In Middlemost Post, Parker J. Cloud lives and works in the Middlemost Post Office with Angus, a burly, rule-abiding mailman who cherishes his solitude and values efficiency, and Russell, their magical pet walrus whose stomach is so big that it doubles as a storage room. Together they journey through Mount Middlemost and the six territories of Somewhere to deliver the mail, while meeting some exceptionally quirky and peculiar people along the way. But, as this loving and unconventional trio grows closer, they remain blissfully unaware that they have been brought together by one fateful stormy event.
Then, on September 4 YTV travelled to the magical land of TrollsTopia, Season 2, with new episodes every Saturday at 10 a.m. ET/PT. Inspired by the beloved DreamWorks Animation films, TROLLSTOPIA is the next chapter in the hair-raising adventures of the trolls.

The Croods: Family Tree premieres on Saturday, October 2 at 9 a.m. ET/PT.

The journey from sparring rivals to unlikely friends is fraught with hilarious misadventures as the two families slowly overcome their differences to turn a tree house divided into a tree home united. Kelly Marie-Tran returns as the voice of “Dawn” alongside new addition Amy Landecker as “Ugga.” Mark Banker (Go, Dog. Go!) and Todd Grimes (The Epic Tales of Captain Underpants) serve as executive producers.
Who lives in a pineapple under the sea? This fall, YTV is home to two spinoffs of one of the top 3 animated series on YTV last fall*, SpongeBob SquarePants! Beginning with Kamp Koral: SpongeBob’s Under Years on Sunday, October 3 at 9 a.m. ET/PT, the CG-animated prequel follows 10-year-old SpongeBob SquarePants and his pals as they spend their summer building underwater campfires, catching wild jellyfish, and swimming in Lake Yuckymuck at the craziest camp in the kelp forest, Kamp Koral.

Chapa (Havan Flores), Miles (Terrence Little Gardenhigh), Mika (Dana Heath) and Bose (Luca Luhan) must keep their real identities a secret from both their families and the villains who are out to destroy them.

Viewers are welcome to visit the charming town of Jellystone!, beginning Sunday, October 10 at 9 a.m. ET/PT.

Huckleberry Hound proudly serves as the town’s mayor; Cindy, Boo Boo and Yogi are the town’s medical staff; Jabberjaw works at Magilla’s clothing store where they supply all the bow ties and hats to the town’s citizens; and every character has a specific role in the community. Their paths cross in fun and ridiculous ways, turning everyday activities into hilarious pandemonium.
Also debuting this fall is the HBO Max Original series Aquaman: King of Atlantis. Produced by Warner Bros. Animation, the series begins with Aquaman’s first day on the job as king of Atlantis, and he has a lot of catching up to do! Luckily, he has his two royal advisors to back him up: Vulko, the scholar, and Mera, the water controlling warrior-princess. Between dealing with unscrupulous surface dwellers, elder evils from beyond time, and his own half-brother who wants to overthrow him, Aquaman is going to have to rise to the challenge and prove to his subjects, and to himself, that he’s the right man for the trident.
Then, the gang is back again with new episodes of Animaniacs, Season 2 returning this fall.

Join the Warners and Pinky and the Brain as they wreak havoc everywhere they go, from the Warner Bros. lot to an international beauty pageant and all the way into outer space. And keep an eye out for season one favorites Starbox & Cindy, as well as some rejected Animaniacs characters that were left on the cutting room floor.

Thaddeus Crews, one of the Ludosity developers that worked on Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl, has revealed a few snippets of information about what to expect in an upcoming patch to address some of the broken and "unfun" things that are currently in the game.
One of the big issues with Mikey right now revolves around how his light neutral aerial works. Upon hitting the enemy, they're sent in a downward angle and are trapped in hit stun for an unusually long duration. Using this move a certain way in combination with up throw allows Mikey to perform a rather simple touch-of-death combo over and over again during a match.
The upcoming patch will cause this attack to send opponents at a more upward angle. In addition, the attack will also cause less hit stun.
Directional influence (DI) will be more impactful once the patch drops. This should hopefully gives players better escape opportunities against many of the overcentralized neutral aerial loops that currently exist in the game.
The patch is supposedly slated to drop on Monday, October 18 but we'll have to see how things unfold from there.
Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl is out now for PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X. To find out more about the game, click here.
Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl will be the first non-Super Smash Bros. game to make an appearance at the major fighting game event, which has been around since 2015 and is making its return this year following its 2020 cancellation due to the pandemic.
Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl was released on October 5 has been earning praise for succeeding at the fighting game mash-up formula in ways that previous titles like PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale could not. The game is heavily influenced by Nintendo's long-running Super Smash Bros. franchise in that it is a massive crossover extravaganza featuring iconic characters from several different popular properties. Up to four players can compete in a single match, playing as characters from beloved shows like SpongeBob SquarePants and Avatar: The Last Airbender. The characters April O'Neil, Leonardo and Michelangelo from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles also make an appearance, with the latter gaining some notoriety for being overpowered.
In an effort to keep matches balanced, Super Smash Con director Michael Brancato recently announced via a published ruleset that the party dude Ninja Turtle would be banned from the competition. Speaking with Kotaku, Brancato explained that this decision was made due to an unbreakable combo that Michelangelo is able to perform. The character can also stall matches with one of his specials, though Brancato has stated that this was not the reason for the ban.
As demonstrated in Super Smash Bros.'s recent Sora moveset showcase, this subgenre of fighter game hinges on meticulously designed mechanics that keep matches balanced. This balance becomes invaluable when entering the competitive space, as players need to feel that matches are fair for the competition to mean anything. If the organizers of Super Smash Con feel that Mikey needs to be banned to maintain the integrity of the event, then it will be important for attendees to understand and respect that decision.
Even though Michelangelo won't be playable at this year's convention, upcoming patches could balance the character and potentially make him an option for competitors next year. The developers intend to continue their support of the game, even teasing that third-party characters like Dragon Ball Z's Goku could be added as future DLC, so rebalancing characters doesn't seem so unlikely. Either way, Super Smash Con attendees planning on competing with Michelangelo this year might need to start honing their skills with another character, such as Mikey's bro Leo.
