SpongeBob SquigglePants (known as SpongeBob SquigglePants 3D on the Nintendo 3DS port) is an action video game based on the SpongeBob SquarePants series. It is the fourth game to be in the uDraw Series. The gameplay is inspired by Nintendo's WarioWare series.

The game was published by THQ and developed by WayForward Technologies. It contains mini-games which require using the uDraw GameTablet. A version for the 3DS was made later, which added a brand new level, IconBob, which requires the circle pad.

Gameplay

Wii version

Similar to WarioWare games, players get to play mini-games, dubbed Nanogames, in quick succession in order to proceed. Each nanogame has a short time limit of less than 10 or 5 seconds, depending on the nanogame, and players would have to rely on quick thinking and reflexes to finish each nanogame. The game requires the use of the now-discontinued uDraw GameTablet by THQ.

3DS version

The gameplay on the 3DS version is almost identical to the Wii version, but instead of the uDraw Tablet (since the 3DS isn't compatible with it), the touch screen is used. The IconBob levels (which are exclusive to this version) are done using the 3DS Circle Pad.

How to play the Nanogames

• Tap
• Draw
• Drag 1 (Circle way)
• Drag 2 (Slide way)
• Flick
• Tilt
• Shake
• Tilt
• Hold

Nanogames

SketchBob

The art style in this stage is crudely drawn sketches, often with incomplete lines and coloring. When starting the stage, Mr. Krabs gestures to the Krusty Krab's doors. If a microgame is completed, customers enter the restaurant. If a microgame is lost, Mr. Krabs looks sad. If the stage is completed or a high score is obtained, Mr. Krabs jumps in the air as many customers enter. If the player runs out of lives, Mr. Krabs cries as the doors and windows to the Krusty Krab are boarded shut.

B-Movie

The art style in this stage resembles a horror movie, and is set in a theater showing a movie about Squidward and the hash-slinging slasher.

If a microgame is lost, the hash-slinging slasher gets closer to Squidward and smiles. If the stage is completed or a high score is obtained, the hash-slinging slasher collapses to reveal SpongeBob and Patrick in a costume. If the player runs out of lives, SpongeBob and Patrick, still in the hash-slinging slasher costume, approach Squidward with evil expressions.

Reception

Metacritic gave this game a 64%, meaning "mixed or average reviews."
