'''Drawn to Life: The Next Chapter''' is the non-canon sequel to ''[[Drawn to Life]]'', developed by [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planet_Moon_Studios Planet Moon Studios], and published by [[THQ]]. There is a canon version of the game developed by [[5th Cell]] for the DS, known as [[Drawn to Life: The Next Chapter]].

=={{Icon|Button}}Gameplay==
Like the previous [[Drawn to Life]], Drawn to Life: The Next Chapter is a platformer in which the player draws their own [[Hero]] to play as. New to the game is [[Action Drawing]] mode, which allows the player to draw directly into the game.

=={{Icon|Book}} Story==
The game is set after the original ''[[Drawn to Life]]'', and [[Mari]] is now the mayor of [[Rapoville]]. She also has an assistant named [[Circi]]. The creations of the village are being stolen, so [[Creator|The Creator]] sends [[Hero|The Hero]] to help the village once again. [[Jowee]] suggests that [[Zsasha]] has stolen the items and ran off into [[Jangala]]. Mari sends The Hero and Jowee to Jangala to find Zsasha, but they find out that Zsasha has been held captive by the [[Monkey King]]. Mari then realizes that Zsasha didn't steal the items, and fears that [[Wilfre]] has returned. She sends The Hero and Jowee to [[Shadow City]] to check for signs of Wilfre's presence. They find the ink factory making Shadow Creatures again, and they also find [[Wilfre's Journal]] which holds a plan to destroy The Creator. To do that, he needs the four [[Artifacts of Power]]: [[Branches from the Tree of Ages]], a [[Pen and Pencil]], the [[Eternal Furnace]] and the [[Crystal Mask]]. They already have a pen and pencil from Wilfre's journal, and the mask was given to them by the Monkey King. Mari then sends The Hero and Jowee to the [[Icy Wastes]] to retrieve the Eternal Furnace. After they find it [[Galileo]] tells them that the [[Tree of Ages]] is in trouble. The Hero goes to save it and obtain the branches. When all the items are together, Circi then reveals that she is in love with Wilfre. She uses the artifacts to try and bring Wilfre back from the dead and attempts to draw him, but forgets what he looks like. She accidentally creates the [[Giant Scribble Monster]] that attacks her and the village. The Hero must defeat it, and then the Raposa celebrate with a feast.

=={{Icon|Gears}} Features ==
===[[Action Drawing]]===
Action Drawing can be done during gameplay within certain areas defined by dashed lines, using the Wiimote as a pointer to draw.

* [[File:BlueBrush.png|30px]]'''Basic Ink (Blue)''': Introduced in 1-1, [[Jangala Floor]]. Creates a static platform or ramp for the Hero to stand on. The Hero can't jump through Basic Ink platforms, unless the player draws the platform without releasing the B button, then jumps above it and immediately releases B, making the platform solid.
* [[File:RedBrush.png|30px]]'''Physics Ink (Red)''': Introduced in 1-2, [[Jangala Climb]]. In-game explanation: "Action Drawings done in Physics Ink will immediately fall with gravity. They will also be affected by the world, enemies, and more!"
* [[File:GreenBrush.png|30px]]'''Bouncy Ink (Green): '''Introduced in 2-1, [[Shadow City Outer Walls]].  In-game explanation: "Action Drawings done in Bouncy Ink will bounce you away from the drawing when you come in contact with it."

===Cheat Codes===
* To get 100 free [[Rapo-Coins]]:
** Pause during play
** Hold the Wii remote upside down
** Enter A, B, C, Up (on D-pad)

=={{Icon|Forest}} Beta==
As with any form of entertainment, and especially with video games, many things were planned to be a part of this game, but were not implemented in the final release. A compilation of unused and removed features from this game can be found [[Unused & Removed Features/Wii|here]].

== {{IconSVG|Trivia}} Trivia ==
* The game was originally announced on May 26th, 2009 in tandem with its [[Drawn to Life: The Next Chapter|DS counterpart]].
* ''Drawn to Life: The Next Chapter (Wii)'' was confirmed not to be canon by [[Digital Continue]]<ref>[[File:Wiinotcanon.png|200px]]</ref>.
** This makes it the only game in the series to have its canonicity changed, as it was originally confirmed canon by [[Drawn to Life: The Next Chapter Credits|Matthew Pellicane]]<ref>[https://www.ign.com/articles/2009/05/27/pre-e3-2009-drawn-to-life-the-next-chapter-ds-interview Matthew Pellicane Interview]</ref>.
* Like the [[Drawn to Life|original installment]], the player gets to draw the world of Raposa at the start of the game.
** Unlike the original game, the Wii game doesn't let the player draw the trees and Raposa. Instead, the player gets to draw the sun and the moon.
* Like the [[Drawn to Life|original installment]], there are different tools for each world in-game.
** [[Jangala]] uses a [[Tail]].
** [[Shadow City]] uses [[Claws]].
** [[Icy Wastes]] uses a [[Sword]] and [[Skates]].
** [[Eastern Winds]] uses [[Wings (Wii)|Wings]] and a [[Shooter (Wii)|Shooter]].
* According to [[Jowee]], the game takes place during the summertime.
** Despite this, according to [[Heather]], she still goes to school over the summer.
* The Instruction Manuals for this game and its DS counterpart are both stylized to look like the [[Book of Life]].
* Instead of only featuring [[Shadow]], Ink and Scribble are also used by [[Circi]] to accomplish her goals. The ink is primarily manifested in [[Shadow City]] as the main plot device of the gate, and scribble is manifested exclusively in the [[Giant Scribble Monster]].
* Although [[Jowee]] states that [[Wilfre]]'s plan was to burn the [[Branches from the Tree of Ages]] in the [[Eternal Furnace]] to make Creation Ink, this plan is never carried out by Circi. In reality, she uses the Branches and Furnace, along with the other [[Artifacts of Power]] to create the [[Dark Mannequin]], upon which she tries to draw Wilfre.
** It is unknown whether this is a plot hole or a miscalculation of the plan on Jowee's part.
* According to Character Artist [[Drawn to Life: The Next Chapter (Wii) Credits|Eric Maki]] and Additional Artist [[Drawn to Life: The Next Chapter (Wii) Credits|Thomas Denmark]], the last six months of development were part of a crunch, meaning that the team was working long days, 6-7 days a week to get the game out on time.
* According to [[Drawn to Life: The Next Chapter (Wii) Credits|Scott Rogers]], the uDraw peripheral was created to make drawing on the Wii easier after seeing the difficultly of drawing with the Wii remote<ref>[https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:6777678150928359424/ Scott Rogers' LinkedIn]</ref>.
