I also keep my subscribers updated on news regarding the Battle for Bikini Bottom Rehydrated remake / remaster. If that's something you're interested in, check back to this channel frequently! I'll be speedrunning that game when it's released as well, along with making resources to help people start running it.
Good luck on the runs!
