Danny Phantom: The Ultimate Enemy is a video game for the Game Boy Advance console. It is based on the episode "The Ultimate Enemy" from the television series "Danny Phantom" and is the first video game for the series. Players play the role of Danny Phantom in his adventure to save Amity Park from a grim future and the hardest enemy Danny has ever faced: himself.
Plotline
The story opens up 10 years in the future in a derelict Amity Park. A rogue ghost tears down the city's powerful ghost shield with a mysterious power called the Ghostly Wail. An adult Valerie appears to stop the ghost, and the ghost is revealed to be Dark Danny: Danny Phantom's evil older-self.
Somewhere in the Ghost Zone, two ghosts called the Observers have taken notice of the destruction of Amity Park. A ghost named Clockwork the Master of Time decides that he will make sure Danny never becomes evil.
In present-day Casper High, Danny is worrying about the upcoming Career Aptitude Test (C.A.T) that determines a person's future, since he has not had much time to study. Mr. Lancer announces if the person fail the test he/she will be doom to a career at the Nasty Burger.
Danny returns home to FentonWorks where Jazz suggests Danny get to work studying. As the Fentons are working on a new ghost gadget "The Boo-oommerang" (a device that seeks out ghosts), a ghost suddenly appears behind Danny and he yells for Jazz to get out of his room, despite being in the kitchen. Jazz gets the idea and leaves so Danny can fight the ghost.
The ghost reveals herself to be Box Lunch, the daughter of the Box Ghost and the Lunch Lady. Danny then transforms into Danny Phantom and defeats her - but destroys the Nasty Burger in the process by causing the Nasty Sauce to explode. Danny finds a curious medallion Box Lunch left behind when she disappeared. Danny also accidentally phased through Mr. Lancer's briefcase where Lancer was keeping the C.A.T answer booklet. After finding the booklet stuck to his back, believing this is the answer to all of his studying problems.
Meanwhile, the Observers comment on this development revealing that they planted the test answers for Danny to find, hoping it will change him. The Observers are convinced Danny will still become evil because he made the wrong decision, but Clockwork insists otherwise.
Back in Danny's room, Tucker examines the medallion. Sam believes the medallion seems futuristic and then asks Danny what he plans to do with the test answers he found. Before Danny can debate about it, a ghost named SkulkTech 9.9 (the future Skulker and Technus combined) appears. Danny tells Sam and Tucker to find out what they can about the medallion while he goes to fight the ghost.
After SkulkTech 9.9 introduces himself, Tucker hacks into the ghost to stop him. SkulkTech 9.9 leads the battle back to the Nasty Burger and comments although "The Pummeler" does not work on Danny in the future, it will surely work in the present time. Danny is confused by this but he manage to defeat the ghost.
Using SkulkTech 9.9's time medallion, Danny, Sam, and Tucker arrive in Clockwork's lair where Clockwork reveals himself and battles Danny. Clockwork explains in the future, Danny has completely lost his humanity. The trio then conclude Danny's turning point was cheating on the C.A.T. Clockwork states he tried to change Danny's past, but since that did not work out, he will simply have to kill Danny. Danny, Sam, and Tucker then escape to the future.
The trio are surprised to see Amity Park in a state of ruin and then come across the future Valerie. Not realizing Danny is from the past, Valerie mistakes him for Dark Danny in disguise and attacks him until Sam and Tucker stop her. Valerie is shocked seeing them and speaks that in the future they are both dead. The real Dark Danny appears and claims responsibility for Sam and Tucker's deaths. Valerie tries to stop him but is defeated. Danny managed to save her and pass out. He urges Sam and Tucker to take off the time medallions and return to the present before Dark Danny can harm them. Danny is about to do the same until Dark Danny fuses the time medallion inside Danny's body, trapping him in the future. Dark Danny throws Danny into the Ghost Zone, then he travels to the past to ensure his past remain unchanged.
In the Ghost Zone, Danny encounters older-versions of Box Ghost, Ember, Johnny 13, and Kitty. When Danny thought he was finished he unleashes his Ghostly Wail and defeats them all at once. Then the Boo-oommerang hits his head with a note sent from Jazz, ten years before; to inform him that Vlad Masters should have the solution to the situation. Realizing his only hope to get back to the present is to find Vlad and pray that he can fix this mess.
After finding Vlad's ghost portal, Danny meets an old Vlad on the other side and Vlad explains what happened ten years ago and how Dark Danny was created:
When Danny's friends and family (including Mr. Lancer) were killed in an explosion at the Nasty Burger by his alter ego because he was caught cheating on the C.A.T, he had to live with Vlad. Surprisingly, instead of trying to harm Danny he sympathized with his pain. After much mental suffering, he wanted the ghost half of him ripped out of his body. It was successfully done with the Ghost Gauntlets, however the ghost turned out ruthless and ripped out Vlad's ghost half as well. Then the two merged into one evil ghost, that destroyed Vlad's mansion and killing human Danny. Thus, Dark Danny was born.
Danny then asks for Vlad to use the Ghost Gauntlets to remove the time immunity medallion from his body so he can defeat Dark Danny and set everything right. Meanwhile, in the present, despite Jazz's heroic actions, Dark Danny lures Danny's family and friends at the Nasty Burger to repeat their tragic fate. Danny has returned to the present and rushes to the Nasty Burger to have one final confrontation with his older self. Danny uses his Ghostly Wail, much to Dark Danny's surprise, and traps Dark Danny in the Fenton Thermos. Danny is about to go save his family when he realize he cannot transform into Danny Phantom due to exhaustion and couldn't save them in time. Clockwork appears however and sets everything right again.
At school, earlier today, Danny returns the C.A.T answer booklet to Mr. Lancer and he decides to allow Danny take the make-up exam the following week, preventing the tragic future. Jazz reveals her knowledge of Danny's ghost half, and is proud of her brother.
