Speedrun History: Skee-Ball Abuse in SpongeBob Squarepants Battle for Bikini Bottom
Ойындар
In SpongeBob SquarePants Battle for Bikini Bottom, grinding for shiny objects used to take a very long time to complete. Then, the discovery of skee-ball abuse changed the BFBB speedrunning scene forever. In this video, I explain the history of shiny object grinding and SBA, and how it affected the speedrun.

The problem wouldn't be fixing it, the problem would be trying to recreate it to even happen to begin with. The devs don't have the source code to BfBB, so it's very much possible that they just don't know how to make this happen. It's a similar issue with cruise boosting. Though it's been a while since I've followed rehydrated, so they could have made big leaps.

Saw the shift premiere! Well done with this!
Thats beautiful, even for non speed runners thats beautiful.
nice work 😃
Awesome job jb, fun to be reminded of the insanity that was SBA when it was first discovered
Not only did this change the routing of Any% runs, but it made 100% much more accessible and the main category for BFBB speedrunning. Awesome video!
Dang. To think I barely missed seeing all this develop. Loved seeing its rich history.
Fantastic Video. Great to have everything about this trick finally in one place.

It's weird how compelling "virtual skee-ball make number big fast" is. Like, this is a really interesting feat of engineering.
Great video, love some speedrun history between my university history classes.
Super informative video man! Hope to see more like it!
For one game, it sure has a huge community around it. That’s pretty cool.
This is the coolest video I’ve ever seen! Keep up the good work!
Sick video man! More videos like this would be awesome
Excellent history video! I enjoyed it a lot!
great vid - I remember when SBA seemed like the death of this game, but after refining the setup it's been a blessing for categories like 100%!

"Noo! You cant just kill all the tikis and farm shiny objects with it!" "Haha, Tikis go boom."
There's an area in rock bottom with an explosive tiki and a bunch of shy tikis you can set off to get massive amounts of shiny objects. You can leave the area and enter really quickly. We did this when I was little playing the game as a kid.
loved the video nerd, gg no re.

Goodness gracious me. Can't wait to see a full WR history video. Perhaps combining multiple categories together? This one trick is not only game breaking, it's a run killer. How paradoxical.

As I expected, they fixed the Skee Ball grinding in the remaster. The devs knew it was too much of a game abuse to not patch it. So I guess the bridge near the sand castle is now the "official" way to get Shiny Objects quickly.
the 50! sba sounds like demons rising from the ground and going "OOOHOHOOHO HOHOHOHO"
This better not get removed in the remake
Great video. I didn't know too too much about battle for bikini bottom speedrunning, but this stuff always interests me
Great video dude!
The suspense in this video, method after method, I was like is this over yet?😂😂 Anyway great video.
RAID...oh wait
I figured out about the sandcastle trick when I first played this game when I was little, trying to get the max amount of shiny objects possible. I spent so much time just messing around in that game. Crazy to think that it was actually a speed running method for a time.
I was using those sand castle tikis to grind for the theater back In the mid 2000’s. I didn’t use the rocket though. I would just trampoline up there, set off the thunder tikis then jump off and drown myself, rinse and repeat. Still took awhile to unlock the theater though
Banger video homie!

0:36 such a polite intro

Also, I'm hiding my constructive criticism in a stacked comment because, 1. I'm just a rando from the KZreads, so my opinion on something I didn't create isn't that important, and 2. This was really well done. Now, I'm gonna stick around and follow you, whatever direction you take. I just hope that my words would help you, in any way. I would have appreciated delving just a tad bit more into the consistency issues with the setups. I've never done a speedrun of BfBB, so I would have loved to have a bit more detail on that. Secondly, having a more defined narrative would make it more compelling to watch your video all the way to the end. I don't know what that looks like, but there is something to the way Thomas Game Docs and summoningsalt structure their videos to keep people hooked. That's said, I subscribed to summoningsalt before he hit 15,000 subscribers. I've been with Thomas Game Docs since he had less than 40k. You, as well, have the unique marks of personality and style that indicate you have a solid foundation to build upon. While the aforementioned creators' work is grand, it had a starting point. The first two videos on summoningsalt's channel were pretty rough. But, by the time he hit video five, you can see how he began to hit his stride. I am certain you will find yours, and I look forward to being around to witness it.
Why the hell did I watch this video instead of studying for my final

I was able to pull this trick off twice after watching Shift's 2 tiki 30 setup. The first one was to get 39,500 shiny objects to trade and the second one was to get enough to enter the movie theatre. I had to input the cheat code for the bubble bowl because the save file I loaded didn't have that move unlocked
