Let's Play SpongeBob Plug-and-Play (2003): SpongeBob's Bubble Pop, Patrick and the Maze!

Jakks Pacific made two SpongeBob SquarePants shaped plug-and-play consoles in the 2000's (there are others featuring SpongeBob, such as the Fry Cook Games, but I'm speaking about the two that are specifically shaped like Spongebob himself). This one has five games on it, is from 2003, and is probably the more well known of the two. This one has a single face button near the nose joystick that says "Fire." and the reset button on the side is red. The other SpongeBob plug-and-play has two face buttons on it (A and B), and the reset button is yellow, with only four games, and different games than the 5-in-1 I am showing off in this video.

My wife had one of these as a kid, so I tracked one down on eBay a couple years back and got one so she could play these games again. They're quite fun and good! Apparently, they all have an ending. I didn't make it to the ending of SpongeBob's Bubble Pop, but I DID beat Patrick and the Maze (with a little help from the internet at the end). Patrick and the Maze is probably the most iconic game on this plug-and-play.

After I finish giving each of the five games on this plug-and-play a good shot, I will go through the 4-in-1 plug-and-play from (I believe) 2007. This has different games than the one in the video, although it has enhanced graphics and audio. I'll also eventually make a video showing the difference between the two, so people who may want to collect one (or both) of these look for the correct one and don't accidentally mix them up!
