SpongeBob SquarePants: Plankton's Robotic Revenge is an action-adventure video game based on the hit television series, SpongeBob SquarePants. The game was developed by Behaviour Interactive, and published by Activision, whom took over the license from previous SpongeBob SquarePants video game publisher THQ after the company's closure.

Problems

Opening Logos and Pre-rendered Cutscenes Crash

During the opening logos, the game crashes most of the time, while the pre-rendered cutscenes crash sometimes. This can partly be worked around by underclocking the CPU under Config \ Advanced \ Enable Emulated CPU Clock Override to 74%. This lowers the chance of a crash happening during the logos, however not entirely.

Pre-rendered FMVs Glitches

The pre-rendered FMVs appear glitched if the backend is set to OpenGL or Vulkan.

Incorrect emulation (OpenGL, Vulkan)

Correct emulation (Direct3D 11/12, software renderer)
