Sonic Wave Guitar - The player has to use SpongeBob's Sonic Guitar (his fifth and last move) to guide the wave throughout rings without missing one.

Platforming - The main levels of the game, the player, playing as SpongeBob or Patrick, has to navigate the level.

The game does not use a life system if the player dies, they are reverted to their last checkpoint, the game does not count deaths. Although very helpful in progressing and completing the game, upgrades are not mandatory to doing so. Once the player collects enough manliness points, they get an 'Upgrade Point' which can improve a skill's effect (or be used to increase the player's Max Health from three to up to six units). As the player collects 'Manliness Points' (represented by glowing weights), they will learn new moves for SpongeBob and Patrick which are needed to complete the game. There is also an upgrade system in the game. Although the player only needs to complete a level's main component in order to unlock the next level, it is not possible to complete the game only doing the main levels (though the player does not need to do all of the side tasks). Each main level and side task will give the player a Goofy Goober Token once completed, and the player needs these tokens to learn certain skills and proceed to the game. Boss enemies include the giant frogfish from the film, Dennis (who is fought twice), and King Neptune. Four levels involve a boss enemy that the player must defeat to progress to the next level. Each level contains a main objective and side tasks.

The player controls SpongeBob and Patrick, both of whom have their own unique set of abilities. There are 18 levels in the game that loosely follow the storyline of the film.

King Neptune's crown has been stolen by Plankton, and SpongeBob and Patrick must retrieve it from Shell City and save Bikini Bottom.
