It was released in October 2005 for the Xbox, PlayStation 2, GameCube, Game Boy Advance, and the PC.

Plot
SpongeBob SquarePants: Lights!, Camera!, Pants!, the city of Bikini Bottom is producing a show called "The Adventures of Mermaid Man & Barnacle Boy" in which the titular SpongeBob wishes to play as the starring role.[2] SpongeBob must compete with the other characters in the series – including Patrick Star, Sandy Cheeks, Squidward Tentacles, Mr. Krabs and Sheldon J. Plankton – in order to impress the talent scouts and land the lead role of the villain.[3]
Gameplay
SpongeBob SquarePants: Lights!, Camera!, Pants! features three gameplay modes: "story mode", "quick game", and a "tournament mode". The game features over 30 different mini-games in which players cooperate with or compete against each other.[3] Players take turns selecting which mini-game to play. Mini-games include knocking opponents off a small ring into a pool of sludge, a Krusty Krab-cooking contest which involves button-mashing, and a barnacle-scraping exercise in which two-player teams compete to scrape barnacles off a tower.[2] At the beginning, only a select few mini-games (called "auditions") are available, and players must perform well in those to unlock the other mini-games.In the Game Boy Advance version, you can play as SpongeBob SquarePants, Sandy Cheeks, Patrick Star, and Squidward. There is only a "Story Mode", and many minigames are scatered around.[4]
