[edit] Story
The plot revolves around the fact that characters from the many Nickelodeon worlds have been misplaced into each other's worlds, and Jimmy Neutron has taken into his hands the job that these characters are brought back to their own worlds. He sends out the protagonists of other shows to take photos of the misplaced characters with his new invention, the "Neutrino-Cam 4000", a camera that also functions as a teleporter, which will send them back to their own worlds.
As the player progresses, it becomes clear that Invader Zim is the mastermind behind the whole mess, and Jimmy soon realizes that after the player has cleared all the levels. Jimmy then flies off in his rocket to Zim's ship and puts a stop to the Irken's scheme.

[edit] Gameplay
In each level, the player has to meet a certain number of set points in order to progress. This is achieved by accomplishing the following missions:
- Photographing a certain number of out-of-place characters
- Photographing something exclusive to that level (for example, "another photographer" in the Dimmsdale Elementary School stage)
- Photographing a certain number of in-place characters (usually six)
- Photographing six of a certain paraphernalia in its level (i.e. jellyfish in Bikini Bottom)
The player does not necessarily have to accomplish all of these goals, but it is recommended that they focus mainly on photographing the misplaced characters; photographing and transporting these characters is worth 1000 points each, while everything else is worth 10. However, the player gets bonus points if they clear the other objectives in addition.
Throughout the levels, the player's camera can be damaged by mecahnical nuts rolling about on the ground. The character himself does not take damage from these, but the camera does, and if its enery meter is completely drained, it breaks and Jimmy will need to repair it while the player is given the option to continue. The Game Over/continue option also occurs if the player fails to reach the goal score in a level.
At the end of each world, the character will face off with a robot boss built to resemble another character. To defeat the boss, the player will need to take photos of it several times, stunning them on the first camera flash and then delivering a blow with another flash. During the battles, the bosses will fling bolts which cause as much damage as the mechanical nuts in the regular levels. Before each battle, the player's character and the boss engage in a conversation that is different depending on which character the player is using (for example, Timmy will remark to the Helga robot, "Something tells me you'd make an even worse babysitter than Vicky!"); the conversation becomes a bit lengthier if the player uses a character from the same show as the character whom the robot's appearance is based on.
[edit] Trivia
- One of only two games to take place in and feature characters from My Life As a Teenage Robot.
- Tommy's sprite depicts him with black hair instead of purple.
- The Photo Album contains the following errors:
- In the Fairly OddParents section, Tad is mislabelled as "Brad", and Tootie's name is misspelled "Tooty".
- The character labelled as "Bucksaplenty's Butler" is in fact a violin player for the Popular Kids, not a butler to Remy Buxaplenty (who is not in this game).
- Sheldon Lee is mislabelled as "Tuck", despite there already being a character with that name.
- When confronting the Helga robot as Zim, he will complain that "using GIR's programming was a really bad idea" on his own rebellious robot. In the Invader Zim episode "GIR Goes Crazy and Stuff", GIR rebels against Zim.
