General

- The game is developed by Ludosity, which had experience with working on the platform fighter genre with Slap City.
- A developer from Ludosity, sinxtanx, confirmed via the official Ludosity Discord server that the game will support features and techniques popular or highly demanded by fighting game fans (especially fans of Super Smash Bros).[citation needed]
- Features include rollback netcode, private and competitive lobbies, and ranking.
- Techniques include wavedash (a popular technique in Super Smash Bros. Melee) and shield platform drop.
- The game uses the 1987 versions of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (a series that was not produced by Nickelodeon), rather than the 2012 Nickelodeon designs.
- There are currently 3 fighters from SpongeBob SquarePants.
- The game is being published by GameMill Entertainment, who previously published both Nickelodeon Kart Racers and Nickelodeon Kart Racers 2: Grand Prix for the United States of America.
- Target leaked the box-art for Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl the day it was announced, but was eventually changed to only have its logo. The leaked box-art featured unrevealed fighters such as Aang, Korra, Ren, Stimpy, CatDog, and more.
- The poses for SpongeBob, Patrick and Sandy's portraits are very similar to promotional art of the characters.
- Coincidently, the game was announced on the day of Tom Kenny's birthday, and a day before SpongeBob SquarePants' birthday.

- Cartoon Network: Punch Time Explosion received mixed reviews, often reasoned because of its flawed roster and not having the amount of care like Super Smash Bros. had.
- From what has been revealed, there are 2 fighters from the 1980s, 9 fighters from the 1990s, 1 fighter from debatably either the 1990s or the 2000s, 1 fighter from the 2000s, and 2 fighters from the 2010s.

- The voice actor of Zim from Invader Zim, Richard Horvitz, has confirmed that he did not voice Zim for this game and he is not sure if the game even contains voice acting.[4][5] Joel Nyström, CEO of developer Ludosity, has since stated that "as we continue to build the Nick All-Star Brawl franchise, we will be reviewing all options, which may include adding VO down the road."[2]
- GameMill Entertainment released a 2nd teaser trailer for Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl on August 23, 2021, announcing 8 more mystery fighters are coming. The video was then made private shortly after.
