As a kid, being able to go into SpongeBob’s house, Squidward’s house, the Krusty Krab, and all those locations was just mind blowing. Great game and great memories attached to it.

Not as many people talk about it but the spongebob movie game was really good too

Its funny, back then I thought these games were too childish and never touched them. Now, I can appreciate their charm and simplicity: a very pure gaming experience without bs. Weird how things change or better said, how you change.

Battle for Bikini Bottom is an all time favorite of mine. I lost my mind when it was announced that it was being remade. One of the few gaming miracles to happen thanks to fans and social media. Now we just need a Metalarms remake.

Man, seeing that ps2 copy with the camo helmet shot me right back to my childhood. I got this and the OG battlefront for ps2 for Christmas in 04.

bfbb will and forever be apart of my childhood. just the way the games handles plus how nostalgic it feels anytime i boot up my ps2, this plus lights camera pants, cftkk and atlantis squarpantis (DS) will always be the best spongebob games in my opinion.

My first experience with Spongebob BFBB was with Rehydrated on Switch. Other than the performance issues, the cult classic game held in high regard by fans was worth playing. I had a genuine fun time with Rehydrated. I'm excited for Cosmic Shake! Spongebob's moveset seems to have absorbed Patrick and Sandy's abilities, but as a result he looks and feels way more fleshed out. I do hope to see Patrick and Sandy playable again in the future with a new diverse moveset like Spongebob though. Either way just 4 more days until release. I hope the reviews will be more fair towards the game because it really looks like Purple Lamp put their heart and soul into what could be BFBB's successor. Spongebob's future in games looks bright!

It’s a very good game, but don’t sleep on the movie game either! I guess it was kind of like a sequel, you only get to play as SpongeBob and Patrick but damn it was so good.

I love how this review takes its time more than most other reviews! The Christmas story and the overview of the box art give your review a personal touch and I really liked that about it!

Such a classic, I’m stoked for Cosmic shake

"DON'T ASK QUESTIONS YOU AREN'T PREPARED TO HANDLE THE ANSWER TO" O-O

Never played this game as a kid. I played the PS1 2D platformer one that is hard as nails. I'd love to pick up the Rehydrated version just for convenience in the future. And nice suit Matty, really classy.

I loved seeing all the locations from the show, the controls, and the replayability of it! I really like when games make it so that you can revisit old levels with new abilities to open new areas and challenges. The game always feels fresh and never boring

I loved this game as a kid, one of my only video games growing up too. I didn't know about the remake until it was free on PS+ and I was so happy. 100% the game in a month.

I love your vids so much I recently found your channel and just enjoy watching you so much. And your GBA game reviews are the best vids in my opinion 😊

Didn’t expect you to cover this game specifically. I think it would be cool if you covered revenge of the flying dutchman eventually

Like you, this is one I grew up with and was probably among the first games I ever completed. After watching this video, I was inspired to go out and pick up a PHYSICAL copy of the game. It was only fifteen dollars, and that's game #45 for my physical Switch collection.

I never got to experience this one back in the day but I have been convinced. Finally gonna play this at the age of 25 idgaf

Goated game, can’t wait for cosmic shake

It is! hope Cosmic Shake is as good or better.

Just got into your channel and have binge watched just about everything! Great stuff. Please do Tak and the Power of Juju. I don't think you will be disappointed.

Bro you just teleported me to my 9th birthday in the back of my moms caravan reading the game guide on the way home from EB games. Big fan of retro rebound, you’re doing it right putting emphasis on those manuals

The sentimental value between you and the game is so special man, great video

Remember when games had manuals ? Lmao

I love this game. Idc how old I get. This game is goated. Much love for plucking at my nostalgic heartstrings with your videos, man! I can’t wait to see you make it huge eventually!

YOOO this take me way back!!!! Love this channel!!!

I’m almost 32 and totally agree that SpongeBob is still really good especially the earlier seasons. I think one reason SpongeBob is so big in meme culture is bc of how much it resonates with an older audience that grew up with it that still like it. I don’t think it’s the best platformer but it’s solid.

Another banger of video. Very much tnks for this awesome content.

I never played bfbb as a kid, although I did play a bit of ‘revenge of the Flying Dutchman’😅, but grew up with the show like you so playing this last year with my 6 year old niece was an absolute blast. I forgot that this was a remake of a 2003 game bc I was just enjoying it so much. The humor and dialogue was like a time capsule of classic SpongeBob that hit me in the perfect nostalgia spot for a show I also religiously watched. And the fact that I got to share it with my niece who also loves SpongeBob made it super memorable with so many laughs and frantic moments playing. I’m super grateful they remade a game I probably would never have gotten to experience otherwise💛💙

You may have just sold me on this!! I want to play it so bad. Though I'm wondering if Cosmic Shake will just be a better version? Guess we'll see

I love this game! I only played the remake but it was such a BLAST from start to finish!

I loved this game. Im the same age as ya boy matty. Its so crazy to me, growing up playing these games and hearing everyone as adults talk about enjoying similar experiences. Take care yall

This is one of the best 3D platformers ever (and sixth gen games!) and I refuse to hear otherwise. 😂 Like for real, this thing has open world, collectathon stuff, fast travel, sliding, weapons upgrades, epic bosses. The only one that I personally like more is Mario 64. I replay this game like once every year, it's just great.

I never finished the original but I finished Rehydrated on my switch and it was so much fun. Can't wait to play The cosmic shake

Great game. Cautiously hyped for cosmic shake

This game is going to be 20 years old this year. Man I feel old. I played this when I was 5-6 and it is my second favorite video game of all time. I have 100% rehydrated 10 times since it came out and I remember where the socks are by heart.

just replayed this game for the thousandth time again doesn’t get old absolutely love it

Mario Galaxy is easily the best 3D platformer ever to me but this is a classic

I enjoyed my time with cosmic shake. It was fun going back and collecting all the trophies and costumes.

We need a retro rebound of Tak and the power of juju! love mostly all the titles, never played the handheld versions

so glad you made this video - I ignored the remake because of the reviews despite being interested (I just assumed it was broken or unfinished or something). Can't believe they bombed it like that just for not being a ground up remake?

Who’s ready for cosmic shake? Releases in 2 days and I’m super hyped

as a kid i remember this game but never played it but after watching this video decided to play it and wow this game still holds up years later, but as good as this game is my favorite still has to be the spongebob movie game on ps2 mainly due to childhood nastalgia

Hey Matty, great video I love this game and I just passed the remaster a few months ago. I was wondering, do you collect all 8th and 9th gen games for PlayStation? I've noticed that all ur 7th gen games are almost all for 360 and 8th and 9th gen for PlayStation, is there a reason?

I didn’t have a lot of legendary games growing up, but I’m glad I had this gem.

Spongebob has been there for me ever since 1999 and at this point I can say it's preety much the rest of my life

This game is peak

Glad to know I’m not the only one who appreciates this game! I don’t remember why or where I got it but man I loved it ❤

Oh damn my grams mimi too shitt Haha I love your content man keep it up oh do you have a lets play of kotor 1 or 2? Have yo uh tried the mmo? It's good bro as long as you focus on gameplay and story equally

Thank you for this honest, accurate breakdown 🙂 Have you played any of the 3D Super Mario games besides 64? You really ought to play Sunshine, Galaxy, Galaxy 2, and Odyssey

This, Ratchet and clank, and Tak and the power of juju were my childhood

I loved this game. I used to play it on my PS2 until it stopped working for some reason. It was fun while it lasted. Then there was the remake. They released the game on mobile too. I never thought of playing BfBB on mobile. The graphics were mind blowing. We are never too old to play SpongeBob video games or watch episodes. Overall, this is my favorite 3D platformer yet.

This and Scooby Doo night of 100 frights were my favorite THQ kids games back in the day

KZfaq walk throughs is what helped me get the platinum trophy

I like to note that in the German Version, we used to have Game specific voice actors, and they always used the same ones. With Rehydrated we got the actually TV show voice actors for the first time. Thought that's a cool fact

The Simpsons Hit & Run is SO DANG GOOD too, and it was released around the same time, but never got a remake like BFBB.

Man’s a suit coat away from agent 47

We gotta talk about SpongeBob: Creature from The Krusty Krab

I have a golden spatula that I earned but it is glitched and won't let me pick it up. It is frustrating to run into this kind of thing, because my son and I have had a lot of fun playing this together.

such a wholesome memory :)

One of my nieces had this game for the Gamecube. I don't know if she still has it or not though. I did play the entirety of the Rehydrated remake for it on PS4 and managed to get every trophy for it, including the Platinum trophy....that was very frustrating -_- (I'm looking at you Kelp Forest).

This game slaps! Grew up with this one and played it all the time!

Glad you dressed for the occasion.

I remember wanting the SpongeBob movie game but I got this and I’m not even mad now that I’m older lol then I asked again for the movie game and got lights camera pants 😂

Battle for Bikini Bottom gets all the love but the SpongeBob SquarePants Movie Game played very similarly and I remember having a lot of fun with it as well. You should play that one too if you haven’t yet. I’d love for that one to get a port on modern consoles as wel!

Got it on the Switch just for fun. SO MUCH NOSTALGIA ❤

2:27 that's why I still have my copy of Jak 3. It's sooo scratched up and it's greatest hits and I have a great condition black label copy of the game but I'll never give up the copy my great aunt gave me.

love this game, i played the ps2 version and the PC version, which is completely different! wish you would of covered that one as well!

KEEP IT UP MATTY!

Revenge of the Flying Dutchman was not bad, i actually enjoyed the exploration more there. But i do agree that Battle for Bikini Bottom is the prefect balance, but i would never consider Revenge of the Flying Dutchman bad. It was slower gameplay yes, but it still had a big world and still is immersive

Dont be ashamed of liking SpongeBob Being an adult doesn't mean you're not allowed to have fun and like stuff

I platinum trophy this game and don't regret it

Don’t worry you can talk about Spongebob whenever 😂👍

I love Battle for Bikini Bottom. It is so solid. Glad you agree Matty! SpongeBob is the G.O.A.T.!!

Bro love the content. Love your choices on the games you talk about. You can tell you worked hard to get here

You have to do a review on the tak franchise you’re missing out!

I love this game and damn bro were the same age haha summer wby matty?

I feel the same way about not only this game, but SpongeBob Revenge of the Flying Dutchman for PS2 and GameCube. I loved that game more than BFBB. But both great games nonetheless.

My 2 year old is obsessed with the remaster lol takes over on my ps5 every time I turn it on 😭😂

Revenge of the Flying Dutchman was the one I played first love that game so much it’s not a bad game just has not aged well if they were to do a remake or remaster tho yes please

A truly excellent 3D Platformer - just as good as others of that gen like Jak, Sly, Mario and many others.

Would you ever consider doing one of these style videos on the tekken series or the thq wwe games?

I desperately want you to talk about DarkCloud. It has been in my top 5 games for the last 22 years. It was something that me and my mom did together when she was sick with stage 4 colon cancer. We played everyday, all day long, just doing dungeons and building the cities and towns.

Tak is a banger you should definitely look into it

Please review Tak: and the Power of Juju. it's a great game and it's one of my favorite platformers on Ps2.

You should cover the PS1 SpongeBob game!

I wish this game got the MCC treatment, you press a button and you can play the game in the original graphics and press the button again and see the rehydrated version

I agree this game is very good, although I kind of prefer the original over rehydrated. I was surprised you said it’s your favorite 3D platformer. As a huge fan of 3D platformers, I would definitely recommend trying the Jak trilogy, any Mario 3D platformer, especially Galaxy 2, the Ratchet PS2 trilgoy, the Sly games, and the Ape Escape trilogy.

The original BFBB will always be better than the remaster/remake.

I am little late to comment but I just wanted to say how much I loved the original Battle for bikini bottom on my GameCube along with the SpongeBob movie game. Both were such fantastic games I could replay over & over again. Growing up in that time was just an amazing time. I grew watching the show along with Scooby Doo which also had a very fun game by the same developers Heavy Iron studios. The remake is a very solid remake & I think it's worth noting all the extra stuff that was included that was scrapped from the original release like the multiplayer & several stages & boss battles.

PLEASE give voodoo Vince a try

did anyone play that one rocket power game? shit was cool i never even saw the show

This is considered to be one of the top licensed games of all time along side Simpsons Hit & Run, and if you're a woman, Bratz Rock Angelz. I also know the PC and GBA versions of the original are completely different games, Same title, Same cover art, Same story of Plankton's robots disobeying him, but Totally different gameplay. the PC version is a Minigame collection while the GBA version is a 2D puzzle platformer

Battle for Bikini Bottom is an amazing game. Rehydrated is okay enough. The remade graphics are fine, but almost a bit too clean. It lost the old art style and some of the charm that came with it. Like how new Spongebob episodes have a somewhat different art style to the 90s and early 2000s Spongebob show. I'm okay with it, but I think they overdid it with a few things, like the shiny objects don't really sparkle anymore, they're more like a slightly glowing smudge in a flower shape. They're a lot less florescent than they used to look. That said, my main issues with Rehydrated are the controls. It's so subtle. But there are some differences in the way Spongebob and the others move and control. For example, Spongebob's standard net attack no longer has the slight deceleration effect it used to have to slow your decent after jumping. It's minuscule, but just enough to where you won't make some jumps you feel like you should. His viking helmet bash also has some different physics that throw me off. Like you drop like a rock after using it. Maybe some of these things were patched since I played, but it just didn't feel as good as the original and I actually went back to play the first stage of the original again right before Rehydrated came out. My wife enjoyed it. I loved it and had trouble putting it down. Rehydrated came out and my wife put it down within an hour and I put it down by the end of Jellyfish fields and had no interest in going back. There's nothing tremendously different, other than the removal of some glitches that I didn't use anyways, but in just the basic controls and look of the game that take away some of its specialness and make it more generic and less good feeling

Loved jet fusion! Great Jimmy Neutron game

7:28 Yeah, I was disappointed with the backside of Battle for Bikini Bottom: Rehydrated's case compared to the backside of the original game.

Are you dressed as Light Yagami, Matty? 😅

men that game is good

I hope they remake the SpongeBob movie game. I enjoyed that one a lot. :)

Yes
