[@claytopolis]

the mere fact that Sandy's lasso animation is quicker and she can lasso enemies in mid-air would have been enough to make this a worthy remaster.

[@maxwell_edison]

Yeah but then you realize that they also completely messed up her swinging. The problem SuperButterBuns described with the swinging animation is the fact that it *did not used to be an animation* - the old swinging was completely physics-based, you could go around in a circle and such. The new one is just a static animation, so swing as hard as you can and you won't ever really change the momentum or go in a circle. One thing is improved, the other is downgraded. Weird tradeoff.

[@KingSolidTails]

@@maxwell_edison Bro I despise the fact that after lassoing an enemy in the original, they slam into whatever nearby wall is there and the new one just has them tear apart on the spot. Mighty unfortunate.

[@jenna7437]

I remember being so upset about how reviewers treated this game when it came out. They were deadass mad that it followed the original game so well. What were they expecting??? That was the entire point of the remake! I'm only mad about how sloooooow Spongebob and the other characters walk in the new version. I feel as though they were faster in the original. But overall, it's a game I hold near and dear to my heart and I will love it forever. Also, omg Sand Mountain is my favorite too!! ❤️

Like boxes hidden far out of camera view from other boxes and the levels are stupidly long, like 4 times the length of a crash 1 level. So if you finally get all the way to the end and just realized you missed one box, you have yo start it all over again. Starting a Crash 1 level over is nothing in comparison.

[@RyuKaguya]

[@OriginalGameteer]

Eh, personally I think Robo SpongeBob looks creepier here at the very least The blue eyes look more eerie, empty and lifeless, and the way it "opens" its mouth at times just looks wrong (since the upper half of its head just... shifts up briefly)

[@larsnyman2455]

I feel like the tension between Spongebob and Squidward comes from the fundamental difference in their mode of artistic expression as best seen in Season 2’s “Artist Unknown”. Squidward, the Apollonian, is a perfectionist who utilizes the height of technique, but lacks inspiration, making only warped self portraits that are only appreciated by himself, with the general public, represented by Monty P. Moneybags, declaring that it “belongs in the trash” Spongebob, on the other hand, is the Dionysian, guided only by enthusiasm and spur of the moment ideas, which can lead both to acts foolish to an outside observer (such as his game with Patrick at the start of “Squidward the Unfriendly Ghost”), but can also lead to acts of supernatural brilliance, such as his bubble art throughout “Bubble Stand” and his spontaneous reconstruction of David during “Artist Unknown” Squidward ultimately cannot allow himself to access the divine inspiration that Spongebob has because it runs counter to his image of the refined, dignified artiste, only performing great art when he is pushed to his breaking point, such as the Ultimate David he creates and abandons at the end of “Artist Unknown” or the symphony he wrote through sleep deprivation and Spongebob’s noisy “medical examination’ throughout “Suction Cup Symphony”. In conclusion, Squidward resents Spongebob for his naïveté, which he believes invalidates any artist with that trait, but Spongebob uses as fuel to create art that far outshines anything Squidward has created.

I think one of my biggest issues with the reviewers (aside from literally everything they said) is the "go play the original" like homie... some of us don't have a ps2 anymore and I don't feel like buying one that's over $200 and it might work. Remasters make games more accessible to people as well as improving upon them, so it's always a delight when one comes out. I never got to play a lot of games because I simply didn't have the system or money for it, so now all these remasters coming out on the next gen consoles warms my heart because I can finally play them.

I have never played the rehydrated version but I remember loving jellyfish fields more than the flying dutchmans graveyard. I loved jellyfish fields because it was a fun level with a good taste of combat and platforming and that main theme is a pure injection of nostalgia right into my veins.

[@a1joryj]

I really liked this remake/remaster, I even 100%ed it the first week it came out because I was so happy about how good it looked and how tight the controls were, as well as QoL changes. As a basic game where you get 70 Spatulas, it's fantastic--still a great platformer. But it's such a damn, DAMN shame of what they skipped out on: -The 100% "reward" for this game still sucks. It's still just a do-nothing cutscene that unlocks nothing, and the theatre, which previously had concept art for things like Robot Squidward and such, now just has...crappy screenshots. Of the game you're playing. Of places you could go to yourself. Of places you've BEEN TO by now. HUGE disappointment. -Cut content wasn't added into this remake, at least, not the way we expected. I remember them saying that they were going to fully flesh out Patrick's Dream and add in the Robot Squidward fight, which I was really excited for because I saw some betas of Patrick's Dream from the OG and it looked kinda cool. But nah, it was just shoved into the crappy VS mode. -The VS mode is awful: connection is garbage, moves are limited for no reason, characters are practically the same combat wise, it's just trash. -They outright removed Speedrunning tricks from this version. I remember a live interview of them saying they were bouncing ideas of what they wanted to do to appease the Speedrunning community, maybe adding a toggle to allow glitches. But nope, that never happened. Fuck you and your Cruise Bubble, I guess. -So I heard this was patched, I don't remember exactly, but while you CAN use a GameCube controller for the Switch version of this game, you CAN'T map the buttons. Suddenly X is Y and A is B, etc. I don't know if this was fixed yet, but if not, huge letdown--I loved the GameCube controller's controls for this game. I don't regret buying this, but honestly, I'm gonna stick to the original if I want to play this again.

Saying they “removed” speedrunning tricks is disingenuous. The game was built from the ground up, so they would’ve had to spend development time purposely adding in glitches from the old game. Considering how buggy and rushed the game felt at launch, it’s completely understandable they prioritized other things. They clearly weren’t given enough time to make the game the best it could be so it made sense to focus on polishing the main game instead of taking the time to add in a “speedrunning mode” when speedrunners could always just play the original.

[@IzraelGraves]

@@pokepwned Your point is a little shakier when you consider they added things like the death plane to stop you from jumping to the bottom of the slide like you always could before. Just saying.

[@pokepwned]

@@IzraelGraves The devs had made it clear beforehand that they weren’t okay with keeping in exploits that would affect a casual playthrough, like being able to grab the ledge to skip most of the room in the Mermalair as well as the slide skip you’re referring to. Both of those can and have been easily discovered by casual players with no prior knowledge. On a casual playthrough, they didn’t make the game better, but rather allowed the level design to be entirely ignored. During discussions the devs had with the BfBB speedrunning community, the community near-unanimously agreed with this approach of fixing exploits that affect a casual playthrough.

[@IzraelGraves]

@@pokepwned Those are still two speedrunning tricks that got removed. Full stop.

[@pokepwned]

@@IzraelGraves You’re correct. They’re pretty basic tricks, but they are indeed used in speedruns. Though it does go back to my point on how they spent the short development time they had tweaking and polishing the main game rather than adding in speedrun tricks that were lost when the game was rebuilt from the ground up. These seem to be the type of tricks that op is referring to. Tricks like cruise-boosting and sponge-gliding. I don’t think the devs would have communicated with the speedrunning community at all if they never intended to listen to their feedback and take it into account. They weren’t given enough time by Nickelodeon or THQ or whomever else to go about the issue in the ideal way. The reason they got to fixing the exploits we’re talking about is because they used their short development time to focus on how the vast majority of players would play the game: casually. They seriously did consider adding iconic speedrunning tricks from the original game back in-which is something 99% of devs wouldn’t have even considered-but simply ran out of time.

Finally, a good review of this game. Spongebob's Dream is actually my least favorite level, because of its difficulty. I actually felt that they toned it down some in Rehydrated. Except for the death plane that keeps you from skipping the slide near the start, I wanna punch the developer that put that there when it wasn't there in the original. Let me jump right to the bottom, darn you! I'll forever like the Sandy's Dream level though. Slidin' texan fun, yeehaw, pardner.

48:38 "Back in the better days" with a Turahk Bionicle! That was TARGETED and I *FELT THAT* 😂 you're the best, Buns 😂

[@busterdaburrito8642]

We got our one Buns vid for the year, can’t wait to see what the next one in 2023 is like, in all seriousness I genuinely enjoy your content and seeing this uploaded made me smile today so thanks

Speaking of the scores, both IGN and Gamespot(mainly IGN) have gave games that are either so bad that you hated it or games that were too easy even more so than you can believe. Games like P5R got a 10/10 despite being a easy game that has so many broken mechanics that the challenge is beating it without the mechanics appearing and such. Meanwhile games like this got a 5/10 and Luigi’s mansion a 4/10… I can’t make this shit up, people. Moral of the story, never trust IGN nor GameSpot if they make statements as “this challenge is hard even though it looks and it is easy”

[@IzraelGraves]

I mean if you think P5R isn't a 10/10 your taste in video games as a whole is completely questionable and invalidates the rest of your comment, even though everything else you said was spot on. Lol

27:48 Y'know, for rock bottom to be confusing and hard to navigate kind of fits how it is on the show 😂

[@Warriorcat1617]

So glad to see you back!! Although I can't believe you said "combat hoopla" and didn't edit in a clip of that fish yelling hoopla from the Krusty Krab manual episode🤣🤣 A missed opportunity but still a super fun review as always! I've missed your videos so much. Welcome back!!

[@brickadventures]

13:23 when you said “just back it up” you should have inserted the scene where squidward just says “Back it up” from the krusty krab pizza episode😂

[@MateuLeGrillepain]

I'll have you know I found out Spongebob's French voice is also Beck in Mighty No. 9 and I only cried like an anime fan on prom night for 20 minutes

[@gnbman]

Well, since this is a pettiness amnesty zone, I disagree about the color changes. The original was more true to the look of the show, and the remake just feels like Purple Lamp was showing off to line their porfolios. In fact, the original (along with the movie tie-in and Creature from the Krusty Krab) still look good enough today that THQ Nordic should have just released an HD trilogy of them with original graphics intact and the only changes being any necessary QOL/gameplay enhancements.

[@hmbrandon164]

Im so glad to see this. And I'm reminded that I really want to see THQ Nordic release a Tak Remake

[@mukul3d3]

Even though its been awhile, the charm is still there! Great video Buns!
