In the opening cutscene, Professor Calamitous appears on a reality show called "The Biggest Genius", claiming that after feeding fairies Krabby Patties, they emit a magical gas that, when combined with ghost energy, can be used as a form of fuel for his army of "Toybots," evil toy duplicates of abducted and scanned Nicktoons. Meanwhile, in Bikini Bottom, SpongeBob and Patrick are delivering a truckload of several million Krabby Patties to a processing plant. Upon their arrival, a robot sucks up all the Krabby Patties, and Patrick, unintentionally, in the process; SpongeBob gives chase, and eventually finds his way into the factory.After fighting his way through the factory, SpongeBob finds Patrick vacuum-packed like a toy. After freeing Patrick, they meet Tak of the Pupununu People, who claims to have been abducted and scanned. The 3 later meet with Timmy Turner, Stimpy, Rocko, GIR, Jenny/XJ-9 and Jimmy Neutron, who were also abducted. Together, the group meets ChadBot, Calamitous' robot assistant, and assist him in collecting "master models" of the various Toybots; after collecting enough of them, ChadBot allows Jimmy to contact Danny, who reveals that Calamitous' toy army has taken over his house to use the Ghost Portal's energy. Jimmy tells Danny and Sam to meet him and the other heroes at Amity Park's EvilToyCo outlet; once they arrive, the group uses large mech suits to battle the Saucer Men, before heading to Fairy World. Patrick frees Jorgen Von Strangle from a glass prison to destroy the Fairy Harvester, and the group leaves to confront Calamitous.
The heroes then unexpectedly enter The Biggest Genius' filming set, where ChadBot is revealed to be the winner. The host reveals to Calamitous that ChadBot's creation of the Toybot fuel formula and his collection of master models resulted in his win. ChadBot credits the heroes for his rise to success, before shaving Calamitous' mustache off using his prize.
