Dirty Bubble Busters

Template:Italic title Template:RP2 Template:Online game It was released in 2008.

Gameplay

The player plays as Template:Data:Links and Template:Data:Links trying to clean up Bikini Bottom and get rid of the Dirty Bubbles. The player use the character's reef blowers to suck in dirty bubbles and trash. The dirty bubbles may also be on the heads of the Bikini Bottomites, who will throw trash at SpongeBob and Patrick until the player sucks the bubbles off their heads. The dirty bubbles will also stick to SpongeBob and Patrick's heads if they get close enough.

The player must also avoid falling into pits and walking into or sucking in jellyfish, which will sting SpongeBob and Patrick, making them temporarily uncontrollable. If SpongeBob or Patrick have a dirty bubble on their head, get hit by garbage, or fall into a pit, they become unusable (unless they have a dirty bubble on their head and the player sucks it into the vacuum), in which case the other character takes over. If both of them become unusable, the player loses a life. The game ends when the player loses all of their lives or when they beat the Dirty Bubble himself.
