Unexpected Great Game
A lot of people may think that Spongebob Squarepants games are just okay and forgettable, understandable as licensed tie-in games often have lackluster reputations. This game, however, goes beyond that expectation and managed to be one of the finest 3D platformer I have ever played. This game is structured pretty similarly to Mario Sunshine and Banjo-Kazooie as you have to explore multiple different maps and get the collectables such as shiny things, socks, and gold spatula. The main goal throughout the game is to get the gold spatula which can be achieved by exploring the maps and doing various tasks. All the tasks are filled with endless fun and this game will keep you interested throughout the game. It also gives you the option to play as Spongebob, Patrick, and Sandy. However, you will be mostly playing as Spongebob as it is his game after all. All 3 of these characters are built very differently so it never feel like you're playing as the same characters. It is hard to explain the gameplay in this review but I can assure that the gameplay is excellent and is full of fun. The brilliant thing about this game is how much it pays homage to the show. All the maps are excellent recreation of the locations from the show such as kelp forest, jellyfish fields, sand mountain, Flying Dutchman's Graveyard, Goo Lagoon, and so on. This game makes you feel like you're going through the show. The graphic is pretty great. The scenery is colorful and really matches the aesthetic of the show. With the character models, the characters are very on-model to the show and are expressive. It's quite impressive how detailed Spongebob's expression is in the cutscenes. There are some models that do look a bit weird but it could be that the technology wasn't perfect at the time. Overall, the graphic holds up pretty well in this game. However, there are couple of problems I have with this game. I do not like how all the cutscenes are played without close captioning which can be a big problem for a deaf person like me. It's a shame as the cutscenes are well done and funny. Another thing I don't like is how difficult this game can get at some parts. The Kelp Forest is the worst offender due to its dark color scheme and confusing maps which can be difficult to get through. Good thing is players don't need to clear the entire Kelp Forest to finish the game. There are other examples of difficulty spikes but I won't be stating them in this review. Finally, the music is just downright excellent for this game. Most of the songs in this game is catchy and really captures the tropical feeling, fitting for Spongebob. It also has few songs that will surprise the players with how different it sound like the final level theme. It has short soundtrack but it sure is filled to the brim with quality songs. Spongebob Squarepants: Battle for Bikini Bottom stands as one of the best 3D platformer I have ever played and it says much for a commercialized licensed game. It presents great graphic, gameplay, musics, and attention to details to the show. This game is a great homage to the show and would be very well enjoyed by every Spongebob fans. I highly recommend this game.

Look at that little sponge go.
Played it on Xbox when I was younger. Recently discovered there was a speedrunning community. I wanted to play it again with this new knowledge of glitches and whatnot, but by then our old Xbox copy–and our old Xbox—was long gone, so I got the Gamecube version instead. Quite fun - I'm glad I got it.
