Choose your favorite Nicktoons star and let the multiplayer mayhem begin. Nickelodeon Party Blast lets up to four players duke it out as SpongeBob SquarePants, Otto and Reggie Rocket, Angelica and Tommy Pickles, Invader Zim, Eliza Thornberry, and Jimmy Neutron. In five different game types with multiple levels, you can lob food at Tommy, race Otto Rocket down rapids, shoot hoops and pull tricks wearing in-line skates, blast Goooze at SpongeBob SquarePants, and more. During your battles, you can also find collectables, unlock minigames, and use power-ups.

Testing

This title has been tested on the environments listed below:

Test Entries
Revision	OS	CPU	GPU	Result	Tester
4.0-5152	Windows 7	Intel Core i7-4700MQ @ 2.4 GHz	Intel HD Graphics 4600	Appears to run flawlessly, but opening requires Direct3D to display properly and HLE audio for sound to be heard. Game runs relatively smoothly with only minor slowdown in gameplay and full 60FPS everywhere else. OpenGL rendering and HLE audio are recommended to increase framerate, and have no apparent ill effects aside from the opening sequence. Any other settings that usually create issues (e.g. disabling EFB copies) seem to have no effect at all.	FinalSoraRiku
5.0-6092	Windows 10	Intel Core i3-3220 @ 3.3 GHz	NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060	The only problem is that text in the menus displays with an extremely thin black border around each character, with no way I could find to fix it. Otherwise, the game works perfectly fine with all default settings. At the end of a match, when the results podium comes up, there's a bit of goo that seems to shoot off into space from player 2's podium; this isn't a problem with Dolphin and happens on console as well.
