Like the previous game, Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl 2 is a 2D platform fighter featuring characters from various Nickelodeon franchises. Gameplay has been updated from the previous entry, with all characters' movesets having been revised and given new horizontal attacks, and new mechanics being added such as aerial dodging and dodge rolling. During gameplay, a new "Slime Meter" can be built up by attacking opponents and used in different ways, such as powering up special attacks, performing attack cancels, and activating powerful character-specific "Super" abilities. Certain stages have been updated to feature selectable alternate layouts. A new single-player campaign has been added, in which players must stop Vlad Plasmius from conquering the multiverse. The campaign will feature roguelike mechanics, boss battles, and character-specific story routes. The game will also feature a refined arcade mode, along with new mini-games and modes such as a boss rush. In addition, support for cross-platform play has been added to the game's online multiplayer.

Trivia
- According to the art director, Diego Rodriguez, 98% of the game has been built up entirely from scratch compared to the first game.[1]
- This game marks the first time a Nickelodeon game with online functionality will have crossplay between all consoles.
- The original Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl was planned to have this feature added in an update, but it was eventually cancelled due to issues with rights handling.
- The game's existence was first leaked in December 2022 through a 4chan thread. Three screenshots were shared, which showcased Danny's new model, Patrick using his Super move, and Squidward himself. Six months later, on June 26, 2023, Cropped-out parts of a supposedly early version of the cover art for the game, along with a screenshot of Danny holding a sword were leaked by Twitter user StevenSquareHeaded.[2] The final cover art, albeit with some of the characters blurred out, was shared by the same user a month later, on July 22, five days before the game's official announcement. An expanded version of the game's cover art was then leaked, five days after the game's official reveal trailer, by an Amazon UK listing on August 1st, 2023, featuring many newcomers that had not yet officially been revealed at the time, including Plankton and El Tigre.
- This also makes this the first time a Nickelodeon-based game by GameMill Entertainment wasn't leaked on retail sites.
- The game's logo went through several revisions before the final logo was decided. One of the oldest versions of the logo reveals the original codename for the game was Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl 2023.[3]
