In an effort to cause the kind of global mayhem he has always dreamed of, the evil Plankton has set in motion his most diabolical plot ever to take over the world in SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom . The fate of Bikini Bottom has been put in the hands (or small tentacles) of three unsuspecting heroes. Put your platform skills to the test as SpongeBob, Patrick, or Sandy Cheeks, with an array of insane new maneuvers and power-ups at your disposal. Explore a huge 3D world, encounter familiar friends, and finally put an end to Plankton's evil scheme.

Problems

Blue Box

The blue outline of a box appears over the upper left corner of the screen.

Template:SMissing Floors / Transparent ObjectsTemplate:/s

With Windows Dolphin versions after 4.0-7528 at the beginning of the Robo-Patrick boss battle (Industrial Park), SpongeBob will fall through the ground, into the acid and die. The mesh platform that should be there is not. Many objects throughout the game also become partially see-through. Refer issue 8963.

Enhancements

Red Triangles Fix

Translucent red flat planes appear on the ground in many areas. This minor graphical glitch doesn't affect game play. This effect may be mitigated by playing with anti-aliasing on D3D11, or solved entirely by playing at 1x Internal Resolution with no AA.

The following Action Replay code can be used with the NTSC version of the game to disable the red shapes, regardless of settings, but will also disable most character shadows and some other 2D graphical elements:

3.0-235 Mac OS X 10.7.3 Intel Core i5 @ 2.7GHz AMD Radeon HD 6770M Graphical errors render the game virtually unplayable. That is, if you're lucky enough to even get the game past the main menu. Swiftwinter

3.0-692 Windows 7 AMD Phenom II X4 810 ATI Radeon HD 4600 Works fine, but a lot of lag spikes. Cutscene audio is out of sync, maybe because of the FPS issues that I'm getting. Goldtex
3.5-1344 Windows 7 AMD Phemon II X4 955 @ 3.2GHz AMD Radeon HD 6850 Menus run normally and at full speed. Upon entering game, constant rhythmic lag spikes. Otherwise running fine. WinCamXP
