Scooby-Doo! Unmasked is the latest in the Scooby-Doo! video game series. It is also the first Scooby-Doo! game to get released on the Nintendo DS. In the game, the player uses Scooby-Doo to take down enemies and collect clues for Velma. Scooby-Doo can change costumes which can give him different moves such as kung-fu and fly like a bat. Without using these costumes some levels may not be possible to finish. In the Nintendo DS game, there are a few minigames included to make use of its touchscreen.
[edit] Plot
Scooby-Doo and the gang are visiting Fred's cousin Jed at his factory Monstrous Fright and Magic. Once they get there, Jed is missing, and his animatronics have gone haywire. Winslow Stanton tells them Jed is a thief and has stolen his mubber and animatronics. Scooby and the gang explore different areas in search of Jed.
