    This game is interesting, it really has a lot of content jam packed into it, but the big problem is that the game is much too easy (for the most part). Some of the minigames are so easy that you don't even move a muscle, this is just hilarious on how easy this kind of minigame is, if you go to the Nanogame Replay and click one of these, you could leave it on the floor, have a nap, andThis game is interesting, it really has a lot of content jam packed into it, but the big problem is that the game is much too easy (for the most part).

One thing that was unfortunately left out from the WarioWare DIY game was the create your own minigame, which is missing here. Overall, 7.5/10… Expand

    SpongeBob's latest title for the Nintendo 3DS just doesn't work and I'm not saying this to insult the classic fans, it's true though. It's a tough life for a gamer to even own a title for it and not find any great game to get for their Nintendo 3DS.

    It was kind of fun for a little while...I say that because it only seems to last a little while. I beat it the day I got it. I didn't unlock everything, but it was over way too quickly. I thought it would be cool to have a SpongeBob themed WarioWare game on 3DS (since we never got a WarioWare game on 3DS), but it was very lacking.

    Just rolled credits on the "main story" of the game in 1 hour Lol
    I’m a spongebob fan so i don’t mind it and its just for fun anyway! Hopefully I can play other modes to extend playtime and do 100%!

    I picked up this game thinking it would be yet another mediocre spongebob title, but no. The game experiments with many different art styles which is so cool to see in a game like this. They could easily have not bothered. The gameplay is so addicting and varied that anyone could pick up and play this game.

    It's clear that this is a WarioWare clone, but that's what I love so much about this game! Each world has a different art style with minigames to accompany the different art styles. I would give this a 9, but some of the microgames I found a bit difficult to get to work correctly, like the slingshot and the paper airplane microgames.

    Spongebob doesn't have the personality to pull it all together. [Oct 2011, p.71]

    Spongebob is a title very fun to play thanks to a flawless technical execution. The only limitation of the game lies in its low level of challenge that makes it a title mostly for children.

    That being said, the game is well worth playing, for both kids and adults, as the nanogames are well done, Patchy the Pirate is hilarious and the art style is fantastic. If the game had more nanogames and a more compelling 3D implementation it'd be a different story, but as it is, it's tough to recommend for the price.
