SpongeBob SquarePants Movie, The (GameBoy Advance)

There's trouble in Bikini Bottom! Someone has stolen King Neptune's crown, and it appears as though Mr. Krabs is the culprit. Despite being passed over for a promotion by Mr. Krabs, SpongeBob and his faithful but dimwitted friend Patrick volunteer to make the perilous journey to Shell City to retrieve the crown and save Mr. Krabs' life. On a heroic, comedic quest that takes them to new and unexplored territory, we see SpongeBob and Patrick as we've never seen them before. Play as SpongeBob or Patrick working together to save Mr. Krabs and all of Bikini Bottom – each with their own set of unique maneuvers. Interact with all your favorite characters from the movie including authentic voices and special cameo appearances. Earn "manliness" points to get the coolest power-ups ever like the "CartWheel Attack", "Electric Guided Sonic Wave Guitar" and the "Macho Bash!" [THQ]

Critic Reviews

65 GameZone
While there are no glaring problems or errors in this game, neither is there much fun, which is the point of gaming, after all. Best for die-hard SpongeBob fans.
60 Nintendojo
Generally one of the most simplistic platformers you may encounter. Even though Patrick and SpongeBob go through each level attached at the hip, they may as well be only one person. Or... sea creature.
58 Nintendo Power
The paths branch, giving you the freedom to explore, but some areas are more difficult to reach than they should be, making the platforming tricky at times. [Dec 2004, p.154]
