G-Loves are robots that appear as an enemy in the video game Battle for Bikini Bottom and its remake Battle for Bikini Bottom: Rehydrated. They make their debut appearance in Downtown Bikini Bottom as the fourth robot SpongeBob, Patrick and Sandy encounter in their adventures. Later, SpongeBob makes his way past his first SpongeBall gate. Here, the two of them attack a Bikini Bottomite, playing tennis with him as the ball and their own hands as rackets, but Gary interrupts their game by dropping an anvil, landing on one of them and destroying it in the process.
Description
G-Loves are green and purple robots that look like a flying saucer. The enemy has five hands with large white gloves covering them. G-Loves also have a pair of antennae sticking out the front and a green dome in the center.
In the remake, the pair of antennae are reduced to one and are placed on top of their glass dome, which now includes a siren. The siren lights up green while it patrols an area, and it changes to red once it spots SpongeBob, Patrick and/or Sandy.
Abilities
- Smack attack
- Massaging
- Lemon squeezing
- Hand puppetry
Role in game
G-Loves are semi-common enemies that first appear in Downtown Bikini Bottom. Once they spot the player, they start spinning their hands around their body and attempt to fly into the player. If the enemy manages to damage a player (or if their allies or the enemy themselves manages to defeat the player), they will clap happily. G-Loves usually appear in groups of two or three. Due to their spin attack, G-Loves cannot be attacked safely from the side; as a sign that introduces the robot hints, the best way to defeat a G-Love is to use SpongeBob's Bubble Bounce or Patrick's body slam attacks from above them, although one can defeat the robot with Sandy's lasso. Upon being lassoed, G-Loves turn their top side away from whatever location Sandy is at as she catches all five of their hands, and then get tossed in a random lateral direction when she reels the rope in.
They are found in Downtown Bikini Bottom, Goo Lagoon, the Mermalair, the Kelp Forest, and SpongeBob's Dream. Destroying a G-Love earns the player forty Shiny Objects.
Trivia
- The enemy's name is a pun on the word "glove," referring to the large gloves it wears on its hands.
