In SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom, Plankton creates robots all across Bikini Bottom to take Bikini Bottom over. SpongeBob must collect golden spatulas in levels like Bikini Bottom, Jellyfish Fields, Goo Lagoon, Sandy's Treedome, Rock Bottom, The Mermalair, Sand Mountain, The Industrial Park and Plankton's Lab to destroy robots and take plankton down. In Some levels SpongeBob may ride Mystery the Seahorse.

Game objectives

  • played on Bizhawk 2.8.0
  • SpongeBob must collect 3 spatulas in each level and reach a gate to advance to the next level. Once the player completes 6 levels in each chapter they fight a robot boss: Robot Sandy, Robot Patrick, Robot Squidward, The Duplicatron and Robot SpongeBob. the run ends once the player beats SpongeBot SteelPants and the credits play.

Comments

Several glitches are utilized to quickly complete Battle for Bikini Bottom. SpongeBob can glide faster than usual by letting go of the D-Pad, SpongeBob can go even faster if the glide is done off of a moving platform or after jumping off of Mystery after taking damage to activate an extremely fast glide. Mystery can also perform a double jump, allowing for backtracking and several sections to be skipped. if a double jump is done off of a robot, the boost from the robot will be stored allowing for an extremely high jump. By jumping off of mystery, the player can clip through thin ceilings, massively changing 2-5 (New Robotropolis). When riding mystery, SpongeBob can duplicate spatulas to skip 1 spatula in the level. If the spatula is on the ground a Dupe can easily be performed, if not SpongeBob must jump off mystery to duplicate the spatula.
