Plankton is at it again - scheming to
take over Bikini Bottom by enacting yet
another of his devious plans. This time,
he manages to create an army of
mindless robots using an invention he
calls the Duplicatron 3000.
Unfortunately, he forgets to turn on the
"Obey Plankton" switch before
activating the Duplicatron. On the loose
without Plankton to guide them, the
robots begin running amok in
Bikini Bottom and quickly take
over the Chum Bucket. Before
long, the whole town is
literally swimming with
robots - from
Downtown, to the Kelp
Forest, and even the
Mermalair. Worst of all,
the robots are scaring
away customers from
the Krusty Krab and
making off with all the
delicious Krabby Patties! Maybe
Plankton's sinister plan is working after
all! Oh, tartar sauce! It looks like
SpongeBob will have to save the day and
win the Battle for Bikini Bottom. If anyone
can clean up this mess - it's that little
sponge!

OPTIONS
Make adjustments to fit your mood:

game that explain the overall story.
Each game must be completed in order.

transition scenes.

Choose to explore any of the following areas:
• Downtown Bikini Bottom
• Mermalair
• Kelp Forest
• Flying Dutchman's Graveyard
• Chum Bucket Lab
You may choose from any of the five areas, but only one level in
each will be unlocked (When in Story Mode - Default.) Complete the
first level to unlock the next level, then the next, and so on until you
have completed the entire area. Click the BACK button to return to
the Main Menu and visit another level, exit the game or check on
your progress. See you after lunch!
USERS
If you'd like to play as a different user, choose this option. For
example: if your brother wants to play a game but you don't want
him messing up your progress in the SpongeBob User Slot, he can
play in a different User Slot - Patrick, Squidward, Sandy, Mr. Krabs or
Gary. That way, his progress will be saved separately. Of course, the
character slots are just for saving games. The playable character will
always depend on the game you are playing!
EXIT
When you need to leave the game, select EXIT. Choose the "Yes"
option from the confirmation screen to end the current game.
Remember: your completed games will automatically be saved. Bye
for now!

Check the top of your screen for
important information!
• Score: Check the upper left corner of
the screen to see your point score.
Collect as many points as you can
during the game. Keep trying to beat
your last score!
• Chances: A SpongeBob icon sits at the
top center of the screen next to the number of chances you have
left. You'll start each level with 5 chances, but can add to that
number if you find the right Power-Up. If you lose all your chances,
you'll have to start again at the beginning of the level. Oh, tartar
sauce!

Speed Up: SpongeBob certainly can cover the oceanfloor in a hurry, when he finds these little power
boosters.
Slow Mo: Sometimes it seems like enemy robots are
moving sooo sloowwly... well, no wonder, you just
grabbed a great big boost of Slowing Down.
Freeze: Watch the robots freeze! Now SpongeBob can
really bring it around town without worrying about
running into any trouble. But watch out! That freeze
thaws pretty quickly!
Invincible: SpongeBob is invincible! No robot can touch
him now... or at least until the invincibility wears off.
Extra Chance: You'll
need all the chances
you can get, when
the going gets tough
for SpongeBob.
Collect extra
chances whenever
you find them.
Extra Points: Chaching! Watch those
extra points add up!

SpongeBob SquarePants
Our fearless hero is a well-meaning and
optimistic sponge, but trouble seems to
follow him wherever he goes.
SpongeBob loves his job as a fry-cook at
the Krusty Krab and enjoys jellyfishing,
bubble art, karate, and the pursuit of
the perfect Krabby Patty. When Mr.
Krabs asks him to help stop the robots,
SpongeBob happily accepts the challenge.
Of course, he will get a little help from his
friends Patrick Star, Sandy Cheeks,
Squidward Tentacles, Mermaidman &
Barnacleboy and Gary, his pet snail!

to save the day - and Bikini Bottom!
