SpongeBob SquarePants: Revenge of the Flying Dutchman was developed by BigSky Interactive, which spun off from Kalisto's USA branch. The development struggled due to being worked on alongside a Jimmy Neutron game and developing with a engine that was difficult to work with. The latter was caused by Kalisto's French branch being the sole developer of the engine, only implementing changes when BigSky requested them. After the completion of the game, BigSky shut down due to being unable to find further work within the video game industry as a result of sabotage from THQ.
The game was at some point meant to have GBA Link functionality with the GBA version of the game. To make this happen, collaborative efforts were made between the developers of both versions, but difficulties arose at some point relatively late in development, leading to the feature being scrapped.
Present at the root directory of the GameCube version is a file named radar.bin. This is actually a working GBA ROM which was clearly intended to be used in a more finalized form for the scrapped GBA Link functionality. The ROM can be manually loaded on a GBA, and a looping test demo will play on the GBA, as shown.
