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.

Cosmic Shake isn't even a successor, it's just a game that uses the same gameplay elements as Rehydrated/OG, the game is definitely good, but it's really not a spiritual successor

[@Tyler-sy7jo]

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).

I definitely think Cosmic Shake is an improvement to BFBB. I think everyone kinda has their rose tinted glasses on that prevents them from admitting that Cosmic Shake is obviously better in almost every single regard, even though BFBB is still amazing. 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!

[@MutchGames]

I actually went through the grind to not only do the first ever full longplay of Surf and Skate Roadtrip on Xbox 360 Kinect, but also the first to 100% it on KZbin. 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.

[@ZeroHero3d]

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. 😉

Heck yeah the last two DS games being 4 and 5 are so worth it.

[@msthecommentator2863]

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 ❤️

[@Robowil]

I've played a fair amount of the SB games (even Altron's SB DS trilogy of Atlantis SquarePantis/Drawn to Life/Truth or Square, those are kinda overlooked tbh). And I'll admit I even like SuperSponge a fair amount. Though the one SB game I've had the most experience with was BFBB Rehydrated, mainly because I modded it a lot (it was the first Unreal-based game I modded)

I always felt like battle for bikini bottom never felt as complete as this game felt. I felt like the spongebob movie game added to all that was great about the other game

[@Theunfriendlyneighborhoodman]

BFBB lacks the upgrade feature and mini games which makes the the movie game feels better

[@juanrodriguez9971]

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.

[@VexAcer]

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.

[@GameGenie1121]

Cool list, Supersponge on the GBA is a soft spot for me. It was my first ever GBA game and I loved it so much! Sadly the game got stolen by some random kid on the airport. I miss that game (I know I can get a new / used one, but that particular cartridge was special to me).

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!

It's not totally the same, but if you ever played it, you can see the similarities.

Anthony, the Spongebob flash games were actually S tier on average. One of them was a Pokemon Snap clone based on a series of special episodes and it took a good few hours to get through and it featured secret paths and an upgrade system.

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”!

[@WhimsicottFanatic]

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

Purple Lamp is really coming into its own. They started with a damn good remake of a classic, and then improved on that in just about every way. I'm certain they're not going away anytime soon. Their next game could definitely give Nintendo a run for their money if they keep improving at this rate

18:57 so it WASN’T just a dream I had once! I knew I remember seeing videos of this game once.

[@RaySchrantz]

As someone who never even knew the cosmic shake existed, I'm very excited by this. Finally feel like there's something to go back to

[@Dash_Gallou]

Some of the levels on Creature from the Krusty Krab were genuinely really difficult. Avoiding those trains as Hero Patrick took me forever.

20:06 I can relate. I was playing the PS2 Version when the loading glitch happened. It happened 19 years ago and I have not played it since. RIP Revenge of the Flying Dutchman PS2 Copy. 2002-2004. My copy didn't live this long.

Employee of the Month is probably my favorite, big sucker for early 2000s point and click games. That one and the Bionicle Mata Nui Online Game hold a lot of good childhood memories

[@Kyatttoo]

Atlantis SquarePantis DS was my childhood, I played that over and over bro. I've been trying to remember what it was called when your video came up, thanks so much 😭💛

[@bluberriecats]

this video almost made me tear up, this is so nostalgic

[@theheroneededwillette6964]

In creature for the krusty Krab’s defense, it was probably supposed to feel like a fever dream because the game’s entire story was that it WAS a fever dream.

24:08 - ah yes, DESTINY the Seahorse - and my I introduce you to the new multiplayer shooter MYSTERY??? xD

[@jennifergriel861]

9:58 imagine you’re playing some big open world 3D action game. You get to a computer terminal, log in for the inevitable hacking minigame, and said hacking minigame is a level of Krabby Quest. The game never has had anything to do with SpongeBob before this moment and he only shows up in the hacking minigames because they’re levels of Krabby Quest…. That would be hilarious.

[@imarock.7662]

I'm not gonna lie, Creature From The Krusty Krab is in my top 3 favorite Spongebob games ever. There is so much personality, style, and love put into the game, and the gameplay is just pure fun. I love the ethereal dream-like quality, and vibe the game has, which fits because everything is in a dream. Lol I could gush about this game for too long so I'm gonna cut this comment short here.

[@AtlanticRim]

Thank you for bringing up the Didj! That was actually my first video game platform, and I played that thing so much!

[@hsalfesrever3554]

Boating Bash is probably my favorite Spongebob game, I remember being around 11 and seeing it in the Walmart bargin bin and convincing my dad to let me get it because it was around 10-20 bucks and I ended up loving the game, definitely an underrated Spongebob game

[@bromeliad9683]

I never thought I’d see the SB games ranked, but man am I glad you did!

[@RhythmGrizz]

The fact that the Epic Mickey remake is being done by Purple Lamp who did Rehydrated and then Cosmic Skake gives me lots of confidence. They're growing and improving.

[@aceofspades3573]

Drawn to Life was the Spongebob game I've played the most in my life. Honestly a really fun game - little charm, but it's captivating, silly, fun, and even the soundtrack is a bop.

[@PerfectChaos115]

I have to admit, I was surprised to see Cosmic Shake as number 1, I mean I have seen A LOT of people say things like "This game still has problems unlike this game from the past," or "This game doesn't capture the spirit of the series like this one" or whatever, but I am honestly glad that Cosmic Shake didn't fall into that category.

[@ufohno5941]

I remember playing Atlantis squarepantis on my ds when I was younger and it was a blast, I’m glad you’re just as fond of the game as I am

[@helmyt666]

i kinda love yellow avenger for the ds. such a nostalgic ds shovelware game xD (love the soundtrack and the weird 2D/3D worlddesign)

[@Moodyskeletonz]

Obstacle Odyssey unlocked a memory, holy jesus I had one of those as kid and I completely forgot about it, I remember playing it on my moms laptop, I don't think I was very good at them though...

[@wantedflybird9541]

when you said fists of foam i was shocked. it wasn’t a bad side scroller game but very mysterious game for a very mysterious handheld console. i think i still have my didj

[@szero7429]

18:58 OH MY GOD is that a reskin of the 2002 game "Best Friends"???. Damnnn it hit me in the nostalgia feels hard I didn't know there was a SpongeBob version I used to play that game all the time as a kid wow

[@ervinparrish8392]

Hey if you think about it the SpongeBob games have a lot in common with crash bandicoot. We got some 3 really good games for each being Battle for Bikini Bottom, the movie game than Antlantis Squarepantis DS and after a decade and a half we got a fantastic remake followed by a great original sequel.

[@deadtbh9868]

As a kid, I absolutely loved the spongebob flash games, pc games, and the jakkspacific plug and play. I probably played any one of them individually more than I played BFBB. I also always prefered the movie game to BFBB too. Still, BFBB is amazing and still a game I enjoy today. Glad to see with the cosmic shake they're still doing *some* good things with the IP.

[@Yukinari2007]

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.
