Surprisingly fun, thorough, and entertaining set of minigames set to a story mode with a banger hook, a story strong enough to be its own Spongebob episode or even a two-parter or TV special. There's something really validating about winning a set of minigames and then you get to see your character of choice star in a scene from the fake movie the entire game's plot revolves around. Some of the co-op stuff on here particularly rocks, so this is definitely something you play with a group of friends and not "a friend and two bots". There are a few problems here and there - this game is fairly ugly, as many tie-in products from the licensed game era of sixth-generation gaming were, minigames can go on for too long, and the bots are utterly insipid, braindead little goofy ass cretins that can't do shit on their own, hence why this game kinda needs to be 4 Players only because there's no chance of a bot randomly carrying the team or doing something hilariously epic like there is in Mario Party. Still, for a cashgrab party game, this is some quality shit. Some of the minigames from this hidden party gem live rent-free in my damn brain, like the crazyass paintball-on-unicycles minigame, or the Squilliam rock band minigame, or anything at the Krusty Krab (excellent opener set of minigames) or the weirdly intense and atmospheric Chum Bucket levels. Also the prison break minigame is fucking based. Really good party game, tbh. 3.5 / 5.
