SpongeBob SquarePants is in for the bumpiest ride of his life! SpongeBob's Boating Bash draws upon one of the most popular events in the TV series - SpongeBob's tireless tenacity to earn his boating license. After failing the boating exam 78 times, a shady shark character tricks SpongeBob into taking the zany D.R.I.V.E. course that will send him and his friends steering out of control. In this fast-paced, demolition derby style party game, players will drive around in boat mobiles and compete in wacky arenas throughout Bikini Bottom to be the last boat standing.

Play SpongeBob's Boating Bash on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)

The easiest way to play SpongeBob's Boating Bash on a Mac is through Parallels, which allows you to virtualize a Windows machine on Macs. The setup is very easy and it works for Apple Silicon Macs as well as for older Intel-based Macs.

Parallels supports the latest version of DirectX and OpenGL, allowing you to play the latest PC games on any Mac. The latest version of DirectX is up to 20% faster.

Our favorite feature of Parallels Desktop is that when you turn off your virtual machine, all the unused disk space gets returned to your main OS, thus minimizing resource waste (which used to be a problem with virtualization).
