SpongeBob: Patty Pursuit (also known as SpongeBob SquarePants: Patty Pursuit) is an arcade-style SpongeBob SquarePants mobile app video game that was released for the Apple Arcade sometime in 2020 globally.

Plot[]

Trouble has come to Bikini Bottom! The evil "mastermind" Sheldon J. Plankton has once again hatched a plan to steal the secret Krabby Patty formula. This time he has enlisted his army of cousins to capture all of SpongeBob's friends! Play as SpongeBob on his epic, most side-scrolly quest through Bikini Bottom ever! Explore, collect coins and spatulas, and crush obstacles as SpongeBob races to rescue his friends, defeat Plankton's minions and take back the formula. Keep an eye out for your favorite Bikini Bottom residents...you never know who you might run into!


Gameplay[]

The gameplay for SpongeBob: Patty Pursuit is very similar to that of Rayman Adventures and Rayman Mini with the Mechanics based on Super Mario Run, Run Sackboy! Run!, and the Bit.Trip video games. The game itself features rather basic controls, but is challenging enough that older kids are able to enjoy it as well. All of the show's major characters appear, and the game, like the show, sends a positive message buried in the slapstick comedy -- in this case, the value of loyalty to one's friends. The core game mechanics are easy to grasp, though the controls are not pitch perfect.


Trivia[]

General[]

  • In the final boss level, the player has to defeat Karen. This is the first time she plays as the final boss of a game.
