SpongeBob SquarePants Saves the Krusty Krab 3D is a 2002 computer game, developed by 3D Groove for Nick.com.
The game was impossible to play until March 31st, 2015, when Lost Media Wiki contributor Kobochat leaked a functional, downloadable trial of the game, available here (you may leave this page upon clicking the link - otherwise, the download will open in a new tab/window.) Later, TOMYSSHADOW removed the trial time limit and made the game playable on modern Windows computers, available here.
Gameplay
The summary of the game reads:
"The evil Plankton has stolen all the Krusty Krab's Krabby Patties and littered them all over the ocean floor. Mr. Krabs is terrified. Can SpongeBob collect all the Krabby Patties before opening time and save the Krusty Krab? Probably."
