Role in game
After defeating Tenderizer Bot, SpongeBob and Squidward are suddenly teleported to a factory full of Krabby Patties. Being oblivious to the surrounding, SpongeBob remembers the time when Squidward ate his first Krabby Patty. As he continues to describe the patty, Squidward screams and run away, hungry for a patty. After the robot was defeated, a satisfied Squidward returns to SpongeBob, commenting the taste of the patties. However, he pitied the sponge for forgetting the formula's location and the fact that he will eventually forget how to make one, which upsetted the sponge.
Battle
Console version
The battle starts with a little cutscene, showing the arena. After a while, the player gains control of SpongeBob, who has to reach the other end of the arena to ride on a Gum Pad. SquidBot will shot out minions to chase the sponge and will try to shoot bad music notes that can bounce of solid objects, making it hard to dodge. After reaching the GumPad, SquidBot will stop any actions and will immediately blocks with his tentacles, while occassionally peeking. SpongeBob must launch himself to the eye whenever the robot peeks to damage it.
After a part has been emptied, the robot will consume a bunch of patties and destroys parts of the arena, causing pipes to eject steam and ejecting SpongeBob from the Gum Pad and moving the platform that contains the Gum Pad to the other end of the arena. SquidBot will stretch its arms and rotates around the arena for a certain amount of time. SpongeBob has to jump over the tentacles or use the propeller attack to clash with the oncoming tentacle. SquidBot will eventually spawn minions and shoot music notes again. After reaching the Gum Pad, SpongeBob has to hit a sign to remove the water spray blocking the robot then proceed to hit the robot's eye.
When the second part has been emptied, the robot will eat and SpongeBob will be ejected once again. The last phase is the same as the second one except two signs have to be hit this time.
After the boss eats again, it will eventually explode, similar to Squidward's thighs in the episode where the fight is based on.
On the back of the platform where the Gum Pad is, a button can be slammed which drops a box that contains a power-up, which will increase the damage dealt to SquidBot.
PSP version
Like most of the fights in this version, the fight is the same as the console versions. The only differences are the absence of clashing with any attacks, making the tentacle evasion harder. However, the metal frame of the arena can be run on, making the travel faster and due to the physics of the PSP version, the music notes will immediately explode when it comes in contact to anything solid instead of bouncing off. Visually, SquidBot isn't shown eating patties and will instead explode because of the damage received from SpongeBob.

Trivia
- Like all bosses, the DS version have a different version of the fight, which has SpongeBob indirectly fighting the boss instead of directly damaging it.
- In the console version, when the third phase starts, the player can immediately run towards the Gum Pad before the platform moves, giving the player plenty of time to immediately hit the signs before they were supposed to. The player will also be immune to the arm attack since only the hand of the robot can damage the player.
