SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom 2003

Is it still worth playing?

Heavy Iron Studios' 2003 3D platformer for the GameCube, PlayStation 2 and Xbox, in which Plankton's army of robots takes over Bikini Bottom and he asks SpongeBob to help retake the Chum Bucket. You collect Shiny Objects, which are the currency, Golden Spatulas, which unlock new areas, and Patrick's socks, ten of which give a spatula. You control SpongeBob, Patrick and Sandy and switch at Bus Stops, and each has unique abilities, such as Sandy's lasso and gliding and Patrick's throwable fruits. SpongeBob blows bubbles that form shapes serving as special moves and puzzle tools. Puzzles use trampolines, buttons and pressure pads. Three characters with different moves, and areas that the spatulas open, make a stage worth revisiting with a new ability today.
