All characters have a simple attack and can use a "Burger Blaster" for a long range attack. A meter will constantly fill up which will allow for the selected character to enter Superhero Mode, which will allow a special attack to replace the Burger Blaster until the meter empties.

The game takes place sometime after the events of Sponge Out of Water. It begins with SpongeBob walking to the Krusty Krab and thinking he's going to have a "normal" day at work. Later, SpongeBob opens the front door of the Krusty Krab and then notices that Sandy and Patrick are coming along too. When Patrick, SpongeBob, and Sandy enter the Krusty Krab, Mr. Krabs, Plankton, and Squidward are getting chased around by random objects and SpongeBob states things are going not normal at all. SpongeBob thinks it's Plankton causing this, but suddenly, Bubbles (voiced by Jeff Bennett) comes out of a space triangle and tells SpongeBob and his friends that Plankton isn't responsible and explains that someone is using the last page of the magic book to make weird things happen (while the book was destroyed in the film, the final page was not) as well making duplicates of the page. He then holds up a feather and writes in one of the clone pages he found, which suddenly gives SpongeBob and his friends temporary superhero powers that can save Bikini Bottom from a mysterious group of enemies someone created and recover the other clone pages. After tangling with Plankton's Giant Robot and Squidasaurus Rex, SpongeBob and his friends discover that SpongeBob is the one who caused the not normal events, judging by the handwriting, as the last page somehow entered his mind. Plankton then writes on one of the pages they found, having him, SpongeBob, and the others to enter SpongeBob's mind to get the last page and wake SpongeBob up (in which he had fallen asleep when everyone else went into his mind). After the last page is collected, the gang exits SpongeBob's mind and begins to celebrate. Bubbles then appears again to get the collected pages and depending on the amount of pages that have been collected in the game, one of the two alternate endings is shown. If all pages are not collected, Bubbles gives the gang Plankton's time machine from the film so they can retrieve the last few pages. Then, a Patricksaurus comes and tries to kill the gang, so they quickly escape in the time machine. If all pages are collected, Bubbles gives them the time machine so the gang can relive any moment from their exciting day. Bubbles then invites the gang to watch him breakdance, to which all of the characters leave except for SpongeBob and Patrick.
