Role in series
"The Great Snail Race"
She races against Gary and Rocky. Squidward keeps Snellie away from Gary because of his hatred of him and SpongeBob.
After Gary is pushed too hard by SpongeBob, having his eyes and head gasket explode, Snellie goes back to him instead of finishing the race to see if he is okay.
In the end, Gary and Snellie seem to have fallen in love with each other and go off the track together.

SpongeBob's Truth or Square
