Developer: AWE Games Publisher: THQ Platform: Windows Released in US: October 9, 2005 Released in EU: November 18, 2005 This game has unused code. This game has unused graphics. This game has unused cinematics.

As usual, the Windows version of SpongeBob SquarePants: Lights, Camera, Pants! is completely different from the console versions. Instead of being a minigame collection, it's a point and click game similar to SpongeBob SquarePants: Employee of the Month. It also recycles countless assets from AWE Games' previous SpongeBob titles, as well as background art from the show.

Unused Graphics

dump2

dump2.sbg is background art of a dumpster from the episode Missing Identity. It was meant for the Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy movie, likely for the scene at the dump, which actually uses parts of this background for the fight scene.

Shady_icecream

Shady_icecream.sba is an image of an ice cream truck cropped from a background used in the episode Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy V. It's found in the files for Shady Shoals, but it isn't seen anywhere, nor does it correspond with any of Shady Shoal's backgrounds.

KevinCloseup

KevinCloseup.sba is a closeup of Kevin's crotch from the episode I'm Your Biggest Fanatic. Purpose unknown.

Unused Textures

Stunt Double

A texture taken from the console version, found in the Sneaky Hermit costume.

Unused Videos

MENU01

MENU01.bik is a strange video that takes place on the menu screen. It has a jellyfish on a string and an animatronic shark on the stage.

Oddities

SpongeBob's Underpants

SpongeBob has his underwear modeled, leftover from The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie.

Accidental Placeholder Dialogue

During the movie at the end of the game, if you cast Mermaid Man as himself, his last voiceline at the end of the film is clearly done by a different actor, and in lower quality. Probably a developer leftover.

Leftover Cheat

The "PLANKTON" cheat from The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie (which unlocked costumes for some chapters) can be activated in this game, but it does nothing.
