[TAS] GBA The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie by jlun2 in

This is a tool-assisted speedrun. For more information, see tasvideos.org/...
TAS originally published on 2012-02-22
This is a game unusually suited for a run for a game based on a movie based on a (famous) TV series. While the game follows the movie's plot ( en.wikipedia.o... ) quite closely, the author manages to make it look almost incomprehensible thanks to sheer speed in glitching through the stages.
This is an improvement of 01:26.53 minute over the previous published run ( tasvideos.org/... ) by the same author.

Love how some of the between-level stills have character art done in-house, since they weren't allowed to use stills from the the movie itself.

[@InsiderCrash]

I love how Hasselhoff is just pecs in his character portrait

[@Sleetysleetman]

The sprites look really good. No surprise considering it's Way Forward but still.

[@amimirmimir512]

tbh altron's sprites looked better

[@OrobaSpyro]

A+ driving from Spongebob as always

[@SkyblueStarmoon]

Ah yes, my childhood is all coming back to me. Not just the gameplay and music , but also the movie itself given things like how it begins and ends on me and my mother’s birthdays.

Wow, this is one of the greatest GBA games ever! I even recognize the names of all bosses on this list:
4:22 Boat Jacker (a.k.a Thug Fish)
7:48 Victor the Bartender (a.k.a Thug Tug Thug)
11:27 Frogfish (a.k.a Ice Cream Monster)
17:07 Dennis
21:21 The owner of Shell City known as The Cyclops
22:46 Dennis (final battle)
26:33 King Neptune, who's been controlled by the notoriously evil Plankton!
I also like how SpongeBob transformed into a rock wizard and used his guitar to blast a Chum Bucket helmet off of King Neptune's head, extremely awesome!

I had this game as a kid. I lost my notebook with the passwords in it so I tried to guess random passwords and I actually somehow guessed the one for the beginning of world 5.

[@TrueAgentZeroVT]

Curious GBA Port Very Well done man... THQ Era

[@pupylver]

Really great run, didn't expect it to be this crazy

[@sterilepancake]

I never knew movement like this was possible in this game.

[@JR-me1so]

One of my favorite games on Game Boy Advance. I also like how this game was published on the year when I was born.

[@TheMISTIK2000]

My very first game I owned ! Childhood memories.

[@fernandopalacios7332]

I love this game, i played in original game boy

[@Terkzorr]

i played in original game boy too. i loved walking around circuit boards when i was tiny man

[@stickso]

Now that their men, they can shift past maximum overdrive.

[@trashpandautomatic]

Holy this unearthed some memories I had playing this and finding out that if you get swallowed by a giant clam right at the end of one of the first levels you could soft lock it and the screen would shrink and go black but anytime you would press any of the buttons it would make the bubbling noise and the clam struggle sound over each other and be stuck like that. lmao been awhile since I've thought of the GBA

[@batbrain55]

Woo.

[@alexipanda9505]

Wooo!

[@SebastianGMSFB]

I'm surprised that this game didn't have a DS version...

[@IanZWhite00]

This was like, the first video game I ever owned. Glad somebody cared enough to tas it

[@aa69420]

"Wooo! Wooo! Wooo!"

[@thatonepalico1966]

[@murphmariotwopointoh7714]

"Woooo!"

[@trashpandautomatic]

"WOoo! WOO!"

[@alexipanda9505]

Woohoo!

[@sgnjamcitydevteam6913]

*patrick, we're shifting into maximum overdrive.*
*OH NO*

[@mr.jes5e12oss2]

You complete this game from TAS.
Thanks to you! 😊🙏

[@CookieficationJ]

I think the music could be... a bit better, but honestly this game seems pretty dang solid overall

[@crashbandicoot6969]

The Shell city scares me most because of the temperature meter

[@Mai_Shiranui123]

Jumps: WOOOAH

[@ghosthnw9772]

So, where can I find this guy? I like to learn more about him since he made a lot of TAS for GBA and DS games.

[@vjsuperior6626]

5:52 I did this once

[@TheDMan2003]

While I think I’m right in saying that few people prefer this version over the console or PC version (if you do, then more power to you), this does seem like a decent little game. I wonder if the other SpongeBob GBA games like BFBB are this good?

[@markomk9761]

is it me or most of the sound effectsis this game are the same ones used for crash and spyro gba game

[@bigsof7381]

[@bigm2480]
