass.
