The game opens with Jimmy Neutron's nemesis, Professor Calamitous, being a contestant on a reality show called "The Biggest Genius". Calamitous states that by feeding fairies Krabby Patties, they can emit a magical gas that, combined with the ghost energy, can be used as a form of fuel for his army of "Toybots," evil toy duplicates of abducted and scanned heroes. During the opening credits, SpongeBob SquarePants and Patrick Star deliver a truckload of several million Krabby Patties to a Krabby Patty processing and toybot factory. Upon arriving at the factory, a robot sucks up all the Krabby Patties, and Patrick, unintentionally, in the process. SpongeBob chases after the robot, and eventually finds his way into the factory. After finding his way through the factory, SpongeBob finds Patrick vacuum-packed like a toy. After freeing Patrick, they meet Tak of the Pupununu People, who claims to have been abducted and scanned. They later find Timmy Turner and Jimmy Neutron, who were also abducted. They then meet ChadBot, Calamitous' robot assistant, and ask him to contact Danny Phantom. ChadBot agrees to betray his master and help, and tells them to find more "master models", which are the action figures that Calamitous created from scanning the abducted heroes, for his collection. After collecting more master models, ChadBot allows Jimmy to contact Danny, who says that Calamitous' toy army took over his house to use the Ghost Portal's energy. Jimmy tells Danny and Sam to meet him and the other heroes at Amity Park's EvilToyCo outlet. When they arrive, they see that Jimmy has built mech-suits that will let them fight the larger robots. The group then defeats the Saucer Men robots that Calamitous has been using to abduct the heroes from their worlds, and head to Fairy World. Patrick frees Jorgen Von Strangle from a glass prison to destroy the Fairy Harvester, and they get back into their mech-suits to visit the Professor's lair. The heroes then unexpectedly enter The Biggest Genius' filming set, where ChadBot is revealed to be the winner. The host tells Calamitous that ChadBot doing Calamitous’ work for him, and building a collection of master models is what led to him winning. ChadBot credits SpongeBob, Danny, and their friends for his rise to success, and the game ends with ChadBot cutting Calamitous' mustache off with an electric shaver.Reception
''Nicktoons: Attack of the Toybots'' received "mixed or average reviews". Meghan Sullivan of IGN gave the Wii version of the game a score of 6 out of 10, stating that "Nicktoons: Attack of The Toybots is by no means a stellar game, but if you're a parent looking to entertain your kid for a few hours while you go out, then this might do the trick. Otherwise pass on this and wait for something better." Jack DeVries of IGN gave the Nintendo DS version of the game a score of 7 out of 10, concluding that "This is the best Nicktoons game yet. I know, that isn’t saying much since Unite and Battle for Volcano Island kind of sucked. And really, this isn't a stellar title. It gets pretty repetitive and it's not very long. But for fans of Nickelodeon cartoons, it's got enough characters and unlockables to be pretty appealing. The minor voicework is just enough to be neat, and with multiplayer and so many characters, it's actually a game that could be played multiple times. I just wish Rocko was a playable character." The Wii version of the game received a score of 60 out of 100 from Metacritic based on 4 reviews, while the Nintendo DS version of the game received a Metacritic score of 54 out of 100 based on 4 reviews.Sequel
