I've been reading a whole bunch of comments of people explaining that they own the Spongebob plug and play with the same outershell but with different games? I vaguely knew that there could be different games with a different shell but this seems to be a common comment. Could it be that I have a rare or shortly supplied version of the plug and play... thoughts?
Based on light research. This came out in 2003 and the one you have is a different one JAKKS Pacific made later on. Yours has music and a A button, with better... Um "graphics" and looks better with the back grounds. The one most of us have is the 2003 one. Think of it as we have the 1.0 edition and you have the 1.2 edition. Because let's be real, this is a improvement just not a big one. I recommend a video for this not just so you can say you played Sponge Souls Prequel, but also get to say "I beat Donkey Kong without the Donkey Kong."
I had the same spongebob plug n play but it was completely different. Same shape but the A button was just a button, no letter on it. The graphics were washed out some how with a lot of blue. The brick breaker clone is there but the rest was completely different. There was a game were you shot hooks away fom your friends before the get hooked; and hoisted away. There was a auto side scroller shooter with Sandy. Patrick with a maze Adventure that you have to find your friend by playing there mini games. Finally there's a Donkey Kong clone but with a blue background, actually this one was one of my favorite games. Edit: for all those who wanted to know. I beat the Brick Braker, Donkey Kong, and Hooked some how. Sandy shooter had a part where I died by not noticing the stars that killed me. As for the Patrick maze.... I mostly made it to Mr krabs and. Squidward before going to school. I did once get to Spongebob but died because I had one life and I had no Idea how it works. I was a kid that popped in the game and ignore the instructions back then. Now a days I read them so I know how I'm getting my ass handed to me by a A.I tomato with a stick.
I have very fond memories of the Breakout clone and the Donkey Kong game, but little me could never beat the Sandy sidescroller or figure out the maze game
@@JuiciestNipple Sandy side scroller was hard for me. As for Patrick maze. I made it to spongebob once and never got to it ever again because I was to distracted by better games.
I had this same one with brick breaker but weirdly enough it had different games from the one in the video and the one you're talking about. Seems that used that controller design frequently
Yup, this version was harder than the one he reviewed hilariously enough. Completing the maze was hard AF because it had a bunch of levels and stages but getting to the end required you to play exceedingly well because getting merked by jellyfish in the field or screwing up the mini games will eventually end in losing all lives and having to totally restart.
A few things for anyone to know: -that specific round-shaped Pac-Man Plug & Play can be found easier if you know it's name. It's called "Arcade Gold Featuring Pac-Man" and was made by Jakks Pacific. It's actually not using an emulator, and those arcade games were ports specifically made for the Plug & Play units. -yes, there are two different SpongeBob Plug & Play units that look vaguely the same. The easiest thing to tell them apart is that the old 2003 unit has one big unlabeled fire button, while the unit in the video (also known as "SpongeBob SquarePants: Jellyfish Dodge" on the box) has two buttons, labeled A and B. The Jellyfish Dodge unit actually had a completely different design when it was first released in 2007, but in 2009 was re-released in the way that looks similar to the 2003 unit. -"Sponge Pop" is a sort of revamp of "SpongeBob's Bubble Pop" from the 2003 unit. -the revamped "Sponge Pop" and "Snowball Showdown" actually originate from a GameKey (separately sold cartridge for specific Plug & Play units which were marked as "GameKey Ready"). The GameKey only works with the Nickelodeon (NK) type units that are GameKey Ready. as for why I would even begin to know any of this... I don't know I was bored one day and remembered the plug & plays I used to have. I fell down a rabbit hole of mostly useless knowledge lmao
thank you for confirming that i in fact did have a different one! i recognized the bubble pop game, but remember the chum bucket and patrick maze games and was confused why they werent there.
I had the one with these games but the different design. The design was that of spongebob chasing some jellyfish, with the joystick being a jellyfish, and so were the buttons. This is so nostalgic, I remember playing this at 5 or 6 years old.
This video is so weird for me. I had this same spongebob nose plug n play as a kid, but the bubble pop game was the only one that was the same. Instead of the other three; mine had a maze game where patrick goes around rescuing the other characters from jellyfish and clams, a sidescrolling shooter game where Sandy rides a surfboard and shoots at incoming sea urchins, and a donkey kong style platformer set inside the chum bucket.
You just unlocked a memory I completely forgot about. I also had that exact Spongebob plug and play and remember getting Patrick shocked and how I couldn't find the other characters.
I had one that looked exactly the same with the bubble game but the main game was this 50 level obstacle/strategy game where you're in the chum bucket trying to retrieve the formula and it was hard af!
And invasion of the hooks too right? I was looking for a comment with all the games I remembered on mine because I started to wonder if I was going crazy 😵
I used to have that exact SpongeBob face Plug in play. It was pretty fun for like 25 minutes but I was a kid and the games were too hard so I stopped playing. I still enjoyed it enough for this video to give me extreme nostalgia. I unfortunately lost it though so Rip.
I had another of these as a kid, same shell with the Spongebob nose, but it had different games than these, though they seem to share Sponge Pop. The other games I recall were a Donkey Kong clone, some kind of maze game, and some kind of shmup that took place at night. It's been long enough where I can't recall the names, but man I remember playing them a lot, especially the maze one.
I had one with bubble pop and a weird donkey kong clone where a gap was hidden by your lives, so you wouldn't see it was a hole until you fell in once.
Weird. I guess there’s different versions of the SpongeBob nose plug and play. My version only shares bubble pop with yours. All my other games were different. There was a burger time clone, a game with sandy shell surfing, a maze game, and one where you have to stop your friends from getting taken by the hooks
@@shawshank7824 You describe an older model. This one has a new sound system and engine. Pac-Man received the same treatment following a 2006 release with 5 games. Unique to it was the original Rally-X
I had a SpongeBob one (yes, the one with the nose. The games I had on it weren’t the same though) and a power rangers one, my grandma still has them I believe.
I had the different one as well. There was a similar bubble pop one, but there was also a hooks game, a sandy cheeks auto scroller shooter game, a donkey kong ripoff against plankton, and a game where you play as patrick in a maze armed with a net via legend of zelda style
@@joeexotik7033 That's the one I was expecting him to talk about. Thankfully I had both growing up anyways, but I definitely got to play the one he discusses more
The one I played at a cousins' house when I was little was a 2-player "spongebob at the olympics" game or something. I was super young but I recall the games making no sense lol
I had an identical looking plug-n-play but aside from SpongePop, the games were different. That must've been really confusing to kids, to have two identical looking plug-n-plays but with mostly different games.
Bro, the way you imitated the strange victory dances made me laugh out loud, I tried doing it myself and that snowball one is even stranger than you made it look, he's hopping one foot to another while clapping his hands in a wide swing motion... How you do that all at once I have no idea.
I had one of a similar shell but it had the fry cook games on it. It was like 8 mini games and honestly was pretty fun. Had difficulty settings and a whole leaderboard in the plug n play
The one I had came with totally different games aside from the Bubble Pop one. There was a platformer with SpongeBob traversing the Chum Bucket like Donkey Kong, A Labyrinth where Patrick has to go through and rescue characters(I remember vividly the clam musical chairs segment), and a Sandy game where you surf through tight tunnels while avoiding obstacles kinda like Turtles in Time or Battle Toads.
I had the SpongeBob nose plug n play, but with different games 😮 I was tripping out thinking I forgot all those games you showed until I looked it up, and yep. They made identical shells with different games. Bet that was confusing for parents buying these for their kids.
I remembered this vaguely but once I saw that goo lagoon level my whole life flashed before my eyes and I remembered all the suffering I endured from my spongebob plug and play
I had a completely different spongebob nose control plug and play. It had a maze like game, one where you had to shoot fish hooks before they stole your friends, and two more that I can't remember, but weren't any of the ones explained here.
YES! I had a different one as well! It was the same SpongeBob nose design. It had the breakout clone, but none of the others mentioned. It had the two you described, as well as one that was a donkey kong like game with Plankton robots, and a Sandy shoot em up. I found it pretty easily by just searching for spongebob plug and play.
@@Scienceboy0 the plankton robot one sounds familiar, perhaps we had the same variant, and I just never played much of the Sandy shooter, or the breakout game.
I had that SpongeBob plugnplay, I don’t remember these games being on it though, granted it’s been like 15 years so I could be wrong. Along the first Nicktoons one, a PAC-Man one, a Star Wars Darth Vader and R2-D2 shaped ones, and a Spider-Man one. This was a nice blast to the past.
I had this exact plug n play from early childhood, jelly fish dodge was probably the best one and I played it for hours, even though i sucked at it. seeing these games again brings back so many memories
I used to have exactly this plug n play and I remember playing it for hours when I was a kid. The model I had used a jellyfish as a joystick instead of Spongebob’s nose tho
I was born in 2007, the time of the Wii. But I did own a SpongeBob plug n play (same shell different games) and an Atari 2600 plug n play. BUT the Nintendo Wii and SNES were the first consoles I played on.
I had this plug n play growing up. Something's weird though... Only 1 of the games you showed we're on my plug n play. It looked identical to yours and it had the bubble pop game. Instead of the other though, it had a Patrick maze game and a chum bucket donkey Kong clone. I'm spacing out on the 4th game, a puzzle game or something? I wanna be told I'm not crazy.
I used to have a Spongebob Frycook Games plug n play, I haven't played it in years (battery acid be damned), but I remember it being unreasonably fun for what it was
I used to have the spongebob plug and play when I was a little kid. I remember one time my mom and my cousin had a competition to see who could get further on the spongepop game. My mom got to like the 4th level, but my cousin lasted a while, but eventually the game crashed lol. That plug and play is so nostalgic for me man, 'cause those 4 games were probably the first video games I ever played
That's the one I remember, It had the breakout game, a sandy space shooter, a platformer in the chumbucket, that Patrick maze game, and probably something else I don't remeber.
Wait what? We’re there multiple versions of this? I had this exact same one as a kid but don’t remember any of these games (Aside from the ball one). Mine had a maze game where you played as Patrick finding his friends, a DK arcade clone where you played as SpongeBob in the chum bucket, one where you shot burgers at fishing hooks to save your friends, and a side scrolling space ship shooter one where you played as sandy.
I loved these growing up. I had a StarWars General grievous one, a WWE RAW vs Smackdown one, a frogger one, and the SpongeBob one that was just his head.
I had the dora the explorer one, when I saw it in the video it literally unlocked memories from playing one of the games which was in a mine, and you had to do or collect something while switching lanes on a mine cart, I’m pretty sure it had a few other game modes (like 4 or 6) but the mine cart one was the most memorable
1:54 I actually used to have that Plug n Play variant as well while owning multiple consoles that came out before the Wii at the time. It is strange that nobody gives that thing away despite it not being as rare as it seems.
Nostalgic - I had a plug-n-play with these exact games except the shell was different. Instead of Spongebob's face, I believe it was a jellyfish, with the top of the joystick also being a jellyfish. Your thoughts on the games were pretty accurate to how I remember them
Okay, since there are two distinct versions of the Spongebob nose plug'n'play that the comments are aware of, I'd like to comment on how well done the video is. Brought back memories of me receiving it on my birthday as a kid and playing it until midnight, fueled by gummy krabby patty candy. Also, 4:30 that grey IP in between Spongebob and Danny Phantom is Waffles from "Catscratch" . I'll take my veteran card by mail.
i had a spongebob plug n play with completely different games. spongebob pop was still there, but there was also a maze game where you play as patrick and have to find your friends and complete mini games in order to "save" them, a side scroller shoot-em-up where you play as sandy riding a flying clam shell shooting a bunch of enemies that come flying at you, a donkey kong clone where you play as spongebob and navigate your way through the chum bucket to save sandy, and a game where you again play as spongebob and throw krabby patties at fishing hooks to stop them from snatching up your friends. it was pretty fun
Wait, so you're still in High School? Damn, I just graduated this year and my first introduction to gaming was Angry Birds on my dad's Kindle. For those who don't believe me, he says it here 10:11
05:01 The magical TV that goes right into the TV, already has a TV inside, and it comes in the shape of spongebob's TV That's like what, that's 80 SPONGEBOBS in one
Cool to see that Plug in play. I have a plug in play that looks exactly like that but has different games, while it still as the atari break out game it has 3 different ones. The first one you play as SpongeBob in a platformer trying to get to the top of the Chum bucket, the second one you play as Patrick in a maze that you are trying to finding other characters in, never really understood the minigames in that one, then the third one if I remember correctly you played as Sandy sliding on a clam board, while you avoid obstacles.
I used to have the Nicktoons one as well! If i remember correctly it also had a Rocket Power game loaded into it. I was very curious why it had a cartridge sticking out of it. Apparently in other regions you could take that cartridge out and swap it with another one that had a different set of games but it seems on the one I had it was pretty much glued there. I didn't attempt to force it out since I'm 100% sure my parents wouldn't replace it if it broke lol
To join in the chorus here--I also had the Spongebob face plug 'n' Play with different games! I remember very little about it, though, unfortunately. I think one of the games was based on the Fry Cook Games episode? And one of them may have been an obstacle course. Idk, I spent far more time playing Dream Life and plug 'n' play baseball lol
5:33 I used to own a SpongeBob plug and play. I have a vivid memory of my mom and brothers playing it again after like 5 or more years or it being left in the drawer. They played Sponge Pop. The graphics were a huge melting mess of blue and pink and at one point it went "ding!" and it crashed into a bunch of glitchy pixels. Very unnerving
The memories I have of the Spongebob plug n play were amazing. I also had the Spongebob kart plug n play that was pretty neat with motion controls and stuff
I totally forgot about these and this was definitely a trip down nostalgia lane, I used to have so, so many plug n plays and specifically the SpongeBob ones was my favorite. Except I had a totally different one that looked identical, it had a crabby patty stacking game, that jelly fish dodge, the snow game, and an Olympic style hurdle game against Patrick
9:19-9:25 Ah yes, my favorite aspect of the world of spongebob was the lives system. It was really a shock to see how many squidward lost without getting a game over, my man can inexplicably explode almost as much as bowser can fall into lava Also I had the spongebob nose one as a kid but I remember something about the wires being busted so it didn't work right. I LOVED the one that looked like spongebob's house though, the look was great the buttons were satisfying and you could make a krabby patty in one of the games. don't remember jack about any of the other games I mostly just made the nastiest patties I could think of over and over again
i love finding a video with a good amount of views and seeing the channel has more views on this than subs. this is mad entertaining and funny, hope to see more in the future.
I had that exact same plug and play as a kid. I loved it, especially since I was obsessed with SpongeBob back then. I have no idea what happened to it but I’ve got good memories of it
Oh wow I think i had that nose spongebob plug and play because when you showed the gameplay of it, I instantly remembered playing it. I was like 5 when I played it and couldn't quite remember what it looked like but I instantly knew when you showed the menu. I never thought I would see gameplay again. Thank you
I had a different Spongebob plug n' play. It was light blue, and had molded art on top. I can't remember it in any more detail than that (looked on Ebay for "Spongebob plug n play", and I think it's the light blue one with jellyfish, and a jellyfish as the handle of the joystick). I also had (and still have) a Ms. Pac-Man plug n' play, _with Galaga._ It also has Ms. Pac-Man (duh lol), Xevious (never beat it, super hard), Pole Position (racing game, took forever to figure out that you steer by rotating the joystick rather than moving it), and Mappy. That was probably my favorite as a child.
I remember breaking my spongebob plug n play in the backyard of a previous house I lived in because the batteries ran out... I also have a false memory of me singing to said spongebob plug n play in hopes that it would work again...
I had a SpongeBob plug in play, but the move stick was SpongeBob's nose, but the 'holes' were like holes and that they were like color, I also still have my old TV that you used to to plug in any wire like red, yellow and white. Surprisingly the TV still works.
I randomly clicked on this video, and the second you said “you loved the border last time” i had this moment where i thought “oh shit, is this the guy that made the where’s my water video??” I LOVED both that video and this one, and subscribed to see what comes next.
SpongeBob Bubble Pop was a staple of my childhood. My dad, my brother, and I would play for hours and hours every week. I still have the console in a drawer but the cords were destroyed like a decade ago.
I'm so confused.. I swore I had one of these as a kid but the games looked completely different! I can't even find images of the ones mine had, though it was the same looking model as yours... Weird.
this was super fun and it was cool to hear about someone else who had their first introduction to video games through plug n play games! if you ever wanna cover more plug n play consoles I'd be very interested...
I had a couple of these plug and plays, including the spongebob one, and a Disney one. we also had a weird wii knock off plug and play that had these blue "wiimotes" that had no motion whatsoever
Oh I had one with the bubble pop game, the hooky game, Sandy's surfing, Patrick's maze, and the donkey Kong knock off chum bucket game. I remember beating the chum bucket and Patrick's maze as a kid; not to mention I got really far in the bubble pop game (I think like level 300ish) but had to stop playing. Was terrible at Sandy's surfing though.
I used to play that Camp Nicktoons one all the time as a kid. Heck, I even played it for a bit after I got a Wii because I used to think it was that fun.
I've been reading a whole bunch of comments of people explaining that they own the Spongebob plug and play with the same outershell but with different games? I vaguely knew that there could be different games with a different shell but this seems to be a common comment.

I myself own a plug and play spongebob thingy
I think it's like what you said at 2:22 , mixing up games using the same casing because it more more available or something
Yea the one i owned there was a kelp forest everyone was lost in

It had the two you described, as well as one that was a donkey kong like game with Plankton robots, and a Sandy shoot em up. I found it pretty easily by just searching for spongebob plug and play.
@@Scienceboy0 the plankton robot one sounds familiar, perhaps we had the same variant, and I just never played much of the Sandy shooter, or the breakout game.
I had that SpongeBob plugnplay, I don’t remember these games being on it though, granted it’s been like 15 years so I could be wrong. Along the first Nicktoons one, a PAC-Man one, a Star Wars Darth Vader and R2-D2 shaped ones, and a Spider-Man one. This was a nice blast to the past.
I had this exact plug n play from early childhood, jelly fish dodge was probably the best one and I played it for hours, even though i sucked at it. seeing these games again brings back so many memories
3:55 is the loudest lightning strike I’ve heard online and I love it, nearly pissed myself from the scare
I used to have exactly this plug n play and I remember playing it for hours when I was a kid. The model I had used a jellyfish as a joystick instead of Spongebob’s nose tho
I was born in 2007, the time of the Wii. But I did own a SpongeBob plug n play (same shell different games) and an Atari 2600 plug n play. BUT the Nintendo Wii and SNES were the first consoles I played on.
I had this plug n play growing up. Something's weird though... Only 1 of the games you showed we're on my plug n play. It looked identical to yours and it had the bubble pop game. Instead of the other though, it had a Patrick maze game and a chum bucket donkey Kong clone. I'm spacing out on the 4th game, a puzzle game or something? I wanna be told I'm not crazy.
I have the same one! Glad to know I'm not crazy either lol
I used to have a Spongebob Frycook Games plug n play, I haven't played it in years (battery acid be damned), but I remember it being unreasonably fun for what it was
I used to have the spongebob plug and play when I was a little kid. I remember one time my mom and my cousin had a competition to see who could get further on the spongepop game. My mom got to like the 4th level, but my cousin lasted a while, but eventually the game crashed lol.
That plug and play is so nostalgic for me man, 'cause those 4 games were probably the first video games I ever played
My SpongeBob Plug & Play (yes, also the one with the nose) had a maze game in it. I remember being that one the most vividly lol
That's the one I remember, It had the breakout game, a sandy space shooter, a platformer in the chumbucket, that Patrick maze game, and probably something else I don't remeber.
Seeing the breakout mini game after 9 years unlocked some ancient feeling I've never had before
12:44 alert!
You got -240 bitches from that dance
6:50 EYO you skinny af dude
Wait what? We’re there multiple versions of this? I had this exact same one as a kid but don’t remember any of these games (Aside from the ball one). Mine had a maze game where you played as Patrick finding his friends, a DK arcade clone where you played as SpongeBob in the chum bucket, one where you shot burgers at fishing hooks to save your friends, and a side scrolling space ship shooter one where you played as sandy.
You are absolutely hilarious! Came for the funny SpongeBob console, staying for your charm.
I loved these growing up. I had a StarWars General grievous one, a WWE RAW vs Smackdown one, a frogger one, and the SpongeBob one that was just his head.
I had the dora the explorer one, when I saw it in the video it literally unlocked memories from playing one of the games which was in a mine, and you had to do or collect something while switching lanes on a mine cart, I’m pretty sure it had a few other game modes (like 4 or 6) but the mine cart one was the most memorable
1:54 I actually used to have that Plug n Play variant as well while owning multiple consoles that came out before the Wii at the time. It is strange that nobody gives that thing away despite it not being as rare as it seems.
Nostalgic - I had a plug-n-play with these exact games except the shell was different. Instead of Spongebob's face, I believe it was a jellyfish, with the top of the joystick also being a jellyfish. Your thoughts on the games were pretty accurate to how I remember them
yeah, same here
Okay, since there are two distinct versions of the Spongebob nose plug'n'play that the comments are aware of, I'd like to comment on how well done the video is. Brought back memories of me receiving it on my birthday as a kid and playing it until midnight, fueled by gummy krabby patty candy.
Also, 4:30 that grey IP in between Spongebob and Danny Phantom is Waffles from "Catscratch" . I'll take my veteran card by mail.
4:51 Sounds like Sonic LOLOL
i had a spongebob plug n play with completely different games. spongebob pop was still there, but there was also a maze game where you play as patrick and have to find your friends and complete mini games in order to "save" them, a side scroller shoot-em-up where you play as sandy riding a flying clam shell shooting a bunch of enemies that come flying at you, a donkey kong clone where you play as spongebob and navigate your way through the chum bucket to save sandy, and a game where you again play as spongebob and throw krabby patties at fishing hooks to stop them from snatching up your friends. it was pretty fun
Wait, so you're still in High School? Damn, I just graduated this year and my first introduction to gaming was Angry Birds on my dad's Kindle.
For those who don't believe me, he says it here 10:11
05:01 The magical TV that goes right into the TV, already has a TV inside, and it comes in the shape of spongebob's TV
That's like what, that's 80 SPONGEBOBS in one
Cool to see that Plug in play. I have a plug in play that looks exactly like that but has different games, while it still as the atari break out game it has 3 different ones. The first one you play as SpongeBob in a platformer trying to get to the top of the Chum bucket, the second one you play as Patrick in a maze that you are trying to finding other characters in, never really understood the minigames in that one, then the third one if I remember correctly you played as Sandy sliding on a clam board, while you avoid obstacles.
Okay good glad to see someone else also had that one! Because I did not recognize any of these games in the video except for the same break out one
I like how you chose a different soundfont version of Rondo Alla Turca for your outro this time
(Last time was PC-98, this time was SNES)
I used to have the Nicktoons one as well! If i remember correctly it also had a Rocket Power game loaded into it.
I was very curious why it had a cartridge sticking out of it. Apparently in other regions you could take that cartridge out and swap it with another one that had a different set of games but it seems on the one I had it was pretty much glued there. I didn't attempt to force it out since I'm 100% sure my parents wouldn't replace it if it broke lol
To join in the chorus here--I also had the Spongebob face plug 'n' Play with different games! I remember very little about it, though, unfortunately. I think one of the games was based on the Fry Cook Games episode? And one of them may have been an obstacle course. Idk, I spent far more time playing Dream Life and plug 'n' play baseball lol
The Fry Cook games plug n play was the GOAT
I'm kinda interested in that Spongebap boardgame. A game like Mario Party seems much more in-depth than what was common on these things
5:33
I used to own a SpongeBob plug and play. I have a vivid memory of my mom and brothers playing it again after like 5 or more years or it being left in the drawer. They played Sponge Pop. The graphics were a huge melting mess of blue and pink and at one point it went "ding!" and it crashed into a bunch of glitchy pixels. Very unnerving
6:16 wow it's t3rr0r!!!
The memories I have of the Spongebob plug n play were amazing. I also had the Spongebob kart plug n play that was pretty neat with motion controls and stuff
What was the mario meme at 1:21
I've been years wishing for content on this plug n play I never managed to get back on. Thank you so much for this video
Wii u best console
Gotta love that this is the first comment.
so true
Frfr.
I totally forgot about these and this was definitely a trip down nostalgia lane, I used to have so, so many plug n plays and specifically the SpongeBob ones was my favorite. Except I had a totally different one that looked identical, it had a crabby patty stacking game, that jelly fish dodge, the snow game, and an Olympic style hurdle game against Patrick
As of 2022, I still have one of those in my possession since I grew up mostly on PS2 and Wii, as well as DS and Game Boy in the 2000s.
5:38 so much nostalgia. I miss playing these. My favorite was this one and the spiderman one
Everybody is always impressed when somebody gets Doom to play on something weird but I want to see somebody to put Dark Souls on a plug n play.
9:19-9:25 Ah yes, my favorite aspect of the world of spongebob was the lives system. It was really a shock to see how many squidward lost without getting a game over, my man can inexplicably explode almost as much as bowser can fall into lava
Also I had the spongebob nose one as a kid but I remember something about the wires being busted so it didn't work right. I LOVED the one that looked like spongebob's house though, the look was great the buttons were satisfying and you could make a krabby patty in one of the games. don't remember jack about any of the other games I mostly just made the nastiest patties I could think of over and over again
i love finding a video with a good amount of views and seeing the channel has more views on this than subs. this is mad entertaining and funny, hope to see more in the future.
I was literally just thinking of this. My friend had this along with the Spongebob TV.
I had that exact same plug and play as a kid. I loved it, especially since I was obsessed with SpongeBob back then. I have no idea what happened to it but I’ve got good memories of it
I remember the AquaticNeptune Plug and Play videos while watching this. Anyone remember the channel?
Oh wow I think i had that nose spongebob plug and play because when you showed the gameplay of it, I instantly remembered playing it. I was like 5 when I played it and couldn't quite remember what it looked like but I instantly knew when you showed the menu. I never thought I would see gameplay again. Thank you
i had the one with the hooks and Patrick’s maze and the DK clone. this unlocked memories I forgot I even had 😂
I had a different Spongebob plug n' play. It was light blue, and had molded art on top. I can't remember it in any more detail than that (looked on Ebay for "Spongebob plug n play", and I think it's the light blue one with jellyfish, and a jellyfish as the handle of the joystick). I also had (and still have) a Ms. Pac-Man plug n' play, _with Galaga._ It also has Ms. Pac-Man (duh lol), Xevious (never beat it, super hard), Pole Position (racing game, took forever to figure out that you steer by rotating the joystick rather than moving it), and Mappy. That was probably my favorite as a child.
I’ve played the SpongeBob plug in play but it has different games
6:05 this is so fucking funny and I can 100% relate to this feeling
Finally, UA-cam actually recommends me quality content.
I remember breaking my spongebob plug n play in the backyard of a previous house I lived in because the batteries ran out...
I also have a false memory of me singing to said spongebob plug n play in hopes that it would work again...
I had a SpongeBob plug in play, but the move stick was SpongeBob's nose, but the 'holes' were like holes and that they were like color, I also still have my old TV that you used to to plug in any wire like red, yellow and white.
Surprisingly the TV still works.
I randomly clicked on this video, and the second you said “you loved the border last time” i had this moment where i thought “oh shit, is this the guy that made the where’s my water video??”
I LOVED both that video and this one, and subscribed to see what comes next.
Dude first video I’ve seen of yours I like how much fun you just sound in these videos.
SpongeBob Bubble Pop was a staple of my childhood. My dad, my brother, and I would play for hours and hours every week. I still have the console in a drawer but the cords were destroyed like a decade ago.
And here I thought you were going to talk about the SpongeBob plug and play with the MAZE GAME. Now that one is the true Dark Souls of Plug and Play!
I had that Plug and Play when I was younger. I got super upset when the control stick broke.
You unlocked a forbidden memory from my brain and I don't like it.
Jesus the editing on this video is hilarious 😂 good job my dude
I'm so confused.. I swore I had one of these as a kid but the games looked completely different! I can't even find images of the ones mine had, though it was the same looking model as yours... Weird.
Huh, I never knew they re-used the shell and it had different games.
Patrick's adventure was always my favorite
this was super fun and it was cool to hear about someone else who had their first introduction to video games through plug n play games! if you ever wanna cover more plug n play consoles I'd be very interested...
I swear to God, I had that same exact plug n play
Also, didn't realize you were just in high school! Your production quality is amazing! Keep it up dude!
1:45 Ah yes, the arcade-like nature of arcade games.
This particular plug and play was ALL my childhood.. Thanks for the memories man🔥🔥🔥
I had a couple of these plug and plays, including the spongebob one, and a Disney one. we also had a weird wii knock off plug and play that had these blue "wiimotes" that had no motion whatsoever
these edits are so creative, love the unique style!
The Spider-man 3 plug-n-play as well as the General Grievous Star Wars one...what a nostalgia hit
Thank you for reviving memories of the Spongebob and the Dora plug and plays.
Oh I had one with the bubble pop game, the hooky game, Sandy's surfing, Patrick's maze, and the donkey Kong knock off chum bucket game.
I remember beating the chum bucket and Patrick's maze as a kid; not to mention I got really far in the bubble pop game (I think like level 300ish) but had to stop playing.
Was terrible at Sandy's surfing though.
Update: I found my spongebob plug n play!
5:15 Haha you gave yourself that verified check mark
Oh god I remember this plug and play... Great and difficult memories...
I actually have that plug and play rn, with the same games. That was my childhood and I enjoyed that alot!
I used to play that Camp Nicktoons one all the time as a kid. Heck, I even played it for a bit after I got a Wii because I used to think it was that fun.
I had that first plug in play and it was my FAVORITE as a kid. I remember dedicating an entire day to trying to beat the Channel Chasers game on it.
6:48 Damn. Look at that. This is peak human performance
