David Hasselhoff (born July 17, 1952; age 71) is an actor who takes SpongeBob and Patrick back to Bikini Bottom in the climax of The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie. He is best known for starring in the NBC series Baywatch and the 1980s science-fiction television series Knight Rider. He also appears in the book, Cine-Manga book, the game, and Road Trip in 3-D! He was mentioned in the book Are We There Yet? and the video game SpongeBob's Truth or Square and the specials Square Roots: The Story of SpongeBob SquarePants, The Absorbing Tale Behind The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie, and Making of The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie. He also appears in "SpongeBob's Big Birthday Blowout."

History

Movie

He first appears in The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie. SpongeBob and Patrick fight Dennis on his back and legs. His butt gets stabbed by Dennis; he does not feel any pain, but he does ask SpongeBob and Patrick to "take it easy back there." At the end of the movie, he gets burnt by King Neptune.

"SpongeBob's Big Birthday Blowout"

He makes two cameos. He first appears kayaking, when the French Narrator's submarine knocks him over, to which he replies "Tartar sauce!" He is then seen on the beach at the end of the episode, and the tour bus runs over his feet. Patchy and Potty then show up, and Hasselhoff accuses Patchy of running over his feet, pulling Patchy's hat down.

At the end of the episode, he can be seen wishing SpongeBob a happy birthday.

Biography

He is also very famous outside of the SpongeBob SquarePants world. He seems to be part cyborg or android, as he is able to propel himself forward without swimming, like a motorboat. His pectorals extend outward, allowing him to place SpongeBob, Patrick, and King Neptune's crown in between them so they can reach Bikini Bottom in time.

Role in video games

The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie video game

Console

His role in the video game is identical to his role in the film. He appears in the level "Dennis Strikes Back!" After SpongeBob and Patrick get King Neptune's crown and a lift from David Hasselhoff, the Cyclops’ boot returns, along with Dennis. This time, he will throw several daggers at SpongeBob. Directly approaching him does not work, as he will just leap to a different spot. The strategy to beating him is to use the bowling attack or deflecting his daggers using an upgraded spin attack. As Dennis' health decreases, he calls in Slammers into the arena. Once he is defeated, Dennis gets hit by an oncoming boat.

GBA

He appears in the levels "Hold the Hasselhoff" and "The Return of Dennis."

PC

Even though David Hasselhoff appears both in the movie as well as the console version of the game, he is not directly mentioned in the PC game. His character is rather referred to as "......" even though he only appears on one artwork. This artwork at the end of chapter 7, "Shell City," shows a silhouette of a cartoon version of Hasselhoff.

Role in books

He has the same role in the movie.

Trivia

• Even though he is not mentioned by name in the video game adaptation of the movie, SpongeBob almost mentions him before getting interrupted by Squidward in SpongeBob's Truth or Square.
  • However, in the GBA version, he is mentioned.

SpongeBob almost about to say David Hasslehoff's name before being cut off.
