SpongeBob Saves the Krusty Krab 3D is a 2002 computer game, developed by a 3D Groove. 3D Groove developed other games for Nick.com, including Rocket Power: Big Air Mountain, Jimmy Neutron: Space Blast, Dora the Explorer: Backpack Adventure 3D, and Hey Arnold!: Runaway Bus 3D,

The game used to be impossible to play until, on March 31, 2015, 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).

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."

There were 2 versions of this game. At one point, both of them were available on Nick.com:

  • Downloadable Version - Playable characters: SpongeBob, Patrick, and Squidward. There was a Family Mode, and was full screen.
  • Free Version - Playable character: SpongeBob, and unlimited play.
