The core gameplay consists of collecting items and defeating robots that attack various areas of Bikini Bottom while traversing platforms and avoiding environmental hazards such as spikes and flames. Some areas require different characters to defeat, as each character has their own unique abilities. Players can control SpongeBob SquarePants, Patrick and Sandy. Switching characters in the console version requires the player to find a bus stop, using which the current character will switch to another character, and using it again will switch back to the previous character, allowing the player to choose two characters per level. The default character for the entire game is SpongeBob SquarePants; Sandy and Patrick do not share any levels as playable characters.

The game is a 3D platformer that requires players to collect three main types of items. "Shiny Objects" are the game's currency and can be used to pay tolls in the game area or to purchase Golden Spatulas from Mr. Krabs.' Golden Spatulas' are used to grant access to new areas and are hidden throughout the game, and can also be obtained by completing tasks set by Squidward Tentacles, as well as several other characters in the cartoon. Patrick's "socks" are also spread throughout the game, and he rewards SpongeBob with a gold shovel in exchange for his 10 socks. SpongeBob can also blow bubbles to form different shapes as special attacks/actions that can be used to develop further in the game, and can learn two new bubble actions from his bubble buddy as the game progresses.
