My sixth review will be on SpongeBob Battle for Bikini Bottom which I played on the PS2 (ahh childhood memories). The game starts off with SpongeBob and Patrick playing cowboys and robots and then they wish too play with real robots, so they use the magic wishing shell and shakes and says that in the morning, there will be real robots to play with. Meanwhile Plankton, finished invention called the Duplicatotron 3000 that makes life size robots (lucky for Patrick and SpongeBob) but Plankton has the lever on Don't obey so they kick him out of his own home.You can also play as Sandy in this game. Now for what I like about the game. First off, All three characters has two abilities that are unique to them, SpongeBob can use a bubble missile attack and can use a bubble Viking bowling ball to hit something out of range of his normal spin attack which he use a bubble blowing stick (I don't know what it is called and yes all his attack's are based off bubbles). The one that first tells you your basic attacks is Bubble Buddy that comes from an episode of the same name (I think, its been along time okay don't judge me). Patrick is that he can pick up and throw watermelons and ice fruit around. He can also belly flop and create a small shock wave to make them go in a ball and throw them. Sandy can use her lasso to grab on enemies and destroy them instantly or to stay in the air for a few seconds kinda like a helicopter (helicopter sound effect include). I like all the bosses in the game. There are three robot ones and three that aren't robots. The first robot one you face is Robot Sandy which you face has SpongeBob in the first and thrid round and Patrick in the second round (yes there are in a wrestling ring). The thing that I like the most about this boss battle is that Patrick does not take it seriously. The second robot one is robot Patrick and you fight it as SpongeBob and Sandy. Like the last boss, you fight as SpongeBob in the first and third round while Sandy gets the second round. The second and third round is flooded with acid so you can't just it his weak point which is his back (and there's a stick note that says hit here). My favourite thing about this boss battle is before the second round, there is a cutscene where SpongeBob gets frozen and Sandy's reaction is the best. The final robot one is robot SpongeBob and you fight him as only SpongeBob this time. After you hit all the the green weak points with your bubble rocket you go indise of robot SpongeBob (get your mind out of the gutter) so you can destroy his brain. Now for the two not robotic bosses. The first one you will come across is King Jelllyfish which you beat him up as SpongeBob so you can give Squidward a cure for his Jellyfish stings (no not urine). The second boss is the Flying Ducthman and you fight him has Sandy so you can get out of the graveyard for ships. The third one is Prawn which he uses sound to hurt you and you need to hurt him with the bowling ball. All of the enemies are fun too fight. My favourite enemy is the one that use a ham on a stick and whacks you with it like a hammer (think it though). There are some slides in the game where you slide down (obviously) but how Spongebob does it is funny, he uses his tongue. The game makes lots of references too the show like, you can teleport from point A to point B by using a box which is from the episode Idiot Box where SpongBob and Patrick imagine cool things inside a box. Another one is some of the locations like the Kelp forest and Rock Bottom which appeared in the show only once (if I remember correctly). The location that I like the most in this game is the Mermalair which belongs too Mermaid Man and Barncle Boy which is a reference too the 1960s Batman television series. Around the world you can fight robots that come from little version of the Duplicatotron 3000 and the music is awesome. The game is just like other 3D platforms like those that can be found on the N64 like two of the Banjo-Kazooie games and Mario 64. Which means that you need to collect stuff like in this game you collect golden spatulas which is a reference to the episode where Plankton wants the Krabby Patty secret formula and bribes SpongeBob with a golden spatula. To upgrade your health which are underpants, you need to find some golden underpants. The best things that are funny for me are the lost socks for Patrick and the shiny things (yes that's waht they are called) to get to certain areas. Now for what I hate about this game. First of all, since I was younger when I played the game not as intelligent in games I will say what I'm suppose to do here and die trying to figure it out. Secondly just like the last point, when I got to the second robotic boss, the third round is difficult because you have to hit robot Patrick by using your bowling ball to hit his back but almost every time his back is facing the moving platforms that move you into the acid. Sometime he is out of reach and you miss your chance to hit him. If I would to rate this game on scale one to ten it would be a 8. The tralier is up top and just like some games some trailers look different then the full game.
