Reception

Daniel Waite of Movie Games and Tech gave a positive review on the game, rating it an 8/10, writing "Replay value and longevity are at an all-time high. There are many mayo jars to collect and plenty of missions to complete. Furthermore, you can redo quests if you like or explore Bikini Bottom at your own pace. Either way, there is plenty to see and do in this child-friendly game."[6]
