Video game

SpongeBob SquigglePants (known as SpongeBob SquigglePants 3D on the Nintendo 3DS port), known in Germany as SpongeBob Schwammkopf: Verflixt und Zugemalt, is an action video game based on the SpongeBob SquarePants series. It is the fourth game to be released in the uDraw Series. The gameplay is inspired by Nintendo's WarioWare series.

The video game was developed by WayForward Technologies and published by THQ. It contains nanogames and mini-games which require using the uDraw GameTablet on the Wii version. A version for the Nintendo 3DS was made later, which added a brand new level, IconBob, which requires the circle pad.

Gameplay[]

Wii version[]

Similar to WarioWare games, players get to play mini-games, dubbed Nanogames, in quick succession in order to proceed. Each nanogame has a short time limit of less than 10 or 5 seconds, depending on the nanogame, and players would have to rely on quick thinking and reflexes to finish each nanogame. The game requires the use of the now-discontinued uDraw GameTablet by THQ.

Nintendo 3DS version[]

The gameplay on the Nintendo 3DS version is almost identical to the Wii version, but instead of the uDraw Tablet (since the Nintendo 3DS isn't compatible with it), the touch screen is used. The IconBob levels (which are exclusive to this version) are done using the Nintendo 3DS Circle Pad.

How to play the Nanogames[]

  • Tap
  • Draw
  • Drag 1 (Circle way)
  • Drag 2 (Slide way)
  • Flick
  • Tilt
  • Shake
  • Tilt
  • Hold
  • Fire (Wii version only)

Nanogames[]

SketchBob (Mr. Krabs)[]

The art style in this stage is crudely drawn sketches, often with incomplete lines and coloring. When starting the stage, Mr. Krabs gestures to the Krusty Krab's doors. If a microgame is completed, customers enter the restaurant. If a microgame is lost, Mr. Krabs looks sad and no customers come in. If the stage is completed or a high score is obtained, Mr. Krabs jumps in the air as many customers enter. If the player runs out of lives, Mr. Krabs cries as the doors and windows to the Krusty Krab are boarded shut.

B-Movie (Squidward)[]

The art style in this stage resembles a horror movie, and is set in a theater showing a movie about Squidward and the hash-slinging slasher. When starting the stage, Squidward looks at the hash-slinging slasher with a scared expression. If a microgame is completed, Squidward runs farther. If a microgame is lost, the hash-slinging slasher gets closer to Squidward and smiles. If the stage is completed or a high score is obtained, the hash-slinging slasher collapses to reveal SpongeBob and Patrick in a costume. If the player runs out of lives, SpongeBob and Patrick, still in the hash-slinging slasher costume, approach Squidward with evil expressions.

RetroBob[]

The RetroBob mini-game has an art style that resembles animation from the 1950s. The player has to pop balloons while avoiding jellyfish.

Seasons of Sandy[]

The Seasons of Sandy mini-game has an art style that resembles a western style. The player has to karate chop as many logs as possible and avoid bombs.

Reception[]

The game has received "mixed or average reviews" on both platforms according to review aggregator Metacritic. There was a 59/100 on the Wii version[1] and a 64/100 on the Nintendo 3DS version.[2]

Christopher Healy of Common Sense Media rated it 4 out of 5. Healy warned parents about the cartoon violence in few of the mini-games, but praised the game for its ease of play and messages about art.[3] In a review for USA Today on April 25, 2011, Jinny Gudmundsen awarded the game three out of four stars and said that the game was worthwhile because of its novel gameplay.[4] In Atomic Gamer's review on May 10, 2011, it was awarded an overall score of 6 out of 10 and said that SpongeBob SquigglePants is a great game to showcase this device, especially with the huge number of ways it uses the tablet and even pokes fun at other, more "mature" video games now and then. It won't be terribly engaging for an adult, but this is a fantastic gift for a little SpongeBob fan."

In contrast, Cheat Code Central gave a score of 2.9 out of 5 and criticizing the game's repetitive music and average play value, stating "this mini-game doesn't work at all, most of the games in SpongeBob SquigglePants at least work, but the trouble is that the controls just aren't that intuitive."[5] Dave Rudden of GamePro gave the Nintendo 3DS version 3 stars, stating "THQ and Wayforward Technologies both deserve some credit for making a game that feels as close to a first-party effort as anything seen on the 3DS yet, as SpongeBob SquigglePants is the closest any game has ever come to matching the WarioWare formula. Unfortunately, the game's lack of new ideas, content, and worthwhile 3D effects sap any value out of this sponge."[6]
