DESCRIPTION

Nickelodeon's animated sponge takes a GameCube plunge in a 3D platform game set in and around the colorful underwater world of Bikini Bottom. SpongeBob must stop the evil Flying Dutchman, whose spirit was inadvertently freed after opening a treasure chest. Angered by the wake-up call, the Flying Dutchman plans on luring SpongeBob's friends to become part of his ghostly galleon. After consulting with resident expert Squidward, SpongeBob realizes the only way to stop the Flying Dutchman is to locate the missing treasures throughout Bikini Bottom.

Players navigate seven distinct regions while completing eight challenges on each level. As players progress through the game, characters will undergo various costume changes, including outfits based on Mermaid Man, Barnacle Boy, and more. Mini-games can also be unlocked, and the disc includes original sketches of SpongeBob SquarePants characters as a special bonus. Reprising their voice-over work from the series are Tom Kenny as SpongeBob and Bill Fagerbakke as Patrick Star. Other featured characters include Sandy Cheeks, Mr. Krabs, and Plankton. ~ Scott Alan Marriott, All Game Guide
