Oceans 9
Oceans 9 was the ninth version of SBC. It was first confirmed by Aquatic Nuggets on July 16th, 2013, and it launched with SpongeBob Universe Version 2 (dubbed SBU Squared) on July 20th, 2013. A countdown party was held the night before on July 19th, 2013, similar to the Orca party.
Oceans received mixed reactions, and is usually considered to be one of the weakest SBC versions due to lack of features and not living up to hype. It was eventually demoted as the default skin, losing its place to Orca. No versions were ever created of Oceans after Oceans 9.0. Orca was continued to be updated in place of Oceans (although Oceans remained available for use alongside Orca). The Oceans skin has now been removed entirely as of September 25, 2015.
Trivia
- This version was originally named V9 Jellyfish.
- No features were released with it; just SBU Squared, which turned out to be a failure.
- This was originally the longest gap between a new version, lasting over a year.
- This also marks the first version to not be named after a sea animal, but rather, the sea itself.
- This is the first and only time in SBC history where a skin included a slideshow presentation in the top right corner. V12 Squid and Squid Ink later did something similar in 2017.
