Plankton's latest diabolical scheme to steal the Krabby Patty formula hinges on the creation of an army of evil robots, who will do his bidding. But because Plankton forgot to throw the "Obey Plankton" switch, the army of robots have run amuck and are terrorizing Bikini Bottom. Help SpongeBob, Patrick and Sandy save Bikini Bottom!

SpongeBob SquarePants returns to the PS2 in this 3D platform game starring the characters from Nickelodeon's top-rated children's program. For his second adventure, SpongeBob must once again save the underwater world of Bikini Bottom -- this time from the power of the plotting Plankton. SpongeBob will not be left high and dry in his quest, however. Joining the cause are close friends Patrick StarFish and Sandy Cheeks, each of whom is playable and offers distinct moves and abilities. As players pursue Plankton, they'll be able to perform such heroics as tongue-sliding down a mountain, bungee jumping off cliffs, or riding along the watery depths from inside a cruise bubble.

Features;
* Explore ten worlds ranging from mountaintops to underwater environments
* Try out the special moves of SpongeBob Patrick, and Sandy Cheeks
* See SpongeBob pull off crazy moves, like tongue boarding and underwear bungee jumping
