The day after Christmas will treat Xbox 360 owners to the release of THQ’s Spongebob Squarepants Underpants Slam on Xbox Live Arcade. Priced at 800 Microsoft Points, the game features a slap-happy single player adventure and 4-player multi over Xbox Live.

Happy Holidays from Xbox LIVE Arcade – “SpongeBob SquarePants Underpants Slam!” Arrives this Wednesday!

An exclusive to Xbox LIVE Arcade, “SpongeBob SquarePants Underpants Slam!” launches this Wednesday, December 26th at 9:00 a.m. GMT (2:00 a.m. PST).

THQ ‘s “SpongeBob SquarePants Underpants Slam!,” based on Nickelodeon’s wildly popular animated series, stars SpongeBob himself as he guides the way with his “Bikini Bottom” pals: Patrick, Mr. Krabs, Sandy Cheeks and Plankton in this side-scrolling slap-happy extravaganza. King Neptune has misplaced an entire load of laundry after a massive underwater storm current and it’s up to eager SpongeBob fans to collect them all by searching the kitchens of the Krusty Krab, the cargo hold of the Flying Dutchman’s ship and even the Treasure Room of Atlantis. Collect 99 pairs of Neptune’s bloomers to complete the game in Quest Mode or beat the clock in Time Attack Mode.

Players can also join up to three other friends over Xbox LIVE, play single couch multiplayer Slam Mode, or try to avoid being “it” at Bikini Bottom in Tag Mode. The game will be available in North America for 800 Microsoft Points and is rated E for Everyone by the ESRB.
