[edit] Story

It's been a year since SpongeBob, Danny, Timmy and Jimmy stopped the Evil Syndicate. When a far away island called Volcano Island is in need of heroes, three crabs get together and perform a summoning to call "The Nine" to free their land from the Mawgu. When the Mawgu overhears and attacks, he disrupts the summoning and all the heroes are scattered to parts of the island. However, two of the heroes (Danny Fenton and SpongeBob SquarePants) have arrived at the Summoners Rock together. The Wise Old Crab explains what's been happening and why they were summoned. Now, Danny and SpongeBob travel together to reach their base camp area. And along the way to saving the island, they must find all of their friends that have been scattered around the island.

• Great Carapace

A giant sand monster with a giant shell on its back. It's defeated by SpongeBob and Danny.

• Plant King Gorge (voiced by Bill Farmer)

A king of another clan on the island being controlled by the Mawgu's ooze. He is defeated by SpongeBob, Danny, Sam, and Sandy.

[edit] Trivia

• In Summoners Rock at one point, it shows Plankton's destroyed robot he fought them with in Nicktoons Unite! Danny and SpongeBob even point it out. Other references to levels in various versions of Nicktoons Unite! include Casper High School and Vlad's Castle.
• There are two references in the backgrounds of levels to the still popular (but cancelled) show Invader Zim. The first appearance is in the Fort Crabclaw level (Zim's ship), and the second is during the journey up to battle the Mawgu (Zim's house). This is strange because the credits in the game make no reference to the creator Jhonen Vasquez.
• In order to breathe while on land, SpongeBob, Patrick, and Squidward use one of Jimmy Neutron's inventions from the previous game (Nicktoons Unite!), as SpongeBob himself explains in the game.
• The names that the prophecies gave to the Chosen Ones are:

Danny Phantom = Ghost Boy
SpongeBob = Absorbent Yellow One
Timmy Turner = Three Headed Boy
Patrick Star = Chubby Pink One
Sam Manson = Night Girl
Sandy Cheeks = Deep Sea Squirrel
Tucker Foley = Control Freak
Squidward Tentacles = Whiny Cephalopod
Jimmy Neutron = Coconut Head

• Timmy says several times "Hey, this is like that show where those people are lost! What was it called again?" Referring to the American TV show Lost.
• Squidward is the only character in this game who didn't appear in Nicktoons Unite.
• In the game, Sandy is wearing her suit and air helmet despite the fact that, being on land, she doesn't need them.
