Scribblenauts is the closest thing we have to a Death Note video game.

I believe if you write "starite" in the notebook, the starites you get don't actually have any energy inside of them and won't be able to power the notebook, assuming that's how the notebook is powered in the first place

Not only does Scribblenauts absolutely FUCK (its music especially rocks), it’s a phenomenal example of an educational game done RIGHT. It teaches critical thinking skills and expands the vocabulary of the player as part of its main gameplay loop, in such a way that doesn’t feel shoehorned in or that clashes with the game’s other mechanics. It’s not a textbook that been gameified, it’s just a game that requires you to learn in order to play. It’s probably one of my favorite games of all time.

Maxwell’s notebook does have some vague limitations though - he couldn’t cure whatever his father did to make his sister a statue. So presumably it gets countered by certain forms of magic.

I'm genuinely kinda overjoyed to see somebody bringing this franchise into a bit more of a spotlight again, I'd played it so much throughout my childhood
Also you're so right, the notebook IS probably the most powerful thing ever, Maxwell by the point of Unlimited has true omnipotence basically



Also yeah fuck Maxwell's dad he caused Maxwell to go into situations where he canonically can die and presumably if that happened not only would he let Maxwell die but let Lily freeze into stone

Not only is Maxwell one of the most powerful characters in fiction, he keeps getting more powerful in each game:
-In the first game, he can create and move objects and that's it
-In Super, he can now add adjectives to his creations to modify them
-In Unlimited, he gains the ability to alter existing people/objects and not just his own creations
-In Unmasked, the fourth wall no longer holds him back as the entire DC universe is now his to create

If this series had continued, he would probably control over every other franchise in existence and be emperor of the entire multiverse by now.

Maxwell controls every single god from every religion. He controls eldritch horrors. He controls death and life. Maxwell is the most powerful being to exist in any media

So his notebook is like the Death Note but somehow more powerful

in regards to bizarre combinations you can create in this game, one time, while playing around with it, i created a "depressed man" and gave him a "gun" leading him IMMEDIATELY kill HIMSELF - so yes you can really do anythin you want in this game. next time i think i'll spawn him a therapist

I hate that no one ever considers maxwell when they do a "can X powerful character beat Y powerful character" bc maxwell literally controls life and death and all Goku does is just yell really loud for a long time and then hit really hard in the time it could take Maxwell to just write "dead goku"

This game is so damn good

Also, considering the steam workshop, maxwell can summon pretty much anything.

I feel as this man could review doc mcstuffins and talk about how confusing it is and I would still be entertained

4:31 i don't think i'm gonna forgot the main villain of Crisis of Infinite Earths

in Unlimited most puzzles where you need to get past a character without harming them can be solved using the word "alprazolam", which is the generic name for Xanax

I don’t think I’ve ever seen drawn to life mentioned in a YouTube video before, which makes it even better that I also learned it was made by the same people that made scribblenauts .

the only reasons Maxwell was never added to smash is because its impossible to nerf a character who can counter that nerf

With this game being a Warner Bros. property, Maxwell needs to be in Multiversus!

Scribblenauts has been one of the most influential games in my entire life. I remember that time I got 2 copies of super scribblenauts on my ds and was playing both copies to bits, making custom levels and trying to complete every wacky combination (plus the winged dotted bathtub). Then, a couple years later I bought unlimited and that expanded my limits even more, because I would spend almost entire days trying to make every custom character I could think of. And then scribblenauts unmasked, as quirky as the game was, allowed me to enjoy scribblenauts in the comfort of my 3ds, for more scribble action on the go.

I don’t normally comment on YouTube videos, and this may or may not be buried under a bunch of other posts, but as someone diagnosed with an above average creativity level, Maxwell and his entire series of games have truly left an amazing mark on my life. Thank you so much for making a video about this truly underrated game, and confirming why I stay subscribed to this underrated channel ❤

Wow, Drawn to Life. What a blast from the past! I forgot how gutwrenching that ending was for 10 year old me

My favorite object, and probably what I have used the most, is an indestructible immovable plank. Next to that is a fast flying tank.
