Level 2: Lonely Souls

You must hop on the parts of the bridge and ride the rafts. At the end, you find another candy machine and another coin, but that machine is empty too. You decide to look in the graveyard.

The final level of the game involves butt-bouncing on boxes and wooden floors to get a monkey wrench. The level ends with a boss fight with a dog made of iron called an Iron Dogfish. To beat him, you must spray steam at him to freeze him. While he is frozen, you must butt-bounce on him before he unfreezes. Keep doing this until he is dead. You win the monkey wrench and beat the game.

Epilogue

SpongeBob is in Shady Shoals fixing the TV. Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy give you the signed picture of them, and Barnacle Boy learns that friendship is priceless. Then everyone is in SpongeBob's house celebrating Patrick's birthday. The credits roll.

GameBoy Advance Version

The GameBoy Advance version of SuperSponge has less detail than the PlayStation version. Also, the spatulas are not a measurement of health. The health is separate, with 100 hp. Some enemies are redesigned, such as those cone-shaped enemies (they are yellow in the PS version and are happy looking; while in the GBA version they are red and orange with an angry-looking face).

Some details and power-ups from the PS version are absent in the GBA version (such as the squeaky boots).
