Directly to the right of the canvas is the toolset, which includes three different pencil sizes, a paint bucket, an eraser, an undo button, and a clear-all icon. On the bottom screen, gamers will see drawing perimeters carefully placed over a virtual canvas and would-be artists can scribble their own designs within these confines. The drawing interface, an integral component of the experience, is unabashedly inspired by (if not altogether ripped from) the original Drawn to Life. The game begins with a quick cinematic that explains all of the above and then players will find themselves drawing their hero in the first of many such chances for artistic expression. To save the day, gamers will need to draw a unique hero to battle alongside characters like SpongeBob and Patrick. In the DS title, DoodleBob escapes into Bikini Bottom with a powerful pencil of his own, which he 'uses to cause havoc' all over and around SpongeBob's favorite locations. SpongeBob fans will undoubtedly recognize the character DoodleBob, the subject of an episode in which Nickelodeon's underwater mascot used a magical pencil to scribble into the world an evil clone of himself.
