If you recall my review on the Wii/Xbox 360 version, you'll probably know I wasn't particularly impressed by it.
Despite being developed by Heavy Iron Studios who gave us both Battle for Bikini Bottom and The Movie Game, it essentially just felt like a soulless and pale game with barely any of the charm that made those two titles good.
Japanese developers Altron were put in charge of this DS version and to my surprise, they've managed to do a far better job than what Heavy Iron did.
It's a charmingly fun platformer with the whole memory storyline working pretty well on the DS making it easy to pick up and play. Like most DS titles I've covered it's got some touchscreen/microphone stuff thrown into the mix, though it's mostly every now and then and you can still do SpongeBob's attacks via the buttons.
There's also a couple of minigames thrown into the mix with some of them being kinda fun and others not so much.
Some of these sounds effects though makes me chuckle a lot.
