This review contains spoilers

This Game, based on a cartoon with many leaps in logic is too illogical.

The Story is that Spongebob keeps doing tasks for Mermaid Man, and Barnicle Boy, so they will sign a picture for Spongebob to give to patrick for his birthday. This is all there is to the story, and it is not enough to justify making a game out of it. It's not interesting enough on it's own, and even the ending makes me question why Squidward, Mr. Krabs, or Plankton would turn up to the party. Also during one chapter, Barnacle Boy says that Kandy bars can be found only in BIKINI Bottom, instead of Rock Bottom, which you go to anyway during the level.

The Characters are the same as in the show. I do believe that the characters doing these things are the ones from TV.

The Graphics are trash, they are too pixelated for the Playstation 2, and animations don't even try to match what the characters are saying.

The Gameplay has you going to random places to get items that you probably could find "mostly" anywhere normal, while fighting off random enemies by catching jellyfish, or other weapons to throw at them, and fighting bosses in not very fun ways, especially the first boss, who is a giant jellyfish who is scarred of JELLYFISH, yes I know it's shocking, and a final boss which is pathetic when it's AI doesn't always attack you, but instead hides from cover when it could get to you first. All with slippery controls that can make you miss your jumps and landings. During one chapter, you get a Time Machine from Plankton "which begs the questions, how does Spongebob know he has one? and Why doesn't Plankton use it to do whatever he wants?", and also the other characters come and give you tips, even in places they could not get to. Also the Story says that Spongebob gets eaten by a whale, but in the level, we move him inside it's mouth.

The Music is good, has a very respectable Spongebob feel. But when there are sound effects all the time, during collecting spatulas, collecting jellyfish, jumping, walking, and the audio, and music that is at the same level of sound as the effects make the whole game feel cluttered in the sound department.

Spongebob Squarepants: SuperSponge for the PlayStation 2 is to be arrested for vigilantism, and not the good kind.
