If anybody was wondering, the plug and play console was a brick breaker, a 2d platformer that played like original donkey kong, and a maze where you play as patrick and you play the shell game a bunch while going through the maze.
55:20 Underrated game. This PC version is definitely inferior to the console version but it's still a fun collection of minigames with nice dialogue and good music.
Genuinely really sad he didn't have a good time with Revenge of the Flying Dutchman. That was the one I grew up with and it's got a bit of nostalgia factor for me. Also fun fact: if you let Squidward win in that race, you get some special dialogue.
I love how all three Spongebob movies are literally about Spongebob and his friends trying to find lost items. (1st Movie being Neptune’s Crown, 2nd Movie having The Secret Formula get taken, and the third one being, Gary.)
i have a soft spot for truth or square on wii, i started playing it during the height of the pandemic after getting nostalgic for it and it was really just what i needed ...also i like to get blind stinking drunk and play it. seriously idk why but licensed games and alcohol are such a good combination 😂
Oh God the original PC version was actually the only Spongebob game I had as a kid. I kinda liked it back then, even tho it was weird (probably cause I didnt know any actual good games) but when I think back it was a total fever dream I actually forgot about it until I saw it here
@@jakethedragonymaster1235 I'll have you know that I saw Sébastien Desjours's imdb page had both characters and I only cried like an anime fan on prom night for 20 minutes
I can’t believe I’m seeing it, with me own eye… A FULL 2 HOUR ANTDUDE SPONGEBOB RETROSPECTIVE!!!!!! ARRRRGH!!! (In seriousness, these are some of my favourite videos you’ve made and I can’t wait to rewatch them)
Figured we aren’t going to get a video on all stars brawl so Might as well talk about the controversy here. A major disappointment within the game was the fact that there was no VA unlike most other smash games and there weren’t any alternative costumes. But apparently that wasn’t on the devs, that was Nick basically doing what they do best and screwing over projects for no reason and didn’t give them access to those resources or even a big budget. A couple months later a spongebob tennis game for the apple arcade shadow dropped with neither restrictions and the director of ASB sent out a tweet that was basically the closest thing he could have said to fuck nick.
Yeah, it's likely they didn't have the budget or time to redo all of the voice lines, or wanted to spend it on something else. Apparently the game was also under heavy time constraints... I think Clancy Brown is unionized, so if they redid the lines for Krabs they'd have to redo the lines for the entire game.
Luckily they have added VA (and items, and alternate costumes) since then, but I'd say the damage has probably already been done. Hopefully if they ever make a Nick All-Stars Brawl 2, they'll be able to include those features at launch.
Boating bash is really good imo, the story mode gets you to play all the modes, the story is pretty unique, the soundtrack slaps harder then a tug boat at full speed. The characters audio that weren’t reused, they sound like they are having fun. Which I can see why, I constantly have to force myself to stop playing it. I would like a reydration version of boating bash and some others on the list
yknow, outside the context of a Spongebob episode, lines like "Goodbye, everybody; I'll remember you all in therapy." seem much older than the Target Audience...which means that Inside the context of a Spongebob episode, the show can get a little too real...
man the nostalgia I get after seeing Atlantis Squarepantis (DS version) is just intense since it was the first game I have ever played I just tear up looking at those old models.
The pc version of the movie game and employee of the month were some of my favorite games as a kid. Really happy u looked at them. Light camera pants on pc was another point and click, somehow less minigames. Kinda confused me as a kid, I thought if I made the best movie I could I would win the game, but it never happened.
Personally I adored Creature from the Krusty Krab and loved the different art styles in the early game so much and personaly i put it up with Battle for Bikkini Bottom and The Movie games as a sort of trilogy!
I used to have a SpongeBob plug and play, and that thing had a bunch of garbage mini games I succeed at, and I absolutely loved it! My childhood in a sponge box right there.
Great video!! I will say that thoroughly enjoyed revenge of the flying dutchman! A remaster of that, the movie game, and creature of krusty Krab would make me happy forever
AntDude: *Just uploads the entirety of the SpongeBob game restrospectives* Me, having just finished the playlist of videos on his channel: "Why, it tastes so good, I think I'll watch it a second time!"
My favorite Spongebob game was actually one that you bought from one of those Nickelodeon software game catalogues they sent out monthly. It was called Diner Dash and it was so much fun. I used to just play the levels until it got too complicated for my kid brain, then put it down and pick it up again in a few months. I went back to play it when I got a little older and it's actually not hard and very short, but I think that's fine for a kid audience. For an early 2000s task management game, it was great.
I remember the creature of the Kristy krab and I played it as a child and I really being traumatized by the car sequence, like those faces were so terrifying to me, it gave me goosebumps. This game feels like a fever dream and I don't even think I finished it
I loved playing Lights Camera Pants because whoever wins the mini games they lay out actually changes the cut scenes of the final movie product to show the characters getting to act in their chosen roles which was really cool
It warms my heart when I see someone has taken the time to improve neglected games - the passion and specific understanding of what the game could use to improve combined with player experience and years of technology and game design understanding maturation culminating in unbelievably satisfying ultimate editions of games. "it's too bad Nintendo didn't see it that way..."
They had stand in actors for Mermaid Man when the original died in 2012 to aid and keep the superhero's alive with Tim Conway, the voice actor of Barnacle Boy. Now with Conway passed away in 2019, the superhero's will forever be background appearances telling us the fans "Hey the actors might be gone, but the characters won't be."
28:59 still find it funny how Mrs.Puff doesn't even look distraught during this conversation. In fact, she seems to always use that animation whenever shes angry or scared
I didn't think he would actually like the DS version of Truth or Square. It's the one I had growing up and it gave me neck pains from looking at the bottom screen constantly since thats where most of the action is
30:20 I don't know if this has been said already, but the main thing is that the Spongebob cast's contract says that they all work together all the time, meaning that if you wanted to redo Mr. Krabs and Mermaid Man, The ENTIRE game would have to be re-voiced too, which is not only prohibitively expensive, but likely not possible given the amount of time the developers had.
The irony is that ive heard all sides of this now. There are people who genuinely love the changes you seem to hate and vice versa. Its an interesting conflict. Well except for the multiplayer part. Pretty much everyone hated that.
Im so happy to see someone actually critique rehydrated. So many people were just blatently posotive about it. Also one of the other things they cut was the health tutorial in spongebobs pinaples closset. In rehydrated you just magically take damage and it tells you to pick uo the underwear. In the original a safe flys out of the sky from nowhere and lands on spongebob.
I had no idea that Battle for Bikini Bottom was different on consoles than PC. I played on PC, so I was always a bit confused and swore I had played Battle for Bikini Bottom, turns out I played the PC version. I still have a lot of nostalgia for it and Employee of the Month.
I really wish this video was 4 seconds longer, so I could officially brag about how I watched some guy, play, and review every SpongeBob game, for 2 hours.
Well, jiggle-me-handles, Breature From The Krusty Karb, wasn't good? I'm as surprised as learning that Spongebob DIDN'T get his boating license(again), oh I know right? Who WOULDN'T want to give the likable Spongebob his boating license? It's a load of barnacles. Well, goodbye for now everyone, I'll remember you in therapy.
Shanghaied being the episode. Though the third wish screwed them over anyway, as they were turned into fruit, and about to become part of the Dutchman's smoothie
The only game I had on this whole list was the Drawn to Life spinoff. Got it on christmas one year- I think I could tell you everything that was going on when I got it. I never had the official Drawn to Life games, but I was an artsy kid and I played this game over and over again. It's really cool to see someone cover it, even if briefly.
As someone who's still got a bit of nostalgia for the GBA movie game, I just wanna add that I really liked that there were unlockable bonus stages. Like a LOT of unlockable bonus stages.
Looking at the SquarePants movie game is so nostalgic. I still have the disk and my ps2 - might have to complete the game again for the 20th time. I was obsessed with the game as a kid.
I absolutely adore Light Camera Pants as it played a huge role in my childhood. That is... When the game actually works. It takes literal hours for a minigame to load, and ohhh boyy the lag. It almost perfection imo, if it weren't for the excruciating waiting time and crashes.
The spongebob the movie game on gba is a big part of my childhood. I mostly played it during my grandpa's funeral when I was 6 years old. I didn't really understand what was going on at the time all I cared about was spongebob. Then I laughed at my dad for crying a lot.
I'm not gonna lie,,, the Atlantis SquarePantis wii game was my childhood. I have all the music in my head at random times. I do admit some things go on for too long but I'll always find the game fun and charming lmao
I played that GBC game as a kid and I haven't thought about it much since then but it might actually be a big part of why I always loved exploration in games
Claps all around to Ant for putting in so much time into playing all these games (which most were not so great) and being able to make these videos for us
The existence of "Battle for Bikini Bottom Rehydrated" is one of many examples I use to defend my opinion on why "Simpson's Hit and Run" doesn't need a remake. They are both great games based on legendary TV shows with massive amounts of source material. So they have enough assets to create direct sequels or entirely different titles...
I remember playing Boating Bash a couple of times growing up, and as my first SpongeBob video game when I was a really big fan of the show, it's not that bad. It was basically my version of Twisted Metal, lol
I‘ve never been a huge gamer but the SpongeBob games were a huge part of my childhood. I constantly played Battle for bikini bottom, revenge of the Flying Dutchman and creature from the crusty crab and the only thing keeping me from disliking these games now is nostalgia I guess but yeah … they‘re weirder than I remember
That harmonica megalovania intro hit my ears right before I took a sip of chocolate milk and if I had been two seconds earlier I most assuredly would have choked
So in defense of Creature from the Krusty Krab... um It's supposed to be the dreams of three people (well, a sponge, starfish and microorganism) within the dream of a snail, right... Dreams are usually chaotic, so maybe it kind of makes sense, that it makes no sense?
Anyone else find it weird that in both handheld versions of Atlantis Squarepantis, Patrick does that trimming combo with Mr Krabs despite the fact that it was Sandy who did it with him in the special? Why did they change that?
honestly, when it comes to Truth or Square, it was my first SpongeBob game and I'd definitely recommend the game to beginners/kids getting into games for the first time seeing as how it's fairly easy and not too long
I doubt anyone else has commented this but one thing about boating bash for the DS, I played it a lot as a kid with my brother and for some reason, everytime you complete a multiplayer race, battle game, or whatever, no matter who won or lost, the game kicks out all the other players from the one hosting and you have to reconnect everyone to another lobby every single time. Also this video gave me a rush of nostalgia after realizing that I've played/own half of these spongebob games
I remember wanting battle for bikinibottom So I got the pc one for my birthday as a kid Played it to death and when I a few years later talked about the game to people who had the console version, we were all just confused. Why did companies have 3 different games practically with the same name :( its just a shame honestly but I will cherish the fun time I had with it
I’m pretty sure the state of his sanity at the end is a perfect reason why you shouldn’t ask questions you’re not prepared to handle the answers to.

Well, jiggle-me-handles, Breature From The Krusty Karb, wasn't good? I'm as surprised as learning that Spongebob DIDN'T get his boating license(again), oh I know right? Who WOULDN'T want to give the likable Spongebob his boating license? It's a load of barnacles. Well, goodbye for now everyone, I'll remember you in therapy.
38:41 someone must've complained to Microsoft, because guess where you can play Truth or Square now?
Actually there *was* an episode of Spongebob wherein The Dutchman granted three wishes, so he does have the ability.
Shanghaied being the episode. Though the third wish screwed them over anyway, as they were turned into fruit, and about to become part of the Dutchman's smoothie

There were two other endings actually that ones just the one they stuck with after the first airing.
@@fritzy8318 wait there were??? I need to check these out
The only game I had on this whole list was the Drawn to Life spinoff. Got it on christmas one year- I think I could tell you everything that was going on when I got it. I never had the official Drawn to Life games, but I was an artsy kid and I played this game over and over again. It's really cool to see someone cover it, even if briefly.
As someone who's still got a bit of nostalgia for the GBA movie game, I just wanna add that I really liked that there were unlockable bonus stages. Like a LOT of unlockable bonus stages.
Dammit truth or square was my childhood, if I got to play it again I’d cry
Looking at the SquarePants movie game is so nostalgic. I still have the disk and my ps2 - might have to complete the game again for the 20th time. I was obsessed with the game as a kid.
Viewers: how many spongebob references do you want to make
Antdude: yes.
I absolutely adore Light Camera Pants as it played a huge role in my childhood.
That is... When the game actually works.
It takes literal hours for a minigame to load, and ohhh boyy the lag.
It almost perfection imo, if it weren't for the excruciating waiting time and crashes.
The spongebob the movie game on gba is a big part of my childhood. I mostly played it during my grandpa's funeral when I was 6 years old. I didn't really understand what was going on at the time all I cared about was spongebob. Then I laughed at my dad for crying a lot.

yeah whenever I hear 25 I too can only think of "New Student Starfish"
I'm not gonna lie,,, the Atlantis SquarePantis wii game was my childhood. I have all the music in my head at random times. I do admit some things go on for too long but I'll always find the game fun and charming lmao
I played Employee of the Month! Still have it! Don’t think I can still play it, but it was…. odd from what I remember.
I love these retrospective videos
One of the few almost 2 hour long videos that I consistently come back to, great work on the vid(s)!!
I remember a plug and play racing game like Mario Kart and it was shaped like a wheel with motion controls. It was pretty fun.
I played that GBC game as a kid and I haven't thought about it much since then but it might actually be a big part of why I always loved exploration in games
Good Job! These reviews are really great but there is one thing you haven’t covered. The Flash Games.
Claps all around to Ant for putting in so much time into playing all these games (which most were not so great) and being able to make these videos for us
The existence of "Battle for Bikini Bottom Rehydrated" is one of many examples I use to defend my opinion on why "Simpson's Hit and Run" doesn't need a remake.
They are both great games based on legendary TV shows with massive amounts of source material. So they have enough assets to create direct sequels or entirely different titles...
I remember playing Boating Bash a couple of times growing up, and as my first SpongeBob video game when I was a really big fan of the show, it's not that bad. It was basically my version of Twisted Metal, lol
The movie game will always be my favorite. So many memories!!!
I‘ve never been a huge gamer but the SpongeBob games were a huge part of my childhood. I constantly played Battle for bikini bottom, revenge of the Flying Dutchman and creature from the crusty crab and the only thing keeping me from disliking these games now is nostalgia I guess but yeah … they‘re weirder than I remember
But the Patrick superhero levels in creature from the crusty crab were the shit back then, you can‘t change my mind
Rehydrated looks so pretty. The original had more muted colors. I love the brighter colors. Especially rock bottom, the neon lights look so good.
As a kid, I got Creature from the Krusty Krab from Blockbuster and I was obsessed with that comic book art style!
That harmonica megalovania intro hit my ears right before I took a sip of chocolate milk and if I had been two seconds earlier I most assuredly would have choked
So in defense of Creature from the Krusty Krab... um It's supposed to be the dreams of three people (well, a sponge, starfish and microorganism) within the dream of a snail, right...
Dreams are usually chaotic, so maybe it kind of makes sense, that it makes no sense?
BFBB will always be one of my childhood games man, it was incredible! 😭
Speaking of Incredible the Incrdibles game for PS2 was great definitely a favorite and I would love to see an remaster like Crash Spyro and BFBB did
Anyone else find it weird that in both handheld versions of Atlantis Squarepantis, Patrick does that trimming combo with Mr Krabs despite the fact that it was Sandy who did it with him in the special? Why did they change that?
One thing the remake decently fixed was Kelp Forest, the extra lighting in my opinion made it easier to see where your going ( in my opinion )
honestly, when it comes to Truth or Square, it was my first SpongeBob game and I'd definitely recommend the game to beginners/kids getting into games for the first time seeing as how it's fairly easy and not too long
I really enjoyed truth or square when I was a kid. I can’t imagine how many hours I actually put in on it
I doubt anyone else has commented this but one thing about boating bash for the DS, I played it a lot as a kid with my brother and for some reason, everytime you complete a multiplayer race, battle game, or whatever, no matter who won or lost, the game kicks out all the other players from the one hosting and you have to reconnect everyone to another lobby every single time.
Also this video gave me a rush of nostalgia after realizing that I've played/own half of these spongebob games
This is super handy for rewatching! Thanks!
@Alice ❤️ reported :)
@I am a PERSON I reported her too!
@@TheletterK7116 thanks!
The fact that you talked about spongebob for almost 2 hours is super impresive haha
This is 5 different videos
@@jbfarley i know but still its just funny to me that he made so much videos about spongebob
@Lisfa Ensa 📽️ nice virus you have over there little bot
I remember wanting battle for bikinibottom
So I got the pc one for my birthday as a kid
Played it to death and when I a few years later talked about the game to people who had the console version, we were all just confused.
Why did companies have 3 different games practically with the same name :( its just a shame honestly but I will cherish the fun time I had with it
I’ve been waiting for this!
Friendly reminder that Kirby with a gun comes out March 25th
These were great videos. Next you should do all the Ice Age games
