The COMPLETE SpongeBob Video Game Retrospective | The Best & Worst of the Sponge 

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.

Some say Squidward is still shouting, "Take this Robo-loser" to this very day!

As a guy from Texas, those conveniently floating Texas symbols are hilarious.

Friendly reminder that the OST for Battle for Bikini Bottom, the Spongebob Movie game, and especially SuperSponge are amazing.

_"What could be better than serving up smiles?"_ *~ Spongebob Squarepants*

As a kid, I loved Atlantis Squarepantis for console because I had the attention span/time to play the long minigames. It felt more immersive than Lights Camera Pants. I don't know, I had a lot of time on my hands.

Might as well put timestamps here for each and every game in this retrospective. 0:10 - Battle for Bikini Bottom 10:49 - The SpongeBob Movie Game 22:55 - Battle for Bikini Bottom Rehydrated 36:08 - Truth or Square/Creature from the Krusty Krab - Intro 39:15 - Truth or Square 44:46 - Creature from the Krusty Krab 53:01 - 10 Disastrous SpongeBob Games 55:24 - Battle for Bikini Bottom PC 58:56 - Legend of the Lost Spatula 1:00:44 - SuperSponge 1:04:00 - Boating Bash 1:05:59 - SpongeBob SquigglePants 1:08:13 - Plankton's Robotic Revenge 1:10:58 - SpongeBob HeroPants 1:12:50 - Lights, Camera, Pants 1:14:46 - Atlantis SquarePantis 1:17:02 - Revenge of the Flying Dutchman 1:21:37 - SpongeBob GBA Games 1:24:09 - SuperSponge GBA 1:26:07 - Revenge of the Flying Dutchman GBA 1:28:15 - Battle for Bikini Bottom GBA 1:29:21 - The SpongeBob Movie GBA 1:31:08 - Lights, Camera, Pants GBA 1:33:00 - Creature from the Krusty Krab GBA 1:34:49 - Atlantis SquarePantis GBA 1:36:37 - SpongeBob DS Games 1:39:02 - The Yellow Avenger 1:41:38 - Creature from the Krusty Krab DS 1:43:18 - Atlantis SquarePantis DS 1:45:50 - Drawn to Life: SpongeBob Edition 1:48:31 - SpongeBob vs. The Big One: Beach Party Cook-Off 1:50:35 - Truth or Square DS 1:53:16 - Boating Bash DS 1:54:05 - Surf & Skate Roadtrip 1:55:37 - Plankton's Robotic Revenge DS

Looking at all seven SpongeBob AntDude episodes in one place, I realize how many references he made to the actual show and I love it.

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.

and with this, AntDude was firmly cemented as "That guy on RU-vid who really likes Kirby and also SpongeBob for some reason."

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

This video just made me realize SpongeBob literally has a quote for anything

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.

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.

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 😂

2 hours of ant dude? I’ll take it! This is one of my favorite series you’ve ever reviewed

All we need now to complete the Spongebob media franchise is an AntDude video about the Spongebob Broadway musical.

Ah yes, a nearly two hour compilation of one dude's decent into marine maligned madness.

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.

00:13 this is where AntDude’s biggest regret began

Apparently Mr Krabs VA Clancy brown asks for more money for being in the video games which is why hes not included

Dammit truth or square was my childhood, if I got to play it again I’d cry

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.)

Your videos are amazing And I love watching them all the time. So thank you.

Did you know that Spongebob's French voice also dubbed Beck from Mighty No. 9? This fact made me cry like a sponge under a hot light.

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.

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

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)

Man the Movie game and Battle for Bikini Bottom really were just fun and good games. Even with some flaws, they stuck with a formula that worked.

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.

Here’s a fun game: count every SpongeBob reference in these videos.

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.

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!

Well “Jiggle-me-handles.”ant made an entire compilation of Dirty Dan games, gonna binge this whole thing

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...

Never knew there was so much Spongebob video game content that could make up a two hour video. Bravo Antdude bravo 👏

I love this retrospective series. Such a good long video montage to watch from Antdude

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

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.

As a SpongeBob fan, this give me nostalgia

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."

If you think I’m a waste 2 hours watching you review SpongeBob games from videos I already watched. Then yes, yes I will

I’m honest. I’m just rewatching this while playing games myself. I don’t know, I just like Antdudes voice. Very nice to listen to.

I love Antdude driving himself insane for our entertainment ❤

"I call it bold and brash" Immediately after: Trash it. That is some beautiful editing there Anthony 😂😂

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

Good Job! These reviews are really great but there is one thing you haven’t covered. The Flash Games.

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

Viewers: how many spongebob references do you want to make Antdude: yes.

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.

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

AntDude's the only guy I know who can talk about Spongebob videogames...FOR TWO HOURS

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

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!"

38:41 someone must've complained to Microsoft, because guess where you can play Truth or Square now?

The movie game will always be my favorite. So many memories!!!

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.

Darn you adding more footage into the complete retrospective making me watch it all again XD

Your almost about to get half a million subscribers on your youtube channel, what a great milestone to finally reach.

Actually there *was* an episode of Spongebob wherein The Dutchman granted three wishes, so he does have the ability.

As a kid, I got Creature from the Krusty Krab from Blockbuster and I was obsessed with that comic book art style!

I seriously appreciate the work put into this video.

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

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.

creature from the krusty krab was the first game I ever played so I have some serious nostalgia for it

54:27 the irony in this statement is hilarious

I had already watched all these vids, but DUDE it's the entire retrospective, of course I had to watch it all over again, jiggle-me-handle!

Lights Camera PANTS is actually really good. Especially Squilliam's level

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..."

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 remember a plug and play racing game like Mario Kart and it was shaped like a wheel with motion controls. It was pretty fun.

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.

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.

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.

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.

One of the few almost 2 hour long videos that I consistently come back to, great work on the vid(s)!!

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

BFBB will always be one of my childhood games man, it was incredible! 😭

Rehydrated looks so pretty. The original had more muted colors. I love the brighter colors. Especially rock bottom, the neon lights look so good.

Creature From the Krusty Krab is a LITERAL fever dream and I love it

8:03 yes you can. Just go to the spatula menu and fast travel to the spatula youre trying to get.

Squidward AntDude isn’t real, he can’t hurt you

I love these retrospective videos

I was really hoping to see Employee of the Month on the PC because that game is a visual nightmare

My favorite part of this video was Patrick randomly saying "No questions!" to an inexplicably sad Mr. Krabs.

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...

SpongeBob Battle for Bikini Bottom was so good IT GOT A REMAKE. That should tell you how much people loved it. I Platinumed it in a week

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 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 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

Friendly reminder that Kirby with a gun comes out March 25th

The only bad thing about rehydrated is that attacking mid air does not reduce your speed like in the original, makes the ball rolling mission even worse lol

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

Maybe its nostalgia but i absolutely loved revenge of the flying dutchman on gba and still think its pretty good

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’ve been waiting for this!

I've barely been listening in whilemy husband watches, but I've yet to hear you talk about the BEST spongebob squarepants game ever: Lights, Camera, Pants.

This is super handy for rewatching! Thanks!
