SpongeBob SquarePants X My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic (Japanese: スポンジボブ スクエアパンツ X (クロス) マイリトルポニー: トモダチは魔法; AKA. SuponjiBobu SukueraPantsu Kurosu Mai Ritoru Poni: Tomodachi wa Mahō) is a crossover fighting game developed by Capcom and Sandvich33 Enterprises in association with Nick Games and Hasbro.
SpongeBob SquarePants and My Little Pony nowadays are vaguely similar in many ways, what with nearly perfect animation, originating somewhere in the 1980s as non-TV cult classics, highly famous online, and getting crap past the radar. What with these being a part of bigshot children's media, they would possibly be due for a crossover some day. And what better day than NOW!?
Gameplay[]
Being that Capcom is involved in this, it has core elements used in the Street Fighter franchise, such as performing Super Combos, EX Attacks (as seen in Street Fighter 4), and 2D-style controls. Players may choose between characters from SpongeBob SquarePants and/or My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic and can select whether to control the characters in the style of either Street Fighter's 6-button style or Tekken's 4-button style. Each fighter can be switched out normally or during certain combos. As the fight proceeds, players build up power in a 3-sectioned meter known as the "Cross Gauge", which allows players to perform various techniques depending on how much the gauge is fueled. Like many fighting games, it has a simple goal: be the last one standing tall in the most rounds and you win.
The tag team element of the game is heavily emphasized, with players being able to switch between the two characters in their team in a variety of manners. Switch Cancel allows players to switch partners in the middle of a combo, whilst Cross Rush combos involve launching the opponent into the air before swapping partners and continuing the combo. Cross Arts, which require a full Cross Gauge, allows players to chain together each character's Super Combo in one straight attack, whilst the Cross Assault mechanic allows players to simultaneously control both characters in their team until the Cross Gauge runs out.
There are 2 modes in vs. mode to select for your characters. One is the Gem System, which allows players to equip 3 gems that each give a specific stats upgrade. There are 6 types of gems: attack, defense, speed, vitality, assist, and Cross Gauge. Each gem is designated by a specific color and will activate certain conditions during the fight. The other mode is known as Pandora Mode, which is when a player can be sacrificed when his/her health is down to 25% in order to activate Pandora Mode. This increases the player's strength and gives infinite "cross fuel". This has a time limit on it , though. Pandora Mode will be lost automatically if the player is unable to defeat the opponent before time runs out.
This also includes various options for online play/Nintendo Wi-fi Connection. 2 players can be on the same side, 1 controlling each character, and face off in 4-player matches. Scramble mode allows 4 players to fight in teams of 2. The game will also have online training mode which can be played cooperatively or competetively with 2 players, along with support for the Fighter Request feature.

Trivia[]
The style of most of it all is vaguely similar to The King's Epic Adventure X The Frollo Show.
The Semi-Humanoid style is possibly an idea for an obligatory "Make It Happen" meme on Derpibooru where someone would be like "I want there to be a SpongeBob Anime and I want it to later tie in with My Little Pony: Equestria Girls!", or so the creator thinks.
The bonus stage is a 3-way combo of all the bonus stages from Street Fighter 2.
