It\u2019s got multiple characters with different abilities, big boss battles, endless collectibles, entertaining mini-games, and all sorts of secrets to uncover. SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom Rehydrated has all of that too, only brighter and prettier. It makes me so happy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Heavy times call for lighthearted games. While a lot of us appreciate the appeal of games that tackle weighty issues and challenge players\u2019 notions of morality, those aren\u2019t the games most need right now. Most people need a platforming game where they control a shining beacon of blissful ignorance, set in a colourful world that\u2019s about as far removed from real life as possible. SpongeBob and Bikini Bottom are what most need right now. We\u2019ve been counting on Battle for Bikini Bottom Rehydrated, a remake of the 2003 original out tomorrow for the PlayStation 4, PC, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch, to cheer most of you up since it was announced. It gets the job done.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom &#8211; Rehydrated is rarely amusing or challenging, and completing it is an entirely dry experience.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#39;s our review: <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/GoA2pVdaMx\">https:\/\/t.co\/GoA2pVdaMx<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/RGI8jt1lZe\">pic.twitter.com\/RGI8jt1lZe<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; GameSpot (@GameSpot) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/GameSpot\/status\/1275398270001524736?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">June 23, 2020<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rehydrated is the original SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom with a gorgeous graphical upgrade and a remastered soundtrack. There\u2019s a new multiplayer horde mode for up to two players. It also features content cut from the original game, like an evil robot Squidward and an extra phase in the giant robot SpongeBob boss battle.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Most areas allow players to swap between one of two characters, depending on the skills needed to overcome the level\u2019s obstacles. SpongeBob can turn into a ball, bowl with bubbles, launch guided bubble missiles, and wall jump. Patrick has the unique ability to pick up and throw objects and stunned enemies. Most favourite character, Sandy the squirrel, can decimate foes with her lasso, as well as use it to hover and jump from special Texas-shaped skyhook devices. They are Bikini Bottom\u2019s dream team, for better or worse.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><center><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/VmO-qxKT0fk\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/center><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\nEverything about this game would make you smile. The cheerful music, the colourful landscapes, the bouncing, the underwear-as-health-indicator mechanic. Even the silly, sometimes repetitive quips, a hallmark of \u201890s era 3D platforming games, warm my heart. Make sure to play the game\u2019s new competitive multiplayer mode, but we suspect it will have a similar effect.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom Rehydrated is an excellent remake of the cult classic. It evokes the same giddy feelings as the original, while looking better than any game based on a Nickelodeon cartoon has any right to.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One
