SpongeBob Saves the Day! is a SpongeBob SquarePants online game.
It was released in 2019.
Gameplay[]
In this game, the player must help make SpongeBob's favorite holiday the best day ever by doing tasks for his friends.
Patrick[]
The first person you help is Patrick at his rock. According to him, he's trying to earn a trophy for doing nothing. Junior is also with him, and needs a desperate diaper change. To get a clean diaper for Junior, SpongeBob must go to Jellyfish Fields and grab it from a Jellien. Once he gets the diaper, he must head back towards Patrick's rock and give the diaper to Junior. When he does so, Junior will fly away and the dirty diaper will be automatically put in his inventory.
Additionally, Patrick's rock can be opened, where there's a Krabby Patty. SpongeBob must head back to Jellyfish Fields and put the dirty diaper in a trash can, placed under a hive. Once he does that, the jellyfish surrounding the hive will fly off, letting him grab some jelly. When he heads back, he can put the jelly on the Krabby Patty, making a Jelly Patty. Giving the Jelly Patty to Patrick will cause a truck to drive by and give Patrick the "doing nothing" trophy. As an award, Patrick will give SpongeBob a cookie.
After this, SpongeBob is able to go to Squidward's house, Sandy's treedome, and the Krusty Krab.
Squidward[]
In Squidward's house, SpongeBob can visit his garden and his gallery. When talking to Squidward, he will say that he lost his clarinet. The clarinet itself is broken into two pieces. The reed and the body.
The reed is being held by Squilliam, who is in the garden. To get the reed, SpongeBob must give Bunny Wunny some spicy food, made from Volcano Sauce and a vegetable model of Squidward. To find the Volcano Sauce, SpongeBob must turn on the TV in the living room. Turning it on puts it on an episode of "Fab and Fancy!". He will wonder what else is on the TV, and will put on an episode of "The Guitar Lord". The vibrations of the sound will cause a vase on the TV to fall and break, revealing the sauce. The vegetable model is located on a shelf in the living room. After mixing the two food items, give it to Bunny Wunny, who, upon licking it, will be sent rocketing off and hit Squilliam, knocking the reed out of his possesion.
The clarinet body is hidden somewhere in the art room. There are various self portraits that are placed upside-down. SpongeBob must rotate them back to normal. Additionally, Patrick Not-Star is in the room, inspecting a painting. SpongeBob will ask what he's doing in the art room, and he will tell SpongeBob that he wanted to see the "largest collection of grumpy octopus self portraits in the world", but one painting is missing. The painting in question being Bold and Brash, located behind the Krusty Krab. Upon bringing it back to the art room, Patrick Not-Star will leave pleased, allowing SpongeBob to inspect the painting he was looking at previously. Underneath the painting is a safe that contains the clarinet's body.
Once SpongeBob gets the pieces together and gives the fixed clarinet to Squidward, he will give SpongeBob a record as a gift.
Sandy[]
Sandy is located in her treedome. Before SpongeBob can enter, he must grab a glass dome from outside and put it on. When inside, Sandy and her bosses will be infested with fleas. In order to get rid of the fleas, SpongeBob must go to the shelf to the left grab the shrunken head in a jar, which is wearing a flea collar. Then, equip the Anchor Arms to open the jar and retrieve the flea collar. Giving the collar to Sandy will make the fleas disappear. Once the fleas are gone, grab the Rubble Reverser Ray and use it on the Fully Automated Nutcracker. In order to impress Sandy's bosses, SpongeBob must head back to Squidward's house and find a banana, which is hidden behind a cushion. Then head back to the treedome and give it to the Automated Nutcracker. The Nutcracker will peel the banana, pleasing the bosses.
As an award, Sandy will give SpongeBob some ice cream.
Mrs. Puff[]
Mrs. Puff is located inside of the Krusty Krab. When talking to her, she will tell SpongeBob she lost her keys. The keys are lying under a table in the far right of the main hall. Upon giving her the keys, she will run out the building and knock over her seat, revealing part of the hydro-dynamic spatula.
Mr. Krabs[]
Mr. Krabs is also located in the Krusty Krab. When talking to him, he will tell SpongeBob that he lost the tape for the new Krusty Krab commercial. To get it, SpongeBob must go behind the Krusty Krab. Karen and Plankton will already be there with the tape. To beat them, SpongeBob must first help Pearl. When you do, you will obtain a Chum Bucket helmet. Dragging the bucket onto Karen will cause her to malfunction and drop the tape.
Once SpongeBob gives Mr. Krabs the tape, he will reward SpongeBob with a broken spatula.
Pearl[]
Pearl is located inside of the Krusty Krab kitchen. Upon first entering, she is seen crying hysterically. She states that she tried to help her dad by making Krabby Patties, but has burnt them all. To help her, SpongeBob must give her the hydro-dynamic spatula, which is separated into two pieces. The first piece is located under Mrs. Puff's seat. The second piece is in the closet, where the Giant Krabby Patty resides. In order to get the piece, SpongeBob must first grab the flask in Sandy's treedome, then head back to the Krusty Krab and give it to the Giant Patty. The Giant Patty will shrink, and SpongeBob can grab the other piece.
Once SpongeBob give the fixed spatula to Pearl, her tears will dry up, washing up a Chum Bucket bucket helmet.
Party[]
Once SpongeBob helps out all of his friends, he will return home, where everybody is preparing a surprise party, thanking SpongeBob for making their days the "best day ever". SpongeBob will then notice that Gary is not here. In order to find Gary, SpongeBob must first get a gramophone to work, using Squidward's record and Mr. Krabs' broken spatula. Once the gramophone is working, it will blow away a table, revealing Gary's food bowl. After this, SpongeBob must combine Patrick's cookie and Sandy's ice cream to make an ice cream sandwich. Putting the ice cream sandwich in Gary's bowl will cause him to burst out of the wallpaper.
SpongeBob will note how his friends are in one place and how they've all had the "best day ever". He then suggests they do it again tomorrow.

Unused content[]
An unused character dubbed "Yummer," who appears to be a humanoid monster with a realistic, smiling mouth and set of eyes, can be found on one of Mrs. Puff's sprite sheets in the Krusty Krab as well as another Krusty Krab sprite sheet featuring Mr. Krabs and Incidental 106, the latter of which contains what appears to be an alternate pose for Yummer, indicating that it may have had an animation at one point. In the game's library.json file, Mrs. Puff's first sprite sheet is defined as "t_tmpYummer," which is believed to be the name of the monster.
The creator of Yummer (whose original name was "Yum") later stated that Yummer was a 3D-modeled placeholder. The character gained a small cult following and was later referenced in Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl in the character data for SpongeBob as a joke by the developers.[1][2]
An unused sprite in Patrick's spritesheet features him without eyes.
Walkthrough[]
Trivia[]
- The golden jellyfish from Capture Craze reappears in this game.
- Plankton and Karen appear in this game, but they are the only main characters who do not come to SpongeBob's party at the end.
- To get rid of Plankton and Karen, the player uses a bucket of water to drop on Karen, making her malfunction and zap Plankton. Oddly, the sprite used for the bucket is a Chum Bucket bucket helmet, which Plankton and Karen use for their own evil deeds. Also, Karen is a waterproof computer that lives underwater, so water should not have this effect on her.
SpongeBob making the surprised face.
- One of SpongeBob's idle animations is makes his surprised face from The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie (which he also does in "Scavenger Pants" and Battle for Bikini Bottom: Rehydrated).
- The same chocolate bar from the the "Chocolate with Nuts" title card appears is SpongeBob's party at the end.
