[1.1] Game Overview/Intro
Hello again, everyone! SuperOtakuAlex is back with another
walkthrough, this time “SpongeBob SquarePants: Employee of the Month”
for the PC! I’m lucky to actually have this game be able to run on my
computer’s model, as a few of my games are no longer compatible!
Anyways, SpongeBob SquarePants: Employee of the Month is a point-and-
click adventure game developed by AWE Games and THQ. This game
revolves around the characters that are prominent in Nickelodeon’s
SpongeBob SquarePants series. The game involves the adventures of
SpongeBob SquarePants and his journey to reach Neptune’s Paradise.

[2] SpongeBob SquarePants: Employee of the Month Brief Information
---------------------------------------------------------------------
-
[2.1] Plot
SpongeBob SquarePants and his friends are shown at a photo shoot, in
which they’re posing for their usual logo that is shown with the
franchise most often. There’s a mail call for Mr. Krabs, in which he
opens an envelope with two free tickets to Neptune’s Paradise, a
local theme park. Because he’s not going to use them and who could
never pass up something free, Mr. Krabs gives them to SpongeBob as a
reward for being Employee of the Month again, which declares him
“Employee of the Year”. Together with his best friend Patrick,
SpongeBob can’t wait to get to Neptune’s Paradise.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
-
[2.2] Gameplay
On the main game screen, you use the mouse to move and pick up things
by clicking around your surroundings. By clicking anywhere, SpongeBob
will walk to that spot, but clicking multiple times makes SpongeBob
run. The cursor is a yellow hand, which turns green and points a
certain way if you are able to go inside a building or travel
somewhere else.
At the top left of the screen is a chest, which holds your inventory
inside bubbles. Needed items can be dragged out and used. At the top
right is a telescope, which shows you a map of the area you’re in and
the area around it. When a new area is unlocked, the telescope moves
to the center of the screen and the area unlocked becomes colored on
the map. You can find out where SpongeBob is as represented by
himself on the map.
In point-and-click games, half the fun is exploring the environment.
If an object in the area is interesting, the cursor will turn green.
Left-click on it to hear what there is to say about it.
Press the Esc key and you’ll be brought to a game menu. From here you
can exit the game, resume the game, save the game, load the game, or
start a new game. You can also view movies you’ve unlocked, change
options (usually to enable/disable 3D shadows, text dialogue, and
change voice, music, and SFX volumes), or you can also check out the
Help section on some helpful “getting-started” hints.
Sometimes an object in SpongeBob’s inventory can be combined with
another object in the inventory, making a whole new object. These
objects can be given to people to advance in the game, or can even
interact with surroundings!
When the inventory is open, you can access the menu also by clicking
the notepad button, or there’s the Esc key. Or if you need a hint
from the French narrator (the typical narrator heard in the series),
he can provide you with one.
When talking to people (you’ll have to in order to advance in the
game), you can choose from a variety of things that SpongeBob could
say. There are usually 2 to 4 options, with 1 of them usually working
to advance the conversation. In reality, you can select any of the
options, if you want to hear other things people will have to say.
Some options can lead to new options in that particular context of
the conversation.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
-
[3] Characters
---------------------------------------------------------------------
-
[3.1] SpongeBob SquarePants
SpongeBob SquarePants is the main character of the game (and the
show). He’s a funny, generous guy that loves to have fun with his
friends and thoroughly enjoys his job. His chipper nature often
annoys others, but he’s happy to be himself and have an optimistic
outlook on life, regardless of any insults thrown at him. He’s won
Employee of the Month every month since he started working at the
Krusty Krab.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
-
[3.2] Mr. Krabs
Mr. Krabs is the greedy, penny-pinching boss of SpongeBob and
Squidward, and is the owner of the fast-food establishment known as
the Krusty Krab. He’ll do anything to get a quick buck (even if it
means scamming people or overpricing menu items!) and often will find
cheap, unsafe ways to do things. Mr. Krabs never passes up anything
that’s free!
---------------------------------------------------------------------
-
[3.3] Squidward
Squidward is SpongeBob’s sarcastic and pessimistic neighbor and
coworker. He has a good reason for his negative nature, after all,
he’s SpongeBob’s neighbor. Squidward has a passion for the arts and
is involved in nearly all forms of it. He dreams of becoming a famous
clarinet-player and getting far away from the likes of SpongeBob.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
-
[3.4] Patrick Star
Patrick is SpongeBob’s best friend and neighbor. While not the
brightest star under the sea, Patrick is a loyal friend and is always
there for SpongeBob when he needs honest advice. He does have his
sheer strokes of genius and isn’t shy to put his ideas out there,
even if they can be rather idiotic.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
-
[3.5] Sandy Cheeks
Sandy Cheeks is a squirrel from Texas that lives in an air dome in
Bikini Bottom. She’s so fascinated with sea-life that she chose to
live down there (of course, not without her astronaut suit and air
helmet). Sandy is a good friend of SpongeBob and the others and
provides them with more logical answers to their everyday problems.
She practices karate and the arts of science.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
-
[3.6] Mermaid Man
Mermaid Man is a retired, undersea superhero along with his “young”
ward, Barnacle Boy. Over the years, Mermaid Man has packed on a few
pounds and definitely shows his age, tending to forget things he was
doing and often succumbs to tricks of old age. He misses the action
of being a superhero.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
-
[3.7] Barnacle Boy
Barnacle Boy is Mermaid Man’s cranky sidekick who is also in
retirement. While not as old as Mermaid Man, Barnacle Boy can
definitely express his contempt for things that involve anything more
than just being retired.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
-
[3.8] Larry the Lobster
Larry is a lobster that is usually found lifting weights at the local
beach, Goo Lagoon. He’s very muscular and tends to show off his
strength to others, including ladies. While he’s a friend to
SpongeBob, he’d rather be viewed as an acquaintance, as being seen
with SpongeBob could doom his reputation.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
-
[3.9] Plankton
Plankton is a miniscule creature of evil. Or so he says. Plankton has
an obsession with the formula for the Krusty Krab’s Krabby Patties,
but has been unsuccessful in his attempts to get it. He wishes to
sell Krabby Patties at his restaurant, the Chum Bucket, and steal all
of his rival’s business.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
-
[3.10] Marty the Bus Driver
Marty is an easily irritable fish that works for Bikini Bottom
Transit. He doesn’t seem to hate his job, but more rather the
passengers he has to deal with, namely SpongeBob and Patrick. He
drives the bus that goes to Neptune’s Paradise.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
-
[3.11] Marlin the Wizard
Marlin is a marlin wizard that resides in Rock Bottom. He’s
responsible for the bad weather that seems to be brewing. Marlin has
a personal dislike for Gary Gulper, the TV station’s weatherman. His
name is a play on Merlin the Wizard.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
-
[3.12] Gary Gulper
Gary Gulper is the weatherman for WSEA TV, the local TV/weather
station located in Rock Bottom. He’s very arrogant about his fame.
Gary’s responsible for a weather-controlling machine, which seems to
infuriate Marlin the Wizard.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
-
[3.13] Jojo
Jojo is the repairman at WSEA TV. He’s a pretty relaxed guy and seems
to enjoy his line of work. Jojo has a hard time talking with the
employees of WSEA TV, especially since they don’t believe his claims
that the station’s antenna isn’t even broken. He loves Kelpsi soda.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
-
[3.14] Dame Mackerel
Dame Mackerel is a tourist fish from the English Channel that has
come to Bikini Bottom. She is worried about too much heat at Goo
Lagoon, which explains why she has a parasol. Dame is very kind and
polite.

A cowboy that lives in a shack called Ugly Shack located in Bottoms
Up. He lives next-door to a wealthy fish who accuses him of stealing
his golden coconuts. He’s a good friend of Sandy.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
-
[3.20] Tony the Bouncer
Tony is the bouncer that guards the entrance to the classy sea-food
restaurant, Sublime Seafoods, located in Bottoms Up. He’s usually
hidden inside his booth, but you’re in for a surprise once you see
him.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
-
[3.21] Nelson

Krabby Patty located in Bikini Bottom owned by Mr. Krabs. SpongeBob
and Squidward work here!
Downtown Bikini Bottom – Most of the city’s stores and industries are
located here, as well as some housing. The bus stop can be found
here.
Goo Lagoon – Bikini Bottom’s local beach with an ocean of goo.
Bodybuilders, tanners, and other residents can be found soaking up
and enjoying the sun. There’s “Ray’s Organic Tanning Salon” as well
as “Mussel Beach” for bodybuilders.

get many different items here, ranging from everyday necessities to
food all at a bargain price!

Bottom. SpongeBob’s Grandma can be found here, baking delicious
homemade pies.
=Rock Bottom Map=
Rock Bottom is the city located in the bottom of the trench after
Bikini Bottom’s drop-off. The residents here are pretty scary and
prefer to live in the dark, murkiness that is Rock Bottom.
Bus Station – The local bus station in Rock Bottom. Outside are
restroom facilities, a candy machine, and a bus stop.
WSEA TV Station – The TV and weather station located in Rock Bottom.
There appears to be plenty of weather problems here to report.

They hold cola-drinking contests sometimes.
Marlin’s Cave – A cave where Marlin the Wizard resides. Its exterior
is shaped like a wizard’s hat.
=Bikini Bottom Outskirts Map=
The Diner – A warm and cozy diner that many people go to eat at.
Besides the Krusty Krab, of course. This place likely offers
healthier choices. Wait, a whitish thing with a bit of dark meat on
the side? Er...maybe not so healthy.
Sardine’s Sundries – A knick-knack store owned by Nelson. Most of the
stuff here probably came from the 1960s and the era of peace and
love.
Home Lane – The street where SpongeBob, Squidward, and Patrick’s
houses are located. This lane is also known as “Resident Row”.
Sandy’s Treedome – Sandy’s house. When she decided to live
underwater, Sandy had a dome filled with air that was placed in
Bikini Bottom so that she could live there. Inside are a tree and a
comfortable yard fit for a land creature.
Jellyfish Fields – The local home of the jellyfish. Jellyfish Fields
is often where SpongeBob and Patrick go to “jellyfish”, which
involves catching the creatures in nets and releasing them.
=Bottoms Up Map=
Bottoms Up is an upscale city outside of Bikini Bottom. The residents
here are wealthier and can afford some of the fancier ways of living.
Rocket Crash – The crash site of Sandy’s rocket.
Oxygen Springs – The hot springs located in Bottoms Up. Because
they’re already underwater, these springs jet warm oxygen.
Waverly Hills – The residential area of Bottoms Up. Rich people live
in this area in large homes that suit their fancier living.
Sublime Seafoods – A five-star restaurant that the people of Bottoms
Up dine at. You must dress appropriately to get in. Luckily, they
give you a jacket if you don’t have one. The employees are easily
offended by cheap food, as expensive is the way to dine.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

[5.1] The Morning Shift
The game starts outside the Krusty Krab with you in control of
SpongeBob. Before SpongeBob can go to Neptune’s Paradise this
afternoon, he must complete his morning work shift. Enter the Krusty
Krab by clicking on the entrance. Inside, fortunately, there is only
one customer! But first, pick up the dirty plate from the table at
the left. At the right table is the only customer, who is waiting for
his order to be taken. Talk to him and he’ll say that he’s been
waiting to be served for what seems like ages. Select the second
option and SpongeBob will begin a conversation on Neptune’s Paradise.
The customer says he just came back from there and had a lot of fun.
Click the new second option and SpongeBob will ask how the customer
got there. The customer wants to be asked nicely, so select the new
second option. After SpongeBob has pleaded, the customer will refuse
to tell you because he’s starving and hasn’t been served yet. When
he’s brought his Krabby Patty, he says that maybe he will tell you
then. Walk to the back end of the restaurant and enter the kitchen,
which is the first door on the right. Pick up the plain Krabby Patty
from the grill, and then walk to the right side of the kitchen, which
should be in front of SpongeBob from the angle you’re looking at.
Here is the kitchen sink. Before we can serve the customer, we’ll
need a clean plate. Take the dirty plate from your inventory and drag
it to the sink, so that SpongeBob can clean it. With the clean plate
in your inventory, drag the plain patty over to the clean plate for
the main dish. However, we need some other ingredients. Exit the
kitchen and go to the salad bar beside the cash register. Pick up the
fixin’s, which consist of tomato, cheese, lettuce, etc. Add the
fixin’s to the plain patty and you’ll finally have a Krabby Patty.
Walk back to the front of restaurant and drag the Krabby Patty to the
customer. Now that he’s got his food, maybe he’ll tell about how he
got to Neptune’s Paradise. SpongeBob will ask, and the customer will
reply that there’s a bus stop in Downtown Bikini Bottom where a bus
travels to Neptune’s Paradise every day. With that information,
Downtown Bikini Bottom will be unlocked on the map. Just click on
Downtown when the map is accessed.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
-
[5.2] Two Broke Fools
Now that you’re in Downtown, you’ll notice that Patrick is already
waiting at the bus stop. Walk forward and go talk to him at the bus
stop. When first spoken to, SpongeBob will comment on Patrick’s new
camera, which he apparently won as first prize at the Bikini Bottom
Bikini Contest. Click the first option and SpongeBob will reply in
shock that Patrick had won a bikini contest. Patrick will explain
that he was the only male contestant, but the judges had complimented
him on his unique figure. Select the new first option and SpongeBob
will ask if Patrick has any bus tokens for the bus. Patrick doesn’t
have any and is worried about what they’re going to do now. Choosing
not to worry, SpongeBob promises that he’ll find some, while Patrick
saves their place in line. Pick the first option and SpongeBob will
ask if Patrick knows where he could get some bus tokens. Patrick
suggests he just buy them, but SpongeBob reminds him that neither of
them have any money. At that point, Patrick suggests that SpongeBob
just find some buried treasure, since the Flying Dutchman has buried
treasure at the Goo Lagoon according to him. After that information
is gained, Goo Lagoon is added to the map. You can talk to Patrick
more or just end the conversation. But before you go to Goo Lagoon,
head down the path to the left and you’ll come to a jewelry store.
Enter the store and talk to the owner. SpongeBob will greet the owner
and tell him that he has a very nice store. The owner will ask him if
he’s “yanking his chain”, to which SpongeBob says no and that the
store is really pretty. For being so kind, the owner will give you a
videotape. This videotape is a movie that can be viewed at any time
from the main menu screen. When you’re ready, leave the store and go
to the map. Select Goo Lagoon.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
-
[5.3] Larry’s Secret
It’s time to dig up some buried treasure! You’ll be brought to Goo
Lagoon’s parking lot, which has pits of goo (SpongeBob can slip in it
if he walks in it), as well as a ball and net for a quick game of
soccer. You can play with the ball, if you want, but you won’t gain
much from it. When you’re ready, walk towards the castle gate and go
to the right to get to Mussel Beach, where you’ll find Larry the
Lobster and other bodybuilders working out. You’ll notice that beside
Larry is a shovel and pail set. Perfect for digging! However, if you
try to take it, Larry won’t let you, as he’s not too keen about
letting people use “Ole’ Shovely and Mr. Pail”. There has to be some
way to convince him to let you use the shovel and pail. Talk to him
and select the second option. SpongeBob will ask if the shovel and
pail are Larry’s beach toys. Larry says they are, to which SpongeBob
asks if he could borrow them. Larry refuses, getting very protective
of them, as they mean a lot to him, apparently. SpongeBob tries to
distract Larry by saying there’s a mermaid that is looking at him.
However, Larry knows better than that! Pick the second option and
SpongeBob will ask how Larry got to be so big and strong. Larry
explains his weight training regimen, as well as his schedule, and
his diet-plan, which consists of healthy foods and NO Krabby Patties.
SpongeBob is shocked and decides that that type of diet is not for
him. Pick the second option and he’ll find out an important piece of
information. Larry will mention that the one thing he misses the most
are “Grandma’s Homemade Pies”. This unlocks Grandma’s House on the
map!
---------------------------------------------------------------------
-
[5.4] To Grandma’s House We Go!
Go to Grandma’s House via the map and enter her house. A cutscene
will be triggered that shows Mr. Krabs on his way to the Barg-N-Mart.
The narrator says that Mr. Krabs is apparently going there to find a
bargain. Back at Grandma’s House, walk into the kitchen from the
living room and talk to Grandma. Grandma will greet SpongeBob and
mistake him for Patrick (a possible reference to the episode
“Grandma’s Kisses”). SpongeBob exclaims that he’s not Patrick, but
SpongeBob. Pick the second option and SpongeBob will continue to
whine that he’s not Patrick, before finally giving up. He’ll then ask
what Grandma is baking. Grandma says she’s baking a homemade Urchin
Chip Pie that’s Patrick’s favorite, but she ran out of Sea Urchin
Chips. Pick the first option, and SpongeBob will tell her that he
could go to the Barg-N-Mart and get her some. Grandma doesn’t want
him to bother and says she’ll just feed the pie to seagulls later.
SpongeBob yelps and says that it’s no trouble, to which Grandma tells
him to be careful. This unlocks the Barg-N-Mart!
---------------------------------------------------------------------
-
[5.5] Smart Shopper
As you stand in the Barg-N-Mart’s parking lot, a fish will exit the
store wearing clothes that look very baggy on him and are oddly
similar to Mr. Krabs’. Talk to him and SpongeBob will point out how
big his clothes look. The fish will say that he has to get them
altered. SpongeBob wonders where the fish got them, and the fish
answers that he got them from Mr. Krabs for a great price and that
he’s selling all kinds of other junk inside the store. Head inside to
see for yourself. Walk past the registers to the back of the store.
Mr. Krabs will be standing there, completely naked. Talk to him and
pick the first option. SpongeBob will ask what he’s doing at the
Barg-N-Mart. Mr. Krabs says that he’s moonlighting, which means he’s
trying to get a quick buck by selling old junk. He asks why SpongeBob
isn’t on his way to Neptune’s Paradise. SpongeBob answers that he’s
working on it, and then asks if it would be alright to come in a bit
late for work tomorrow. Mr. Krabs tells him that he can’t stand
tardiness and that maybe he should’ve given Squidward “Employee of
the Year” instead of him. In fear of losing the position, SpongeBob
exclaims that he’ll get work on time tomorrow no matter what. Mr.
Krabs says good and then tells SpongeBob to scram as he’s scaring
away his business. Walk down the aisle in the far back and you’ll see
the bag of Sea Urchin Chips on the right shelf. However, SpongeBob
doesn’t have any money to pay for them! Go to the front of the store
and talk to Eugene the cashier. Maybe you could make a deal. Pick the
first option and SpongeBob will ask Eugene if they carry Urchin
Chips. The cashier replies that they do. Pick the first option again
and SpongeBob will ask about the cost. Eugene says he doesn’t know
and guesses a lot of money. SpongeBob knows he has no money to pay
for them, in which Eugene just says that he simply won’t get any
Urchin Chips. Select the first option and SpongeBob will explain that
he really needs the Urchin Chips and he’ll do anything to get a bag.
With that notion, Eugene says that if SpongeBob can wash his boat
outside that he’ll pay for the Urchin Chips. This next part is
simple. Go outside to the parking lot and click on Eugene’s boat, the
only one outside. Using SpongeBob, move him around the surface of the
boat to get the grime and algae off. When the boat’s clean, head back
inside and let Eugene know that you’re done. Pick the first option
and SpongeBob will let him know that his boat’s all clean. Eugene
gives the a-okay and tells SpongeBob to grab a bag of Urchin Chips
from the back aisle. Go to the back and get a bag of Urchin Chips,
but before you leave, pick up the bottle of cooking oil from Mr.
Krabs’ junk box. It will be useful later. Now that we have all we
need, head back to Grandma’s House via the map.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
-
[5.6] The Dutchman’s Treasure!
Go into the kitchen at Grandma’s House. A pie will already be set on
the table, but it really does need the Urchin Chips! Pick up the pie.
Grab the Urchin Chips and move them to the Chipless Pie in the
inventory. There you have it, Urchin Chip Pie! Head to Goo Lagoon and
go see Larry at Mussel Beach. Take the Urchin Chip Pie from your
inventory and give it to Larry. He will refuse to eat it at first.
Unable to handle the temptation of the pie, Larry eats it, but then
realizes he’s cheated on his diet and is probably going to get love
handles. He runs off to take a jog on the beach, leaving “Ole’
Shovely and Mr. Pail” for your taking. Pick up the shovel and pail
and head to the left out of Mussel Beach. Go back to the front of the
castle. The sign says “Ray’s Organic Tanning Salon”. Enter and you’ll
see that the castle is made of cardboard and that the “salon” is
really just the beach. To the left is a fish holding a parasol. Talk
to her and pick the first option. SpongeBob will ask why she’s
standing in the shade on such a beautiful sunny day. She will reply
that her skin is very sensitive, but she agrees that it is a
beautiful day. Pick the first option and SpongeBob will mention that
she talks funny and he wonders where she’s from. The fish replies
that she’s from the English Channel and she’s definitely not used to
the warmer waters of the Pacific Ocean. SpongeBob asks why she chose
to come to Bikini Bottom. She answers that she came to see the
sights, to hear the undersea tales, and even find buried pirate
treasure! It all seemed so quaint to her, but she has the hardest
time being in the heat. Once again, pick the first option and
SpongeBob will ask about the buried treasure she’s referring to. The
fish says that the buried treasure belongs to the Flying Dutchman,
who supposedly buried his most precious treasure on the shores of Goo
Lagoon. Walk towards the beach and talk to Ray, the orange manta
tanning in the sun. Pick the second option and SpongeBob will ask if
he can borrow Ray’s sunscreen, as he doesn’t really think it’s
working for him. Ray responds that he doesn’t use it anymore and
would rather amplify the sun’s rays and continue to achieve the
highest level of tan. SpongeBob suggests he use cooking oil, to which
Ray finds that to be a great idea. He says that if you give him
cooking oil, he’ll trade you his sunscreen for it. Give him the
cooking oil from your inventory and Ray will be eager to get his tan
on. Take the sunscreen and bring it to Dame Mackerel, the lady by the
entrance. Give her the sunscreen and SpongeBob will let her know that
it’s industrial-strength SPF 100. Dame thanks him and takes it,
letting him know that he can borrow her parasol. SpongeBob says he
wants to borrow her “umbrella”. Dame corrects herself and lets him
have it. Return to the beach and walk towards the left. You’ll come
to the Flying Dutchman’s ship that is mostly buried under the sand.
In front of it are patches of sand that look like they’ve been moved.
Use the shovel and pail to dig up those patches until you find the
Dutchman’s treasure. Drag the shovel and pail to those spots and
SpongeBob will dig. Click on the treasure chest once you’ve found it
and inside will be... bus tokens? So much for treasure. But at least
you can ride the bus now! A couple will be added to your inventory!
Go to the map and head to Downtown to meet up with Patrick again. At
the bus top, drag the bus tokens from your inventory and give them to
Patrick. Patrick will thank SpongeBob and wonder where the bus driver
is at. Marty the bus driver will have come out of the bathroom and
mention that he shouldn’t have eaten those burritos for breakfast.
Talk to Marty and pick the first option. SpongeBob will ask where
this bus will take them, to which Marty answers that it goes to the
Ancient Mariner Valley where Neptune’s Paradise is. Pick the first
option again and SpongeBob will ask if they can board since they have
bus tokens now. Marty will say no on account of the weather.
SpongeBob counters that it’s a beautiful day, but Marty points to the
clouds in the distance, saying that the weather is just waiting to
get him and he doesn’t even have an umbrella to use in case of rain.
Give him Dame’s parasol and that should be enough to convince him
about driving the bus. Marty says that the wind is picking up and
it’s unsafe, besides the umbrella is actually a parasol. SpongeBob
will beg and plead to Marty to take them to the park. Marty sighs,
having a bad feeling about this, but decides to let them board
anyway. The cutscene shows SpongeBob and Patrick boarding the bus.
Patrick falls asleep and is snoring incredibly loudly, while
SpongeBob just gets out of his seat and starts being silly. The bus
driver notices that the weather has gotten worse, and before they
know it, they get caught in a whirlpool and spiral away from
Neptune’s Paradise. The whirlpool tosses them down into Rock Bottom,
delaying the trip further.
---------------------------------------------------------------------

[6] Chapter 2- Hitting Rock Bottom
---------------------------------------------------------------------
-
[6.1] Stuck... in Rock Bottom?!
The storm has really stirred up. Rain is pouring and SpongeBob has to
find out when the next bus will be available. Walk into the bus
station at the right. Inside you’ll find Marty sitting on one of the
benches and a notice on the bulletin board that says “All buses
cancelled until further notice”. Walk over to the receptionist window
and talk to her. Select the second option and SpongeBob will ask when
the next bus is scheduled to leave. The receptionist says that all
buses are cancelled due to inclement weather. SpongeBob exclaims that
he has to get to Neptune’s Paradise, but the receptionist just tells
him too bad. Pick the new second option and SpongeBob will ask for
some information on Rock Bottom. The receptionist would be glad to
help, however she’s hungry and wants a Kelp Bar. SpongeBob groans and
says that he’s not some delivery boy and that he’s been running
errands all day. The receptionist ignores it and asks for a Kelp Bar
and not to let it get mushy. Unfortunately, we don’t have any money
for the vending machine and the bus tokens would be useless. Head
back outside and walk down the road in front of you towards the
restrooms. By checking the manhole, it seems like a quarter might be
down there. Enter the restroom and SpongeBob will flush himself
accidently, but at least he’ll get the quarter after emerging from
the manhole. Walk back up the road and keep going to the left where
you’ll see the bus stop as well as the Kandy machine across the
street. Hurry to the Kandy machine and deposit the quarter by
dragging it to the machine. You’ll receive a Kelp Bar from the
machine. Return to the bus station and drag the Kelp Bar to the
receptionist. She’ll thank you and then asks what you want to know.
SpongeBob will ask if there’s anything to do in Rock Bottom. The
receptionist says that there’s not much, but there’s the WSEA TV
station where her sister works and that they give a free tour.
According to her, the station is down the street. This unlocks the
WSEA TV station on the map. Via the map, go to the station.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
-
[6.2] One Kelpsi Coming Up!
When you arrive at the station, enter the building. Inside the lobby
is Tiffany the receptionist, as well as the control room, the
broadcast room, and the newsroom upstairs. A funny side note is that
there’s a poster for SpongeBob SquarePants: Operation Krabby Patty
which was SpongeBob’s first video game. Anyways, go talk to the
receptionist. SpongeBob will greet her, to whom Tiffany replies by
welcoming him to the station, but unfortunately, SpongeBob is not the
repairman and due to some problems caused by the weather, the tours
are cancelled until tomorrow. Click the first option and SpongeBob
will say he just wants to check things out. Tiffany shakes her head
and says no one is getting past her without means of station
business, and seeing as SpongeBob has no tools, he doesn’t mean
business. Go back outside and walking around to the back of the
building. A cutscene is shown involving Patrick and Mermaid Man at
the local restaurant. They appear to be having a cola-drinking
contest. You’ll see how that unfolds later. Behind the building is a
fish that appears to be the repairman. He seems to be having some
trouble with the satellite. Talk to him and SpongeBob will greet him.
The repairman named Jojo greets him back and SpongeBob asks what he’s
doing. Jojo says he’s trying to fix the antenna, which SpongeBob
comments that it looks hard. Jojo says the hard part isn’t fixing the
antenna; the hard part is that it isn’t even broken! Pick the first
option and SpongeBob will ask why he’s fixing something that isn’t
broken. Jojo replies that he’s argued with the employees inside the
station that the antenna is working perfectly fine, but they beg to
differ and say that it isn’t working, which means Jojo is stuck
outside trying to figure out how to get them to believe it works.
Pick the second option and SpongeBob will ask if the tools in the
toolbox belong to Jojo. Jojo says that he doesn’t own anything
because possessions drag a person down, and that the tools are merely
temporary companions that he has mutual respect towards. SpongeBob
asks if he can respectfully borrow them, which doesn’t sit too well
with Jojo. Jojo thinks it’s because he’s thirsty, but he’s willing to
make a deal. If you bring him a Kelpsi, he’ll let you borrow the
tools for awhile. Pick the first option and SpongeBob will ask where
he can get a Kelpsi. Jojo suggests you go to the Rusty Anchor, as
that’s where he goes after work. This unlocks the Rusty Anchor
location on the map. But first, head back to the bus station and walk
all the way up the road to where a fish is kicking a can by the bus
stop. Say, doesn’t he look familiar? Talk to him and pick the second
option. SpongeBob will ask if he’s met the fish before. The fish
replies that he’s never seen SpongeBob in his life, however, he seems
to know SpongeBob’s name. He tells you to quit badgering him about
it. Pick the second option and SpongeBob will comment on the can. The
fish says it’s a Kelpsi can, which is great for kicking. SpongeBob
asks if he can have it, which the fish says that he’d have nothing to
do while waiting for the bus. SpongeBob tells him that he can talk to
him, but the fish sarcastically says he’d sooner watch paint dry.
Click the second option again and SpongeBob will ask what he thinks
of the weather. The fish replies that he believes it’s voodoo and
then tells of a wizard named Marlin who controls the weather in Rock
Bottom. Unfortunately, nobody knows where the wizard lives. With all
the information needed, pick up the can. Go to the Rusty Anchor via
the map. In the parking lot, you’ll notice that Barnacle Boy, Mermaid
Man’s sidekick, is standing there. Upon closer inspection, Mermaid
Man is sitting on the ground. Talk to Barnacle Boy and SpongeBob will
say hello. Barnacle Boy says that he and Mermaid Man are a little
busy at the moment, seeing as Mermaid Man apparently bit off more
than he could chew. Pick the first option and SpongeBob will ask what
happened and that maybe he could help. Barnacle Boy is confident that
SpongeBob could take a bad situation and make it worse. Select the
first option and SpongeBob begs to know what happened so he can help.
Barnacle Boy says that somebody challenged Mermaid Man to a cola-
drinking contest and that Mermaid Man can’t hold cola like he used
to. He’s suffering from terrible gas and is unable to even stand up.
Barnacle Boy threw out his back dragging him to their “Invisible
Boatmobile” which is just behind Mermaid Man. Pick the first option
again and SpongeBob will suggest he help in getting Mermaid Man into
the boatmobile. Barnacle Boy explains that it’ll take a lot more than
their strength to get someone of Mermaid Man’s size off the ground.
Enter the Rusty Anchor and pick up the mug on the table by the wall-
mounted pictures. Talk to the bartender named Big-Mac and pick the
second option. SpongeBob will ask for a mug of Kelpsi; however Big-
Mac says he’s fresh out on account of the cola-drinking contest from
earlier. He says all they have is diet, caffeine-free Coral Cola with
a lemon twist. SpongeBob says that will do. Big-Mac says it costs a
dollar, but as usual, SpongeBob doesn’t have any money. Looks like
you won’t be able to get the soda with Big-Mac standing there. Pick
the third option and SpongeBob will tell Big-Mac that Barnacle Boy is
having trouble lifting Mermaid Man into their boatmobile and needs
some help. Big-Mac says he’ll help, since he doesn’t want his
customers scared off. He’ll ask if you can watch the bar, and allows
you to have as much of Coral Cola as you want, since it doesn’t sell
well. Awesome, now there’s no need to be a thief! Head to the kegs
behind the bar and take the mug from your inventory. Drag it to the
keg on the left and it will be filled with Coral Cola. Grab the mug
and combine it with the Kelpsi can in the inventory. Big-Mac will
return, which means you can take the beverage to Jojo. Return to the
WSEA TV station and go to the back. Give the Kelpsi can to Jojo and
he’ll remark that that was the best Kelpsi he’d ever had and thanks
you. SpongeBob asks if he can borrow the tools, to which Jojo accepts
and reminds him to respect the tools. Pick up the toolbox and you can
now pose as a repairman!
---------------------------------------------------------------------
-
[6.3] Respect the Tools, Man
Now that you’ve got the tools, Tiffany will let you in the back areas
of the station. Enter the building and drag the toolbox to SpongeBob.
SpongeBob will talk to Tiffany and let her know that the antenna is
fixed. Tiffany is delighted and tells you to head upstairs to the
newsroom to talk to Gary. But first, enter the broadcast room at the
left and you’ll find another door leading to where the filming is
done. Inside is Plankton. Talk to him and he’ll be less than amused
to see SpongeBob. However, he’s trying to advertise the Chum Bucket,
but there isn’t a cameraman around. Pick the first option and
SpongeBob will say he would help, but isn’t sure if he should aide
the competition. Plankton quickly lies and says that he’s filming a
Public Service Announcement to encourage kids to stay in school and
get a college education. SpongeBob questions it, but eventually falls
for Plankton’s lie, especially since he’ll get something in return.
Go back into the other room and click on the controls. Move the
camera by moving the mouse in different directions to focus on
Plankton. By helping him film the commercial by focusing the camera
on him, the “Public Service Announcement”, or the Chum Bucket
advertisement rather, will be recorded. Go back inside the broadcast
room when you’re done and SpongeBob will confront Plankton. Plankton
argues his point and rewards SpongeBob with a videotape to get him
off his back. With that, he leaves. Afterward, head upstairs. The
fish inside the newsroom is the weather reporter for WSEA TV, Gary
Gulper. Talk to him and he’ll go on bragging about his fame and that
SpongeBob is lucky to meet him. SpongeBob then returns to the point
at hand and says he needs to ask Gary something. Pick the first
option and SpongeBob will ask if Gary knows when the weather is
supposed to clear. Gary exclaims that it’s his lucky day as the
station has just built a weather-controlling machine. He declares
that once the machine is running the weather will always be clear in
Rock Bottom. Pick the first option and SpongeBob will say that if the
machine controls the weather then why does the station need him. Gary
can’t find an answer for that. Select the second option and SpongeBob
will ask if Gary knows why the weather is so bad. Gary mentions that
people in Rock Bottom believe the weather is controlled by a wizard
named Marlin, but he refuses to believe such nonsense. SpongeBob
wonders why the wizard would conjure such bad weather, but Gary
suggests that maybe he feels threatened by their weather-controlling
machine. Click the first option and SpongeBob will ask why they have
Jojo working out back. Gary groans and says that their weather
viewing machine, the Mega-Screen 2000 isn’t working correctly. It’s
showing a perfect weather zone without a single drop of rain.
SpongeBob thinks that maybe it IS a perfect weather zone. Gary
believes it’s a glitch in the system despite Jojo’s claims of their
equipment working properly. Go over to the Mega-Screen 2000 and take
a look. The perfect weather is shown to be near a strange-looking
cave. This adds Marlin’s Cave to the map. Go there via the map.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
-
[6.4] Calm After the Storm
You’ll arrive a bit close to the cave. Walk to the left from the
skull to where the sign is pointing. Enter Marlin’s cave, which is
shaped like a wizard’s hat. Inside are a huge curtain and a slot
machine. Approach the slot machine and click on the handle. The three
slots will eventually show three arrows after pulling the handle a
few times. These arrows show you the directions you need to take, so
be sure you right them down or memorize them. The curtains will open.
Head through them and you’ll come to a maze. Apply those arrow
directions in this maze. You’ll come to Marlin’s lair, not only is
Marlin here up the stairs, but also... Patrick?! Head up the stairs
and talk to Marlin. SpongeBob will say hello and ask if the fish is
Marlin. Marlin in turn asks SpongeBob if he is Marlin, thus spiraling
into a confusing conversation. He then asks if Patrick is Marlin, in
which SpongeBob corrects him. Marlin claims that he’s the only one
that can possibly be Marlin and that he’s not too happy about it,
seeing as Marlin’s a grouch. Pick the first option and SpongeBob will
ask why Marlin is so grouchy. Marlin replies that the reason is Gary
Gulper. SpongeBob thinks he’s a genuine guy, but Marlin says that
Gary is responsible for the weather-controlling device and that
controlling the weather is his job. In order to get back at Gary
Gulper, Marlin has sealed the vault door to the machine with his
magic. Pick the first option again and SpongeBob will ask if Marlin
is responsible for all the bad weather. Marlin responds that he’s
purposely clouding up the area to teach Gary a lesson for trying to
steal his job. SpongeBob exclaims that he really has to get out of
Rock Bottom and the buses are delayed until the weather gets better.
Marlin refuses to fix the weather until that weather-controlling
machine is destroyed. Select the first option and SpongeBob offers to
help, anything to get out of Rock Bottom. Marlin says that he’ll give
SpongeBob his magic wand so he can get in the control room and
destroy the machine. He’d do it himself, but the receptionist won’t
even let Marlin inside anymore. SpongeBob asks how to break it, but
Marlin has a hunch that SpongeBob is pretty good at breaking things.
Click the first option and SpongeBob will ask about the wand. Marlin
will give you the wand. Return to the WSEA TV station via the map.
Once inside, use the magic wand on the door. SpongeBob will break the
spell on the door and enter. The weather-controlling machine is to
the left. Approach it and click the lever to tamper with the machine.
A cutscene will activate involving SpongeBob and Patrick wrecking the
machine. Peeking out the back door, they find that the weather’s
cleared up and they can now get back on the bus! Back on the road,
Marty gets sick of their antics and claims that the bus is running </pre><pre id="faqspan-2">
out of gas, lying about the near full tank. He quiets Patrick with a
candy bar and parks somewhere in Bikini Bottom on the outskirts of
the city. Marty directs Patrick to the gas station near the diner,
and then drives off while SpongeBob and Patrick aren’t looking.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
[7] Chapter 3- Back to Square One
---------------------------------------------------------------------
[7.1] Somebody Order Ribs?
It looks like you’ll be on foot for awhile. Walk along the path
you’re on and you’ll approach the Diner. Enter and you’ll find
Patrick eating a sandwich at one of the booths. At the other side is
a dart board, which you can play darts on, as well as jukebox, which
can change the background music. Talk to Patrick and SpongeBob will
tell Patrick that maybe they’re not meant to go to Neptune’s Paradise
and that they should just go home. Patrick shouts that the person
he’s speaking to isn’t the SpongeBob he knows. Click the first option
and SpongeBob will ask what he’s talking about. Patrick gives
SpongeBob the pep talk of a lifetime, raising SpongeBob’s crushed
spirits. Patrick says he’s willing to help as soon as he finishes his
sandwich, at which point he then mentions that he saw Sandy working
on a rocket the previous week and that could be their source of
transportation to the theme park. Click the first option and
SpongeBob will agree that it’s a great idea and they’ll have to go
ask her. Patrick tells him that he’s going to finish his sandwich and
catch up later. Seeing as Patrick won’t budge until he’s done,
SpongeBob decides to go ahead and go. The waitress named Stella will
come out from the back and place a bag with Sandy’s picture on the
counter. Talk to her and SpongeBob will say hello and ask how long
she’s been working here. Stella says that she’s worked at the Diner
for going on 25 years and that they have the best grilled cheese
sandwiches in town. SpongeBob comments that she must be old, to which
she isn’t too impressed. Click the first option and SpongeBob will
ask if she knows a squirrel named Sandy. Stella apparently just got
off the phone with her. Sandy had needed a “recharge” and ordered a
slab of baby back ribs. SpongeBob remarks that he doesn’t like Texas
food, but offers to deliver her lunch as he needs to go see her
anyway. Stella tells him that Sandy’s in Jellyfish Fields, which
unlocks that area on the map. Pick up Sandy’s lunch and then head to
Jellyfish Fields. When you arrive you’ll have to walk to the right.
There are three jellyfish swimming around, and they can sting you.
They won’t deplete any health from you, so keep walking to the right.
Head right again to find Sandy. Give her lunch to her and she’ll
thank you for delivering it to her. She tells you to come to her
house to talk about the rocket, but reminds you to bring a water
helmet. This unlocks Home Lane on the map. Go there via the map.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
-
[7.2] Whoa...Freaky, Man!
Once you arrive, you’ll be standing in front of SpongeBob and
Squidward’s house. Go inside SpongeBob’s house and walk to where the
chair is. You’ll find that SpongeBob’s water helmet is being guarded
by a large sea snake. Yikes! It looks like it’ll have to be charmed
out by music. But first, walk over to the closet at the right and
you’ll get another videotape. These can be viewed via the main menu
screen or also the TV in SpongeBob’s house. When you’re ready, exit
his house and enter Squidward’s house. Go over to the TV and you’ll
view an ad for Sardine’s Sundries, a knick-knack store in Bikini
Bottom where they’re selling FREE Dream Glasses, which let you enter
someone’s dreams. After viewing the commercial, Sardine’s Sundries
will become available on the map. Go ahead and go to the store via
the map. Enter the store and talk to Nelson, the owner. He’ll ask how
your journey has been, in which SpongeBob says that he tripped on a
rock out in front and the items in the store are making him dizzy,
but he’s okay. Nelson says he meant his journey through life. Pick
the first option and SpongeBob will explain his Neptune’s Paradise
problem and how wound up right back where he started. Nelson will
explain that SpongeBob’s aura reads very yellow and asks if he’d like
him to read the bumps on his head. SpongeBob says no thank you and
asks what kind of store Nelson runs. Nelson says his store is here to
provide a car for the brain to drive in the fast lane of the universe
music. SpongeBob says it sounds dangerous. Pick the first option and
SpongeBob will tell him about how he needs to get Squidward’s
clarinet, but Squidward is fast asleep. Nelsons suggests he use the
Dream Glasses to enter Squidward’s dream and get the clarinet and
that the Dream Glasses are at the other side of the store. SpongeBob
asks how much he needs to pay, but Nelson says that his store doesn’t
accept money. Finally! Anyways, head to the other side of the store.
Here you’ll find the free Dream Glasses on the counter, but you’ll
also see someone oddly familiar. Go and talk to him. Pick the first
option and SpongeBob will exclaim that he just saw him at the Bus
Stop in Rock Bottom and ask him why he’s pretending to not know him.
Pick the first option again and SpongeBob will continue to antagonize
the man, who claims that he’s been mistaken for a movie star lots of
times. Well, anyway, pick up the Dream Glasses and head back to Home
Lane. Enter Squidward’s house and make your way upstairs where he is
in a deep sleep. Put on the Dream Glasses and get ready for a freaky
experience. You’ll enter Squidward’s dream. For some odd reason,
SpongeBob resembles Squidward, but at the same time doesn’t. You’ll
be standing on a road lined with variations of SpongeBob’s house,
leading up to a large temple at the end of the road. Run towards the
temple. When you reach the temple, click on the stairs to make your
way up. Inside is an auditorium where a huge audience is watching a
performance. Walk towards the stage and you’ll find Squidward. Talk
to him and SpongeBob will convince Squidward that he’s another
Squidward and that he’s currently in the left side of the brain,
where dancing is being held and that the clarinet recital is in the
right side of the brain. Squidward says he’ll just go over there, but
SpongeBob says no and that he’ll go over there, as he just needs the
clarinet. After Squidward gives up the clarinet, he’ll immediately
begin to dance, allowing SpongeBob to get the clarinet and leave. Now
that you’re out of the dream and have the clarinet, hurry back to
SpongeBob’s house. Approach the sea snake in the water helmet and use
the clarinet to charm him out of it. With the snake out, you can pick
up the water helmet. When you do, this unlocks Sandy’s Treedome.
Hurry on over there!
---------------------------------------------------------------------
-
[7.3] Sandy’s Rocket
Approach the front door to Sandy’s Treedome and put on the water
helmet before entering. Talk to Sandy inside and SpongeBob will ask
Sandy how she’s doing. Sandy says things are going fine except she
can’t find her oxygen tanks. SpongeBob asks what she needs oxygen
tanks for. Sandy replies that the oxygen fuels her rocket and that
it’s a much cleaner fuel. SpongeBob says he’ll find the tanks for
her, so they can go to Neptune’s Paradise. Walk to the other side of
the dome by heading to the bottom left. Check behind the flipped over
picnic table and you’ll find the oxygen tanks! Go back to the front
and enter Sandy’s tree. Give her the oxygen tanks and Sandy will
prepare the rocket. The cutscene starts which shows Patrick finally
showing up. SpongeBob is making sure the oxygen is making it into the
rocket, but doesn’t notice Patrick standing on the pump, stopping the
oxygen and building up pressure. SpongeBob says to hurry into the
rocket while it’s fueling. When Patrick gets off the pump, it jets
off, meaning the rocket didn’t get enough fuel. As they take off,
SpongeBob is already asking if they’re there yet and Patrick needs to
use the restroom. Unfortunately, the rocket runs out of gas, causing
them to crash land far from their desired stop!
---------------------------------------------------------------------
-
[8] Chapter 4- Bottoms Up!
---------------------------------------------------------------------
-
[8.1] No Jackets? No Service!
Well, it appears that the rocket won’t be going anywhere until it’s
fixed. Talk to Sandy and SpongeBob will ask if there’s anything he
can do to help. Sandy instructs him to head down the road and fill up
the oxygen tanks at the Oxygen Springs. The Oxygen Springs will be
unlocked on the map. Go there via the map. At the front gate, talk to
the intercom, which is the camera up above. Select the first option
and SpongeBob will say that he wanted to use an oxygen spring for a
moment. The intercom says he would be more than welcome to, but
SpongeBob is not up to par with the dress code, which requires
wearing a jacket. Pick the first option again and SpongeBob will
exclaim that people inside would be wearing swimsuits and not
jackets. The intercom says yes, but that they must wear a jacket to
enter, and then they may change. He suggests SpongeBob not think
about it too much and come back when he’s dressed appropriately. Go
ahead and return to the crash site to talk to Sandy. A cutscene shows
a fish garbed in cowboy clothing being yelled at by another fish,
most likely about the golden coconut he is tossing up and down. Talk
to Sandy and SpongeBob will ask if the rocket can be fixed. Sandy
says it’s nothing she can’t handle. Pick the third option and
SpongeBob will let Sandy know that the Oxygen Springs have a strict
dress code and they won’t let him in. Sandy says he’s wearing a tie,
but SpongeBob says he needs a jacket to get in. She suggests he go
visit her friend Cowfish Craig and see if he has a jacket SpongeBob
can borrow. He lives in the residential district, Waverly Hills.
Waverly Hills becomes unlocked on the map. Go there via the map. Near
the fountain in the front are two coconut trees. Click on the right
tree and pick up the coconut that falls. Approach the front gate.
You’ll notice that there is a pressure plate in front of the gate,
which requires some heavy weight to open it. Turn on the water pump
at the right. This will get the fountain running again. Click on the
fountain and SpongeBob will absorb the water. The added water gives
him some extra weight! Return to the pressure plate and stand on it.
Once the gate opens, enter and make your way towards the house made
of gold. Talk to Carlton Ritts, the owner. Apparently, Carlton is
very angry. Pick the first option and SpongeBob will ask why, seeing
as it’s a nice day and Carlton’s house is made of gold. Carlton gets
defensive and claims that it is HIS gold and no one elses. SpongeBob
says that he doesn’t want any of his gold. Carlton apologizes for
yelling and explains that his neighbor, Cowfish Craig, takes golden
coconuts from his yard, which has driven Carlton to stay outside and
guard his property. Pick the first option and SpongeBob says that
he’ll get the coconut back for him. Carlton says he’ll give SpongeBob
a King’s Ransom for getting it back. Return to the road and head
north towards Cowfish Craig’s shack. Enter and you’ll find him on the
couch. Talk to him and pick the second option. SpongeBob will ask why
Craig is taking Carlton’s coconuts. Craig gives his side and says
that the tree hangs over his yard and he decided to prove a point and
take it. He refuses to give it back because he’s put it to good use.
As a paperweight. SpongeBob says he’ll find a new item to replace it
with, which Craig agrees and tells him the coconut is down the hall.
Pick the third option and SpongeBob will ask Craig if he has a jacket
he can borrow. Craig says he doesn’t, but he would lend him one if he
did. He mentions that Sublime Seafoods gives a jacket to their
customers, but it must be returned after the meal. Enter the room at
the back and SpongeBob will walk cautiously. The floor near the entry
will give, but SpongeBob safely makes it to the pedestal where the
golden coconut is. Swap the golden coconut with the normal coconut
and head outside of the shack. Return to Carlton’s place and give him
the golden coconut. As a reward for returning it, Carlton gives you a
quarter. A quarter, really? Apparently, Carlton doesn’t carry a lot
of cash on him. With that, return to the crash site.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
-
[7.2] Dining Fancy Tonight!
Walk down the road to the right of the crash site and click on the
sign the rocket crashed through. The advertisement shows a phone
number for the restaurant, Sublime Seafoods. The number is 555-4444.
Walk back to wear Sandy is and enter the phone booth. Deposit the
quarter and dial the number. Someone at the restaurant will answer
and SpongeBob will ask for directions to the place. The person on the
other line answers that the restaurant is located on a cliff above
the Kelp Forest and it’s a breathtaking view. He also mistakes
SpongeBob for a woman twice before finally getting correct. They both
hang up afterward after he apologizes. Sublime Seafoods will be
unlocked on the map. Go there and you’ll be at the security gate.
Talk to Tony the Bouncer inside the booth. He says that SpongeBob
isn’t allowed in without an invitation, since the restaurant is
hosting an exclusive party to celebrate their new catchy slogan.
After some back-and-forth talk, the Bouncer will get angry and decide
to come out. Sure, he’s small, but he means business. No invitation,
no entry to the restaurant. Go to the right and you’ll find Timmy, an
entrepreneur walking around in the mezzanine. Talk to him and
SpongeBob will notice business is slow. Timmy says it should pick up
at the party tonight and he was given an invitation as a prize to one
lucky winner. However, they have to answer a trivia question for
Timmy. Click the second option and SpongeBob will ask what’s required
in the contest. Timmy says that SpongeBob must find out Sublime
Seafoods’ new slogan and tell him what it is. Head to the right of
the mezzanine and you’ll find Look Out Point. You can use the
binoculars to get a good look at the restaurant and its slogan. Using
the mouse to move, focus on the restaurant’s sign, with its slogan
below. “Sublime Seafoods...Tastes like chicken!” Return to Timmy and
tell him the slogan. You’ll have won the invitation! Walk back to the
security gate and present the invitation to Tony. Tony will grant you
entry. Walk up the long pathway to the entrance and enter the
restaurant. Talk to Shapiro the Maitre’d. Pick the second option and
SpongeBob will show Shapiro his invitation. Seeing as SpongeBob’s not
dressed appropriately, Shapiro tells him to go see Lisa to get a
jacket. Talk to Lisa the Coat Check Girl to get a jacket. However,
you can’t leave with the jacket. Its purpose is to be worn for the
best fine dining experience and nothing else. Once you’ve got the
jacket, talk to Shapiro and he will allow you to enter the dining
room. In the dining room, find the vacant table at the top of the
stairs and have a seat. The waiter will come to take your order. You
can find out what the specials are or cut to the chase. Pick the
second option and SpongeBob will let the waiter know he’s ready to
order. The waiter will ask what he wants and SpongeBob will reply
with a Krabby Patty. The waiter will become offended and toss
SpongeBob out of the restaurant in rage, forgetting to remove his
jacket, however. At least the jacket came out of that fiasco. This
will do for entry to the Oxygen Springs. Head there now.

[8.3] To Neptune’s Paradise!
Talk to the intercom at the front gate and he’ll finally let you in,
seeing as you have a jacket. When you enter, Patrick will be relaxing
in one of the geysers. But first, enter the locker room and open the
locker on the right. Inside is the fourth and final video tape.
You’ll see that familiar guy, yet again! Talk to him, you demand to
know what’s going on! SpongeBob demands to know why he keeps seeing
the fish everywhere, when suddenly a similar looking fish comes out
and the two converse. It was apparently his twin brother. Shortly,
another fish comes out, seemingly another twin brother. SpongeBob
asks how many twin brothers he has. The fish says he has four
thousand, two hundred and thirty two brothers, more or less, which
explains why the guy seemed to be appearing everywhere. The first
twin will have come and hung Patrick’s shorts on one of the racks.
Take them and go back outside to see Patrick. Talk to Patrick and
SpongeBob will ask what he’s doing. Patrick says he’s relaxing and
enjoying the geyser. Pick the first option and SpongeBob will ask how
Patrick got in without a jacket, since he had to run all over the
place to get one. Patrick claims he just climbed over the back wall
because he really had to use the bathroom. Give him his pants and
he’ll tell SpongeBob not to peek while he changes. Patrick gets
dressed shortly. Now, all that’s left to do is fill up the oxygen
tanks. Turn on the oxygen timer on the side of the geyser. Grab the
oxygen tanks and fill them up using the geyser. Neptune’s Paradise
away! The final cutscene shows SpongeBob, Patrick, and Sandy boarding
the rocket and riding towards Neptune’s Paradise. However, when they
arrive, nobody seems to be around. They approach the security guard,
who tells them the park is closed. SpongeBob tells them they have
free tickets, but the security guard points out that they’re for next
week. SpongeBob and Patrick break down in tears, since they worked so
hard to get there. The security guard says that the park is having a
private party for “SpringBoob SquirePin”. Sandy corrects the security
guard and says that it’s SpongeBob SquarePants. SpongeBob jumps up
excitedly, when the various people he met on his journey surprise
him. They enjoy a fun day at Neptune’s Paradise, riding the rides and
just having a good time. At the end of the day, SpongeBob is just
glad to have such great friends.

[10] Final Word
---------------------------------------------------------------------
-
This is the end of my walkthrough for SpongeBob SquarePants: Employee
of the Month. I absolutely love this game and always find myself
coming back to it. The back-and-forth work can be tedious, but the
game’s so short that it’s a good balance. And you’ve just gotta love
Timmy. ^^ He’s probably my favorite character in the game. Anyways, I
hope this guide is helpful to anyone who needs it, as I’ve had prior
experience with being stuck in this game.
Until my next walkthrough! Thanks!

[email protected]
When you e-mail me, don’t be rude, inconsiderate, or use profanity.
Also, have a subject for your e-mail so I know what it’s about. Don’t
send me spam, something unrelated to the guide, technical
difficulties regarding the game and/or console, or something already
answered in the guide.
I speak English primarily, so I won’t be able to understand an e-mail
written in Spanish, Italian, French (I only know the basics of the
language), German, or any other language. The e-mail should be
straight-forward and to the point. I don’t want an e-mail that is
off-topic. I also don’t want the e-mail to be written in horrible
English. No one will understand what this says, “so how you paly
gaem. Am stuk. Hallp meh.” You don’t have to be formal with the e-
mail, but simple, casual writing will do.
