AU Diary: How Australian Is Scribblenauts?

Tried everything mentioned so far on the US version (plus some extras I thought of) and it knows an incredible amount about Australia. Before giving the list I tried, you might want to just take my word for it and then experiment when you get it (and I highly recommend you do. I had a lot of fun checking these, you might want to do the same yourself :)

(You might be able to guess how I can test these – call me impatient – and yes I’ll be buying it when it comes out. Although I might buy an import to get it cheaper.)

Some things it appears to recognise but then gives something generic, for example Drop Bear just gives a regular bear. It does a lot of that, ignoring a descriptor if it doesn’t know it but recognises the base object.

**SPOILER WARNING! – List follows**

Barbie – gives a barbecue, no option for the doll which is trademarked/copyright/whatever
Didgeridoo
Ute – sorriest looking ute I’ve ever seen, but it works ;)
Platypus
Wombat – had to try :)
Quokka !
Thong/s – looks like a blouse/top thing, underwear produces the same
Roo – they’re huge! – must be reds ;)
Tucker – gives option of food (a drumstick) or human. No idea who Tucker is meant to be.
Damper – a loaf of bread
Dingo – looks slightly different to a fox (I thought they might use the same graphic). Put a baby down and the dingo ate it which will please some and upset others.
Soft drink – a bottle of what looks suspiciously like Coke. Same as Soda.
Football – being a US version, gave me an American football although I doubt it would differentiate between that and a Rugby ball. The UK version might give a soccer ball though.
Drop Bear – works but gives a regular bear.
Shrimp – which isn’t bothered by being placed on the barbie
Akubra (Drizabone isn’t tho)
Bathers, togs, cozzies, swimmers – looks like some weird piece of body armour
Billy – choice of container (billy can :) or developer – some guy in a brown jacket. Probably one of the developers (duh!)
Bushranger – no, not wearing a Ned Kelly outfit. But…
Ned Kelly – !!! I was so excited when this looked like it was going to work, but then got a black duck-like bird. Same as Crow.
Bogan – as swordfish noted, it’s a hillbilly. Half buttoned overalls and what might be a straw hat.
Thunder Box – regular wooden box
Jail – but Gaol wasn’t recognised
Budgie Smugglers – a smuggler/thief
Snag – a sausage
Grouse – it’s a bird
Icy Pole – a regular pole
Hoop Snake – regular snake

Some of these unlocked new scenes on the title screen.

Some of the things it didn’t produce:
Grog, tinny, etc – Won’t do alcohol (in common form, it’s got a whole bunch of chemicals in and I don’t know what they all are)
Steve Irwin does not work
Fanny – “Did you mean: Fanboy” Almost appropriate :D
Drizabone – nothing generic to make it look like, I guess.
