Starfishman's rocket is a rocket that appears in the video game Creature from the Krusty Krab. It is Patrick's main form of transportation throughout the game.
Description[]
In the console versions, it is steel gray with a green laser and a little window with a stick behind it. An unlockable paint job for the rocket colors it pink with a flame near a jet that is a pink color. One part of the rocket includes a panic button.
In the handheld versions, the rocket instead resembles a miniature version of Sandy's rocket from the eponymous episode.
Role in game[]
The first owner of the rocket was not Starfishman, but his arch-enemy, Dreaded Patrick. In the game, Dreaded Patrick kidnaps a starfish citizen and ties him to the rocket, and challenges Starfishman to rescue him in his secret lair. After passing through many floors in the elevator while fighting several of Dreaded Patrick's flat minions, Starfishman reaches the level closest to the citizen in distress. However, just as he is about to rescue him, Dreaded Patrick's minions appear behind him and knock him unconscious. When Starfishman wakes up, he discovers that he was tied to the rocket in the citizen's place, and he gets launched into space. On his way into space, he crashes into a piece of space rock, making a perfect circle right through it and having the rock fall down to Earth, where it falls on the Dreaded Patrick.
While in space, Starfishman manages to untie himself and equips the rocket with lasers from a space station. With them, he defends the station from an asteroid strike and sets out to destroy a Krabby Patty-shaped U.F.O. that has been terrorizing the aliens.
After his adventures in space, Starfishman flies the rocket back to Earth, falling asleep along the way. When he wakes up, he manages to press the emergency "panic" button seconds away from crashing into a building, stalling it. After defeating and shrinking giant Plankton, and encountering the giant Krabby Patty, Patrick later uses the rocket as his vehicle of choice for the race to win the Patty in order to wake up (except for the GBA version, where he uses a colorful rocket car instead)
