This action-adventure game places the player in control of SpongeBob, Patrick, Sandy, and Squidward as they search Bikini Bottom for two missing superheroes. The team must navigate through hazards like ghost-pirates and super villains to rescue the stars and return them to the film set. Your choices and performance in these missions directly influence the outcome of the special television episode.
Story
Introduction
Bikini Bottom is abuzz! Producer Gil Hammerstein is filming a special episode of "The New Adventures of Mermaidman and Barnacleboy" on location in everyone's favorite undersea town.
But production is stalled when the show's stars mysteriously disappear! It's up to SpongeBob, Patrick, Sandy and Squidward to bring the missing superheroes back to the set, but that's not as easy as it sounds.
Ghost-pirates, super villains and other dangers await them. The fate of the popular television series rests in their hands! So, break a leg, SpongeBob! The show must go on!
Lights, Camera, Pants!
Once Mermaidman and Barnacleboy are returned to the set, Gil Hammerstein will call on SpongeBob, Patrick, Sandy and Squidward to put their skills to the test in up to five different scenes!
It's up to you to help them meet this challenge, and your performance will affect the story of this special episode of "The New Adventures of Mermaidman and Barnacleboy."
How to Play
Setup
1. Turn OFF the power switch on your Nintendo® Game Boy® Advance. Never insert or remove a Game Pak when the power is on.
2. Insert the Game Pak of SpongeBob SquarePants: Lights, Camera, Pants! into the slot on the Game Boy® Advance. To lock the Game Pak in place, press firmly.
3. Turn ON the POWER switch. The credit screens will appear (if you don't see them, begin again at step 1).
4. When the title screen appears, press START to proceed to the Main Menu.

The Path to Stardom
SpongeBob, Patrick, Sandy and Squidward will risk life and limb to find the decrepit, er, dynamic duo, and their efforts will not go unrewarded. Producer Gil Hammerstein is keeping a close eye on their progress.
At the end of each level he'll award a role in "The New Adventures of Mermaidman and Barnacleboy" to the character that completes the level. That's right, it's a chance for our fearsome foursome to put their feet and/or tentacles on the path to stardom! But like any path, it's not without obstacles.

Enemies & Characters
SpongeBob SquarePants
The talented SpongeBob SquarePants is the quickest of the characters, but he's not so great when it comes to stopping bad guys.
Sandy Cheeks
Sandy Cheeks is a lean, mean karate machine.
Patrick Star
Patrick may not be the brightest starfish in the sea, but he's the most well rounded character.
Squidward Tentacles
Squidward is hands down the slowest character, but his long tentacles give him that extra boost when it comes to jumping.
Jellyfish
Jellyfish are known to sting! Generally, you'll want to avoid these floating, pink enemies.
Giant Clams
For the most part clams will leave you alone, unless it's dinnertime! When their shells open up prepare to defend yourself!
Ghost Pirates
Well, let's face it, you can't have an undersea adventure without a few dead pirates looking for trouble.
Fanboys
They'll do anything for an autograph, so don't get between them and their superheroes.
Bullies
They're big, mean and they think they own the beach! It's time to teach these guys a lesson.
Props
Oh sure, they're inanimate objects-how could they possibly harm you? You must have missed last week's episode of When Props Attack.
Manray
Mermaidman and Barnacleboy's nemesis wants to put you on ice with his odious freeze ray.
Items & Weapons
Golden Star
Collect stars to unlock bonuses and secrets. You can also cash in your stars for mini-games! Stars can also buy you “extra film slates.”
Giant Golden Star
One giant star is worth 10 regular stars.
Film Slate
The film slate gives you an extra turn.
Conch
The conch can help Mermaidman free the rest home from sea creatures!
TV Set
The TV set can help you bring back a character that's been knocked out of your team lineup. Collect the TV when the missing character appears on the screen to add him or her to your team. If you already have a full team, the TV gives you an extra turn!
