Tongue surfing, bubble bowling, and robots galore make for a satisfactory, if not charming, licensed game. Right age, right time for me. # Acquisition It was a gift, likely that Christmas or my following birthday. I'm not sure which though. # Memories I remember seeing commercials all the time for the game on Nickelodeon at my aunt and uncle's house in Florida. This was also the first time a kid wiped my save data. I learned a valuable lesson that day. Don't let younger kids mess with saves. And back everything up. I have fond memories of this game and its environments. It's a bog standard mascot platformer, but it has a certain charm to it that spoke deeply to 9-year-old Max. %% ```base views: - type: table name: Related Posts filters: and: - file.links.contains(this.file) - file.inFolder("Published") order: - file.name - Published sort: - property: Published direction: ASC columnSize: file.name: 513 ``` %% # Miscellaneous - [Spongebob Squarepants Battle For Bikini Bottom Commercial (2003)](https://youtu.be/GDTvVloO_c0?si=3e9iGOBRGGD7iYLN) - Fairly sure this is the ad I remember seeing on TV.
