SpongeBob SquarePants: Underpants Slam is a 2007 Xbox Live Arcade game that was developed by Blitz Games and published by THQ and was released alongside Screwjumper!. It is an action-puzzle game that includes the characters from the SpongeBob SquarePants animated show on Nickelodeon.

Due to the game's developer Blitz Games shutting down operations in 2013 along with its publisher THQ,^[1] the game's servers are still up but are often empty, and the game for a long time, was no longer available for sale on the Xbox Live Marketplace.

In March 2016, the game has been leaked. In August 2018, the game has been relisted in the Xbox Live Arcade Store for $9.99 by THQ Nordic.^[2]

"Lost" Status

This game could have been determined not so much as "lost" as it was "inaccessible," because many users had it downloaded on their hard-drives, but it wasn't available to those who didn't have it and wanted it.

As such, this game fell into a special in-between group of lost media, since it wasn't quite lost.

Found Game

After the efforts of Lost Media Wiki users Brodster and SpooferJahk, a downloadable version of the game has been preserved from a torrent link among XBLA torrents and can be found on MEGA.
