Plot

Gameplay

The Nintendo DS version is a lot more limited movement-wise compared to the console and Nintendo 3DS versions as the player cannot jump at will, but the player automatically jumps when they move their character off the edge of a cliff. This version has only 4 gizmos unlike the console and Nintendo 3DS versions which feature 7 gizmos. The 4 gizmos in the Nintendo DS version are the Pickle Blaster, Portable Tartar Sauce, Reef Blower, and Neptuning Fork. The gizmos shop does not appear in the midway point during a level in this version. Instead, the gizmos shop only appears in-between levels. All the boss fights in this version also play out the exact same way. The music is also lower quality due to the limitations of the Nintendo DS, and the characters do not talk during gameplay.

Playable characters

• SpongeBob SquarePants
• Mr. Krabs
• Patrick Star
• Sandy Cheeks
• Squidward Tentacles

Enemies

• Plankton's Giant Robot Suit (boss)
• Super Scout
• Buzzbot (In this version, these can only be destroyed by gizmo attacks)
• Turret
• Electric Barrier: Blocks off an area and deals damage when players touch it. Must be deactivated by hitting a switch somewhere in the stage.
• Sentry: Basically a Turret that only fires in one direction.
• Rocket-bot

Trivia

General

• The Nintendo DS version of this game can also be played on the Nintendo 3DS since the console is backwards compatible with Nintendo DS games.
• This was the last SpongeBob SquarePants video game released for the Nintendo DS.
  • This is also the only non-crossover SpongeBob video game on the Nintendo DS to not be published by THQ.
• The Flying Dutchman makes a cameo in the level "Dutchman's Triangle." However, he cannot be interacted by the player. He is also in 2D despite the game using 3D models.
• In this version, the player does not get chased by Plankton's robot on the bridge.
• In this version, the sprockets counter was only programmed to go up to and fit 4 digit numbers. As a result in that version, the maximum amount of sprockets the player can hold up to is 9,999.
• This game borrows a similar currency that is used in the Ratchet & Clank franchise.
