"Chapter 2: Hitting Rock Bottom"

SpongeBob and Patrick get on the bus but suddenly, the weather gets really bad, so they get lost and end up in Rock Bottom (again). The goal is to figure out why the weather is stormy and to fix it.

Locations

"Chapter 3: Back to Square One"

They get out of Rock Bottom, but SpongeBob and Patrick do some annoying things on the bus, so the bus driver tricks them and says that the bus ran out of gas. They get left behind and have to find a new way to get to Neptune's Paradise. The goal is to get on Sandy's rocket.

Locations

"Chapter 4: Bottoms Up!"

The oxygen fuel tank in Sandy's rocket runs out of oxygen (thanks to Patrick stepping on the gas pump), and they get stuck in Bottoms Up.

He says it is "SpringBoob SquirePin's" party, and Sandy tells him that he made an error in pronunciation. SpongeBob and Patrick are overjoyed as their hearts are fixed, and several characters that they met throughout the game jump out and say: "Surprise!" They all ride the rides and have a lot of fun.
