Nickelodeon Super Brawl, or simply Nickelodeon Brawl, is a series of crossover fighting video games. The games feature characters from various Nickelodeon animated television series . According to the team at Nick Games, the series follows the play style of "popular fighting games like Mortal Kombat, Super Smash Bros., Street Fighter, and Tekken, but with a comical twist."[1]

The first five Super Brawl games were browser games available on Nickelodeon's website.[2] After Nickelodeon removed its online games in 2018, the sixth game was instead released as a mobile app.[3] A console game follow-up to Super Brawl, called Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl, was released in 2021.[4][5] and a sequel, called Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl 2, was released in 2023.[6]

In the original series of browser games, the most-played title was Super Brawl 3: Good vs. Evil, which garnered 40-45 million plays on Nick.com.[7] Super Brawl 3 also won a Webby Award for Best Web Game in 2014.[8]
