Super Easy Fun Time Adventure Pants is an April Fools day themed platforming game developed by Nickelodeon. The gimmick behind this game is that it’s marketed as being very easy, but in reality it’s actually very difficult.
Controls[]
- Left/Right: Move left/right
- Up: Jump
Gameplay[]
The game consists of several platforming levels where you have to navigate SpongeBob to the end in order to move on to the next level and continue pursuing Plankton, who has stolen a Krabby Patty. This sounds simple but is far easier said than done; even though the arrangement of the platforms in each of the levels is nothing too crazy, most of the platforms disappear and reappear at random intervals, making it easy to fall down to a lower area or onto a hazard. Additionally, various Nickelodeon characters will randomly show up from time to time and try to distract you in different ways; as you get further along in the game, the characters will appear more frequently.
Winning the Game[]
Should you manage to beat all the game’s levels, you’ll get a screen telling you that you didn’t win because you were supposed to get the Krabby Patty from Plankton; the screen shows Plankton gleefully running away from an angry SpongeBob while holding the patty. This can be easily remedied; since your goal was to retrieve the Krabby Patty, you just need to click on the patty on the screen and drag it over to SpongeBob, and you will then be shown a new screen telling you that you won.
Hazards[]
- Jellyfish: Floats up and down over a small area.
- Anemone: Shoots projectiles that disappear after traveling a certain distance. The speed of the projectiles and the distance it takes for them to disappear varies depending on each individual Anemone.
Character Appearances[]
- SpongeBob: SpongeBob walks in from the left side of the screen and slowly tiptoes to the right, obstructing a large portion of the screen as he walks.
- Patrick: Patrick abruptly pops up on the screen and does a silly dance for a few seconds before disappearing.
- Cosmo: Cosmo flies in from the right side of the screen and breathes on the camera, making your screen foggy for a few seconds.
- Po: Po flies across the screen while striking a kung-fu pose.
- Leo: Leo emerges near the middle of the screen, devours a pizza slice, burps, then smiles at the camera before disappearing.
- Donnie: Donnie jumps up in the middle of the screen and swings his bo staff down as he reaches the peak of his jump and starts falling downward.
- Raph: Raph pops up in the middle of the screen and throws a couple punches before disappearing.
- Mikey: Mikey flies across the screen swinging his nunchucks, crashes into something offscreen, and then comes up dizzy for a few moments before disappearing.
- Sanjay and Craig: Sanjay and Craig pop up in the middle of the screen, press their faces up against the camera, and then slowly slide downwards.
Trivia[]
- Interestingly, Sanjay and Craig appear in this game despite the fact that their show hadn't even premiered on Nick yet at the time of the game's release.
- Aside from the gimmicks in the main game, there's also a gag on the title screen where the play button will initially just make a farting noise and move to a new spot on the screen when clicked on; after being clicked on a few times, the game will finally start.
