Occasionally, levels feature crates with either SpongeBob, Patrick, or Squidward's face on it, which require their ability to break open. An icon in the top right of the screen is a visual indicator of the partner the player chose, which changes expressions depending on if enemies are close by, or if they're burned out from using their ability. SpongeBob's ability generates a square shield for the hero, Patrick hurls himself forward and stuns enemies in a straight line, and Squidward stuns enemies around the hero by playing his clarinet in a certain radius. Once an ability is used once, it can't be used again for several seconds. The game also gives the player a partner system, where they are given the choice to tag along with SpongeBob, Patrick, or Squidward, each with their own special ability that benefits the hero. If the player loses all their lives, they are sent back to the game's hub world. If all are lost, it will result in losing a life, and moving back to the last checkpoint they touched. The hero is given a set number of hit points, which can be upgraded to a maximum of seven depending on how far the player is in the game. Just like the other objects that are drawn in this game, power-ups are drawn by the player as well. ДЄlong with the hero's basic moves, there are also the addition of power-ups, ranging from basic weapons to defend against enemies and bosses, or gear for getting through previously inaccessible areas. These moves are used to do things like break crates, push buttons, and attack enemies. They are given the ability to jump, ground pound, and attack or 'karate chop', similarly seen in the show. The custom hero has basic maneuverability compared to most games. Throughout the game, the player is assigned to draw a variety of platforms and other objects that are required to beat the level, which are indicated when the player finds a blank easel within the level, or are sometimes assigned right away. At the beginning of the game, the player draws a hero with the DS touchscreen to play as for the rest of the game. Gameplay Дrawn to Life: SpongeBob SquarePants Edition is at its core a 2D platforming game, and one that's fairly similar to Drawn to Life.

SpongeBob Squidward and Patrick take off back to Bikini Bottom on their rocket ship, leaving the now befriended Doodlebob and Doodlepants to live life in the doodle version of Bikini Bottom. SpongeBob decides to erase Doodlebob's menacing face and draw a more happy face, resulting in a more friendly Doodlebob. Doodlepants chases him once again to another planet and defeats the giant Doodlebob with the magic pencil.ДЄs Squidward decides to finish him off, SpongeBob objects with a realization that Doodlebob only created his own version of Bikini Bottom out of a desire for friends.

They confront Doodlebob and after a fight, seemingly catch him, only for him to escape at the last second in a rocket ship of his own. Doodlebob had drawn a replica of Bikini Bottom on the Moon, for the supposed intent of confusion. ДЄfter chasing Doodlebob through the Jungle and Deep Sea, Doodlepants and the others draw a rocket ship to pursue Doodlebob into Outer Space. Krabs, who reopens the Krusty Krab which was closed from his absence. It's there where they recruit Squidward, who claims to have had his clarinet stolen by the doodle army (Nicknamed 'Doodle Dudes' in the game) and demands his house to be repaired. Soon after, an army of doodles summoned by Doodlebob arrives and kidnaps SpongeBob, prompting Patrick and the new hero Doodlepants to give chase.ДЄfter Doodlepants rescues SpongeBob, they arrive in Downtown Bikini Bottom, only to find it destroyed. The player is then assigned to draw their own character who they will play as for the remainder of the game SpongeBob and Patrick name the hero 'Doodlepants'. After Patrick informs SpongeBob about Doodlebob's return, they both find the other pencil that fell from earlier, and decide to draw a hero to help stop Doodlebob.

This drawing turns out to be Doodlebob, where Patrick unknowingly draws him trying to remember what the forbidden drawing was.Дoodlebob comes to life and steals Patrick's pencil, running off to Downtown Bikini Bottom to cause havoc. Patrick also remembers one drawing in particular that he's not allowed to draw, due to previous circumstances. One of the pencils lands on Patrick, and after a brief panic, remembers that it's a magic pencil that brings drawings to life. Similar to how the episode 'Frankendoodle' begins, an artist at sea accidentally drops two pencils in the ocean while working on one of his artworks.
