Andamiro Co. Ltd. (Goyang-si, South Korea) and Andamiro USA Corp., headquartered here, are pleased to announce the introduction of their latest arcade collaboration with Paramount’s Nickelodeon. SpongeBob Swish is a basketball-inspired redemption game that blends mechanical gameplay with the excitement of arcade hoops. Swish delivers a uniquely accessible experience with automated ball handling and recycling, dynamic scoring and an animated bonus feature—all within a compact, two-player cabinet.

“Swish is a natural continuation of our SpongeBob sports lineup,” said Andamiro USA president Drew Maniscalco in today’s press release. “Following the success of SpongeBob Soccer, the logical next step is a basketball adaptation. I think Swish players will really enjoy controlling SpongeBob and Patrick as they take the shots to climb the scoreboard.”
Swish challenges players to shoot and score using familiar joystick and button controls.Each successful shot advances the player along a scoreboard column — 2, 4, 6, 10 —
culminating in a chance to spin the game’s mechanical bonus reel for big-ticket prizes. With adjustable play settings and a wide appeal across age groups, Swish is designed to drive repeat plays and operator ROI.
Each player side—SpongeBob and Patrick—features three basket targets in red, yellow and blue, matching their respective scoreboard columns. The baskets are mounted to a backboard assembly that moves side to side, while the separate ball delivery track also shifts laterally, adding an extra layer of challenge. While each ball shot follows a consistent arc and trajectory, landing a swish requires near-perfect timing—easier said than done.
SpongeBob Swish is equipped with operator-friendly features, including customizable crediting and ticket settings, a real-time bookkeeping menu, built-in diagnostics and an adjustable mercy ticket option. The game is suited for arcades, family entertainment centers or any venue seeking a sports-themed attraction that combines skill, competitive play and SpongeBob’s universal charm.
Bright and eye-catching, Swish boasts a prominent SpongeBob marquee, bold character artwork and glowing LED cabinet trim. Its electromechanical components and gravity-fed ball mechanics enhance the visual spectacle and tactile gameplay.
The cabinet measures 50” W. x 44” D. x 96” H. (1297 x 1015 x 2450 mm); without the marquee, Swish stands at 71” (1803 mm). It weighs in at 520 lbs. (236 kg) and draws 300W of power.
Andamiro’s SpongeBob Swish will ship in mid-December. Sales information can be had from authorized distributors or by emailing Andamiro USA at sales@andamirousa.com.
