Robo-Sandy is the first robot boss in the video games Battle for Bikini Bottom and Battle for Bikini Bottom: Rehydrated. She is modeled after Sandy Cheeks. She takes over the Poseidome Colosseum, prompting King Neptune to summon SpongeBob and Patrick to fight her so he can take it back. After gaining 15 golden spatulas, SpongeBob, Patrick, and Robo-Sandy face off in a battle match.

Description

Robo-Sandy has no difference in body shape from the real Sandy. The flower on her helmet is replaced by a bouncy antenna. The patch design on the suit is a bolt instead of an acorn. There are no colored stripes on her arms. Her eyes are green lenses and her mouth has a speaker. Under her head is a button that reads "BOOM!," which can damage her if it is struck in the third phase of the battle.

In Rehydrated, her design is altered with her mouth being formatted differently, made into a grate for a burning furnace. Her eyes are now metal white orbs with small green pupils, with rows of nuts and bolts lined up towards the said pupils. And, most notably, her tail's end now reveals a working furnace that emits fire from it.

Battle

The battle takes place inside the Poseidome, a large stadium with a full audience that includes a large scoreboard hanging over the arena. During the second phase, after Robo-Sandy's head hits the scoreboard too many times, she collapses and falls to its side, lying on one side of the arena up to the last stage.

First phase

Robo-Sandy will walk a few steps, before performing her basic attacks, such as an elbow slam, and a butt slam targeted to around SpongeBob's proximity. She will become temporarily stunned, and lift the player into the air from the force of the said butt slam, encouraging them to use Bubble Bounce before she can get back up.

Once the Bubble Bounce is successfully performed, Robo-Sandy's head will then detach from her body, and fly upwards to hit the scoreboard, getting electrocuted in the process. After two more points of damage done to her head, the scoreboard collapses off to the side, transitioning into the second phase.

Second phase

Once the scoreboard collapses, Patrick insists on SpongeBob switching turns with him during the second round, in which he agrees to do so out of vexation. During this phase, Robo-Sandy will become mildly more aggressive by performing the 'Old Clothesline Move' with her attacks.

When she slams herself in the arena, Patrick must perform his Belly Flop move, detaching her head in the same fashion as SpongeBob does before she can get back up.

The robot's head then flies off and falls to the ground harmlessly, with the robot herself standing up holding out her arms in search of her head while remaining in place. During this time, Patrick must pick up her head with his great strength and toss it into the exposed wires of the damaged scoreboard, causing the robot to become further electrocuted.

If Patrick does nothing while Robo-Sandy's head is detached, or whenever he throws it at the exposed wires to damage it, her head will eventually fly back to her hands and she will then reattach it.

Third phase

Patrick switches with SpongeBob during the third round, much to his dismay. Robo-Sandy will perform moves at a much more excessive rate and will use all her limbs to perform the 'Old Clothesline Move' on SpongeBob.

But this time as SpongeBob tries to dislodge Robo-Sandy's head with his Bubble Bounce like before, the robot will wisen up and grab her head to prevent it from flying off. However, she ends up temporarily swaying it, revealing a BOOM! button underneath that SpongeBob must use his Bubble Bash move to hit (though Robo-Sandy will eventually put her head back on). Hitting the button successfully on time damages Robo-Sandy and as her toss her head back onto her body.

After repeating this two more times, Robo-Sandy powers down and collapses to her defeat.

Game Boy Advance version

In the Game Boy Advance version, Robo-Sandy tries to stomp on SpongeBob somewhere not too far from Sandy's treedome. The objective is to avoid contact with Robo-Sandy during her leaps and to stomp on the robot's head to damage the helmet. When the robot's health bar has been depleted by half, Robo-Sandy will utilize more attacks, such as using her hands to attack SpongeBob and creating an electric field over her helmet to protect it from damage.

Abilities

Console

• Elbow smash: Robo-Sandy will slam her elbow into the ground just after she slaps her right elbow to prep the attack, creating a short shockwave of dust on the arena. SpongeBob or Patrick will get hurt if they come into contact with the wave.
  • In the remake, Robo-Sandy will always dash up to the player's position before performing the attack, making it come out faster at the cost of no longer having its shockwave occur.
• "Old Clothesline Move": During the second phase, Robo-Sandy will run to one end of the arena and slingshot herself across towards the opposite end, revealing springs that attach to her limbs that are flung towards SpongeBob or Patrick. She will only use her legs during the second phase, and then her arms as well during the third.
  • In the remake, Robo-Sandy runs to the edge of the arena faster, and recovers near-instantly upon reaching the other end as opposed to leaping back to recover.
• Butt slam: Robo-Sandy will make a great leap and slam herself into the ground butt first, which will automatically cause SpongeBob or Patrick to fly into the air with a high jump if they happen to be on the ground at a good-enough distance when she lands due to the force of the slam. She will then be stunned temporarily via having her head become near-loose as she wobbles while stuck sitting down. This period allows SpongeBob or Patrick to use Bubble Bounce or Belly Flop respectively, to plop her head off before she gets back up.
  • In the remake, much like with the elbow attack, the slam loses its dusty shockwave property in exchange for having it occur faster somewhat.
• Swipe: When SpongeBob or Patrick get too close, Robo-Sandy will perform a sweeping karate chop towards them, inflicting damage if not avoided and interrupting her current action.

Game Boy Advance version

• Hopping: Robo-Sandy will hop across three levels of ground during the battle. If Robo-Sandy lands on SpongeBob the latter will deal damage.
• Long chop: When her health bar has been depleted by half, Robo-Sandy may extend her left hand to hit SpongeBob, causing damage.
• Static Helmet: Robo-Sandy's helmet will form an electric field for a short period of time to protect it from SpongeBob's attacks after stomping on her helmet.

Trivia

• Unlike Robo-Patrick or SpongeBot SteelPants, Robo-Sandy seems to be mute, as she does not produce any verbal sounds during the battle, whereas Robo-Patrick screamed in his defeat, while SpongeBot taunts SpongeBob and attacks by screaming "kah-rah-tae."
  • However, during her taunt, she makes a small audible sound of some sort.
• Robo-Sandy is the only boss to actively strike when she gets too close to her opponent.
• In the initial versions of the Rehydrated remake, Robo-Sandy no longer taunts whenever she hits SpongeBob and/or Patrick.
