Probably the first 3D platformer I ever played, and for a rushed movie tie in made in less than a year they did a fantastic job with this game. It's more linear and challenging than BFBB was which in my opinion makes it more replayable. The platforming and combat are simple but engaging and by the end of the game It'll really start testing your skills more than any other SpongeBob game out there.
The worst thing about this game is the padding, doing the same driving and slide missions multiple times can get really repetitive and the slide levels especially can go on for way too long which makes fucking up a time trial frustrating, especially as a kid. Nowadays I can beat this whole thing in one sitting so it's not an especially big deal for me now but on a first playthrough, yeah that shit kinda sucks and the collectathon aspect of this game is really just there to pad it out.
The FMV cutscenes also suck but to be honest if I really wanted more plot detail I'd just watch the movie. The main appeal of this game is getting to explore all the areas from the movie and this game really does bring all these spots to life. In some cases like the Goofy Goober's or the Thug Tug they expand these small buildings into their own massive worlds with a ton of different environments, makes no sense at all but it's really creative and fun to play through. Most other licensed games would have just had these levels be a bunch of samey hallways and rooms but Heavy Iron really went all out in stretching these themes to their absolute limits.
The soundtrack also goes SO hard. Damn near every track is a banger and they set the mood for their stages perfectly. My favorite is the Thug Tug theme which is this Bad to the Bone sounding ass rock song but halfway through they throw a ukulele into the mix just to remind you it's a SpongeBob song and that just takes it to the next level.
In the end despite this games faults the clear passion oozing from every aspect of this game make it an absolute classic. They made the best platformer they possibly could within the constraints and deadlines of a movie tie in game, and I'm so glad I got to grow up with it.

A PS1 hidden gem. This kart racer pushes the system to its limit with it's great visuals and high sense of speed. The DnB soundtrack is catchy as hell and the game just oozes with charm and attention to detail. The controls are a slippery and take some getting used to, but the games early tracks are easy enough to help you get accustomed to them.
But there lies the game's biggest issue: once you do master the controls the games early tracks become way too easy. Unlike most other kart racers the game doesnt have difficulty options for each cup. The cups themselves have a set difficulty. The first cup is Easy, second cup is Medium, and the last cup is Hard. Not even selecring Single Race or creating your own custom GP lets you adjust the CPU difficulty. Having different difficulty options for each cup would have given the game much more longevity, but regardless I'd still highly recommend checking this game out.

The best remake I've ever played
The original Rayman is a decent game, it's got great music, a wonderful sense of creativity, and is pretty fun for the first few worlds.
But after a while it just goes to shit. The dificulty spikes are massive, Rayman's slow movement speed eventually becomes unbearable, and in order to beat the game you have to break every cage, many of which are way too cryptic. To top it off, if you run out of continues you have to start the game all over again.
Rayman Redemption takes everything great about the original and makes it a million times better. Rayman has all of his moves from the start, including his run, making his slow walk a non-issue. The game is much more balanced now, due to Rayman's added mobility and other QOL features such as having an option for infinite lives, no knockback when getring hit, no turn animation when crawling, etc. The game also has shops that give you skins, power ups, and most importantly, new radars that point you to where those pesky cages/presents are.
All of this doesn't make the game too easy though, in fact at times it can get even more challenging than the original. The big difference here is that Redemption is much more fair and overall more fun to play than the original.
There's pretty much no reason to even go back to the original now. Rayman 1 is my least favorite Rayman game, but this remake is my #1. And the best part? The game is a free fan creation! Ubisoft doesn't get a cent from this! Go play it now!
