## Basic Details

### Species

Plankton

**Plankerton** is a minor supporting character in Around the Clock at Bikini Bottom. He is an alternate dimension copy of Plankton. He is never seen but his voice is heard in the One Night With Krussy minigame.

## History

As Plankton slept, he dreamed that he enlisted the help of an alternate dimension copy of him, known as Plankerton. They then made a deal, they would switch dimensions, Plankton would go to Buckoweenie Bottom, break into the Krussy Krab, and steal Mr. Krussy's (the alternate-dimension version of Mr. Krabs,) secret formula and once he did that, Plankerton would steal Mr. Krabs' secret formula in Bikini Bottom. However, Mr. Krussy discovered the scheme and he and other alternate dimension copies attempted to kill Plankton. Before they entered the restaurant, however, Plankerton called Plankton and explained the security system and how to keep Krussy and others at bay. He then told Plankton he was working on breaking him out. Plankton managed to hold off Krussy and others until 6AM but woke up from his dream before the deal with Plankerton could continue.

## Behavior

Plankerton calls Plankton at the start of the level and explains how the Krussy Krab security system works, during the call, time doesn't pass and no enemies will enter the Krussy Krab making the player completely safe. If the player does not want to listen to Plankerton's message, a large "SKIP" button appears above the phone that will immediately end the call when interacted with. Once the call naturally ends or the player hangs up early, enemies will begin to enter the level and time will begin to pass.

## Trivia

* Plankerton's role in the game and how he talks to the player through the phone is a reference to the Phone Guy from the Five Nights at Freddy's series.

## Quotes

* "Hey, hey! Buddy, pal chum. It's me, your business associate, Plankerton. Uh, y'know I've got some good news and bad news. Well the good news is our plan to infiltrate the Krussy Krab has been a success. You're in there and have easy access to the Krussy Patty secret formula. The bad news is that Krussy may or may not have uh, figured out we're trying to steal his Krussy Patty secret formula. We should be fine though, I mean, he's not that big of a deal. He's just a big ugly crab, y'know. Like sure he figured out we're trying to steal his secret formula, so pfft. We'll be fine I'm sure. On the plus side though, the Krussy Krab is still locked pretty tight, so they may find it difficult to try and get in, so there's that... You've got your camera system to help you keep track of Mr. Krussy and his friends. As well as a couple other neat gimmicks I'll go over in just a minute. Firstly, you've got your camera flash ability, that lightbulb button down there. It allows you to blind and disorientate those bastards and in turn, keep them away from you. Unfortunately it drains a bit of your fusebox power, so be wise about how you use it. Secondly, you've got your status screen, MMM, I love the status screen, it's that button with that question mark, I dunno. It'll help you keep track of time, how much power you've got left, as well as door durability. Lastly you've got the powerbox. It's that big ol' gizmo beside you. Use it to recharge your power, but it can only be used once. Not to mention it takes like, 10 bloody seconds to charge the thing up, so be careful. Anyway that should be enough information for now- Oh, my friggin' head!... I'm going to get to work on busting you out of there. Good luck!"
