Squidward

Squidward Tentacles is a supporting character in both Drawn to Life: SpongeBob SquarePants Edition and the Nicktoon the game is based on. In the game, Squidward is one of three helpers who can assist you in levels with the touch screen when X is pressed, with his helping move involving a clarinet performance that attacks enemies and breaks Squidward-marked boxes.
==Appearance==
Just like in the series, Squidward is a green foam-colored octopus, with two tentacles acting as arms and the other four tucked together as legs. His large cranium has eight spots on the top, and his attire typically consists of a single brown shirt.
==Story==
Squidward is first seen after SpongeBob is rescued from the Doodle Dudes, when he, Patrick and DoodlePants are observing the damage made to Bikini Bottom. Upon the condition that his clarinet - which was stolen by Doodlebob - is returned and house repaired, he agrees to go with them on their journey to restore Bikini Bottom. As the group reach Doodled Tower, Patrick is amazed by it's structure, but SpongeBob and Squidward recognize that's where the Doodle Dudes came from. DoodleBob approaches them, and Squidward demands that he receives his clarinet back. After a failed attempt by DoodlePants to communicate to him, DoodleBob escapes and leaves Doodled to fight the group.
Upon Doodled's defeat, the group realizes DoodleBob ran off into The Jungle, the group head there and follow his tracks before coming to a stop at a drawn Pyramid. DoodleBob is caught again drawing a rocket and submarine and battles DoodlePants directly, only to escape before he is 100% erased. Squidward and SpongeBob suspect that he escaped to either the Deep Sea or the Moon in Space. Squidward suggests going to the former as DoodleBob left the submarine, and that space leaves his skin chapped.
After Squidward assures SpongeBob that he's not afraid to be near the Flying Dutchman's ship, the Dutchman approaches the group and Squidward pins the blame on SpongeBob in fear. The Dutchman blames the group for setting the Doodle Dudes loose to take over his ship, and Doodle Patrick arrives to frame them even further. Squidward and SpongeBob attempt to set the record straight, only to make a run for it after Patrick mistakenly reveals that he drew DoodleBob back to life. Upon realizing he was tricked, the Dutchman later thanks the group for getting rid of the Doodle Dudes and tasks them with getting rid of Doodle Patrick.
The group arrives back at Bikini Bottom after Doodle Patrick's defeat, realizing DoodleBob went to the Moon and that they need a rocket. Sandy approaches them soon after, thanking them for rescuing her, and SpongeBob asks if they could borrow her rocket. She rejects his request, suggesting they use the Magic Pencil to draw their own rocket instead. They reach Bikini Doodle - a copy of Bikini Bottom on the Moon drawn by DoodleBob - and approach him before DoodlePants fights him again. DoodlePants is victorious and Squidward receives his clarinet back, but in his and SpongeBob's euphoria DoodleBob escapes as Patrick tries to warn them. After being defeated a third time, DoodleBob falls from the nearby Asteroid and Squidward attempts to erase him for good, still sore over his clarinet getting stolen. SpongeBob stops him from doing so, realizing DoodleBob just wanted some friends, and Squidward reluctantly lets him replace DoodleBob's mean face with a happy one to turn him good. The group bids DoodlePants and DoodleBob farewell and head home to Bikini Bottom.
