SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom is an original Xbox game released in 2003 that has had a growing cult following over the past several years, spawning countless playthroughs on YouTube, and notably, a community of over 400 total players according to speedrun.com.

The game served as an integral part of the childhoods of many people, and its fun-filled adventures and flawless gameplay deserves the chance to be re-experienced, as well as introduced to a new generation of players who have a taste for SpongeBob-brand joy and good video games.

Allowing the game to be played on Xbox One through backwards compatibility would open the way for even more people - those who don't still have old consoles from their childhood - to enjoy the game, as well as help others discover a hidden gem to reignite their love for the sponge himself.
