SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom

There was originally going to be a Squidward robot battle. Although this never happened, there is concept art that you can unlock and one of the pieces depicts what the battle would've been like. The robot Squidward would've had big tentacles that would attack you and you'd have to press switches which would drop rocks on top of them. The robot battle did however get ported on the Game Boy Advanced version of the game. The rehydrated version of the game does feature the Squidward robot battle.

If you press the cruise bubble and bubble bowl buttons on the same frame whilst walking against a flat wall, Spongebob will enter into a state where he slowly moves forward even if you aren't tilting the control stick at all. If you go against a flat surface in this state, Spongebob will slowly drift either right or left. Slightly tilt the control stick in the opposite direction and press both buttons on the same frame again, and Spongebob will move forward much quicker. This is known in the Battle for Bikini Bottom speedrunning community as a "Cruise Boost".

The game opens with the theme song and with SpongeBob outside his pineapple before pressing the start button

The Xbox port has improved graphics.
