      You're not the only one Nathaniel. Outside of Battle For Bikini Bottom, Lights Camera Pants, Revenge of the Flying Dutchman, Creature from the Krusty Krab, Operation: Krabby Patty, Employee of the Month and The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie Game since I had those at the time(BFBB is the only one that I decided to get again since the 2020 theft of my 1st PS2, Wii, and my hard-bought games), I played Obstacle Odyssey, Diner Dash, Monopoly: SpongeBob Edition, Pizza Toss, Krabby Quest, The SpongeBob Movie 3D Online Game, and Trail of the Snail. (I'm only counting the early to mid 2000s SpongeBob online games) (It was in 2006) In fact, I played every single SpongeBob game that I had. Again I have Battle For Bikini Bottom.

    _Battle for Bikini Bottom will always be my favorite, but I can't deny that _Cosmic Shake_ is more than a worthy successor. Glitches that may or may not get patched out aside, It's vibrant, beautiful worlds with so much to do in them, it perfectly blends elements from the classic and modern eras of the show, and best of all, Mr. Krabs actually sounds like Mr. Krabs! I'm glad AntDude loved it, and I'll be enjoying both _Cosmic Shake_ and _BFBB_ for years to come.

    What I loved about Lights Camera Pants on console was how after you finish a round, you get to see the finished "movie" with all the characters playing the roles for the minigame batches they won. Gave the game some replay value that a lot of minigame collections are lacking. Each scene is different depending on who has the acting role and, from what I remember, all of them are gems (or at least much better than expected).

    Yellow Avenger is underrated as hell. For the time, the exploration and aesthetics were super immersive, it was able to give off the same feeling of immersion that some of the better PC entries (like Employee of the Month) had. I felt like that was pretty ambitious for a 2.5 sidescroller on handheld hardware. The OST is also pretty great.

But still, Spongebob’s move set is super expansive and really fun, the visuals are gorgeous, the music is amazing, there’s an actual story, inclusion of more characters, it’s just a romping good time!

Definitely deserved its spot near the bottom of the list. It was exhaustingly repetitive and the kinect controls definitely screwed me many times on those gate levels. Twisted my knee a but while playing it as well, but after a lot of icing and grinding the levels I pulled off the 100%. Great ranking list overall Anthony.

    I was legitimately unaware there were this many SpongeBob games. I know of the obvious ones like Battle for Bikini Bottom, but holy mackerel there are a lot of games based around this I.P. And with Cosmic Shake coming out, the games are becoming like the show: never ending. 😂
    Edit: Also, I had to do some research into this because I never actually knew the details. Clancy Brown (Mr. Krabs' voice actor) did not provide his voice to the character in Battle for Bikini Bottom due to scheduling conflicts at the time. Clancy Brown was voicing the notorious villain Baron Praxis in Jak & Daxter 2, so a different VA had to be chosen. Enter one Joe Whyte, who provided the now somewhat infamous yet fan loved new voice role for Mr. Krabs in Battle for Bikini Bottom.
    After the Rehydrated remake was announced, fans actually provided heavy feedback to the developer -- THQ Nordiq -- to keep the voice unchanged, even with Clancy being available. The dev team responded in kind, and so Joe Whyte reprised his role in the Rehydrated version, much to fan appreciation.
    Even with Joe giving Mr. Krabs such a different yet iconic voice, Cosmic Shake goes back to the man we all know and love as the character, which is why he sounds so familiar. 😉

Even as I got newer and better ones, something about Supersponge always made it a fond memory. Probably mostly nostalgia, but the game itself is still genuinely decent beyond that.

    The love and effort that Purple Lamp studios put into Cosmic Shake far outweighs the glitches and occasional bugged line delivery for me. Modern games are constantly getting patched so I don't see it as a major strike against the game, and I still was able to complete it 100 percent despite those bugs. I'm actually hoping that they stick to their guns and make more SB platformers like they said they want to, the quality can really only go up from here.
    Also sidenote: Employee of the Month (as well as the other PAC SB games) hold a special place in my heart, that was the first PC game I ever played ❤️

    Creature of the Krusty Krab is the only game I grew up with, is so nostalgic remembering it, except for the fact it was in English at a time I didn't know any English, Patrick taking too long despite being too fun, how I couldn't beat it because the final race made no sense, and how annoyed I was as a kid for not being able to play as Sandy.

    On the topic of SpongeBob games on PC I will say the one that stands out for me is Atlantis Squareoff.
    It's a Fire Emblem styled strategy game and as crazy as that sounds it was actually pretty good. It technically centers around cards but it doesn't play like a card game. The cards are more just like set dressing for earning more powerful moves/abilities.

    *Bro I grew up with Return of the Flying Dutchman!*
    I remember seeing a game trailer of it on a SpongeBob DVD and begged my parents for it. I played it everyday when I got home from school, the only thing I truly hated about the game was that it took forever for an area to load (took around maybe 1 or 2 minutes). I had trouble trying to complete it so everytime I got stuck I would restart and play it all over again, eventually I beat it and then finally stopped playing it.
    Had my sister not given my PS2 as well as my games away I probably would've given it another go.

    You sir, are a legend for this!
    Haven't played a lot of SpongeBob games, but as a lifelong fan of BFBB, I honestly never thought there'd be a SpongeBob game that could ever outshine it! But Cosmic Shake (which I also received early) knocked the Sponge clear out of the water for me! It's a great PS2 era platformer that evolves what was established in BFBB, and I was pleasantly surprised at every turn!
    Granted, it's got a couple, tiny issues here & there that can be patched or improved in a sequel. But otherwise, Purple Lamp did the impossible here! And I can't wait to see what else they've got in store!

    15:26 Krusty Cook Off is actually very similar in gameplay to a Flash/HTML5 game called "Spongebob, You're fired!". You just make different variations of a certain food depending on what the customerks ask and between every round, spongebob gets fired and needs to find a new job, making something different everytime. It's not totally the same, but if you ever played it, you can see the similarities.

I know you're more into Spongebob but I would love to see you go through the ton of Scooby Doo games out there just like you did with Spongebo. And Night of a Hundred Frights would be a perfect starting place. Gotta love PS2 era platformers.

    Before I watch this video I’ll say that my two favourite SpongeBob games were absolutely “curse of the Flying Dutchman” and the game for the SpongeBob movie. I never played “battle for bikini bottom” until the remake came out and I know my two favourites aren’t everyone’s pick, but I have a lot of fun memories with them.
    I always loved the downtown setting in “COTFD”!

    Rough as SuperSponge on the PS1 was, the music was certainly top tier, and I'm glad it was getting a lot of love in this video, with Sandy's Treehouse playing before the sponsor segment and Jelly Fields in the half-way point
    And of course there was its music when it came to talking about the PS1 and GBA versions, but I'm extra happy that Cavernous Canyons was the one picked for the PS1 version's bit, because that song gives me a major dopamine hit every time it pops into my head
    Almost makes me wish that the Big Wheel/Tunnel of Love theme was played for the sponsor bit, as that's always felt like a nice theme for shopping, but at the same time I think Redial is always the theme for Ant's sponsor bits, so eh, it is what it is 乁(ツ)ㄏ

  • @Yukinari2007
    @Yukinari2007 Рік тому +1

    My biggest problem with cosmic shake aside from inferior bosses to BFBB is that you dont just get new moves but also NPC sidequests as you do the main story so unless you wanna go back into the levels multiple times to 100% them you have to finish the game first then replay the whole game again anyway to do the side quests. Oh and if you accidentally go into a boss fight when replaying a level the game doesnt let you exit the damn level or pick a new mission you HAVE to finish the boss fight.
