The BEST Plug and Play | SpongeBob 5-in-1 Joystick

[@daerth4423]

Nothing makes you feel old like seeing your kid's old toys featured on things like this.

[@diamondly6250]

@Marcothemanmarco i got it around 7, im 21 now

[@PSPMan]

Man when I was a kid I literally played this thing till it broke. I remember I was able to clear SpongeBob's bubble pop, Patrick and the maze and the super chum bucket multiple times, but the other two mini games were just way too hard and tedious for me to finish. Super Chum Bucket was easily my favorite

[@aries200297457]

mine had the nose broke in half 😂 i still played it though even though i'd occasionally stab my hand on accident

[@PapaEATSYOMama]

Dude this just opened a memory in my head that hasn’t been opened in over 20 years👏👏

[@polocatfan]

It's a crime that this isn't emulated in MAME yet EDIT: Also Fry Cook Games is actually really good. So much content in that Plug and Play. It even saves your high scores and has MULTIPLAYER.

[@LordScout]

I had both of these as a kid!!

[@MrPoke]

I feel like everyone forgets about the 2.0 version of this plug in play. It has different games, except it still has the breakout clone. It had a snowball fight game (like worms) and a Jellyfish evading game. Updated graphics too.

[@CosmicSponge2004]

Is there any video footage of that one!?

[@MrPoke]

@@CosmicSponge2004 Yes on youtube its called "Plug n Play Games: Spongebob Squarepants Jellyfish Dodge". A direct link would probably get locked

[@billforson3143]

I had 2 of them as a kid, just as you described

[@AGZhark]

THAT’S IT. That’s the one I had, and still have. I never knew about this one here, though, so I assumed the video would talk about what you are explaining.

[@ScalsAnimWorkshop]

The game is called Spongebob Jellyfish Dodge, I have it!

[@SpongeyBubby]

Didn’t even know a second version existed with music, that’s pretty cool actually. And for that Patrick Maze game, you can complete a character’s challenge three times until they disappear. I managed to finish all of them & beat the game some years back.

[@AGZhark]

The second version has the first game listed, but with different power ups, graphics, and simply looks better

[@mangleman25]

I played the hell out of the Super Chum Bucket when I was a kid, this entire plug n play was an essential part of my childhood

Most plug and plays I saw around this era were sludgy awful famiclones. This seems... perfectly decent for a kid? The art looks well done and colourful, and it looks like they all play okay, limited as they may be.

[@CosmicSponge2004]

The sprites in "Sandy's Surf Adventure" remind me alot of her song in "Atalantis SquarePantis" with the small pixel style

[@stanleymontys1189]

i remember having this as a kid! it’s such a charming little bundle and it’s so nice to see it again, and with such an earnest and sweet review of it all to boot! man now i miss all my childhood spongebob toys lol

[@BlakeGameYT]

I had this exact one but i somehow broke the "nose" stick and it was just a small nub with razor sharp edges. 7 year old me didn't care, i got through the maze with literal blood, sweat, and tears. Sweet victory!

@@BagzAndPresident Ah, I remember my edgelord phase. Good thing I grew out of it, and I know you will too. Besides, "formative memories" doesn't roll off the tongue as well.

[@NintenFan85-ul8wf]

My first was Pac Man Plug n play...

[@griffinwelding7987]

When I was little my sister and I had Plug and Play consoles from Christmas. I had a Spiderman one and I think my sister had the Spongebob one. It brought back really great memories seeing the Spongebob Plug and Play on KZbin. After we got those plug and game consoles we gotten the Gamecube and later the Wii. Those plug in games were fun.

[@shesarockstudios]

I was gifted 2 of these as a kid. I also had that one you mentioned during sandys game that reused the music.

[@CCClarinet12]

SAME

[@CoffeeFlavoredMilk]

I didn't know about the bootleg version of this thing lol. Kinda wonder if that one even has footage of what's on it. Update: Its called the Super 15 in 1. There is a channel that has gameplay footage of all the things on it, as well an article on the bootleg games wiki.

[@Odelayderado]

Got it for Christmas 2004 wish their was a way to emulate it me and my sister got so far in the chumbucket game I remember tossing the console across the room when I lost

[@Mrs.Nesmith98]

My cousin had this one, I remember playing it all the time as a kid, along with the SpongeBob CD ROM game. Though, I never owned this one, the Scooby Doo Plug N Play is probably the best one in my opinion. SO much nostalgia😂 thanks for giving back the good memories!❤

[@EdmondBrown]

"Patrick And The Maze" was my favorite one.

[@ChaseMC215]

The warrenty itself has some sense of humor. Someone definantly had fun making them. Also, with the Super Chum Bucket game.... What will Plankton achieve for squirrle-napping Sandy? Why the piss cake would Sandy know anything about Plankton wanting the Krabby Patty formula? Shouldn't Plankton kidnap Mr Krabs instead since he is a rival and former best friend to Plankton?? That would make more sense than "Well, I'll squirrle-nap Sandy Cheeks and bribe Spongebob into giving me the secret formula." Plankton isn't that smart, even his computer wife Karen knows that. Shocking that she didn't break up from that mental case, and no, Karen 2.0 technically doesn't count.

[@KatOwO2235]

I had one, and one that looked like Darth Vader as a controller

[@idoghacker8008]

A lot of people seem to like the Batman one too. It's neat how many systems used SPG2xx hardware. Also, fun fact: The hardware for these things is so similar to the V. Smile that you can chuck their ROMs into a V. Smile emulator and they'll boot. Controls don't work, but the audio and video are fully functional.

[@jettesides420]

I'll be damned. Holy shit, lol Thats news to me.

[@DrewTNaylor]

I had this system when you could buy it new. Had a lot of fun with the games, particularly Patrick and the Maze (but I never finished it either, nor did I finish any of the others).

[@HidekiNishi7]

This was quite the nostalgia trip. Definitely had a lot of fun playing the Patrick Maze game. I believe out of all of the games, I've only finished The Super Chum Bucket. Overall, pretty cool to see a review of this Plug n' Play.

[@Danominator]

Seeing as we just celebrated Thanksgiving, I'm thankful that this design exists. It's so cursed that I can't help but love it.

[@EtagKavo]

Crazy part is I had a lot of these man just being back memories I didn’t remember

[@MrDan11422]

I remember these plug and play wrre sold everywhere.

[@atechchuck]

Believe it or not the early version is the one with the theme. I took mine apart and the date on it was September 2003 and it played the theme.

[@Dr.ruby7LT]

I did get a 100% complete of Patrick in the Maze, back in my kid age. Did it once many years ago, still have the memory though.

[@RIGIDGAMER]

Woke up one Christmas morning and this is what my mom got me. One of the best Christmas gifts I could have gotten at that time. I can remember plugging it in and playing all day

[@justjoshingwithyou6987]

I got this for Christmas one year as a kid it took so long finish everything

[@moaijima]

When I was little I had several different Spongebob ones, along with a few Pac-Man ones and Spider-Man one. These were what I used to play before I got into consoles. Fun times :')

[@KiyloNendroid]

Seeing this plug n play was one hell of a nostalgic blast, i remember playing that tons, but lost it, ever since then ive been hunting for it, but always ended up finding the later 2009 plug n play, which has an almost identical controller

[@Deadly7K]

I remember playing this on my gigantic big gray box TV. I don’t think I ever beat Patrick’s Maze.. I was always so close! I think I almost broke the nose because I used to play this game so often on the TV but I think we sold it in a rummage :(

[@CCClarinet12]

My family had a big gray box TV when I was a kid too and I would always play either this SpongeBob game or my vSmile on it

[@DannyBenS94]

Nice video, I've been curious about this one. A good cheap (in price) Pac-Man Plug & Play system is Pac-Man Connect & Play. It was released in 2012 I think and comes with 12 games. Most of them are ones that have been re-released many times, but it's one of the very few ways to play Pac-Man Plus. Outside of emulation, it's probably the cheapest way to play it too.

[@KrakenWasSlayed]

My favorite plug’n’play was a Spider-Man Head and it was a pretty good side scroller last I remember

[@PaperBanjo64]

Didn't know what an arpeggio was in chip tunes...I just know it's when you pick the individual strings on a guitar when playing chords instead of strumming them.

[@larryinc64]

0:25 That is just flat out wrong lmao, maybe you were just in an area that somehow did not get much of it, but Spongebob right out of the gate had so much merchandise with entire toy lines dropping in 2000 from Mattel not even a year after the show premiered. From 2001 to 2003 Spongebob had around 8 other video games released too, before this plug-n-play. I remember seeing just about everything you could as a kid with that yellow face on it.

[@FrameRater]

I swear in some interview Stephen said he didn't want merchandise for the show because of how it could contribute to the sea floor's plastic problem. Couldn't find the quote so I didn't mention it. Either way, where I live (Canada, if that helps) there wasn't much until the movie. Believe me I was looking, it wasn't until that first Burger King line of toys (2002?) when I finally got one. Then it was back to nothing again. And yeah SpongeBob had many games at that point, I even covered SuperSponge years ago. I guess video games are technically considered "merch" but I was thinking more in the realm of traditional knick knacks and toys.

[@Prettiboyrudy]

I want to play this so badddd I used to beat the Patrick maze one on sight

i grew up with this. it might've been the first one i had. not sure what happened to it over the years.

[@supersmashmaster43]

I had this as a kid and really enjoyed it. The maze game was the one I always came back to, I don’t remember if I ever beat it. It’s funny cause the way I got this was I was out grocery shopping with my mom and she ran into one of her coworkers, and she had just bought it from toysrus. I think they were supposed to be for donation but she ended up giving it to us along with a spiderman one which was also awesome. Still have them laying around somewhere, probably don’t work anymore sadly. A few years later we got a Nick summer camp tv game which was pretty okay also. These were nice little games to mess around with as a kid in the 2000s
