Scheduled for release alongside its 2004 cinematic inspiration, SpongeBob SquarePants - The Movie is a third-person, mission-driven action game. The absorbent, yellow, porous protagonist and his Bikini Bottom posse become involved in the mystery surrounding King Neptune's missing crown, and they must complete a series of platform challenges to unravel it. Along the way, they stumble into unforeseen danger, but make some new friends, too. Various levels put players in control of SpongeBob himself, his starfish friend Patrick, on foot or behind the wheel of a number of drivable vehicles.

On a heroic, comedic quest through more than 20 levels of platform, driving and sliding action, SpongeBob and Patrick leave Bikini Bottom and journey to new and unexplored lands. Players join their struggle to defeat Plankton's diabolic scheme to take over the world...Plan Z! Plankton has stolen King Neptune's crown and assumed control of the town of Bikini Bottom, placing the blame squarely on Mr. Krabs. Together, SpongeBob and Patrick must journey to far away Shell City to recover the crown, return to Bikini Bottom and save the town and Mr. Krabs.

Features
Play as either SpongeBob or Patrick save Bikini Bottom from the evil Plankton
Earn "manliness" points to spend on macho-enhanced power-ups
Complete "Goofy Goober" challenges to earn tokens that will grant special moves
