In SpongeBob: Krusty Cook-Off, players are tasked with preparing meals in customizable and upgradeable versions of Bikini Bottom’s restaurants. Players interact with characters like Mr. Krabs, Patrick, Squidward, Sandy, and more as they visit iconic locations like the Krusty Krab and Sandy’s Treedome. The game features 400 story levels as players work to become the best fry cook this side of SpongeBob’s pineapple.
The Switched is called the “Extra Krusty Edition” and features platform-exclusive features including unique cooking powers, challenges, and additional downloadable content. The game has been redesigned for its console debut, though no announcements have been made beyond the leap to Switch.
