#SPONGBOB DRAWN TO LIFE HOW TO#

In the cart minigames you get quick tutorials on how to control it, but you don't get any tutorials for the rocket minigames so you have to figure out the controls pretty quickly before losing a life - which by the way, correspond to the lives you have in the main game despite you being oneshotted when hit!Īnother thing I noticed is that a lot of the things you draw for specific levels never really come back. Some of the controls are a little funky when it comes to what does what (B is to jump, for example), which isn't a huge complaint but it took me a while to get used to. I don't know if it was just my device but I kept accidentally ground-pounding just from tipping the joystick on my 3DS at a slight wrong angle which totally screwed me over a few times. He also sells powerups and extra lives, which I relied on a bit more than I'd like to admit. Krabs after rescuing him in the first level, but I'm pretty sure you have to clear a sufficient amount of doodle gunk from each level to unlock it. Of course you can't expect a DS game from 2008 to have the widest variety of tools, but there's no time limit and a surprising amount of pallets to choose from! You can also buy more bonus content - like extra pallets and stuff to do on the main menu - from Mr. a bunch of other stuff, gets to be designed by yours truly. The main gimmick in this game, though, is that YOU get to draw quite a lot of the things you interact with! Everything from your character, to almost all platforms and powerups, to.

Each world has at least one 'minigame' level where you ride a cart or spaceship to get to your next destination, and every world ends with a designated boss level. It's a 2D platformer where as you get through the level, you have to erase these patches of doodle gunk (it's never explained what it really is) in order to clean everything up! There are also three people in cages per level which you have to find and rescue, and while not all are required you do have to save at least one to beat a level. Overall I thought it was a cute and faithful sequel to Frankendoodle, which kept the spirit of the original episode while being interesting in its own way! I still found it interesting enough to be invested in, and as a Doodlebob fan I have to give bonus points for not making him one-dimensional (ha). This plot is pretty simple, but it's a SpongeBob game so I wasn't expecting anything elaborate. Well except for this bonus, unrelated level that's a HUGE pain, but we'll get to that later.

After a series of climactic battles he is defeated, but before being erased once and for all Spongebob realizes something shocking! The reason Doodlebob ran off to space and made his own version of Bikini Bottom is because. You discover that the Flying Dutchman's ship has been taken over by doodles, though, and the Flying Dutchman himself is being manipulated by them!Īfter that little detour is taken care of it's off to the moon, where Doodlebob has drawn his own mockery of Bikini Bottom.

You and your buddies decide to head down to the deep sea first, which is unfortunately not where he went. Spongebob, Patrick, and - surprisingly - Squidward all tag along, providing help and exposition!ĭoodlebob's a sneaky little thing, though, who manages to escape into the jungle then escapes from *there* with either a submarine or a rocket ship - he has both, but we don't know which he used. Well, technically it's some guy called DoodlePants, but you can make it look however you want!Īfter some other beginner cutscene stuff this is where you start off! I won't bore you with an overly detailed explanation of everything else that happens: essentially Bikini Bottom is in shambles, and you must run around undoing everything Doodlebob and his army of doodles got up to while at the same time hunting him down. But this time, he knocks over not one but TWO magic pencils! As he cries out dramatically, both pencils fall into the ocean, coincidentally right where Patrick is hanging out. whatever he's drawing on his little boat. The game begins similarly to the episode Frankendoodle, with the artist at sea trying to draw. NOTE: This will contain spoilers! I'm also rambly as always so it's pretty long :sweat_smile: Since I'm not too familiar with the original series I'll be grading it as a standalone, so let's get crackin'! This game is based off of a series of games called Drawn to Life - which is actually getting a third installment after a long silence - but it's not necessary to know about those games to play this one.

Overall I really liked it, and I'm not just saying that because it features my favorite character! I remember owning this game a long time ago but never getting very far, so recently I got myself another copy (no clue where my old one would be-) and binge-played it over the past few days.
