Mr. Krabs and Plankton both want to cater Jack Kahuna Laguna's legendary beach party, and neither will back down. Jack's solution: a cooking competition. SpongeBob is determined to win for the Krusty Krab but needs staff — and since Plankton's cousins won't work for free, SpongeBob recruits them with a promise of Krabs' pay. Players progress through five episodes, each with a rotating judge and a new Krusty Krab theme, training Plankton's cousins to master dishes like Krabby Patties and Fried Seaweed Sandwiches through a series of food prep mini-games.
