Characters
- SpongeBob: A happy yellow sponge who fry cooks at the Krusty Krab and goes to get King Neptune's crown. (Main Protagonist) His attacks are rather distance and firearm based. His disadvantage is some enemies (Spinner, Mini-Merv) are resistant to his attacks. SpongeBob is also physichaly weaker than Patrick so some areas he may need Patrick to cross.
Attacks:
- Karate Spin: Uses his red karate gloves to attack. His basic attack. When upgraded they become metal gloves and can reflect enemy projectiles back at them (Flingers, Poppers, Turrents, and Merv)
- Bash: Uses a red boxing glove to attack enemies directly above him (Flinger, Merv),push buttons and hit floating crates. When upgraded it becomes a spiked metal glove that will stick to things and detonate destroying anything in the explosion range.
- Sponge-Bowl: Rolls a yellow bowling ball that can press buttons, defeat enemies and destroy crates. When upgraded it becomes a spiked bomb that can destroy nearby things and detonate destroying and thing within explosion range.
- Sonic Wave: Uses a guitar and portable amp to play a heavy metal guitar rift that can be steered to destroy distant enemies, buttons, and crates. When upgraded, it becomes SpongeBob's "Goofy Goober Guitar" that plays a hard rock rift that can lock on to even further targets. It can only be used for six seconds.
- Patrick: A happy pink starfish who loves to be best friends with SpongeBob. (Second main protagonist). His attacks are primly physical. Patricks main disadvantage is he is slower than SpongeBob and some enemies(Flinger,Popper and Merv) are unaffected and harder for him to defeat. Patrick is used when brute force and strength is required.
Attacks:
- Star Spin: Spins his arms to attack. His basic attack. When upgraded it is a stronger spin that can reflect enemy projectiles (Flinger, Popper, Turret and Merv)
- Cartwheel: Does a fast cartwheel that destroys anything in his path. Is can be useful for destroying groups of enemies or making escape dashes. When upgraded it resembles an orange comet with a tail and shield that destroys anything that comes to close.

Crates
- Plan Z Supply Crate - These crates are easy to break open. Similar to the Wooden Tiki in BFBB.

- Steel Safe - Very hard safes that are tough to open. Only an explosion or upgraded technique can destroy them. Steel Safes can also be used to get to higher inclines by stacking them. Similar to the Stone Tiki in BFBB.
Enemies
As you play the game you will encounter different enemies which have different ways of being defeated.
- Jellyfish: Jellyfish roam many areas in the sea and can be very aggressive if anything gets in their environment they attack you by stinging you with their stingers and are very quick which gives you the strategy to quickly attack them before they zap you.
- Critter: It is the same as the Jellyfish but has a bucket helmet.
- Fogger: The fogger is a chubby enemy that has incredibly stinky breath and which is their attack. They breathe a cloud of stink that can make you faint and must fade away before it is safe.
- Slammer: The slammer is slim and armed with a hammer like tool and can perform an overhead slam attack which can knock you out and give you a headache upon impact they create a small shock wave.
- Flinger: The flinger is an enemy that floats above the ground in a safety float and is immune to spin attacks who attacks by spitting a glob of goo that once hit not only hurts you and makes the ground slippery and if you are ever to dodge it it will leave a puddle that lasts for an amount of time. Of all the Bucket-Heads Flinger seems to be the most oblivious and possibly stupid due to how it behaves when he attacks. Their goo can also be deflected with an upgraded spin attack.
- Spinner: An enemy with a guard worm that spins around to attack you. Nothing can harm them while they are spinning.
- Turret: An enemy that is in a trash can and shoot little rockets. Each of the rockets can be deflected with an upgraded spin attack.
- Mini-merv: A smaller version of Merv except he dosn't have the missle launcher.
- Merv: An enemy that floats above you and if you get too close it fires a lazer, but if you're far it will shoot a rocket that releases 5 little rockets that follow. Both Mervs are armed with a gravatational beam that repels the spongebowl attack. The rockets can be deflected with an upgraded spin attack.
- Popper: An enemy which fires 3 blobs or 8 at a time. If you get too close or if it is hit by projectiles, but not killed, it will burrow to a different area. This enemy has a weak point.
If you make it laugh, then run up to it, if you are fast enough, you can karate spin/star spin it.
- Enemy Spawner: While these enemies do not attack or move, they will keep generating enemies into your path, so it is best to destroy them. Careful though, they go out with a bang!
Bosses
- Frog Fish (I'll Let You Pet Mr. Whiskers)-The first boss of the game before you head to the Trenches. After SpongeBob gets caught by the frog fish, Patrick goes out to rescue him. The Frog fish will charge at Patrick, so he must dodge it and uses his cartwheel to knock him off the edge. After doing it several times, it sends out its tongue which will at first slam and then do a spin attack at the player. During the process, the frog fish spews acid bombs at you. Repeat these strategies until the boss dies.
- Dennis (Name's Dennis)- The hitman hired by Plankton to stop SpongeBob and Patrick. Throughout the fight, Dennis will use SpongeBob as a hockey stick and whack old toilets (which will release a toxic gas ring if it hits the ground) at Patrick. The player must either deflect the toilets with his upgraded star spin or throw melons at him. As Dennis' health decreases, he will summon spinners into the arena. Once the boss' health meter is empty, he gets squished by a boot but this isn't the last you'll see him!
- Deformed Dennis (Dennis Strikes Back!)- After SpongeBob and Patrick get King Neptune's crown and get a lift from David Hasselhoff, the boot that squashed Dennis returns along with Dennis! This time, he will throw several daggers at SpongeBob. Worse if players try to get close to him, he will just leap to a different spot. To beat him, just use your bowling attack or deflect the daggers using an upgraded spin attack. As Dennis' health decrease, he calls in slammers into the arena. Once the boss' health meter is empty, Dennis gets hit by an oncoming boat.
- Buckethead King Neptune (Turn the Tables on Plankton)- This is King Neptune, but he's under Plankton's mind control. He cannot be harmed in any way, as he will swat you if you get too close to him, or block your sonic ring guitar attack with his trident. For the first round, Neptune will shoot a jet of brown goo at you. During the part when he reloads his trident, hit all the mirrors with your karate spin. When Neptune is ready to shoot a laser at you, quickly run behind the frozen Mr. Krabs. Once the boss is stunned, use your sonic guitar attack and hit him. After Neptune loses a third of his health, he will fire an electric wave at the floor. Repeat the same strategy as the first round. After Neptune loses another third of his health, he will break the floor into ledges and call two flingers for backup. Use the same strategy as before as well as jumping the ledges and avoid the flinger's attacks. Once the boss health meter is empty, the bucket that controlled Neptune breaks and you win the game!
Trivia

Easter Eggs
There are 3 known "Easter Eggs" in the game, both in the "Shell City Dead Ahead" level on the PS2/GC/ version:
- An old license plate reads "HVY IRN", an acronym of "Heavy Iron", the game's developer.
- The robots from the preceding SpongeBob game, SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom, make a cameo in the game as rotting junk.
- In the "Welcome to Planktopolis...minions" level, when you get through the Monument-al Destruction task and you are facing the lava pit, drop down to the right lower ledge and keep going right. when you pass the corner, it will say "Heavy Irons best times" and tell you all the greatest Heavy Iron racing times.
