And you thought nothing could beat a beach party. As kids have discovered at
Nickelodeon’s Bikini Bottom Buddy Roundup event last June 18, undersea get-
togethers are way cooler! SpongeBob SquarePants, Patrick Star, and the rest of the
Bikini Bottom gang did some serious partying with their human friends at SM
Megamall, the official venue partner, to give them a preview of a special surprise
happening over on the Nickelodeon Channel. Thousands of Nicksters and their
families showed up to experience a fun-filled afternoon and meet their favourite silly
sea creatures.
While waiting for the program to begin, excited kids made their way to the different
booths that featured products of Appebon Kid, Chubby Chocolate, and Lipps Pop
Stix, the official sponsors of the event. They also enjoyed having their faces painted
with their favourite Bikini Bottom characters and getting their pictures taken at the
Photo booth, while the younger kids immediately gravitated towards the giant
inflatable play area, where they spent a good one hour jumping and bouncing
nonstop.
Then the Nickelodeon
team launched the different game booths including the Square Pair memory game, a
dice game, and the Ultimate Bikini Bottom Buddy Search Corner, which is an actual
sneak peak of the TV-online game.
Two digital tablets were also provided, which they used to
give the online game a try for the first time. For an ultimate entertainment
experience, two LED screens connected to the tablets were placed in the
background so that other kids were able to join the fun.
But of course one of the
most awaited parts of the event was the appearance of the SpongeBob characters,
and they never disappointed the crowd. Squeals of delight greeted the characters
who appeared on stage and said hello to everyone. The fun continued with a lot of
games and raffle draws, followed by a special meet and greet with the Bikini Bottom
gang which allowed the excited kids to get up close and personal with their favourite
characters.
Tune in to Nickelodeon from July 20-24, 6:00 to 8:00 pm, and keep your eyes peeled for
the SpongeBob SquarePants marathon. Take note of all the 8 characters that will be.
