Finding Nemo – Escape to the Big Blue is a video game released by Altron exclusively for Nintendo DS and Nintendo 3DS platforms on September 11, 2012. The game is based on the Finding Nemo series by Disney and Pixar. Like in Finding Nemo: The Continuing Adventures, the game takes place during the part where the end of the first film left off. Like in Finding Nemo: The Continuing Adventures, the game takes place where the Tank Gang escapes from the dentist’s office to find new homes in the ocean.

The game almost utilizes the same gameplay like in Finding Nemo: The Continuing Adventures, usually when the players start with each member of the Tank Gang by helping them escape Philip Sherman‘s office. To help each member escape, the player must navigate their way across the street to reach towards the ocean. The player must avoid certain types of obstacles such as cars, crabs, and seagulls while navigating each Tank Gang member to the ocean.

The player can earn also tokens (shells in the Special Edition version) for currencies in Interactive Reef mode (a feature not in The Continuing Adventures) where he gets to customize their ocean or aquarium to make it into a beautiful marine environment by adding decorations, characters, backgrounds, etc. Just like what happened in the previous game, the player will unlock a number of mini-games whenever they complete each Tank Gang member’s escape plan. To unlock a new mini-game, they must complete the one in Story Mode first.
