I believe that game is a reskin of the Kahootz reboot of Waterfuls, it’s one of the latest SpongeBob water games!
Personally, I’m a big fan of older SpongeBob! I know I know, everyone my age says that, but it really does hold a special place in my heart. Even taking the nostalgia goggles off, I have such an appreciation for that massive little cartoon and what it did.
And luckily for me, there are a good couple of themed water games about the little guy, and they’re all really really neat.

Firstly there’s these guys! The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie Krusty Krab water game and 2 pineapple games I haven’t been able to find the names for. All 3 are the same brand and are merch for the 2004 movie. All are also electronic in some regard, mainly for sound effects. Them being electronic is actually what inspired me to make that a second category. I usually find electronics in water games silly, but I’d actually argue it’s a good choice here, cartoon sound effects for a cartoon themed game is a great idea! I’m always a big fan when a toy maker takes the concept of a water game and really puts their all into making something unique, and these don’t disappoint!

This guy would be the Waterful 2 Player SpongeBob SquarePants Condiment Island game from 2006. This game could very well be the last 2 Player model released, which is pretty cool. You toss a Krabby Patty around and try to catch it. What’s not to love?

And who can forget the Wendy’s Kids Meal SpongeBob SquarePants House Party Patrick’s Water Game? Hooooo that was a mouthful. This one’s from 2002, making it the oldest here and possibly the very first SpongeBob themed water game! Kids meal water games are always so charming, this one’s particularly silly to me. I’m not even sure how you play it! Do you pull that pink tab to do something or do you just shake him until the pieces fall into place? I can’t wait to find out.
There’s others too of course, but these guys are pretty high on my list.
