Jimmy Neutron vs. Jimmy Negatron (Windows)

An adventure platformer based on the Nickelodeon cartoon in which Jimmy Neutron faces off with an evil doppelganger from another dimension. It serves as a sequel of sorts to AWE Games' game based on the 2001 film, reusing the same engine and many assets. Unlike that game's open-world nature however, Jimmy Neutron vs. Jimmy Negatron follows a more linear level structure.

It also had a Game Boy Advance counterpart, but beyond the title shares nothing in common.
