[@brandslamchannel]

Yeooo gamers! It turns out at the beginning of the Jellyfishing Competition, the game does indeed tell you to catch “game total” 100 Jellyfish Sorry about that!

[@kalkuttadrop6371]

It's also in the To-Do List you can check afterwards at any time. And the game has a perfectly good reason for making the hud display that worlds total, it's useful for the Dubloon and Jellyfish objectives that most worlds have, which DO require them to be caught in that world specifically. Literally nobody brought this up as an issue(The PS2 save bug was way more discussed) until Lambhoot and then suddenly it's a big deal despite him being incorrect about the game telling you

[@OmegaChase1002]

Skill issue.

[@andykishore]

Yeah, but that message is only onscreen for a couple seconds.

[@OmegaChase1002]

@@andykishore how long do you need to read 2 words?

[@andykishore]

@@OmegaChase1002 15-20 seconds. Also, don't you see that E for everyone rating on the game's box art? This is a kid's game and younger kids don't always have the fastest of reading skills.

[@kalkuttadrop6371]

The design of most areas is based on what they had in S1. Jellyfish Fields was depicted with parks and rivers and playgrounds in Karate Choppers, and hills and cliffs in Jellyfishing. They went with that. Goo Lagoon is described as a 'stinky mudpuddle for you and me' so they made the whole place kinda gross and foreboding. Downtown is based on the creepy nightscenes in Hall Monitor and one or two shots from Pizza Delivery, hence the dark streets and Neon. Larry is a jerk because his first two appearences(MuscleBob and Ripped Pants) potrayed him as one. Bus Stops are the main form of transport because of their role in Rock Bottom. The Flying Dutchman is far more evil and foreboding in his first couple of roles (Scaredy Pants, Squidward the Unfriendly Ghost, Shanghaied) so they went with that. Mr. Krabs was still somewhat tame so shutting down the resturant kinda fits. That's also why they used OCs. They didn't really have a 'old sea captain' character with Krabs out of the picture, nor did they have a Jellyfishing expert since Kevin didn't exist yet, so (since Jellyfishing is a form of fishing) they invented Rusty Scupper, the old grizzled jelly fisherman to fill the role.

[@takanamoon9907]

It's odd how brandslam didn't point this out, or even acknowledge that fact. Most of the complaints about the game stem from the characterizations and worldbuilding made after the games' release.

[@Marchers46]

@@takanamoon9907 I guess not that many people guesses that. Makes sense, this game came out 3 years after Spongebob started so it’s likely that people think that season 2 was the inspiration for a lot of this game.

[@wrmsnicket]

Downtown in this game has always reminded me of Hall Monitor. And it’s weird to complain about the Liberty the game developers took with Jellyfish fields when Battle for Bikini Bottom did the exact same thing. Every game featuring that location has platforming because lol SpongeBob games are platformers. That’s just how it works. As for the Reef Blower, I always just assumed that SpongeBob is saying he’s never used the model of reef blower. It is a very different look than the one in the episode.

[@bf3cooldude]

You know, I played this game the first time in 2007. When I was a kid. And then played it again in 2011. And I’m gonna be honest with you, this game is really good. Despite its terrible reputation, I think this game is part of my childhood nostalgia. I even played this along with battle for bikini bottom. I gonna say this is one of the best underrated games in SpongeBob history.

[@qrowing]

I had the opposite feeling with this one. Loved it as a kid, and have very very vivid memories of playing it. Only to boot it up, and sort of struggle with the whole thing. I will say though: the pizza delivery bit I remember being crazy hard, but doing it as an adult was the most *trivial* thing LOL. I must have been so bad as a kid!

[@zoltanwilson4277]

You're actually right about that.

[@zoltanwilson4277]

​@@qrowing Krabby Patty delivery bit. Not Pizza delivery.

[@ErzaScarlet4300]

Same here as a kid I always thought it was such a hard game but back during the pandemic I got a ps2 emulator on my pc and I remember I couldn’t beat SpongeBob the movie , the revenge of the Flying Dutchman, and battle of bikini bottom. After decades of thinking it was impossible to beat I finally went back to Flying Dutchman and battle of bikini bottom and finally beaten them as an adult and wow it was a lot easier then I thought lol😂😂😂😂

[@bf3cooldude]

@@ErzaScarlet4300 see, it doesn't really matter for how terrible the game is, all that matters is that this game is really great. even for spongebob video game standards. heck, even watchmojo ranked the revenge of the flying dutchman as the best spongebob game ever.

[@JarethR]

As a kid, I also thought this game was better than battle for bikini bottom. I finally got around to playing it again for the first time in years and I was sad to see there was 0 bonus for 100% completion. No ending bonus, dialogue, or even a message on screen at all. It was so weird to me since the pause menu has the check list and each collectable had their own % completion for each world.

[@ronochyrule6707]

funny thing, when you brought the fact the developers didn't use invisible walls but made the walls of the game world feel like they were part of the world, it reminded me of how when they first started making the show they wanted to add a lot of detail and things to the background.

[@nicholasschmidt2864]

Bruuuuh I always vaguely remembered playing a 3D Spongebob game on the 6th generation where I was dowsing for treasure in front of Spongebob's pineapple, and I thought it was some weird altered memory of me playing BFBB. I definitely never owned this game as a kid, so I must have rented it from Blockbuster and never heard of the title at all until watching this video on a whim. Thank you for explaining this weird memory I've always had.

[@FreakDaMIghet]

I also have fond memories of this game, and preferred it to Battle for Bikini Bottom. Sure, it's janky and the jelly fishing competition is annoying af, but every time I hear that music, I immediately get nostalgic.

[@Hugelag]

31:39 could easily be explained by saying that he'd never used _that specific model_ before. It looks more advanced than the one he already has, so it probably has a different layout and different controls. It's an upgrade from the previous model.

[@PewPewBeets]

My sister and I played this game a ton back in the mid to late 2000s. This thing, along with GTA: Vice City, Simpson's Hit & Run, Tiger Woods PGA 2007, THUG 2, and the Sims defined our childhoods.

[@monopolyrubix1875]

I couldn't pass downtown as a kid because I didn't know what an albatross was. Had to cave in and look it up. Using the word "albatross" and making it mandatory to progression in a game for young kids was an... interesting design decision.

[@theCFseries12]

This game holds a special place in my heart. It will forever be an all-time favorite for me. This was the first SpongeBob game I played on the playstation 2. I've beat the game numerous times, and would beat it again.

[@kalkuttadrop6371]

29:48 It says it's the game total in the to do list. Also, Doubloons and Jellyfish are counted seperatedly in each world for the Doubloon and Jellyfishing tiles in each of them, while Sand Dollars can only be found in Goo Lagoon(plus earned in one mission in Downtown) and you really just need the fixed amount to trigger two in-game events.

[@Leedleleedle101]

not to mention it tells you right after you’re done talking to rusty

[@colinvanblaricom6573]

I LOVED this game as a kid. So much charm, I actually love all the loose ends to it, adds to the charm. I also don't think it was that unpopular among fans at all. It won Kids Choice Awards in 2003 I also actually still do think its kind of a creepy game. There's definately an eeriness to it, particuarly the treasure hunting treasures. I also think it lends to the uncanny valley at times unintentionally which also makes it more creepy

[@sheepswool]

The treasure hunting sections were such a shift in vibe from how the levels felt when first playing through them that they started to feel ominous and empty the second they began. Especially since the npcs seemed to vanish once the treasure hunting began.

[@Corrupt8Boss]

I remember when I was very young I had this game on the ps2. I didn't have a memory card so I could never beat it as a child, the furthest I ever got was chum world. A few years ago I bought a gamecube just to play this game again and relive the nostalgia and honestly it still gives me the same feeling as when i was young. the game definetly has it's glaring problems but it's just fun, its one of the few games that i can pick up and just not want to put it down. Plus the square pants theme from this game is an absolute banger of a song. One part I always got stuck on was trying to find sandy in downtown bikini bottom, ive probably spent hours in that location just from looking for her not realising she didn't show up until later in the game. Anyway nice video man it's always great seeing a good video about a niche topic that not many people are also interested in.

[@PhantomAarantula]

With you all the way on the Jellyfish total design problem. That's just extremely confusing that there's only one element that doesn't carry over from level to level, especially when collecting for 100% doesn't net you anything.

[@OPNightWing]

This was the second game I ever bought, was worth every $6 sad that people dont give it much attention

[@SaminaJam96]

I remember liking this game as a kid, but my PS2 copy stopped working after I beat it, so it's left in my nostalgic memories. As I got older, I was realy surprised to find out how many people hate it. Your fair analysis is much appreciated!

[@BAIGAMING]

I'm still in the middle of watching this video and I think your timestamp covers this later but I'll say it anyways. This was my favorite Spongebob game back in the day, it's janky but it represents very old Spongebob like it was made when only season 1 and maybe 2 aired. But this game's development has such an extremely sad history, another person made a documentary with interviews. The development studio, BigSky, weren't getting paid by the publisher on time and were being forced with unrealistic timelines, to the point where they put in a game-breaking bug by mistake, many kids had it including myself, fan reviews at the time mentioned it often. The gamebreaking bug is that if you played it with an old PS2 ("fat") model it couldn't load different zones properly, I think you needed a slim model or a different console to play it no problem. So basically trying to go to anywhere other than Bikini Bottom caused the game to freeze, completely unacceptable for a PS2 product it wasn't the NES days where you could just make un-finishable games. This caused such a headache for retailers, to the point where so many angry mothers complaining that they would just give you a new game for free if you traded it in lol. But to finish the sad development story BigSky got a lot of flack for that bug, to the point where they were blacklisted from getting any other IPs to make games from and going bankrupt soon after. Seriously check out that documentary if you haven't it's so sad to see the other side of the game. 58:30 Ah good you watched that documentary. I think you grew up with this game on the Gamecube so you had no problems, it was horrible growing up with this and only having a PS2, I had to revisit it years later. Great retrospective!

[@gandalfbaggins8859]

I remember having that big and being so frustrated with it 😂 eventually after trying again and again, it didn’t freeze and I was able to go to the next area tho

[@KazShiro]

@@gandalfbaggins8859 I feel sorry for the people without memory cards back then. Especially when this was before autosave was common in ps2 game.

[@benamisai-kham5892]

Until recently I had no clue the PS2 was so riddled, I grew up with the GC copy so didn't know that poor PS2 players had to deal with that 😭

[@checksam]

The animation looks awkward and in "pieces" is because models back then were designed to be either open meshes (where you control each body part of the model individually and the rig, or skeleton of the limbs are typically not actually 'attached'), or closed meshes (where the models limbs are attached and moving parts of the mesh will effect other nearby parts). Hope this helps anyone who is curious!

[@darkninjafirefox]

This was one of 3 games I had growing up and I loved it so much. Despite the bugs and my amazing ability to get lost no matter where I am, I really loved it and felt accomplished when I finally beat it. This game deserves a remake/remaster

[@theodorereyes8767]

Some of the best times as a kid were playing this game after school.. good stuff and great analysis!

[@RetroGaming-gp2ef]

The one annoying thing that I hate in this and in some old games is there’s only a few soundtracks that repeat over and over again.

[@honofelux]

Man what a nice and cozy video. I remember playing this game when i was a kid but could never beat it because there was also the language barrier as a spanish speaker and never knew what to do, but this review of the entire game made me happy, specially when covering the plot, it was pretty nice. Despite the bugs and some other flaws the game does feel like it stands by the spirit of first years of spongebob.

[@gemst0nes]

hopefully this gets a remaster.. we can only pray!

[@NobleAbsinthe]

I love your review of this game and you're so chill and speak like a normal dude. Please review Battle for Bikini Bottom in the same style.

[@valliniumguy2878]

I liked this game well enough when i was younger, but I distinctly remember the "wtf is happening" factor reaching critical mass once I got to the sliding puzzle / dowsing sections. I still played more after that, but I can never not associate this game with the sheer confusion of that section.

[@canariawing]

i played this game with my mom as a kid and it scared the absolute shit out of me. watching this video, seeing the the game and hearing all the music again brought me right back to that feeling of dread and uneasiness that i felt around 20 years ago. the vibes of this game are atrocious and off-putting even now

[@TheLukecottle]

I got your channel recommended to me and you got a new subscriber instantly. You are such a chill charismatic funny person. Plus i loved this game growing up. I'm a proud 25-year-old who still plays this game for nostalgia sometimes haha. Thanks for the awesome content dude. Cannot wait to see more from you.

[@fluffyninja3467]

My MAN, thank you for talking about this game! I grew up with this one (missing out on the other "good" ones) and hearing you talk about it fills me with so much nostalgia... And fear of the game haha 🤣

[@vixenfox1910]

The Jellyfish do act differently based on color. Pink flies in a set path, Green sits there and will float up when approached while not sneaking, Yellow and Red both sit still until you get close enough then they go straight for you. Yellow is slower than Red I think, or Red deals more damage. Blue flies away when approached

[@operationgamer5879]

This was a joy to watch! I’m so glad to see other people making videos on this game, purely just because it was a part of their childhood. It also awesome to see that this video was inspired by the same video that inspired my own video on this game 😂. Props to you, my dude. This was awesome!

[@justalilcritter]

One of my favorite games as a Kid was SpongeBob SquarePants The Movie Game, the one made for the original. It was my favorite one, I even preferred it over BFBB. I remember it so vividly, it was one of the first games I ever 100%

[@Superb_0wl]

Honesty this is a Classic despite its reception, only 3 issues i found w this game: 1. No Autosave Feature 2. Really Annoying Music 3. 4 some reason the PS2 version constantly freezes on Loading Screens However heres my advice: 1. Always remember 2 save b4 shutting off (I have a Note 📝 Written in my Game Case) 2. Mute the Music in the Pause Menu 3. Avoid the PS2 version completely Done! ✅

[@shark_vii]

thank you for covering this game! played a ton as a kid, and I also loved the faithfulness to the earliest episodes of the show. about the jellyfish: if I remember correctly (it's been many years), the colour determines their behaviour. pink has a fixed pattern of swimming, blue runs away, red chases, green floats up, and yellow has a more-random pattern.

[@supermike12321]

Revenge of the Flying Dutchman is Halloween candy equivalent of circus peanuts. Not as gross as wax lips and unwrapped dried candy corn, but not quite at the level of actual candy. I happen to like circus peanuts, though. It feels like eating orange flavored plastic, which is concerning, but they taste good. I feel the same feeling playing Dutchman.

[@RoboticEdward]

I played the entire game in 5 hours without saving yesterday, and honestly... it's not as bad as people say it is. Now, of course, I grew up with it, so I'm a lot more softer to it than most would be. It's definitely an uncanny valley kinda game from the models to the atmosphere. It's not a horror game, yet I always got weird vibes when playing it even when I was younger. Whether it be all of SpongeBob's friends disappearing or Downtown Bikini Bottom and Chum World giving off lonely vibes. The lack of level music definitely adds to that feeling. This is a game asking for an iceberg lol. It's like "Wet Dry World negative emotional aura" if it were an entire game. Despite all this lambasting, I still enjoy it, though it's definitely a lesser game compared to the other SpongeBob games released that generation. Collecting Jellyfish was definitely a wakeup-call realizing you have to accumulate the Jellyfish you catch period if you want the Reef Blower and Larry's Goo Lagoon ticket.

[@mint_1919]

Does anyone else this game is a little liminal and creepy? Especially towards the end of the game before getting to the Dutchman's graveyard. It always just felt weird how empty some of the hub worlds felt
