## Synopsys

After learning from the Crew of the Flying Dutchman that the Legendary Spatula is being given as a prize to the winner of Neptune's Cooking Competition, Spongebob enters the competition and manages to get all the way to the finals, but during the second match of The Semi-Finals Triton's cousin Ouranios crashes the competition and chains up Neptune and Triton. Now it is up to Spongebob and his friends to defeat Ouranios and his minions so the competition can continue, because if there is no competition Spongebob can't win the Legendary Spatula "Edorado" fair and square.
