SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom

SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom is a 2003 platform video game based on the Nickelodeon animated series SpongeBob SquarePants, developed by Heavy Iron Studios and published by THQ for the PlayStation 2, Xbox, and GameCube. A game with the same title was also released as a CD-ROM for PC, developed by AWE Games, acting as a minigame collection.

In SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom, SpongeBob must stop an army of robots created by Plankton's Duplicatotron 3000, which he plans to control to steal the Krabby Patty Secret Formula. After creating them, he realizes that the switch on his machine has accidentally been set to "Don't Obey". This leads the robots to seize control of the Chum Bucket and wreak havoc all over Bikini Bottom. Meanwhile, SpongeBob and Patrick are playing with toy robots, but they find themselves bored and wish they could play with real robots. Patrick uses his "magical wishing shell", believing it will make their wish come true the following morning. SpongeBob wakes to find that his house has been trashed by real robots. Outside, SpongeBob finds a disappointed Plankton, who lies and claims that the robots appeared suddenly and kicked him out. Plankton convinces SpongeBob to help him get back into the Chum Bucket by embarking on a perilous quest to find golden spatulas and get rid of the robots, secretly intending to regain control of them once back inside.
