Nicktoons Movin (also known as SpongeBob SquarePants: Movin' with Friends in Europe) is a Nicktoons crossover video game for the PlayStation 2 and was released on October 21, 2004. In it, the player will watch as SpongeBob and Patrick host the game, but alongside mini-games influenced by the SpongeBob SquarePants cartoon series, the player will find some influenced by Jimmy Neutron, Rocket Power, Danny Phantom, and The Fairy OddParents. They are all inspired by an episode in the cartoon series, a part of which is shown prior to the mini-game in order to set it up.
The game includes one mini-game inspired by the aforementioned series. They can be played in three difficulty modes and the change is readily apparent as the difficult mode - Jimmy, a nod to Jimmy Neutron's genius kid - is much more involved than Patrick, the easy mode, a nod to Patrick's stupidity.
