SpongeBob SquarePants: The Yellow Avenger is a SpongeBob SquarePants video game which was released in 2005 and only available for the Nintendo DS and PlayStation Portable.
Plot
SpongeBob acquires Mermaid Man's powers when he wears his belt. Unfortunately, SpongeBob puts the Dirty Bubble into a washing machine, which causes him to split into countless dirty bubbles! SpongeBob has to stop villains such as Man Ray, The Sinister Slug, The Jumbo Shrimp, Atomic Flounder, The Dirty Bubble, and even Patrick and the Queen Jellyfish (who were both hypnotized by Man Ray), using Mermaid Man's powers to save Bikini Bottom. The story is divided into Acts, each with a different villain trying to wreak havoc on Bikini Bottom. Manray wants to flood Goo Lagoon, Sinister Slug's evil plan is to stop the talent show, Patrick rides the Queen Jellyfish like a chariot and rains electrical bolts down onto Bikini Bottom, Jumbo Shrimp, with the help of Plankton, creates a machine to shrink people the size of Plankton on top of the Sea Needle, The Atomic Flounder causes chaos in the Industrial park and The Dirty Bubble returns to put the end of the Yellow Avenger with the machine the Jumbo Shrimp used in the third act and plans to hit SpongeBob with more Little Dirty Bubbles.

Trivia
- This game is also known as SpongeBob Adventure 2: The Yellow Avenger.
- The DS version was given much better reception from reviewers than the PSP version.
- SpongeBob can go back to the Sea Needle, and explore there.
- In this game, SpongeBob shows how to make Jellyfish Jelly.
- After playing the game, you can get a character viewer.
- It is revealed in the game that the Sea Needle is the tallest building in Downtown Bikini Bottom.
- SpongeBob can explore the Industrial Park from "Pre-Hibernation Week," the Kelp Forest" from Club SpongeBob, and Rock Bottom from the episode with the same name.
- The name is similar to The Caped Avenger from the Garfield comic strip.
- The little Dirty Bubbles are red, and not the actual dirty brown color of the original Dirty Bubble.
- The acts are somewhat similar to the ones in the Sonic the Hedgehog game series.
- The game doesn't save after you beat it. This is so that the final boss battle can be played an infinite number of times. This also means that the percentage complete of a game file will always be at 99% and never higher.
- Although this is the first SpongeBob DS game, it's not the very first video DS game SpongeBob has been featured in. The first DS game SpongeBob was featured in was Nicktoons Unite!, which was released in October 2005.
- When SpongeBob is in his room, if one would look closely, one can see under Gary's bowl is the "Town Scared" newspaper from "Pranks a Lot."
- The PSP version was later re-released in the PSP Greatest Hits line in 2008. The same version was then re-released again in PAL countries as part of the PlayStation Essentials line.
Timeline
- This takes place after "Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy" because SpongeBob and Patrick know Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy.
- This takes place after "Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy III" because that is the episode in which Man Ray was released.
Errors
- The Reef Cinema is in town, but in the series it is has a path leading to the cinema, which separates it from the town. A similar error occurs in the game SpongeBob SquarePants featuring Nicktoons: Globs of Doom.
