Plot[]

Console version[]

One night in the Turner House, Timmy is just about to watch the season finale of Crash Nebula. Naturally, Timmy is elated to get on with the show when out of nowhere, a mysterious TV station starts emanating magical energy. Just as the episode finishes it's recap, the TV just outright shorts out and shows nothing but static. Timmy is so shocked out of horror from such an inconvenience at the worst possible moment that he lets out a scream that instantly wakes up his sleeping godparents. He explains the situation and Wanda simply tells him that she and Cosmo can totally fix the TV with a simple wave of their wands and a wish on his part. He wishes that the TV was fixed, but when Cosmo and Wanda try it, nothing. They try again, but still nothing. Their wands have mysteriously lost their ability to grant wishes. So, for such an occasion, Wanda then pulls out her Emergency Wand, a larger version of her own wand with the star on top encased in glass that is to be broken in an event where fairies are powerless. She explains that all Fairies have an emergency wand, but she has never used hers and takes the mysterious magical blackout as the right time to find out what it does. When she breaks the glass, the star falls on the floor and transforms into a vintage movie projection monitor that shows an old training movie hosted by King Oberon and Queen Titania, former monarchy of Fairy World. Titania explains that if this film is being viewed, that means there must be a lack of magic and this film contains valuable instructions for the use of emergency magic wish stars. All of a sudden, Timmy, Cosmo, and Wanda are poofed inside the training movie and Wanda concludes that the only way back to the real world is by following the instructions.

Fairly Disastrous[]

Desperate to get to the bottom of this, the 3 travel to Fairy World, only to find it stranger than usual! Jorgen Von Strangle explains that a Royal Jewel has been stolen. Cosmo Panics. Jorgen asks them to hunt down the former jester for King Oberon and Queen Titania, who is believed to be the one behind all this. Timmy wishes for a card suit spray, a cow suit, and a repair-o-tron to find the jester and stop him. When they finally reach and defeat him, Strangle and the king and queen show up and arrest him. But it turns out the jester was not behind this. Timmy, Cosmo, and Wanda set off to find the villain. Boss: Quince the Unfunny Jester

After, Timmy finds out that a "Fairy-versary" muffin is more powerful than the jewel that was stolen. He orders the ingredients (Pixie Sugar, a Phoenix Egg, Super Strong Hair Raising Flour and Mooncalf Milk) but Vicky takes the milk and gives Mom and Dad the flour and sugar. Timmy figures this out and is thankful that the egg is okay... until Vicky comes in and smashes it! Timmy then plans how to get everything back.

Dad's Dream[]

With his new sugar-powered robot's help, Dad falls asleep after watching a hypnotized TV. Timmy tries to wake him up, but he was sleeping like a corpse. Timmy wishes himself into Dad's Dreams to shock him awake. Timmy wishes for an idea bulb, a magnetic pellet gun, and a klaxon to reach the giant robot which his dad is dreaming about. When he does reach the robot and beat him, Dad wakes up to tell Timmy how to get the pixie sugar off his robot's back for the magic "Fairy-Versary" muffin. Boss: Giant Robot

Take It on the Chin[]

Timmy sighs over the loss of the Phoenix egg, but knows there is one in an old Crimson Chin comic- Issue 133, Part 27 of the Dark Phoenix Egg Saga: Chin Alone. (A classic issue!) In it, H2Olga floods Chincinatti with Chintonite-polluted water, then zaps away the Chin's powers. Then, Timmy comes in as Cleft, the Boy Chin Wonder, goes into the waterworks, and battles H2Olga. He wishes for a pogo stick, a crimson wing, and a freeze ray in order to reach H2Olga. After he wins he takes the Phoenix egg and gives the Crimson Chin back his powers. Boss: H2Olga

Get a Clue[]

Jorgen has still not located the thief. Timmy goes to Oberon and Titania's Mansion under cover as Ace Spade, the Maltese Chicken. (A reference to Sam Spade, the Maltese Falcon - A detective.) Timmy meets the Crinkly Old Chamberlain, whom he calls "Mister Faithful Retainer Who Is Above Suspicion." In the middle of the level, Timmy finds the Oberon and Titania talking to a figure that looks like the Chamberlain, who asks if they did what he said. Timmy wishes for a mansion upside-downer, a ghost costume, and a magic-fying glass to unroll the mystery. Eventually, Timmy gets into the treasure room and finds a phantom. After Timmy defeats it, it turns out to be...OBERON AND TITANIA! After questioning, Oberon reveals that they do not have it. They also intend to rule the human world. But after they get away, Cosmo reveals that he found a pan for the muffin. Timmy tells Cosmo that it will come in handy. Boss: The Red Phantom

The Great Esc-Ape[]

Mom is about to make a loaf of banana bread when her cooking show magically changes to a documentary of monkeys. Then, an ape dressed like a king shows up and kidnaps mom after a strange figure shows up on her TV set and Dimmsdale was turned into ape world by TV Magic. (The same figure that was in the mansion.) Timmy then goes around the ape world. He wishes for a banana launcher, a monkey wrench, and a lizard suit to find the ape king. And he finally shows up the ape king's temple and beats him. Then Timmy tells mom that her flour was spilled during the fight and frees her. Cosmo panics again. Timmy tells him that he had the flour with him after the fight. Boss: The Ape King

Vicky Strikes Back[]

Vicky is scrolling through the TV Channels when she finds a documentary on aliens. Then, suddenly she finds herself in the documentary with Mark Chang at her side. He explains that Vicky is within her own ("humongous and gargantuan space palace, the seat of her universal empire.) Then a figure shows up on the TV screen near her throne. (Again, the same figure that was in the mansion.) She begins charging her "babysitter ray." Then Timmy shows up dressed as Crash Nebula, and breaks into the palace. He wishes for a jetpack, a gamma ray suit, and a pinballistic velocitizer to beat Vicky and save the world. He then shows up in the throne room and battles Vicky. He wins, though Vicky is mad that her ray was only charged 6%, as most heroes wait until it is nearly finished to make it dramatic. But Timmy says, "Crash Nebula believes in efficiency!". He takes back the milk and then the show ends. Boss: Vicky

Game Boy Advance edition

Shadow Showdown[]

Timmy, Cosmo and Wanda go back to Jorgen, ready to make the muffin. When it is finished, Timmy cheers for joy. "We did it! It's.. it's very hot! Hot! Ow!" The muffin is hot, and Wanda recommends that they go to the magic TV station. Jorgen explains that he has been investigating, and he knows the station is Channel 13. Then the gang poofs to their destination. They come in, to find Oberon and Titania tied up, saying that they were lied to by the figure. Then they explain what happened. Then Timmy supposedly finds out who was behind it (the Chamberlain.) Then the Chamberlain shows up, confusing Timmy about the suddenly appeared shadow known as the Anti-Chamberlain. The Chamberlain says that he has a confession to make. The Anti-Chamberlain then comes to life, saying "No, old man, let me!" Then the king and queen say how it was the Anti-Chamberlain who tricked them, the Chamberlain says that the Anti-Chamberlain was his shadow, and the Anti-Chamberlain himself says that he had a cruel plan to reverse the way shadows work. (Shadows wearing their casters, not the other way around.) Timmy reduces the Anti-Chamberlain to a puddle after a fight, but it comes back to life, then Timmy races the shadow toward the muffin. Oberon grabs it and throws it to Titania, who throws it to Timmy. Timmy eats it and wishes everything back to normal. The ex-royals apologize, then Timmy heads back to the house, only to find that Crash is over and will never be shown again. This time, Timmy panics instead of Cosmo. Wanda reminds Timmy that they have their powers back, so Timmy wishes for a tape of the season finale. Then, Timmy, Cosmo and Wanda watch the season finale together. Then the game ends. Boss: The Chamberlain's Shadow a.k.a. the Anti-Chamberlain
