The Development History of Spongebob Supersponge 

I'll say some things in this video. Some of these are comments, and others are corrections. - There were more than two disks released for this game. There were around fifty, most of which were just prototypes of the game. - We don't exactly have everything, thanks to VSS destroying a lot of old files. - The earliest GBA build is actually November 8, 2000, which needs to be compiled on its own. It just features a moving camera. - Development on the game itself started in August 2000, when the only thing existing was the PSX version with some screen saying "SPONGE BOB SQUARE PANTS" bouncing around like a DVD screensaver. - We have a good amount of commits between August to October 2000, though not much can be ripped out of them thanks to deleted files. It's assumed to be just technical stuff. There's a milestone document ranging on what was completed in the game, so try checking that out. - The 11/28 build of SuperSponge GBA (or at the time called "SPONGEBOB'S INFLATED UNDERPANTS") was only less than a month into development. Development started on 11/8 for that version. - The "September 2000" screenshot is actually a mockup. Several iterations of its 3DS MAX file are included in the dev disks. - You skipped tens of prototypes between the January and April protos. Not to worry, they're not very interesting (aside from using Yoshi Story music during February). - The levels splitting up also existed in the PSX version according to the source commits, but unfortunately, we don't have the files for those. We do have map exports though! - You seem to have skipped the 5/2 build, which has even earlier dialogue (and no speech). - The "ground pound" move is titled "Butt Bounce" according to the source. It's consistent everywhere on the disks. - Early GBA versions did have similar devs to the PSX version, though I believe the final version was from a different group. A "soft reset" happened in its development in June 2001. - The game over music is actually unused in the PSX version :) - The map test screenshot is another mockup, but the level WAS in the game at some point as evidenced by a level editor screenshot. ~ MDTravis

Spongebob making a dolphin sound when ground pounding implies he's swearing every time he does that, like, imagine playing mario 64 and every time you punched mario just said "Fuck.".

The fact thats deep in the Games files is literal r34 put in the games files by the dev

4:38 British lady SpongeBob is too powerful

This game has by far the weirdest development history I have ever seen for game, especially considering this is a licensed game

SpongeBob Supersponge is the rawest game in existence

I really love the fact the SuperSponge community is growing. I thought I was one of the only fans.

16:00 The number of grunts Plankton has indicates he was originally meant to be a boss battle.

I THOUGHT THE BETA VOICES WERE YOU VOICING OVER IT

You forgot about one last unused track, which was supposedly going to be used at the cutscene when SpongeBob time travels to the stone age.

I heard Kyle say you bastards in the early early beta voice lines

I also love this game. It's very underrated, And the soundtrack is also great too. I'm working on an ARG video based on the "Every Copy Is Personalized" ARG of this game. I'll send the link here when the video comes out!

The "Big Top" music is used in the GBA version, as the credits theme.

I have NEVER seen a more beautiful recreation of the old super sponge legal screen.

I'd love to see more development deep dive videos on other licensed games from you.

Honestly the temporary voice clips are endearing to me. I wonder what the actress' name is.

If you want to know The reason how they drew Patrick getting perished by SpongeBob is by opening the file “SpongeBob s**t List” [THE FILE IS A COMPLAINT OF ONE OF TEH DEVS PF MAKEING TEH GAME]

Actually Spongebob Supersponge was released in Europe in August 2001, NA, in November 2001, And in AU in 2002.

The fact that they have Kyle saying "YOU BASTARDS"

Thanks for documenting this I had no idea about a lot of the stuff in this game like the emulators and the Sea Life stuff so yeah this game is interesting and everytime I hear more about it it just keeps getting more interesting

Ain't no way I just heard the start of the meow mix song come from this game😂 17:08

Here's an (not really) interesting fact. The beta intro theme was reused in "Spongebob In Tehran", a Persian bootleg movie.

Ok this demo is off the limits mostly when people start making a game they first start to do 2d arts or sprites then make the game 3dbut this one they did 3d models to be the beta and yet the game became 2d

This is impressive! 😁 Please make more development history videos!

16:37 This one was used in one of the spongebob mobile games

I would be on par with this! except for the fact that you forgot to say that some of the July 2001 builds do have a VERY different an early intro than the final and take clips from season 1 and not seasons 2-3 as we see in the final.

one of the biggest videos this person has made

me when i explain the history of supersponge

We don't talk about the other files 😳

Good video got me interested in the game

Now this is awesome!

Yoshibyte sounds like the person who voiced the placeholder voiceclips from SpongeBob SuperSponge

4:40 These voice clips are so weird.

I think Climax missed a couple milestones during development?

17:09 Excuse me? Why is Kyle an unused voice clip in the game?

Awesome

fun fact!: one of the unused plankton voices from this game is used in patty pursuit! can ya spot it?

I can’t open some files on the thing how do I fix it

10:41 how to turn the options theme into a level theme
