    As a kid, I never solved the stone tiki puzzle for Mr. Krabs as Patrick, so I never saw half of Kelp Forest’s content until I revisited the game as an adult. Seeing Kelp Cave and Kelp Vines is surreal to me, like they feel like mod content even though I know they’re in the original game

    7:56 Genuinely, why did they raise the Mr. Krabs Prices (at launch) for Rehydrated?
    Not a single person asked for it - and with SBA not being a thing, and additional bugs (namely tollbooths automatically being repurchased when reentering previous areas), this was an absolute nightmare of a change that didn't make any sense to be a thing.

      @@Channeleven2345789 Personally felt the original was fine, but could have been improved and expanded upon.
      Namely - the unused content like Glove World and Robo Squidward would have been cool to be *properly* implemented, alongside improving the nature of some locations in the game (namely Kelp Forest).
      In particular, Rehydrated had the chance to redo everything, and make a game like the original, but still offer new content for veterans to enjoy.
      Problem being, Rehydrated was sort of rushed out of the gate, and didn't get the time to actually fix the problems of the original, nor stand on its own two legs.
      If anything, the janky nature of the new engine, the various problems of the console ports (we don't talk about Switch Loadtimes), on top of what happened to the speedrun of that game - failed to recapture what made the original good.
      What made Battle good wasn't the Graphics, or Multiplayer Gameplay - but as a solid platformer with appreciation to the show it is based around.

      My thing with the tollbooths between the original and rehydrated, at least with area 2 and 3 is that when you provide the spatulas to go into the said area's, unlike the original, the fence stays in rehydrated. Where as in the original, it dissappears as soon as you defeated robo sandy and patrick.

  • @DBArtsCreators
    @DBArtsCreators Місяць тому +79

    My issue with Kelp Vines is that it has so many areas where you COULD make a jump, but the game won't let you make the jump and instead grabs you, resetting your position to an earlier portion of the slide and costing you the attempt (forcing you to slide all the way to the bottom and teleport back to the top, if not teleport, just to try again). It's also one of the easiest to cheat, as you can 'start' the mission and immediately fall off, giving you the chance to backpedal to Mermaidman and claim the spatula without going through the slide itself.

    The Kelp Vine section was added at the last minute, that is, has, and forever will be my belief.

      Actually Kelp Vines is the 4th area. The first area is simply called Kelp Forest, it's the entrance area with Mrs. Puff. The second is Kelp Swamp, the water area where Mr. Krabs tasks Patrick with finding three Stone Tikis to put on the pedestal. Kelp Caves is the third area, and Kelp Vines is the fourth.

So 3rd area is skipped. I have no idea why. ua-cam.com/video/AMuu87HPHS0/v-deo.htmlsi=pPkb13zY2lWIfH8m (skip to 13:00-13:42)

    Also, the spatula where you had to drain the moat in the Flying Dutchman's Graveyard level had me stumped for HOURS as a kid. I never thought to stop the goo waterfall draining out of the pipe until I decided to start spamming cruise bubble, and just so happened to think about hitting the lid above the waterfall with the cruise bubble. That was literally the last spatula I ever got in BFBB as a kid, next to the final Patrick sock spatula (Bubble Bowling that line of Tikis in Kelp Forest for a sock went over my head as a kid).

    Actually, my main issue with Mermaid Man's time challenge is not the slide itself (even though it is very difficult, even after all these years), but my main issue is that checkpoint on the slide. If you fall off, it means you have to go to the pause menu, select spatula or 8 for that area, and try again... and again... and AGAIN. Seriously, who thought putting checkpoints on slides was a good idea? I always wanted to complete it in one go, otherwise it would feel cheap.

  • @morsetthedeer8843
    @morsetthedeer8843 5 днів тому +1

    I understand the point of having something like Mr. Krabs' purchasable Golden Spatulas in a game like this. Are you just one Golden Spatula off from unlocking the next area? You can buy it from Mr. Krabs so you can move on for now, but he ups the price each time to encourage you to explore the stages and find them yourself. This is fine in a casual playthrough, where your goal is only 75/100 to fight the boss in the Chum Bucket and finish the game. But because the ones you buy from him count towards the total of 100, you are required to buy them all in a 100% playthrough, so it starts to feel like the game is punishing you for not needing him before, as you now have to grind several thousand Shiny Objects.
    We know Mr. Krabs isn't above counterfeiting and scamming. I feel like it'd be better if instead of actual Golden Spatulas he'd be selling "Fool's Golden Spatulas". They would count towards unlocking new areas to help players who are having trouble progress through the game, but aren't required for 100% completion since they're not real. It would also mean Mr. Krabs could have a theoretically infinite amount of them, so if someone really is willing to grind *that* much, they could skip however much of the game they wanted. Maybe there could even be a secret cutscene for players who had a lot of them, poking fun at how SpongeBob's been lugging around a bunch of fakes. Maybe it would be Sandy trying to figure out what makes them so special, and running tests on them, only to find that many of them are plain spatulas spray painted gold or something.

      If that was what they were banking on it should have been the free area in the last section of levels.

The Graveyard is the level that requires the most spatulas aside from the final boss if I'm not mistaken.

    I also don't mind the Chum Bucket wall jump. I found that pretty easily when I was a kid. Same with Come Back With the Cruise Bubble. I thought it was pretty straightforward.
    The Rolling Ball challenge is frustrating, but only because of the teeter-totter part. Seriously, if they had just removed that, the rest of the challenge would have been a lot of fun in my opinion.
    To me, the worst by far are the later Mr. Krabs spatulas. It takes forever to get enough Shiny Objects to buy them all, especially if you were getting all of other spatulas that you had to pay the clams for. There's no way to do it without long, tedious grinding. Unlike the other difficult spatulas, there's nothing fun about the challenge in the first place. It's just boring, tedious work to get all the Shiny Objects.

    The darkness in the video wasn't an over exaggeration, I had one of those 10 inch tvs with a VHS player built in and I could not beat the first area of the Kelp forest because of how dark it was until I got a new TV.
    Kelp slides were alright, even as a kid I never struggled. The remaster makes it more interesting by making so you can't skip segments of the slide (or at the very least makes it much harder to).
    I also never realized how much Mr Krabs spiked up his prices. I remember on day one the remaster came out I had every spatula except for his last 3, and ended up grinding for about 3 hours just to get them so I could get 100% on day one. The entire time I was just thinking to myself "Did Mr Krabs always want so much?" but just assumed he did because I never 100% the game as a kid.

With rehydrated, yeah, in the initial release of it, he was pretty bad, i think he was upwards of 108k shiney objects if you were going for 100%, that was obviously fixed in later updates. Both figures are assuming that you want to collect all 8 at once. Which, at least for rehydrated, i will give it points for in regards to both patrick and mr.krabs. what they'll do in comparison to the original is not directly give you the spatulas, which...if you want all 8 at once, definitely is a bonus considering that you don't have to sit through spongebobs saving animation. With the rolling ball arena, you can actually set up certain things beforehand, the swinging hammer and thr turntable track being the only things you can actually prepare yourself with. The only problem is that they reset when you lose the ball. Regarding the kelp vines, Multiclassicgamer and i have founds ways to make the challange a least a little bit more manageable, with Multiclassicgamer, they've found that moving the camera when you go around the turns helps, while with me, pulling back on the left analog stick when doing the same helps a bit too.

    I would also include the spinning cylinders spatula from the Mermalair. IIRC there's some hidden trick to solve it simply, but I hate these sorts of puzzles in general. I also remember hating the one by Mermaid Man's TV in the same area.

  • @KnightofFunnyJunk
    @KnightofFunnyJunk 15 днів тому

    The reason why Patrick got the short end of the stick is because Sandy was already playable in both SpongeBob's Dream and The Dutchman's graveyard which means they needed to make Patrick the player 2 of Kelp Forest since Sandy is already overly reliant on some of the more brutal levels in the late game and Sandy's lasso jump is broken enough as is and would completely destroy Kelp Forests entire core level design
    All the same tho, even if thematically it wouldn't have made sense, I would have switched Sandy for Kelp Forest and Patrick for Spongebob's dream.

    @monsterdong420 Місяць тому +4

    They are on the more cryptic side I guess but I don't think Come Back With the Cruise Bubble and A Wall Jump in the Bucket are that bad. Not worst spatulas in the game level at least.

    • @Jlaps941
      @Jlaps941 23 дні тому

      Agreed. I had no trouble with them even as a 6-7 year old, the titles give them away perfectly. I thought to just use the cruise bubble, and moving it around the area showed me a switch to hit. WJINTB is easy to see just walking around the Chum Bucket interior and assume you gotta jump between the two walls like you’ve done many times by that point in the game.

    How have I only just found this channel? Really good video and I definitely feel your pain with most of your picks.
    I still stand that all the bungee jump spatulas outside of the one in Downtown are textbook filler and often just add more shiny object collecting into a game that already asked for a lot of that.
    Though in terms of actual crushing difficulty and frustration, I have to give it to that Kelp Vines time trial. The only challenge in this game that is so bad and poorly designed, that it's more worthwhile and efficient to just cheat and try and make a leap of faith to a lower part of the slide and just hope you stick the landing.

    Can't really agree on the one where you had to lower the toxic goo levels to reveal paths.
    I always explore all my surroundings and saw the familiar Golden Spatula glow in the goo, then later on saw where the goo was coming from.
    I didn't know how to close it right away, but that's where you simply throw things at the wall until something sticks, in this case you shoot something at the wall.

    I am just thinking back to when I played this as a kid.
    I did a lot of the game. The hardest part for me was finding Patrick’s socks. There was so much that I managed to do. I solved the tiki thing in the kelp forest and unlocked the slide. But I couldn’t beat mermaid man’s time. I never found all of barnacle boy’s things. I didn’t complete every time trial perfectly on sand mountain. There was quite a few spatulas in the graveyard that I missed. I don’t think I finished Mr krabs’ shiny object buying, but I might have. A few spatulas here and there. But I got through quite a lot of it. I did the ball puzzle in the merma lair. I just wish I could see how much I completed of the game. But we got rid of the ps2 a long long time ago.

  • @juro7854
    @juro7854 20 днів тому +1

    I don't like "Here you go" I'm near the end of the game and I get one to talk to Patrick. Especially with the dreams of the others being pretty fun it's just disappointing that there's zero effort. If it was a beginning one I'd be more forgiving, but it felt like they had 99 Golden Spatulas and needed to ship the game out in a week so they made that one just to hit the 100 threshold

    I started doing Archipelago Randomizer for this game recently and learned how to Cruise Boost so that I could do Kelp Forest backwards & so that I can clip into the glass that holds the Golden Spatula in the Rolling Ball Room, let me tell you it makes all of this stuff way easier instead of doing them the intended way!

  • @Thornskade
    @Thornskade 27 днів тому

    I played thrrough it several times as a kid but always skipped Kelp Forest. I just didn't vibe with the atmosphere and tasks like that didn't help. Anyway, the only spatula I was never able to find causing me to be stuck on 99% forever was the goo tanker hatch. The others I could find but that one had no indication whatsoever. And yes, I mean 99 because the spatula in the goo on the shipwreck can be reached without draining the lake, the devs kinda put it too close to walkable space.

      also, i would have personally included swing along spatula from rock bottom. it's not hard but it really feels like they just needed one extra spatula in the level so they hid a button on a random rock. it felt cool to find as a kid but there was no indicator that it was there at all, similar to the goo tanker

  • @Supershadow55

    After playing this game so many times as a kid also playing the remake, one of the worst gold spatulas is getting all of Patrick’s socks and also the ball room but surprisingly in the remake the ball room wasn’t that too bad. Kelp Forest was definitely a bad area due to it being so dark and also the one bus stop in the original

    • @Supershadow55
      @Supershadow55 Місяць тому

    I mean, if people are having trouble with Mermaid Man's time, they can just jump far enough into the slide to start the clock but not so far in that they can't get back up, jump into the box, then walk towards the end of the slide. There are no checkpoints along the slide, just the triggers for activation and completion, so not only can you complete the challenge without even touching the slide, it's the recommended speedrun strat.

    5:49 yeah I remember seeing this hidden spatula in the goo. I had no idea how to get to it. I didnt even know about the hatch. I would replay this game ALOT so every time I come back I would make pointless attempts to reaching it. It didnt make sense to me. Then about 18 years later (at least) when I was doing a playthrough on youtube did I look deeper into it and was blown away by finding out I had to shoot the hatch. I was mad at myself for not figuring it out but also I just had no way of figuring this out. How was anyone supposed to know that?! But at least my childhood can rest in peace now that I finally got the spatula YEARS later
    edit: also alot of these I didnt struggle. Even the krusty krab was easy. You're making it out to be harder than it is. But the ballroom in the mermalair? Like the spatula in the graveyard this one took me years to get. It comes down not to not knowing what to do but my age. You get smarter as you get older as well as more patient. As a kid id get frustrated but as I got older I think things through and adapted. I had the patience to plan things out and study how things worked and after so many years I finally figured it out and got it for the first time.

    As someone who has 100% the original game countless time. I agree with most of the list although you can basically put all of the kelp forest on here since that level area is terribly designed.
    No reason it needs to be that dark.
    Regarding mermaid man's time, I never had too much trouble with it especially if the shortcut is taken thanks to the warp boxes.
    Worst spatula? Hands down is the rolling ball. Never beat it as a kid and I dread it when I decide to replay the game. Tempted to learn the clip so I can bypass the glass and skip that stupid puzzle.
