Female Maxwell

This unused character, who resembles a female Maxwell, can be found in the game's data. Her graphics can also be found in the sequel, Super Scribblenauts. There is no known way to summon her in-game. In Scribblenauts Unlimited, the girl version of evil Maxwell resembles her.

Regional Differences

In the Japanese version of Scribblenauts, several Konami characters can be summoned via the notepad. They include:

Solid Snake, Old Snake and Big Boss (Metal Gear). They carry a Dart Gun, Assault Rifle and Gun object respectively. All of them get removed in Super Scribblenauts.

Goemon and Ebisumaru (Ganbare Goemon). Like the Metal Gear characters, Ebisumaru is oddly absent from the sequel.

Alucard (Castlevania).

Pawapuro-kun (Jikkyou Pawafuru Puroyakyu/Power Pros). Comes with a Baseball bat but don't bother trying to pitch at him. In the sequel, he does not spawn with a bat and his sprite has angry eyebrows.

Shiori Fujisaki (Tokimeki Memorial).

Manaka Takane (LovePlus).

Vic Viper (Gradius). Maxwell can fly it; tapping anywhere on-screen will make the craft drop fireball objects in a trajectory similar to missiles in the Gradius series.

Mimi and Nyami (Pop'n Music).
