Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl 2's Latest Update Adds New Game Mode, Stage Layouts, Items And More

If you're still duking it out in Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl 2, you'll be pleased to hear a new update has now been released.

Update 1.7 includes the new game mode "rotation", new stage layouts, new campaign power-ups (including the Perfect Krabby Patty), a handful of new items, bug fixes, a general update, and a lot of character balance changes.

This update follows on from the first DLC fighter Mr. Krabs in February, who has also received a balance update.

Here's the full rundown, courtesy of the official game website:

Update 1.7 (1st March, 2024)

NEW CONTENT!

• New Game Mode – Rotation: 3 to 4 players can play in a King of the Hill 1v1 style of gameplay, where anytime a player is KO’d it goes to the waiting list, and the next player enters the fight. All seamless during the match. It can be played with Stocks or Timed variants.
• New Stage: Added Clean, Double, and Triangle layouts for Food Dreams.

New Campaign power-up pack!

• Ring of Rage and Crown of Fire: When both are obtained, all attacks ignore Block and Super Armor.
