Spongebob by MugenJF (Metool spriteswap version)

[kil0-meter]

In June 2007 MugenJF put out a Spongebob character that was a spriteswap of N64Mario's Metool. It was kind of like Metool if he were Spongebob and instead of dropping a giant Metool on the opponent he dropped a giant burger instead. It's such a weird spriteswap, and that's exactly why I want it.

While the "Release 2.0 Evolution" version of JF's Spongebob is pretty common nowadays, this one is anything but common. The video above and this archive of MugenJF's site https://web.archive.org/web/20070701053651/http://mugenjf.bravehost.com/chars.htm are just about the only things proving its existence.

I've always been curious about this ever since I saw the video above in 2009, and I think even back then it was hard to come by. It's a super-duper long shot and I doubt almost anybody held onto him for that long, but I'm giving it a try anyway.
