Levels

  • Bikini Bottom - This is the hub world. Here, you can access all the other levels. SpongeBob can complete minor tasks, such as annoying Squidward, clearing Sandy's Treedome, and clearing the Krusty Krab. The robots also stole Patrick's socks (all of which are scattered throughout the other levels), and SpongeBob can get a golden spatula for every 10 he returns to Patrick in the hub world. The Krusty Krab has also been "abandoned," and Mr. Krabs needs shiny objects to restore the restaurant. He's agreed to give you golden spatulas, but only if you can find enough shiny objects. The price increases every time.
  • Jellyfish Fields - The first single level. Squidward has been attacked by robots and jellyfish, and SpongeBob needs to go to the top of Spork Mountain to find a jar of "King Jellyfish" jelly for him to use as a coolant for his wounds. The trouble is, the King Jellyfish has to be defeated before you can get the jelly. SpongeBob also needs to save Patrick, who traverses a cave, and get a spatula back for Mrs. Puff, etc. (Unlike most other levels, you do not need any golden spatulas to enter.)
  • Downtown Bikini Bottom - Robots are wreaking havoc here, and SpongeBob needs to defeat them. He also needs to find steering wheels, smash some tikis at the Sea Needle, find an antenna for Larry (as Sandy), and other tasks. You need 5 golden spatulas to enter.
  • Goo Lagoon - A robot has stolen all the sunscreen, and the only way SpongeBob can get it back is to reflect the heat onto the robot to get revenge. While going to the last reflecting tower, SpongeBob has to do other tasks like going through a cave, helping Mr Krabs in a carnival, etc. You need 10 golden spatulas to enter.
  • Poseidome - The first boss level, this level features King Neptune. Robo-Sandy has taken over the poseidome, and SpongeBob needs to defeat it to help King Neptune regain control of it. You need 15 golden spatulas to enter this level.
  • Rock Bottom - Mrs. Puff says that robots have ransacked the Rock Bottom Museum, and SpongeBob must clear it and find the few missing artwork in the process while traversing Rock Bottom. You need 25 golden spatulas to enter this level.
  • Mermalair - SpongeBob must clear the Mermalair, shut down the security system, and other things before ending up defeating Prawn before Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy return from their doctor's appointments. Unlike most of the other levels in the game, you do not need Golden Spatulas to enter this level.
  • Sand Mountain - It's time for Texas-style snowboarding! Sandy and SpongeBob must clear all three slides of Sand Mountain, and SpongeBob will also receive a spatula from Plankton if he can bungee jump into a deep pit. You need 30 golden spatulas to enter this level.
  • Industrial Park - The second boss level. Squidward has been attacked by Robo-Patrick, and SpongeBob must defeat him before he goes on a rampage. You need 40 golden spatulas to enter this level.
  • Kelp Forest - Eerie large kelp forests have always been a hiding place for spooky secrets, but now, robots are threatening visitors and the environment! It's up to SpongeBob to clear the forest, find Mrs. Puff's campers, find Barnacle Boy's energy crystals, and slide down a kelp vine for Mermaid Man. you need 50 golden spatulas to enter this level
  • Flying Dutchman's Graveyard - The Flying Dutchman can't scare the souls out of anyone because robots have taken over his ship and are using it to battle each other. SpongeBob needs to get it back for a Golden Spatula. The Dutchman has promised to give it, but he might change his mind. You need 60 Golden Spatulas to enter this level.
  • SpongeBob's Dream - Since SpongeBob is asleep, he gets to enter his and his friend's dreams. He needs to travel through everyone's dreams and earn golden spatulas from each dream. Unlike most other levels in the game, you do not need Golden Spatulas to enter this level.
  • Chum Bucket Lab - This is the final and most secret of the levels. Here, Plankton's scheme is revealed, and SpongeBob must finish his mission. But first he must battle a robot manifestation of himself and Plankton. He also needs to enter the robot's head and blow some fuses to jam the electrical system and defeat the robot, but Plankton's robot may be harder to defeat. You need 75 golden spatulas to enter.

Robots

  • Fodder - The most common robot found throughout the game and the easiest to defeat. These robots will come after you and attack with their electric wands. They are worth 5 pts.
  • Ham-mer - A robot taking the pun of the word "hammer" literally. These robots attack you with a vicious slam attack. They can be often notorious for also knocking players off the edge into the abyss. They are worth 25 pts.
  • Tar-Tar - A robot that attacks by blasting you with three shots of hot tartar sauce. These robots take a little more effort to defeat with normal attacks but an explosion or strong attack such as the Bubble Bowl can take them out in one blow. Patrick can't pick up Tar-tars. Worth 30 pts.
  • Chomp-Bot - A robot that will charge after you and try to bite you with their metallic jaws. They are also equipped with toxic gas which they can breath out for extra measure. They are worth 10 pts.
  • G-Love - A robot that spins like a frisbee and tries to hit you. Normal attacks are rendered useless while its spinning so only air-based and the bubble bounce attack can defeat them. Worth 40 pts.
  • Chuck - These are probably the most dangerous robots in the game. They will attack you by throwing a water missile and their aim is very accurate. Getting around them can be tricky, especially when crossing gaps as you must get them to throw the missile out of your path. Patrick can't stun them. Worth 50 pts.
  • Monsoon - A robot that hovers around and attacks by creating storm clouds that can zap lightning on you. Only air-based attacks can reach them as they hover high above the ground. They are most common in Goo Lagoon but are rarely seen in later levels. Pat can't stun them. Worth 60 pts.
  • Bomb-Bot - A small robot that when it spots you, it will begin to beep and follow you until it self-destructs, damaging you with its blast wave. They can be easily defeated however before they can self-destruct. If one does explode, you will not receive Shiny Objects from the robot. If you do destroy it then you get 10 pts.
  • Sleepytime - A sleeping robot that wakes up when you get near and blasts lasers at you until you get out of his sleeping radius. Only SpongeBob is quiet enough to sneak near them undetected so if you are playing as Patrick or Sandy, you need to defeat them with distant attacks. The Bubble Bowl is also useless against them because they can deflect the attack away. Pat can't stun them. Worth 70 pts.
  • Arf - A cowboy robot that spawns Arf-dawgs from its doghouse. These robots take a lot more effort to defeat and attack you with its doghouse whenever you approach it directly. A unique way of defeating them is to knock the Arf-dawgs into them but they can also be defeated in one blow with a strong attack such as the Cruise Bubble. Worth 80 pts.
  • Arf-Dawg - A dog-like robot spawned from an Arf dog house. These robots seek you out and explode after a few seconds after spawning. You don't receive Shiny Objects from these robots but you can use them to attack the Arf. Worth nothing.
  • Bzzt-Bot - A robot that will continuously zap you with a gamma-ray laser until you either defeat it or back away. They can be responsible for draining your health very quickly and leaving you vulnerable to other robots. They can hover over anything. If you wait about thirty seconds they'll shoot spiral fireworks and spin around. The fireworks don't hurt. They are worth 20 points.
  • Tubelet - A type of robot that are always found in groups of three and attack with a flame jet from their tubes. All three must be defeated because they can respawn if left idle for a while and counterattack with a blast wave. They are worth 90 points.
  • Slick - A robot that attacks by shooting globs of oil at you. The blobs will affect your traction on the surface if you get hit and even if the glob hits the ground, it will leave behind a puddle of oil that must be avoided. These robots are protected by a shield that must be taken out with distant attacks but the shield can respawn after a few seconds. A powerful attack such as the Cruise Bubble are most effective for defeating them. They are worth 100 points.
  • Duplicatotron 1000 - They serve as robot spawners and will continue spawning robots in the area until they are destroyed. Be careful though, the Duplicatotrons meet an explosive end so back out once you have dealt with them. Worth 50 pts.

Bosses

King Jellyfish from I'm Your Biggest Fanatic is the first non-robot boss in the game.he seems to be able to shoot a powerful shockwave and it seems that, despite being male, he's the one who lays the rest of the jellyfish. You hit him after he does his shock wave attack.

Robo-Sandy is the first robot boss in the game. Her main attacks include a karate chop, a large jump (which for some reason stuns itself), and a clothesline move (this is when it runs to the edge and springs itself across the arena with its hands and feet against the edge and attached to it by springs - the move can be avoided by jumping over or through the springs). You Bubble Bounce, throw her head at a broken scoreboard, and Bubble Bash her head to defeat her.

Prawn is a blue evil shrimp and the second non-robot boss in the game. He also is shown to be armed with a specially designed French horn, and is Mermaid Man's archenemy because he turned all his socks pink.You have to Bubble Bowl him when the floor is silver and while avoiding the robots.

Robo-Patrick is the second robot boss in the game. His main attacks include spitting moves, freeze breath, ice cream slams, and a spinning move that releases industrial waste around it and leaves the robot vulnerable by making him dizzy.

The Flying Dutchman needs SpongeBob's help to get the robots off his ship so Sandy can fight him. He is the third and final non-robot boss in the game. He is the only boss who SpongeBob does not fight at all, only Sandy can fight him.

Robo-SpongeBob is the third robot boss in the game. His main attacks include a large arm swing that freezes him, karate slams (that flip the platform you're on), and a three part sweeping attack in which it shouts "KAH-RAH-TAE!" and the sound waves will knock you unconscious. According to Robo-Plankton, they were supposed to be married.

Robo- Plankton is the final robot (and overall) boss of the game. His main attack is a sonic blast. According to himself, the robots have always been obeying Plankton through the entire game and that he and Robo-SpongeBob were to marry, hinting that Robo-Plankton is homosexual.

In the movie theater, you can see that a Robo-Squidward was originally planned to be in the game, possibly as a secret boss. This was scrapped before the game's release. But in the Game Boy Advance version, a Robo Squidward is present, and his attacks include slamming tentacles down onto the ground and blowing out musical notes that will stun anyone who gets hit. Robo-Squidward could possibly be located in his dream.

Reception

The game received generally positive reviews and won numerous awards like the Kids Choice Award for Favorite Video Game. Official PlayStation Magazine gave the game 4.5 out of 5. The game sold well enough to claim Greatest Hits on PS2, Player's Choice on GameCube and Platinum Hits on Xbox. And despite it’s relative obscurity nowadays, BFBB and the SpongeBob Movie Game have amassed a decently sized cult following over the years.

Trivia

  • Many fans have claimed BFBB is the best SpongeBob video game ever made, and most tend to consider the SpongeBob Movie Game it's spiritual sequel, as the two share the same core gameplay mechanics.
  • The robots from this game make a cameo in the Movie Game as garbage, meaning that SpongeBob, Patrick and Sandy succeeded in defeating them all. This further drives in the idea that the Movie Game is the sequel to BFBB.
  • Mr. Krabs and Mermaid Man are the only two characters not voiced by their original actors, Clancy Brown and Ernest Borgnine, and are instead both voiced by Joe Whyte. He will now play Mermaid Man in the show, after Ernest Borgnine's death.
  • Many gameplay aspects, primarily the act of collecting things to progress and sliding sections, were obviously inspired by the likes of wikipedia:Super Mario 64 Super Mario 64 and Banjo-Kazooie.
  • This game introduces a brand new villain to Mermaid Man & Barnacle Boy, Prawn, who they consider to be their "arch nemesis" and "worse than Man Ray, the Atomic Flounder, and the Dirty Bubble". He has never been seen in any episode to date. This is surprising considering the game made was very early on in the series and he has still never been brought back up. But this could be because he resembles Plankton in a lot of ways. Also, he has been contradicted by Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy restating in future episodes that the Dirty Bubble is their #1 arch nemesis.
  • When SpongeBob enters the Krusty Krab, if you look out the front window, Mr. Krabs (who was standing right outside the KK) is nowhere to be seen. Additionally, a mime (who is absent if you are outside) can be seen pressing itself against said window. The same is seen at Sandy's Tree Dome, with Patrick and Sandy visible inside, while not present outside the domain.
  • In Sandy's dream, all the platforms you can stand on, except the giant acorn, are shaped like Texas.
  • In the PC version of this game, when one of the robots throws a crumpled up piece of paper at Plankton, Plankton says, "You *dolphin chirp* robots!"
  • In Sandy's dream, if you talk to Larry the Lobster after you complete the slide he asks you to come and work out with him in his dream bubble, this indicates that Larry may have a crush on Sandy.
  • In Goo Lagoon, there is a hidden Atari 2600 controller made of sand that can be found near the giant sand castle.

Episode References

This game makes a lot of references to its show:

  • In the episode Neptune's Spatula, there is a golden spatula in a museum exhibit, which SpongeBob pulls out with ease. In the game, there many golden spatulas in levels, which SpongeBob and friends earn by completing certain tasks. The golden spatulas serve as keys to unlock levels depending how many spatulas the player needs. Plus, the stadium where King Neptune and SpongeBob had a cook-off is also where SpongeBob and Patrick fight Robo-Sandy.
  • In the episode Plankton!, Plankton offers SpongeBob a golden spatula.
  • At the Poseidome, when Robo-Sandy appeared, Patrick said "It's a Giraffe."(Bubblestand).
  • In the Treedome section of the game, the player can clearly see that SpongeBob is dehydrated due to him being a sea creature. This also happened in Tea at the Treedome and Squirrel Jokes.
  • The level 'The Mermalair,' is based on the episode Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy III. The mini-boss battle is also a reference to the episode, in which Prawn was released and imprisoned in a similar experience that Man Ray was.
  • In the episode Pre-Hibernation Week, SpongeBob and Sandy go to the industrial park, in which SpongeBob melted after taking the course. In the game, the industrial park is where SpongeBob and Sandy go to fight Robo-Patrick.
  • In the episode Club SpongeBob, SpongeBob, Patrick, and Squidward were stranded in a kelp forest. In the game, the same kelp forest serves as a level, but the field wasn't completely covered in kelp. Instead there are open spaces in the level where the player can explore.
  • In the episode Sleepy Time, SpongeBob traverses around the dream realm to visit some of his friends' dreams. The level 'SpongeBob's Dream' is based on the episode, in which SpongeBob has to enter his friends' dreams in order to get Golden Spatulas and to reach Patrick's Dream.
  • On the design of SpongeBot SteelPants, SpongeBot SteelPants has rocket jets for legs. It's similar to when SpongeBob blasts off in the water when he was picked hall monitor in the episode Hall Monitor. Plus, the first form of Robo-SpongeBob is simular to when SpongeBob puts on his karate gear in various episodes like Karate Choppers, or No Weenies Allowed.
  • When SpongeBot SteelPants is defeated for the first time, Robo-Plankton will repair him into a form similar to when SpongeBob got Anchor Arms in MuscleBob BuffPants. Also, during the Goo Lagoon scene, the Juice Bar from the same episode is seen.
  • As SpongeBot SteelPants grows due to Robo-Plankton's repairs, Patrick thinks that he's shrinking. This is a reference to the episodes Suds and Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy IV.
  • If SpongeBob approaches the vending machine in the first parts of the level, a bus will arrive and then leave again. This is based on SpongeBob's failed attempts to get on the bus in Rock Bottom.
  • Upon entering the Rock Bottom Museum, the player can see that the paintings are actually episode frames from various SpongeBob episodes.
  • If the player falls into a pit or goes to a restricted area long enough, Hans will come out and will take the player out of the danger. Similarly, in the episode Suds, when SpongeBob (and Patrick) are about to get their treatments, Hans comes out and takes them to their treatments.
  • Bubble Buddy appears in the game, a reference to the episode Bubble Buddy.
  • When SpongeBob encounters Bubble Buddy for the first time, Bubble Buddy says to try to "defeating the giant monkey men and saving the 9th dimension." This line is a recycled line from Big Pink Loser.
  • When you defeat the robots in the Rock Bottom Museum, Bubble Buddy said "I think it's time for a victory screech!" Then, he and SpongeBob does one. This is a reference to The Algae's Always Greener and Club SpongeBob.
  • When you return 10 socks to Patrick, he says "Here's your golden backscratcher.", to which SpongeBob replies "Spatula." and Patrick says "I don't speak Italian." This line was used in Wormy.
  • When the player goes down a slope while playing as SpongeBob, SpongeBob will go down the slope on his tongue, and Sandy goes down on a clam, just like in the Sand Mountain scene in Pre-Hibernation Week.
  • SpongeBob also crashed into a sandman in the episode, just like how you have to crash into 8 sandman along the slope to get one of Patrick's socks.
  • In the episode Hooky, SpongeBob gets his pants caught on a fishing hook. In some points of the game, SpongeBob can bungee-jump on the fishing hooks (with his pants caught on them, of course).
  • In the episode Ripped Pants, a woman forgot to put on sunscreen. In the Goo Lagoon scene, the robots stole people's sunscreen.
  • The police station from the episode Life of Crime is seen.
  • One of SpongeBob's moves, the Bubble Bowl, is named after the stadium with the same name from Band Geeks.
  • In a few points in the game, a mime fish can be seen. This is a reference to the episode The Sponge Who Could Fly, where SpongeBob saves Patrick from a mime fish.
  • King Jellyfish from I'm Your Biggest Fanatic is a boss in the game.
  • At the end of the Sand Mountain level, Patrick says "I want the warm now!". This is similar to when he said it on the episode Survival of the Idiots.
  • In SpongeBob's Pineapple, you will see the same picture SpongeBob looks at when Squidward comes back from the hospital in Jellyfishing.
  • Inside Patrick's rock a picture of SpongeBob and Patrick together is seen hanging on the wall, it also appears on the information for the level Rock Bottom to show the player how much artwork the player has collected. This picture was seen when SpongeBob snuck into Patrick's house at night in The Secret Box.
  • When SpongeBob is reading the note on the typewriter, from Mr. Krabs, in his house, you hear SpongeBob say "And it even smells sweaty, just like him!", this is a reference to when SpongeBob says "Boy Mr. Krabs, you sure are sweaty" in the episode, Arrgh!
  • At the part when Robo-Patrick appeared, he was slamming Squidward with the ice cream. Squidward was almost out but then the robot stopped Squidward by freezing him.
  • In the PC version when Plankton says You *dolphin chirp* robots. it reference to the episode Sailor Mouth.

Glitches

  • Sound Glitch: This glitch is randomly triggered. Sometimes when you go into the pause menu, you hear a bunch of random sounds from the game. The same goes to the "Victory" theme and when you collect Shiny Objects. Visiting the Spongeball Arena after completing the game will activate this glitch, but you may need to visit the area multiple times and you need to make sure you use the "Press R to Go to Bikini Bottom" exit and not the "Press B to Exit" exit. To undo the glitch, save and quit the game, shut the system off and then restart the system and return to your game.
  • Music Glitch In Sand Mountain: At the beginning of the Guppy Mound slide, the "Downtown Bikini Bottom" theme will play instead of the "Slide" theme. (Only for a short while.) Also in Flounder Hill and Sand Mountain slides, the "Slide' theme will continue to play even when you reached the bottom.
  • Goo Lagoon Slide Music Glitch: At the carnival in Goo Lagoon, a little bit before the slide, if you jump on some tents on the right hand sign of it, and then jump off at the right part of the last tent to get to the slide, the music that usually plays when you go down the slide won't play and you will just hear the regular Goo Lagoon theme.
  • Tubelet Easter Egg: If you set your console to a certain date, the Tubelet robot will spit out a different colored flame than its original color. The holidays are:
    • January 1 - New Year's Day (Rainbow colored flames)
    • March 17 - St. Patrick's Day (Green colored flames)
    • April 1 - April Fools' Day (Pink colored flames)
    • July 4 - Independence Day (Red, white, & blue colored flames)
    • October 31 - Halloween (Yellow-orange colored flames)
  • Invisible/Tan SpongeBob: A glitch in the Squidward's dream level, where if SpongeBob used the bubble cruise power while standing on an orange note, he will turn invisible when he falls, and Hans will pick up an invisible SpongeBob. When he brings him back to the start, SpongeBob's entire body turns tan. To deactivate the glitch, fire another Cruise Bubble and as long as SpongeBob is not on a falling surface, he will return to normal when the Cruise Bubble pops.
  • Seeing inside people's bodies: If you get in front of anybody who can stay in their place, you can revolve the camera 180 degrees, (console version only) press any button that zooms in, and control the camera down and you can see inside of them.
  • Out of boundaries in Jellyfish Fields: At Jellyfish Caves, go near the first bus stop in the game, and you will see a Floating Tiki nearby. Jump on the sign right next to the bus stop and double jump off of it to get to the tiki. Double-jump off the tiki, then use your Spin Attack twice to jump even farther, and then land in the plain desert. (You can also do this glitch with Patrick, but its easier with Spongebob). You'll see that you are out of the basis map. Then, when you reach the point of the map, you'll see a dimensional edge that if you jump off, you will unwittingly fall for a very long time. Eventually Hans will find you and take you safely back up to the cave entrance.
  • Dimensional Hub: Go down the slide at Spork Mountain in Jellyfish Fields. Jump off the correct point of the slide, and make sure you land on a path. You'll be able to walk down that path and eventually see a dimensional version of SpongeBob's, Patrick's, and Squidward's houses. When you go inside them, part of them disappear. This is because the hub is currently not in the map. You'll be able to explore the area for a bit, but Hans might eventually find you.
  • Spinning in the Sky: On rare occasions, in the Flying Dutchman's Graveyard, when you see Chuck for the first time, and stand on the moving platform when he hits you, he could knock you into the goo, like always. But sometimes, you'll travel through the goo and into an upside-down sky. You can't move around, but you can make the sky move with your control stick.
  • The Glitched Tiki: In the Flying Dutchman's Graveyard, there is a glitched wooden tiki that, if you destroy the five other tiki's it is in a group with, using the bubble bowl power from the right distance, you will be able to walk through it and it will become "invincible" so you can't destroy it. It will stay in one position, and it won't chatter it's teeth or stare at you the way it should. In Jellyfish Fields, there is a glitched Stone Tiki that will not break (this is very rare, though).
  • Kelp Vines Glitch: If the only visible checkpoint on the kelp vines halfway through the slide is activated, and SpongeBob falls, as soon as Hans lets go of him back at the checkpoint but before SpongeBob regains movement, SpongeBob can perform a Bubble Bowl that will launch him into the middle of the Kelp Forest without Hans detecting him. (Do not double jump while being launched, this will double the distance and you will be too far to walk back to anything.) SpongeBob may now turn around and actually walk underneath the Kelp Vines. Interestingly, there is a lone Thunder Tiki and Stone Tiki along the way.
  • Out of Boundaries Glitch: If you go by Jellyfish Fields' Taxi in Bikini Bottom, and go in the out-of-bounds sand while taking the taxi, Hans will take you to Jellyfish Fields after the second time of doing this. Go back to Bikini Bottom and you will be able to go anywhere out of bounds. This glitch only prevents you from falling out of bounds, though the sand still affects you with it activated. To make you invincible with the sand too, you have to jump in the waterfall lake near the beginning of the level, with the spatula in it (with autosave activated). You will be able to go everywhere, and the save icon will be still on the bottom of the screen. NOTE: If you get caught by Hans after doing this glitch this glitch is deactivated.
