'''''SpongeBob Saves the Day''''' is an online point-and-click game in which [[SpongeBob SquarePants|SpongeBob]] tries to help [[Eugene H. Krabs|Mr. Krabs]], [[Patrick Star|Patrick]], [[Squidward Tentacles|Squidward]], and [[Sandy Cheeks|Sandy]] have their "Best Day Ever."

==Gameplay==
SpongeBob shows Gary that he is celebrating his Best Day Ever, and Gary suggests that he start with Patrick. When SpongeBob visits Patrick, he must open up Patrick's rock and collect the [[Krabby Patty]] inside. Next, he must change [[Junior]]'s diaper by collecting a clean diaper off the head of a [[Jellien]] in [[Jellyfish Fields]]. He can then put the clean diaper in the trash, driving away jellyfish and letting him collect jellyfish jelly. SpongeBob must put the jelly on the Krabby Patty and feed it to Patrick. Patrick is satisfied after a trophy is delivered to him, unlocking the rest of the areas.

The game branches out into multiple paths, where SpongeBob can go to any area he wants. At [[Squidward's house]], SpongeBob must help Squidward find his clarinet. A banana can be found behind the pink pillow, and a food dish is sitting on a shelf. SpongeBob can break a vase by playing the TV, which reveals the [[Volcano Sauce]]. SpongeBob can enter Squidward's gallery and flip three paintings right-side up, and then talk to [[Patrick Not-Star]]. In Squidward's backyard, SpongeBob must feed [[Bunny Wunny]] the food after covering it in Volcano Sauce, driving him away from the garden and dropping a clarinet reed.

At [[Sandy's treedome]], SpongeBob must equip a water helmet from outside before he can enter. Items here include a ray gun behind a karate glove, [[Anchor Arms]] hanging on an exercise machine, a jar with a head and flea collar inside, and a shrinking potion. SpongeBob has to open the jar by first equipping the Anchor Arms, and then can give it to Sandy. To demonstrate her robot, SpongeBob must fix it with the ray gun and give a banana to the robot. This impresses [[Dr. Marmalade]], [[Lord Reginald]], and [[Professor Percy]], SpongeBob gets ice cream, and Sandy is happy.

Next, SpongeBob must visit the [[Krusty Krab]]. [[Mrs. Puff]] has lost her boat keys, and after SpongeBob finds them under a table, he can return them to her. Mrs. Puff leaves and her chair tips over, revealing a hydro-dynamic spatula. Inside the kitchen, [[Pearl Krabs|Pearl]] is crying over not being good at cooking patties, and needs a special spatula. SpongeBob has to open a door, revealing a giant Krabby Patty, and shrink it with the potion to reveal the port and starboard attachments, then combine them with the spatula and give it to Pearl. A [[Chum Bucket]] helmet rolls in, and SpongeBob must go outside. [[Sheldon J. Plankton|Plankton]] and [[Karen Plankton|Karen]] are outside with a tape of a Krusty Krab commercial. After collecting ''[[Bold and Brash]]'', SpongeBob has to give Plankton the bucket helmet, electrocuting him and causing Karen to retreat and drop the tape. After SpongeBob gives Mr. Krabs the tape, he is satisfied and gives SpongeBob a broken spatula.

Finally, SpongeBob must return to Squidward's house and add ''Bold and Brash'' to Squidward's collection. Patrick Not-Star leaves, having seen the full collection of Squidward's art, and SpongeBob can open a safe behind a painting. It contains the clarinet, which SpongeBob can combine with the reed and give to Squidward, who rewards him with a clarinet record.

With all his friends happy, they throw a party for SpongeBob at his house. SpongeBob notices the Gary is missing. First, SpongeBob must put Squidward's record on a record player, and use Mr. Krabs's broken spatula as a handle. This reveals Gary's food bowl, and SpongeBob has to combine Sandy's ice cream and Patrick's cookie to make an ice cream sandwich, then put it in the bowl. Gary, who had been trapped behind the wallpaper, is freed and SpongeBob celebrates while telling the player how long they took to complete the game.

==References to other episodes==
*This game's plot is loosely based on "[[Best Day Ever]]," as it centers on SpongeBob helping his friends on his Best Day Ever. Additionally, both the game and the episode use a plot of Squidward's clarinet missing its reed. In ''SpongeBob Saves the Day'', SpongeBob says that the reed looks like his tooth, while in "Best Day Ever," he pulls out his tooth for Squidward to use as a reed.
*While idle, SpongeBob may make his surprised face from ''[[The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie]]''.
*When using the wrong object, SpongeBob may say "That didn't work! We've been smeckledorfed!" "Smeckledorfed" is a word he invents in "[[Nasty Patty]]."
*One of SpongeBob's hints is "Time to go to work! Another day, another nickel!" Squidward uses this joke in "[[Funny Pants]]."
*A pair of anti-sea rhinoceros undergarments, mentioned in "[[The Camping Episode]]," appears on top of Patrick's rock.
*Patrick having a cookie in his back pocket is derived from the ending of "[[Dumped]]."
*SpongeBob describes the Krabby Patty as "one of Patrick's 3 AM Krabby Patties." Patrick is shown to eat Krabby Patties at 3 AM in "[[Graveyard Shift]]."
*Patrick earning a trophy for "doing nothing longer than anyone else" is first used in "[[Big Pink Loser]]."
*Patrick's [[secret box]] from "[[The Secret Box]]" and hooks from "[[Hooky]]" are found outside Patrick's rock.
*[[Kevin C. Cucumber]] appears chasing the [[queen jellyfish]] in the background of Jellyfish Fields, which references "[[I'm Your Biggest Fanatic]]."
*A [[Jellien]] from "[[Planet of the Jellyfish]]" appears at Jellyfish Fields.
*The smiley face on SpongeBob's calendar is a black-and-white version of the one on the "Great!" sticky note in "[[Bulletin Board]]."
*Inside Squidward's house is the pillow from "[[Squid's Visit]]," canned bread from "[[Squidville]]," and the eyelash sweater from "[[Dying for Pie]]."
*The shows on Squidward's TV are ''[[Fab and Fancy!]]'' and ''[[The Guitar Lord]]'' from "[[Tentacle-Vision]]."
*Paintings from the episodes "[[Out of the Picture]]," "[[Artist Unknown]]," "[[Bunny Hunt]]," "[[Atlantis SquarePantis]]," "[[Squid's Visit]]," "[[Not Normal]]," "[[Chatterbox Gary]]," "[[Not Normal]]," and "[[Unreal Estate]]" are in Squidward's gallery.
*[[Mini Squidward]] from "[[Squid's Visit]]" and the shed from "[[The Curse of Bikini Bottom]]" are in Squidward's backyard.
*Sandy's house contains her worm incubators and artifacts from "[[House Sittin' for Sandy]]," the giant soybean from "[[The Krabby Patty That Ate Bikini Bottom]]," her exercise wheel and Arm Cruncher from "[[MuscleBob BuffPants]]," [[Wormy (character)|Wormy]] from "[[Wormy]]," and the invention SpongeBob and Patrick build in "[[Chimps Ahoy]]."
*The canned socks from "[[Truth or Square]]" can be found in the Krusty Krab and SpongeBob's house.
*After getting the tape, SpongeBob may say, "I'll give this to Mr. Krabs for the lost and found." The Krusty Krab's lost and found is shown in "[[Lost and Found]]."
*The image on the TV at the Krusty Krab is a frame from "[[Mutiny on the Krusty]]," edited to add Krabby Patties.
*The party background at SpongeBob's house is from "[[Party Pooper Pants]]." [[Eels and Escalators]] from "[[Sailor Mouth]]," the chocolate bar from the title card of "[[Chocolate with Nuts]]," and a poster for ''[[The Dark Tide Rises]]'' from "[[SpongeBob LongPants]]" appear in the house.

==Errors==
*During the party scene, SpongeBob will continue to give the player hints about looking at the checklist, despite it not being available at the moment.
*At Patrick's house, SpongeBob may give the hint "Maybe I can check Jellyfish fields?" Jellyfish Fields is improperly capitalized.
*When SpongeBob enters the party, his line "It's so dark! Who turned out the lights Gary?" is missing a comma.
*SpongeBob's comment after hearing the record, "Oh Boy! This sure sounds...like Squidward" has the word "boy" incorrectly capitalized.
*SpongeBob's line "I'll help you find your video tape Mr. Krabs!" is missing a comma.
*Plankton says, "Nice try, Squarepants!" "SquarePants" is improperly capitalized.
*After getting the Anchor Arms, SpongeBob says, "These make any square as strong as a Larry the Lobster!" As Larry is a specific character, "a Larry the Lobster" is incorrect.
*Squidward does not capitalizes SpongeBob's name correctly in the line "Not now Spongebob, I lost Clarry, my precious CLARINET."
*Internal data refers to Mrs. Puff as "Ms. Puff."

Additionally, the Realistic Fish Head's icon is named <tt>JohnnyElaine</tt>, a fan-made name taken from Encyclopedia SpongeBobia.
