**Sandy Cheeks** is an antagonist in Around the Clock at Bikini Bottom, acting as the main threat in Sandy's Treedome. She is an obese and monstrous version of her normal self, who is best friends with SpongeBob and co.

## Plot

Prior to the events of Around The Clock at Bikini Bottom, Sandy began working on a flamethrower called the Nut-o-roaster, designing blueprints for it but began hibernating before she finished it, post-invasion, SpongeBob and Patrick enter her Treedome to attempt to get her to join them on their quest to defeat The Overlord only to discover she is in fact hibernating. They attempt to leave the Treedome only to discover the lock is frozen shut. They go upstairs to find Sandy fast asleep in her bedroom. They discover the Nut-o-roaster blueprints and begin building it from the various parts throughout the Treedome. After finishing building the Nut-o-Roaster, Patrick begins defrosting the lock only for the Nutalarm 1000 to go off and wake up Sandy. Sandy charges toward SpongeBob and Patrick but they manage to defrost the lock only to discover the door is still stuck, Patrick breaks the door down and the duo runs back to the Krusty Krab. Sandy is left behind in her Treedome and not seen for the rest of the game. Later in ??? when Mr. Krabs asks Patrick where Sandy is, he replies that "She... hibernation...".

## Behavior

Sandy spends the entire level asleep in her room. However, if SpongeBob and Patrick aren't careful, they can wake her up.

Actions that wake Sandy up include:

* Running within the boundaries marked by the yellow line.
* Being close to the Nutalarm 1000 and triggering its titular alarm.
* Patrick being loud.
* Stepping on fallen branches outside.
* Defrosting the frozen lock outside.

If the player does any of the things listed, Sandy will wake up and start chasing them on all fours. Even with SpongeBob being the fastest character in the game, she is able to catch up without breaking a sweat and instantly kills them on contact. The only way to survive after waking Sandy up is to defrost the lock and escape before she reaches the player.

## Trivia

* Sandy's hibernating form originally made its appearance in the episode Survival of the Idiots. She antagonizes SpongeBob and Patrick throughout the episode, semi-consciously thinking they were outlaws from her dreams named Dirty Dan and Pinhead Larry. Since part of this dream was her being a relentless sheriff, she went on to give the two an extremely hard time whenever disturbed.

* Sandy is unusually lethal here: unlike in the original episode, where she just beats up SpongeBob and Patrick and buries them in graves, she outright kills them in an animalistic fashion.
	+ Dirty Dan and Pinhead Larry's graves can be found within the level as an easter egg.
* Sandy is the fourth enemy that isn't a Jellien, Clone, or Doodle (Not counting Berry in his hide-and-seek mini-game). The first one encountered is Big Lenny, who appears in both the Tutorial and Squidward's Monument. The second one is the Weenie Hut Manager, who appears in Weenie Hut Juniors in the Goo Lagoon. The last one is the Nut-Alarm 1000, which appears in this level as well. Also, the Alaskan Bull Worm and the Parasitic Worm, which later appear in the final level, don't appear to be Jellien clones.
* While Sandy Cheeks is best friends with SpongeBob and Patrick, in this game and the previously mentioned episode, her inability to distinguish fantasy from reality during hibernation periods doesn't stop her from doing anything she'd later regret.
	+ However luckily, this won't happen, as long as SpongeBob and Patrick are quiet *this* time.
	+ Also, in the previous episode, she didn't kill them, but because SpongeBob and Patrick tore off her fur, leaving her 'naked', she used them as her outfit until her fur grew back.
* Others first thought Sandy would be a playable character in the game, due to her and SpongeBob defeating the Overlord and the Jelliens the first time back in the episode, Planet of the Jellyfish. However, it seems that she went from the protagonist to the antagonist in the second invasion of the Jelliens.
* For a split second after Sandy wakes up, she t-poses.Sandy t-posing.
