Play Spongebob SquarePants - Lights, Camera, Pants! (E)(Rising Sun) Online

I picked up Spongebob SquarePants: Lights, Camera, Pants! for the Game Boy Advance back in 2005, a time when licensed games were everywhere. THQ published it, and it was one of those party games that tried to capture the show's humor in a multiplayer format. It felt very much of its era, designed for quick sessions with friends rather than deep solo play.

You control various characters from the show, like SpongeBob or Patrick, competing in a series of mini-games to earn roles in a movie. The main goal is to win audition events by outperforming others in tasks such as flipping Krabby Patties, avoiding jellyfish, or racing through obstacle courses. The game relies on short, repetitive challenges that are simple to grasp but can get competitive, especially with other players. It's not particularly difficult, but the fun comes from the unpredictability and the occasional frustration of losing to a friend's lucky move. Playing it feels like a chaotic, silly version of the TV show brought to life on a small screen.
