Nintendo Wii U · 2013
About this game
Scribblenauts is a side-scrolling action game based on puzzles.

This is done by writing an object's name on the touchscreen, letter by letter.
When the word is recognized, the object spawns in the world, where it can be manipulated or act on its own.
This leads to an endless amount of possibilities to progress through the game.

There are also more bizarre examples, such as summoning a time machine, going back in time to fetch a dinosaur egg, make it hatch and then use it in the future to defeat an army of robot zombies.
The list also includes weapons, historical people, and even references to popular cultures and internet memes.
Profanity and trademarked objects are not recognized.
There is also a spelling checker included to offer suggestions.

During the game Maxwell needs to collect starites.
To do this, two to four objects are often summoned at the same time.
There are general, slow puzzle levels, but also faster action levels filled with enemies, platforms, switches and traps.
Often, the summoned objects and characters need to interact with each other.
Players can earn "merits" for not using weapons in a level for instance and finding a more creative approach.
When a level is completed, a silver star is awarded and the Free Play mode for the level is unlocked.
When the level is then completed three more times, using a different a
About Nintendo Wii U
The Wii U (2012) was commercially Nintendo's least successful home console, hampered by market confusion over whether the GamePad tablet controller was a new device or a Wii accessory.
