SpongeBob SquarePants Soccer Shot Pinball

The SpongeBob SquarePants Soccer Shot is a licensed redemption game from 21st Century Entertainment of Wichita, Kansas, notable for using an LCD flat-panel monitor in place of a traditional mechanical playfield. Despite its name and pinball-style cabinet, it is not an actual pinball machine; its playfield presentation was licensed from D. Gottlieb and displayed digitally rather than through physical ramps and targets.

The game is built around a soccer-themed challenge featuring SpongeBob SquarePants, appealing to fans of the Nickelodeon franchise, and supports up to four players. It was produced in both ticket-redemption and non-ticket versions, making it adaptable to different arcade and family entertainment settings.

While its exact release date is uncertain, a promotional flyer carries a 2007 copyright, and a December 2007 report in Pinball News indicated the game was expected to become available around the end of January 2008. As a video-based hybrid rather than a true pinball, it stands as a curious footnote in the history of licensed Nickelodeon coin-op games.
