A Farewell to Bikini Bottom


A Star is Born — a New Era in Battle for Bikini Bottom Speedrunning


Maybe I sound schizo here but does anybody else notice that Star talks in the same exact cadence as Shift? I watched some of his world record and it felt like I was listening to a pitched-up Shift talking. Kinda weird.
I noticed this as well. It's hilarious to no end that the next BfBB runner has exactly the same affect as Shift.

In his video congratulating Star on the world record, Shift claims Star has been running BfBB since he was 12 years old. I admit, when speedrunning became big in the 2010s, it did not occur to me that some children would inevitably end up huffing it all their lives. Shift also makes some bizarre statements regarding "detractors," Star among them, who were lured by adults into BfBB speedrunning while underage. Why Shift would bother including this information in such a historic video is an exercise left for the reader. The video itself is endlessly circular and self-congratulatory despite the fact that Shift is no longer the recordholder, and all he did in the first place was play SpongeBob quickly. One would think he made a scientific breakthrough in protein folding or something.

Spongegrooming is a real and very insidious problem. One day, you’re a kid browsing YouTube and watching clips of your favorite SpongeBob game. The next, you’ve sunk 20k hours into trying to use the heat-seeking bubble missile to clip through the walls of the kelp forest .4 seconds faster than you did an hour ago. It’s scary stuff.
