Gameplay[]

SpongeBob can shoot bubbles and do karate chops, Patrick can pick up and throw stuff, can do a ground pound and Sandy can glide with her rope onto Texas logos. Each level has to do with the show and objectives much like its featured episode (Ex: in the Kelp Forest level, the player has to find the missing campers, much like the SpongeBob episode The Jelly Spotters). Mr. Krabs sells stuff to SpongeBob, which can be bought by using flowers. Most golden spatulas are found by regular platforming, but some have a few requirements.
