THQ Announces SpongeBob vs. The
Big One: Beach Party Cook-Off for DS

New SpongeBob SquarePants Game
Will Serve A Full Menu of Cooking Challenges and Unlockable Recipes

THQ Inc. today announced that
SpongeBob vs. The Big One: Beach Party Cook-Off is currently in development and
scheduled to make its debut exclusively for Nintendo DS in March 2009. Based on
Nickelodeon’s upcoming, special April episode of the same name — SpongeBob vs.
The Big One — the game will have players slicing and dicing their way in the
Krusty Krab kitchen to become the ultimate fry cook in Bikini Bottom.

In SpongeBob vs. The Big One: Beach
Party Cook-Off, Mr. Krabs has signed up to compete in the cooking contest that
will determine who will cater Jack Kahuna Laguna’s Big Beach Party. Players will
be tasked with assisting SpongeBob, Patrick and friends in running the Krusty
Krab and training Plankton’s cousins in the creation of the best deep-sea
dishes. Utilizing the Nintendo DS touch screen and stylus, players will serve
more than 100 different zany entrees, such as a perfectly done Krabby Patty,
Anemone Meatloaf, Fried Seaweed Sandwiches and other Sponge-I-Fied foods. With
more than 25 different cooking activities, players will also learn how to cook
SpongeBob style, which will include new and unique culinary techniques such as
“skipping,” “painting,” and “slingshooting”. As players progress through the
game, they will earn rewards that will allow them to customize and decorate the
Krusty Krab restaurant. Loaded with authentic voice-overs from Tom Kenny, the
official voice talent of SpongeBob, the game also features wireless cooperative
gameplay that will unlock additional Sponge-tacular recipes.
