Properties[]
Pre-Unlimited[]
As a projectile, this item can be thrown a considerably long way, possibly relating to its diminutive size. When interacted with, an 8-bit version of the Scribblenauts theme tune plays, again referencing the old-fashioned late 80's gaming situation.
Unlimited[]
In Scribblenauts Unlimited this object can't be thrown, however when it's interacted with this object will turn the screen green and pixelated, as a reference to the all-green screen seen on the original Nintendo Game Boy.
Unmasked[]
In Scribblenauts Unmasked the item got a new smartphone like design, and trying to punch with it equipped will display some particles.
Mega Pack[]
The item returns to it's Game Boy inspired design, but can now only be created by entering "Handheld" or "Handheld Game System" in the notebook. This is because "game" has been changed to be a synonym for board game, "video game" is now a synonym for a console, and a "handheld video game" is just a console with the handheld adjective.
Despite the name changes, the item retains all of it's functionality from Unlimited and Unmasked.
Trivia[]
- The sprite used before Unmasked is similar to a Nintendo Game Boy.
- In the Scribblenauts Mega Pack, the Video Game lost every single one of it's original synonyms, including "Video Game" itself. The item was instead given the names of the similar "handheld" object.
- As a result of the Video Game taking it's names, the original "Handheld" item is completely unspawnable in the Mega Pack.
