==Gameplay==
===Menu===
The menu screen is the first thing you will be brought to when you start the game. You can play (Play), be given a tutorial (How To Play), or go to a list of game settings (Options). Pressing "Play" will bring you to a game mode screen. The modes are Story Mode, Freeplay, or Mission Mode. After clicking on one of the modes, you will be brought to a save state menu, each with 3 slots available. You can start a new game, or if you've already played, you can resume your game saved on one of the slots. Pressing "How To Play" will bring you a tutorial in which you are given a mini-level that teaches you how to use the controls, fight enemies, etc. Pressing "Options" will bring you to a list of game settings where you can adjust the music and SFX volume, map the controls to your own personal liking, and more.
===Story Mode===
In Story Mode, you go through a cutscene in which SpongeBob and Patrick are acting like Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy, annoying Squidward, who is playing his clarinet, Clarry. Clarry is then stolen by the evil Clarinet Lord in order to punish Squidward for escaping Clarinetland and his sour ways. SpongeBob and Patrick overhear this and persuade Squidward to create his own alter-ego, Clarinet-Man, and get back Clarry. Out of desperation, Squidward does this and embarks on an adventure. SpongeBob and Patrick then tell Squidward that the Clarinet Lord dropped several lockers in certain areas along his way back to Clarinetland, in which going through each locker may lead him to Clarinetland and that one of them was dropped somewhere in Jellyfish Fields.
You then end up in Jellyfish Fields, having to go through 15 levels filled with enemies and platforming to move onto the world boss, King Jellyfish. In the first and second phases, you will have to avoid King Jellyfish's stingers and multiple Jellyfish that will emerge from himself. In the third and final phase, you will do the same thing, but you have to dodge the stingers faster and Jellyfish as well as Blue Jellyfish will emerge from King Jellyfish. After defeating King Jellyfish, you will move on to the next world. It goes like this for the upcoming worlds until The Keeper's stomach, in which you will face the final boss, the Clarinet Lord.
==Controls==
Squidward (Clarinet-Man!) can run or walk, depending on how much force is put into the left joystick/D-pad. He can jump as well, and perform two different attacks. The first one is called a "Sour Note", in which Squidward plays a sour note, or multiple sour notes (depending on how long you hold down the button). Distorted music notes will emerge from Clarry, which can hit enemies. The second one is called a "Clarry-rang", in which Squidward throws Clarry like a boomerang, which can hit enemies as well. Squidward can also crouch to avoid enemy attacks and can ground-pound to stomp on certain enemies.
