iCarly (or iCarly: The Game) is a 2009 party video game loosely based on the TV series of the same name. The Wii version of the game was developed by Blitz Games, while the Nintendo DS version was developed by Human Soft. The game was released in North America for the Nintendo DS on October 27, 2009, and for the Wii on October 20, 2009. Both versions were also released in Europe and Australia in November 6, 2009.

A sequel, iCarly 2: iJoin the Click!, was released for the Wii and Nintendo DS in November 16, 2010.

Gameplay

Based on the TV series, iCarly is about a girl named Carly Shay who creates her own web show called iCarly with her best friends Sam and Freddie. Carly's videos that are uploaded on the iCarly site are being deleted, and it turns out that Nevel has taken down their website. So Carly and her friends have to get their website back by playing 10 minigames, presented as show skits, and they allow players to work with the characters through new adventures. The iCreate mode lets players add their own touches to the webisodes by swapping out props, characters, color schemes, audio, intros, outros and other elements. Up to four players can either compete or cooperate to complete the skits and earn Web-Creds, which can then be used to purchase new items, props, accessories and locations from in-game websites.

The Wii verison of the game allows for up to four players at once.

Speedrunning

Between 2018 and 2020, a small speedrunning community developed around the Wii version of the game, and in November 2020, a former world record holder for the Any% category offered a $200 reward to the first person who could record themselves beating the world record at the time.
