A square yellow sponge named SpongeBob SquarePants lives in a pineapple with his pet snail, Gary, in the city of Bikini Bottom on the floor of the Pacific Ocean. He works as a fry cook at the Krusty Krab. During his time off, SpongeBob has a knack for attracting trouble with his starfish best friend, Patrick.

Mr. Krabs uses Sandy's experimental growth formula on a Krabby Patty with disastrous results; SpongeBob creates a buddy out of bubbles when none of his friends have time to play with him.
