==What is BFBB?==

[[SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom|''Battle for Bikini Bottom'']] (BFBB) is a licensed platformer from 2003 that recently resurged in popularity due to dedicated speedrunning and modding communities, so much that it has warranted a [[Rehydrated|complete remake]] sixteen years after its original release date. You can [[SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom|read more here]].

BFBB speedrunners have developed many resources and tutorials to encourage and assist newcomer players into picking up the game. This wiki attempts to consolidate as much of these resources into [[:Category:Speedrunning|one hub]] in order for it to be easily searchable. Even if you don't plan to speedrun this game, you can see from these resources all the glitches and tricks that have been discovered.

''Battle for Bikini Bottom'' has also received interest by people who have unpacked the video game's contents and reverse-engineered the engine and game assets, in order to discover hidden content, gain an insight on how the game was developed, and find new tricks suitable for speedrunning the game. The wiki houses [[:Category:Modding|in-depth technical information useful about the game]] as well as links to tools and guides for modding the game yourself.
