Game description: An all-new adventure for SpongeBob SquarePants, based on the animated feature film. There's trouble in Bikini Bottom -- again! Someone has stolen King Neptune's crown, and Mr. Krabs is the main suspect. Despite having been passed over for a promotion by Mr. Krabs, SpongeBob and his faithful (but dimwitted) friend Patrick volunteer to make the perilous journey to Shell City to retrieve the crown and save Mr. Krabs' life. Play as SpongeBob or Patrick as they interact with characters from the movie, earn "manliness" points to gain power-ups, and explore vast environments in the "Patty Wagon."

Game works fine but requires patch else it will hang right before going in-game. You can also enable automatic gamefixes as the patch has already been added to the database. Hangs at menus without the patch. Some stages may be bit slow. | |

BIOS: Europe 2.20, Game works fine as long as Automatic Gamefixes are enabled. Lacks a widescreen patch unfortunately, but that's because nobody ever bothered to make one due to the game never working properly before. Therefore it is recommended to play it in 4:3 format until a widescreen patch is made available. In terms of performance, the game runs great. FPS remains stable at 50 even while a lot of stuff is going on in the screen. | Ryudo |

v1.7.5584 | Default | Default | Runs ostensibly flawlessly (extremely minor graphical issue in first level resolved with High blending). Would need further testing for a 'Perfect' status, but I've found nothing that would make it imperfect currently. | TheTechnician27 |
