SpongeBob can jump, double jump and hang on to ledges. The left thumbstick controls movement while the right thumbstick controls the camera. Once you're off and running, you'll notice the game uses the usual platform staples. Then again, the star of the film is a buck-toothed, sentient sponge, so who cares? You start the game in the middle of one of SpongeBob's dreams, where he's been summoned to resolve a dire situation at Krusty Krab: a slice of cheese is missing from a fish's order. Plankton then plans to enslave the populace of Bikini Bottom by using mind-controlling bucket-hats and steal Mr. Krabs (SpongeBob's boss and manager of the Krusty Krab restaurant) by stealing Netpune's crown and pointing the finger at him. Plankton's latest scheme, which he calls Plan Z, sees him framing Mr.
For those not up on their SpongeBob trivia, Plankton is the three-inch tall evil-genius always looking for a way to enslave the globe.
The plot revolves around the dim-witted duo (SpongeBob and Patrick) as they try to thwart the maniacal Plankton from ruling the world. The game follows the movie very closely (enough to have THQ warn us on spoiling the ending), so expect to see all the characters and locations from flick.

And yes, you collect things and jump over spikes and lava. The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie, based closely on the theatrical release of the same name, is such a non-sucky title. Occasionally, game developers craft a game based on some insanely popular license and it doesn't suck. It's a sad fact gamers have come to realize by enduring hours of platform mediocrity, poor game mechanics and shoddy attempts at humor. Only problem being, that videogames based on popular cartoons usually suck.
