History VideoGame / SpongeBobSquarePantsCreatureFromTheKrustyKrab

* GoodMorningCrono: More like "good morning [[SleepyHead 7 times".]] Lampshaded when Patrick states that riding an out of control rocket is a bad place to fall asleep at.

* MightyRoar: Plankton gains one as a giant.

* RushmoreRefacement: At one point in "Revenge of the Giant Plankton Monster", Plankton uses his laser vision to re-sculpt Mount Fishmore in his image. For some odd reason, Mount Fishmore contains the busts of [=SpongeBob=], Patrick, Squidward, and Gary. However, keep in mind that the entire game takes place in a dream.

* YourSizeMayVary: The Giant Sized Patty is first shown to be much bigger than an average fish in the level named after it, but come "Revenge of the Giant Plankton Monster" , it's notably smaller than [=SpongeBob=] and Patrick.

* AccidentalHero: At the end of "Revenge of the Giant Plankton Monster", the Krabby Patty grabs on to Spongebob's plane without him really knowing what's going on. The following level. "It Came From Bikini Bottom" has him repeatedly escaping from Giant Plankton with the Patty, never really realizing why Plankton is chasing him.
** This is averted in the Game Boy Advance version, which shows [=SpongeBob=] rescuing the Patty from Plankton intentionally.

-->'''Plankton:''' I'm Huge! I'm Gigantic! I'm Vast! I'm- (sees fish about as big as him)...Huh?\\

'''Plankton:''' [[BadNewsInAGoodWay Well, It's still an improvement.]]

* BossOnlyLevel: Patrick's third level, "Rooftop Rumble" consists entirely of a series of boss fights against Giant Plankton. The fight lasts for a whopping '''five''' phases.
* BreadEggsMilkSquick: [=SpongeBob=] tries to break his fall by landing on that nice, soft, [[TheDreaded Alaskan Bullworm.]]
* BrickJoke: Plankton's story begins with him using a shrink ray to grow a krabby patty crumb (or krumb?) into a full Krabby Patty, kickstarting the main plot. In the intro to "Hypnotic Highway", when the 'doctor' states that the events of this game is the result of someone eating a Krabby Patty, Plankton states that he has had a crumb of it.

* ComicallyMissingThePoint: At the end of "Revenge of The Giant Plankton Monster", …[=SpongeBob=] sees Plankton, who is 50 feet tall and holding [[MacGuffin a Krabby Patty,]] that there's something different about him. [[DidYouGetANewHaircut New haircut?]]

* DarkHorseVictory: In "Hypnotic Highway", when the 'doctor' establishes that there the events of this game is the result of someone eating a Krabby Patty, [=SpongeBob=], Patrick, and Plankton points out that they ate a Krabby Patty recently and during the race they fight over on which one of them owns the dream. So, who's dream was it? [[spoiler:It was Gary's.]]

* DieselPunk: [=SpongeBob=]'s first level "Diesel Dreaming", where the structures are based on car parts. [=SpongeBob=] himself takes on an odd Ratfink-like appearance on the track, as do Patrick, Plankton, and Gary.

-->'''Spongebob''': I'll land on that [[BlatantLies nice, soft]] [[TheDreaded Alaskan Bullworm.]] ({{Beat}}) [[SuddenlySHOUTING ALASKAN BULLWORM!?]]\\

'''Plankton''': Whew, another bad dream. Happily, all is normal. I'm fine, I'm- [[OhCrap (Sees patty)]] [[ImmediateSelfContradiction in a great deal of trouble.]]

* ForcedTutorial: The anonymous Phone Guy in the earliest parts of Starfishman to the Rescue offers unskippable tutorials. It even gets [[LampshadeHanging lampshaded]] by Patrick himself.

* GiantSpaceFleaFromNowhere: The patty UFO that appears in "Rocket Rodeo" and makes small cameo in "Revenge of The Giant Plankton Monster". It only serves as something for Patrick to fight against, and it's never stated if it had connections to the patty Plankton grew.
* GodzillaThreshold: Plankton wakes up in his bed, then turns and sees the giant Krabby Patty, then he rushes over and turns himself into a giant and [[TheHunterBecomesTheHunted begins chasing the patty himself]].

* KarmaHoudini: [[spoiler:The Giant Patty]] in the ending of both Patrick [[spoiler: (where he avoids getting eaten by Patrick by knocking him out with the doors to Krusty Krab)]] and Plankton [[spoiler: (where he destroys all of the buildings that Plankton made and [[HopeSpot when it seems the Krusty Krab will be squashed,]] the Chum Bucket gets flattened)]]. Played with in that [[spoiler: in the real world, the patty was eaten by Gary.]]

* LevelsTakeFlight: The level "It Came from Bikini Bottom" has [=SpongeBob=] flying a plane, as pictured on the boxart.
* LimitBreak: Plankton has one in "Revenge of the Giant Plankton Monster", called the [[MightyRoar Super Roar]], which can destroy anything around his vicinity but requires collecting megaphones to use it.
* LiteralMinded: The level "[=StarfishMan=] To The Rescue" has the mayor ask Starfishman/Patrick to ''clean up the city''. Cue Starfishman collecting laundry detergent from defeated goons to make the city 'squeaky clean'. When Starfishman tells the mayor that he has detergent to clean the city, the mayor corrects him that [[AccidentalHero he already took care of Dreaded Patrick's minions.]] Starfishman then asks [[AndThenWhat what he's supposed to do with the laundry detergent.]]

-->"Warning! Size modulation insufficient--power failure imminent!"

** [[spoiler:In [=SpongeBob=]'s ending, he brings the Krabby Patty back to the Krusty Krab and chops it up into smaller Krabby Patties to give to all of the customers. When one customer complains that his Patty has relish, [=SpongeBob=] was about to take his request when he suddenly notices that everyone has Gary's shell on their backs. Including [=SpongeBob=] himself]].
** [[spoiler:In Patrick's ending, he celebrates with a party at the Krusty Krab. When Patrick is about to eat the Krabby Patty, it jumps out of his hands and begins to run away. Patrick gives chase, but the Krabby Patty slams the doors right on him, knocking Patrick out and causing him to see multiple Garys circling him]].
** [[spoiler:In Plankton's ending, he builds a Krabby Patty utopia in Bikini Bottom and boasts about his victory towards the Krusty Krab. But when the Krabby Patty appears right in front of him, it summons a rain of giant Krabby Patties that destroys every building Plankton had built. One Patty with Gary's eye stalks drops from the sky, bounces off the Krusty Krab, and crushes the Chum Bucket afterwards]].

* SheetOfGlass: At one point during the lengthy plane chase, one of the obstacles Spongebob has to shoot are two fish carrying a sheet of glass. Lampshades, as one of the fish says something along the lines of, "I knew this was a bad idea!" when it gets shattered.

* ShoutOut: Several, ''Diesel Dreaming'' pays tribute to Ratfinks, ''Revenge of the Giant Plankton Monster'' spoofs various kaiju films and B-movies, as mentioned above, and in the aforementioned level, there's an alien ship in a farm.

* ThoseTwoGuys: The two unseen announcers Rick and Dale, who only show up to provide commentary and their back-to-back banter during the race sequences in Diesel Dreaming and Hypnotic Highway. They also make a brief cameo in the Oyster Stadium section of Super-sized Patty.
* UnderwearOfPower: As Starfishman, Patrick alternates between a normal pair of blue shorts and a pair of tighty-whitey briefs each time he does his spin attack. While wearing the latter, he ends up invoking this trope as a result of him pretending to be a superhero.

* NewWorkRecycledGraphics: Despite being developed by a different team (but still published by THQ), this game borrows quite a lot of assets from ''[[VideoGame/SpongeBobSquarePantsBattleForBikiniBottom Battle for Bikini Bottom]]'', ''VideoGame/TheSpongebobMovieGame'', and even ''[[VideoGame/SpongeBobSquarePantsLightsCameraPants Lights, Camera, Pants!]]''. For example, the main character's models were ripped straight from the former two ([[ArtEvolution with some very subtle tweaks]]), some of the NPCs in "Diesel Dreaming" reuse the biker models from "Bubble Blowing Baby Hunt" in ''Movie'', and the boat models were originally from ''Lights, Camera, Pants!''.

''[=SpongeBob SquarePants=]: Creature from the Krusty Krab'' is a video game published by Creator/{{THQ}} and developed by Creator/BlitzGames based upon the Creator/{{Nickelodeon}} series ''WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants''. The game was released on the Platform/PlayStation2, Platform/NintendoGameCube, Platform/GameBoyAdvance and Platform/NintendoDS during October and November of 2006. A version for the Platform/{{Wii}} was later released during the latter month of that year internationally and in Japan (alongside the [=PS2=] version) a year later.

* SilenceIsGolden: The stinger in the American UsefulNotes/NintendoGameCube version, due to the audio file being missing (it is intact in the European release, though). [[GainaxEnding It most certainly doesn't kill the mood though...]]

%%* AdaptationalBadass: [=SpongeBob=]. Compare how you normally see him to... [[http://www.nwiizone.com/wp-content/uploads/2006/08/SpongeBob_Wii_6.jpg ...this]].

Containing things like [[DarkerAndEdgier edgy versions of the [=SpongeBob=] crew]], a trip [[WombLevel inside]] an Alaskan Bull Worm, and [[AttackOfThe50FootWhatever a giant Plankton wrecking Bikini Bottom]], this game is... interesting, to say the least. The game is also released in Japan for the Wii and [=PS2=] versions.

* OrWasItADream: After "Diesel Dreaming", the main characters tend to dismiss the previous events as nothing more then dreams. By the time "Alaskan Belly Trouble" is reached, this is evolved to InstantlyProvenWrong.

* {{Foreshadowing}}: In "Diesel Dreaming", the last race has [=SpongeBob=] go up against Gary the Snail. And in "Revenge of the Giant Plankton Monster", one of the sculptures presented at Mount Fishmore is Gary. [[spoiler:Go ahead and guess whose dream(s) it really is.]]

* ComicallyMissingThePoint: At the end of "Revenge of The Giant Plankton Monster", …[=SpongeBob=] sees Plankton, who is 50 feet tall and holding [[MacGuffin a Krabby Patty,]] that there's something different about him. New haircut?

* SilenceIsGolden: The stinger in the UsefulNotes/NintendoGameCube version, likely because of console limitations. [[GainaxEnding It most certainly doesn't kill the mood though...]]

* YourSizeMayVary: The Giant Sized Patty is first shown to be much bigger then an average fish in the level named after it, but in "Hypnotic Highway", it's notably smaller then [=SpongeBob=] and Patrick.

* DreamWithinADream: In every level intro, either [=SpongeBob=], Patrick and Plankton wake up in order, this goes on [[spoiler:until it was revealed to be Gary the Snail's dream.]]

* ArtShift: Various levels are depicted in differing art styles. "Starfishman to the Rescue" has a [[CelShading cel-shaded]] comic book style, "Revenge of the Giant Plankton Monster" looks like an old kaiju film, and "Diesel Dreaming" is in an odd surrealist DieselPunk style reminiscient of Ed "Big Daddy" Roth's Ratfink.

** This is averted in the Game Boy Advance version, which shows Spongebob rescuing the Patty from Plankton intentionally.

The game follows the adventures of [=SpongeBob=], Patrick and Plankton as they travel through their dreams. However, as the player goes deeper into the game, things become... [[SurpriseCreepy strange]]. The three protagonists each have their own stories that eventually intersect with each other.

* PaneOfGlass: At one point during the lengthy plane chase, one of the obstacles Spongebob has to shoot are two fish carrying a sheet of glass. Lampshades, as one of the fish says something along the lines of, "I knew this was a bad idea!" when it gets shattered.

* {{Kaiju}}: What Plankton essentially acts as in "Revenge of the Giant Plankton Monster", though they somewhat play with it by giving him a goal (mainly, tracking down the monster patty) rather than making him thoughtlessly rampage throughout Bikini Bottom. (although he does enjoy the destruction he causes) The level is a reference to several kaiju films, particularly Film/Godzilla1954 and Film/AttackOfThe50FootWoman.
