Welcome to the 'Visualized' version of the Spongebob Squarepants: Battle for Bikini Bottom Any% TAS! Please watch in 60FPS for a full experience 👀 This video was created using an external program to read and display controller inputs/memory addresses alongside the game. The gameplay is identical to the 2020 TAS of Battle for Bikini Bottom, no improvements have been made since it's release. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- RTA Standard Timing (File Select to Final Cutscene): 39:20.100 TAS Standard Timing (Power-on to “Last Input”): 39:43.750 This TAS was created using Dolphin Emulator. While Xbox is the fastest console to play Battle for Bikini Bottom, it has limited TAS tools. Compared to Xbox, approximately 5 minutes were lost due to GameCube’s slow load screens, deaths, and oob-respawns throughout this run. A perfect conversion of these inputs to Xbox would yield a 34:xx time. (The lack of lag-based tricks also loses some amount of time).

Because of how the B Button is handled when skipping textboxes, it unfortunately does not display on the input viewer when text boxes are skipped. There is also a bug relating to lag which can cause a button to not register as 'released', I believe this only happens twice in the video, during SBA the Start Button displays as held for a couple seconds when it shouldn't, and towards the end of Kelp Forest the Z Button does the same. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thank you: P3BK4C, THC98, Yoshifan for building off each other's work to create the tool used to visualize memory and controller inputs. https://twitter.com/p3bk4c https://twitter.com/Tales__98 https://twitter.com/yoshifan28 https://github.com/peb-adr/ram-watch-cheat-engine ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thumbnail art by Klyx - https://twitter.com/KlyxTwit ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Feel free to stream this TAS on Twitch (or anywhere really) for viewing parties / reaction content :)
