The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie is a video game based on the film of the same name, which is a complement of SpongeBob SquarePants. It was created on the same engine as SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom on the console version of The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie video game.

The plot of the video game is very similar to the film. King Neptune's crown has been stolen by Plankton and SpongeBob and Patrick must retrieve it from where Plankton sold it to: Shell City. A few areas in the game are not seen in the film, such as the level "Drive of the Knucklehead-McSpazatron", where SpongeBob and Patrick must drive through Planktopolis to get to the Krusty Krab, and where SpongeBob and Patrick must escape Gooberland (their dreams) by following the Goofy Goober in the Patty Wagon.[1] And later again to the Krusty Krab 2, in the Patty Wagon (requiring several Goober Tokens to get it back as this is in their reality, not their dreams).
Console versions - The gameplay is similar to that from the previous game, Battle for Bikini Bottom. There are 18 levels in the game that loosely follow the storyline of the movie. There are many different types of levels:
Each completion of a challenge grants the player with a Goofy Goober Token. In order to learn the moves required to advance in levels and the stories, SpongeBob and Patrick will have to complete these side missions (like the extra driving and minigame challenges) to get these tokens. SpongeBob and Patrick have a few moves, and when they get a sufficient amount of points, they can upgrade a move (e.g. increasing their max health).
PC versions - The gameplay is similar to that of Employee Of The Month. The game consists of 8 chapters.
Game Boy Advance version - There are 6 worlds to progress through, plus many bonus levels.
the levels 8, 12, 15, and 18 are boss battles, 8 is the Frog Fish, 12 is Dennis, 15 is Dennis (rematch) and the final boss is King Neptune!
The PS2 version was noted by Play Magazine as "a full blown AAA platformer".
