A licensed video game based off of what is single-handedly right up there as one of the worst episodes in the yellow sponge's history sounds like it could be a recipe for disaster.
Thankfully though this GBA game isn't anywhere close to being as near-universally embarrassing as the episode it's based off of was (or even as "Walking Through a Bunch of Places While Pressing Random Buttons for No Reason" heavy which is what poor PS2 and Wii owners were stuck with via a crap minigame compilation) but at the same time it's a somewhat average title.
Essentially it's a cutdown 2D version of what the DS got with some of the fat trimmed out with plenty of platforming, plenty of character swapping and one or two minigames thrown in to break it all up.
It's all fine (the controls are alright and it's all colorful and peppered with that SpongeBob personality) and there's nothing too bad about it. It's just that I'm more curious about checking the DS version of it out and thus it all ends up being another one of those games that passes through my mind and quickly falls into the rabbit-hole of forgetfulness.
