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. Arrogant octopus Squidward Tentacles, SpongeBob's neighbor, dislikes SpongeBob because of his childlike behavior.

SpongeBob is challenged by E.V.I.L. to make a delivery to their secret lair in 10 minutes or less; when Mr. Krabs gets trapped inside Pearl's new boat, he must pretend to be its engine to avoid being caught.
