Story
It's been a year since Spongebob Danny Timmy and Jimmy stopped the evil syndicate. When a far away island called Volcano Island is in need of heroes, three crabs get together and perform a summoning to call "The Nine" to free their land from the Mawgu. When the Mawgu overhears and attacks, he disrupts the summoning and all the heroes are scattered to parts of the island. However, two of the heroes (Danny Fenton and Spongebob Squarepants) have arrived at the Summoners Rock together. The Wise Old Crab explains what's been happening and why they were summoned. Now, Danny and Spongebob travel together to reach their base camp area. And along the way to saving the island, they must find all of their friends that have been scattered around the island.

Trivia
- In Summoners Rock at one point, it shows Plankton's destroyed robot he fought them with in Nicktoons Unite! Danny and Spongebob even point it out. Other references to levels in various versions of Nicktoons Unite! include Casper High School and Vlad's Castle.
- There are two references in the backgrounds of levels to the still popular (but cancelled) show Invader Zim. The first appearance is in the Fort Crabclaw level (Zim's ship), and the second is during the journey up to battle the Mawgu (Zim's house). This is strange because the credits in the game make no reference to the creator Jhonen Vasquez.
- In order to breathe while on land, Spongebob, Patrick, and Squidward use one of Jimmy Neutron's inventions from the previous game (Nicktoons Unite!), as Spongebob himself explains in the game.
- The names that the prophecies gave to the Chosen Ones are:
Danny Phantom = Ghost Boy
Spongebob Squarepants = Absorbent Yellow One
Timmy Turner = Three Headed Boy
Patrick Star = Chubby Pink One
Samantha Manson = Night Girl
Sandy Cheeks = Deep Sea Squirrel
Tucker Foley = Control Freak
Squidward Tentacles = Whiny Cephalopod
Jimmy Neutron = Coconut Head
- Multiple times Timmy says "Hey this like that show where those people are lost! What was it called again?" Referring to TV show Lost.
- The majority of playing both Danny and Spongebob is 100% sure.
- This game is easier than Nicktoons Unite!
- Squidward is the only character in this game who didn't appear in Nicktoons Unite.
- The majority of playing Timmy is 1% sure.
