Spongebob found the missing half of the Atlantean Amulet while floating in an over-grown bubble he accidentally got Patrick and himself into. They take it to the Bikini Bottom Museum to see what it is. Squidward believes it is the original part of the amulet, but is shocked when he sees the original half was still on the display stand where it should be. Sandy and Mr. Krabs tag along while walking in the museum. Squidward conjoins the two halves and the path to Atlantis is revealed: the path is a bus. The bus is powered by song, and the group starts to sing to get to
Atlantis .Once at Atlantis, the group is greeted by the Lord Royal Highness (or LRH). LRH gives them a tour around the Atlantean palace.
Plankton hid in the Atlantis bus on the way here. He plans to use the Atlantean weapons, the most advanced of all time, to destroy Spongebob and his friends, and take over the world.At dinner, Patrick accidentally destroys the oldest living bubble, and the group must run from Atlantean forces. Plankton is at the door waiting for them. He fires the weapon, but is shocked to see it shoots ice cream. LRH captures Plankton, believing he is a talking speck, and displays him as a replacement for the recently destroyed bubble. They go home and they live happily ever after.

Reception
The game, like the
TV movie of the same name, has received mixed, mostly negative reviews.An IGN review of theNintendo DS version was headlined "SpongeBob actually managed to be boring." Likewise, the most-criticized aspects of all versions was the clunky camera control, the lacklusterAI , and the annoying method of having to return to the start of the level to switch characters. It was also called "too short" and "too easy" for older gamers. [ [http://ds.ign.com/articles/833/833130p1.html IGN: DS: SpongeBob's Atlantis SquarePantis: Review] ] A review of theWii version called the game "second-rate", "sloppy", "tedious" and "really boring". The graphics were criticized for being "bland". [http://wii.ign.com/articles/837/837227p1.html IGN: Wii: SpongeBob's Atlantis SquarePantis: Review] ] ThePlaystation 2 version was criticized for the same reasons but were given a slightly lower rating because IGN says that Wiimote controls spice up the shooting games.
