**SpongeBob SquarePants** is a happy-go-lucky sponge who resides in a pineapple in the town of Bikini Bottom with his pet snail Gary. He also works as a fry-cook at the Krusty Krab restaurant. Another thing SpongeBob does is attend Mrs. Puff's Boating School, where he takes driving lessons and continuously fails/performs horribly**.** His hobbies consist of jellyfishing, blowing bubbles, playing with his best friend Patrick, practicing karate with his pal Sandy, and trying to have fun with his neighbor (who is constantly annoyed by him), Squidward. He tries his best to be friendly with everyone in Bikini Bottom, staying positive almost all the time.

He is also Nickelodeon's most recognizable and popular character from the series of the same name, created by marine biologist and animator Stephen Hillenburg. Being Nickelodeon's most popular character, SpongeBob has appeared in every Super Brawl game since the very first entry in the series, Jingle Brawl. He has also had many different variations of his character appear throughout the series, such as Classic SpongeBob, Abrasive SpongeBob, Invincibubble, his Mermaid Man cosplay, and The Quickster.

## Abilities

SpongeBob has tons of different abilities seen throughout his show. Some examples include:

* Absorbency - As a sponge, he can absorb any liquid he pleases.
* Bubble blowing - SpongeBob has very great bubble-blowing abilities, being able to blow them in whatever shape he wants.
* Shape shifting - Throughout the series, SpongeBob has shaped his body into numerous different forms.
* Regeneration - SpongeBob is able to break off his body parts and grow new ones. He can also multiply and reproduce by budding.
* Extension - SpongeBob is able to extend his limbs to very far distances.

## Game Appearances

### *In SmashFest*

*Main article: SpongeBob (SmashFest)*

SpongeBob appears as a playable character in *SmashFest,* the prequel game to the Super Brawl series. He is an average-speed character with low Standard Attack power and average Special Attack power. His special attack in the game is Bubble Blow.

### *In Super Brawl*

*Main article: SpongeBob (Super Brawl)*

    SpongeBob makes his very first appearance in the Super Brawl series right in the first version of the original game, *Jingle Brawl*. SpongeBob is often seen by players as a very good character due to his quick punches and kicks, and a very reliable projectile (his hadoken).

His moveset and attire heavily references Ryu from Street Fighter.

### *In Super Brawl 2*

*Main article: SpongeBob (Super Brawl 2)*

SpongeBob rejoins the battle in Super Brawl 2, but this time in a brand new way. Instead of parodying Ryu, he now dresses and fights as SpongeBob normally would be represented in his cartoon; with his iconic collared white shirt, red tie, square pants, and black shoes. While he doesn't use a spatula or blows bubbles, he has brand new unique animations and moves. His previous Super Brawl incarnation is still playable in the game, and he is referred to now as Classic SpongeBob. Many view the new SpongeBob inferior to Classic SpongeBob due to the lack of a projectile and move delay.

### *In Super Brawl 3: Good vs. Evil*

*Main article: SpongeBob (Super Brawl 3: Good vs. Evil)*

SpongeBob once again returns in Super Brawl 3, retaining his iconic look. Throughout battle, he holds a very happy face during battle. Due to Super Brawl 3 gameplay being a bit faster than 2, SpongeBob's moves come out much quicker, reducing the slight input lag from Super Brawl 2. His moveset consists of punches and kicking. However, through the use of the new "fan" (assist) feature, he no longer has a hyper, but if he uses either Dylan or Bobbi, even more SpongeBob references come into play as their power is releasing a powerful bubble attack.

Due to the entire game being a revamp with many changes to characters and the rosters, both of his previous incarnations from Super Brawl 2 do not reappear in this game. However, there is a new character addition on the roster that is another form of him, Abrasive SpongeBob.

### *In Super Brawl 3: Just Got Real*

*Main article: SpongeBob (Super Brawl 3: Just Got Real)*

SpongeBob reappears in the *April Fool's* version of Super Brawl 3 as a playable character along with Abrasive SpongeBob. This time, he is depicted as a realistic kitchen sponge attached to a popsicle stick. His moveset consists of hitting the opponent with his face, spitting bubbles, and hitting the opponent with his spatula. As Super Brawl 3: Just Got Real is only a joke version of the original game, he loses around half the amount of moves he used to have.

### *In Super Brawl 4*

*Main article: SpongeBob (Super Brawl 4)*

SpongeBob yet again returns as a playable character *twice* in both versions of Super Brawl 4, the original game and the Halloween update. Due to the superhero theme of the game, both SpongeBob characters appear cosplayed as superheroes: Invincibubble and Mermaid Man. Invincibubble's moveset consists of superhuman strength attacks, while Mermaid Man SpongeBob's moveset consists of the actual Mermaid Man's abilities from the show: fighting, making opponents fall asleep, and summoning senior citizens to deal a lot of damage. Super Brawl 4 has an updated battle system, reducing the amount of moves characters have had from Super Brawl 3: Good vs. Evil.

Both versions of SpongeBob reappear in the "Scary Brawl" update.

### *In Super Brawl World*

*Main article: SpongeBob (Super Brawl World)*

SpongeBob reappears in Super Brawl World. His attacks consist of spatula hits, a kick, and karate chops. His special attack is an onslaught of bubbles hitting the opponent from his bubble wand. Due to Super Brawl World's limited playstyle, each character only has very few moves.

#### Brawl Call Appearance

Classic SpongeBob and Just Got Real SpongeBob show up as summonable Brawl Calls that can deal extra damage or heal opponents, replacing hypers and "fans" from the previous games.

### *In Super Brawl Universe*

*Main article: SpongeBob (Super Brawl Universe)*

SpongeBob makes an appearance in Super Brawl's first exclusively mobile title, *Super Brawl Universe* as a playable character. Abrasive SpongeBob also returns as a playable character along with a new addition: *The Quickster.*

This time around, SpongeBob is an *unlockable character*, making Super Brawl Universe the first title in the series where he isn't a starter character. He is a "Common" ranked character. His moveset consists of typical punches and kicks, his charge attack is a powerful spin, and his super attack releases a rainbow energy blast towards the opponent.

### *In Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl*

*Main article: SpongeBob (Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl)*

SpongeBob makes a return in Super Brawl's first official PC/Console title: *Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl.* He was confirmed alongside fellow SpongeBob characters Patrick and Sandy from the first trailer. So far from what trailers have shown, his moveset includes the hydrodynamic spatula, jellyfishing net, and a rainbow attack, referencing SpongeBob's "Imagination" quote. His home stage is Jellyfish Fields.
