SpongeBob BFBB Rehydrated ~ Enemy Robots.

Tired of this certain robot kicking your yellow / pink / furry brown cheeks? well this guide will go through every single robot enemy you encounter throughout the journey of stopping the robot menaces.

Story

How they came to Bikini Bottom

The Robots came from Plankton's new invented machine known as The Duplicato-tron 3000 Which could make robots that would obey the owner's command, and also had the ability to copy someone, and make a robotic version of that person, hence we see Robo-Sandy, Robo-Patrick, SpongeBob Steelpants etc. Plankton decides to leave the switch on "Don't Obey" and The Robots end up going rogue and bash up Bikini Bottom. And so on, so on story stuff.

Spoilers!

I WILL BE EXPLAINING EVERY ENEMY IN GAME, OBVIOUSLY. IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO BE SPOILED, THEN DO NOT READ FORWARD AND CLICK OFF THE GUIDE!

Fodder

Fodders are the first robot variant that you encounter in Bikini Bottom, both cutscene and gameplay. You first encounter them in Jellyfish Fields.

Tubelets are the tenth robot variant that you encounter in Bikini Bottom. You first encounter them in the Kelp Forest. They appear in a vertical stack of 3, the bottom Tubelet spins clockwise when the player is nearby, and his inflatable dragon breathes fire constantly while the bottom Tubelet spins, the Tubelet will keep spinning, and the inflatable dragon will keep breathing fire until the player is out of sight of the Tubelets. The 2 Tubelets don't attack the player, only the ground Tubelet breathes fire from the inflatable dragon. If one of the 2 bottom Tubelets is killed, the Tubelet above the 3 will spin around and eventually create a massive shock wave. This will respawn the 1 or 2 Tubelet(s) that were killed by the player, if you kill all the Tubelets but you leave 1 or 2 of the Tubelets that are not at the very top, then they will all still respawn, but no shock wave will occur. As long as the top robot of the 3 Tubelets is alive, a shock wave will occur if the top Tubelet succeeds at respawning 1 or 2 Tubelets.

Abilities

- Bottom Tubelet constantly spins around clockwise, and his inflatable dragon constantly breathes fire until player is out of their sight.

Slick

Slicks are the eleventh robot variant that you encounter in Bikini Bottom, you first encounter the Slick in The Flying Dutchman's Graveyard. They're one of the biggest robots out of the other enemies. (bosses wont count for obvious reasons) Slicks can float on the ground they're on, and they cannot fall. If you smack them off a platform / ground area, they will float above the pit instead of falling in like most of the enemies. Slick enemies have a oil shield surrounding them, this shield protects them upon the first hit of any attack, after their shield is down they take 3 hits from melee attacks. (1 hit if attacked with the bubble bowl or cruise bubble) Sandy can Lasso the Slick enemies and easily vanquish them even if they have their oil shield active. The shield lasts permanently, until any attack hits it, as I've mentioned. Do not use any melee attack / stomp to take out Slick's oil shield, this will damage you! He shoots out a oil ball that when it lands, it will cause a massive puddle of oil, which the player will be skating around the map for a bit if he steps in this oil puddle. The oil ball also causes a splash when it hits the ground, which damages the player while the splash is happening. So be careful!

Abilities

- Has a oil shield that blocks the first attack you do.
- Slick's oil shield re-appears after a small period of time after you've destroyed it.
- Shoots oil balls that causes splash damage upon impact, and leaves behind puddles for a short period of time, you will skate across the ground for a bit if you step in these puddles.

Size: Large
Weapon: Oil Dispenser

- Slicks are the only robot enemies that have a shield.

Methods to take down

- You may just do 3 simple melee attacks on them to vanquish them. Make sure you do this if their oil shield is down!

- You can smack a enemy into another enemy to take both out. (if Slick's oil shield isn't active)

- Sandy can easily counter Slicks by Lassoing them, even if their oil shield is active! This helps killing them in 1 hit, without having to hurt the shield, then the Slick

Other Robots

There are still other robots, being the Chomp-Bot, Bomb-Bot and Bzzt-Bot but I will not be going through them sadly in this guide, it's because these 3 robots are upgraded Fodders with unique abilities. Chomp-Bot, just being a Fodder on 2 legs, Bomb-Bot being a floating bomb that follows you and explodes, and Bzzt-Bot shooting a green laser that slowly turns red, once red, the laser will start to damage you if you touch the laser in it's red state for too long. These 3 robots take 1 hit to destroy etc. So it isn't worth the time going through these 3, but at least I mentioned what they do, I guess the way to deal with these 3 is just do what you want? lol cause they're not too threatening like the other main robot enemies with cutscene intros, etc.

Epilogue

Well that's all the enemies in the game, hoped this helped you out, and a particular robot will not be dancing on your grave, enjoy playing it! If I get enough rates / Steam Award Stickers, I Might do a guide on the Mini-Bosses and the Main-Bosses of the game!


Kind Regards

[Are you unsure?]

Eh, all these tips came from my game play, so if someone like me does it, then might as well post it.

[your inner wolf]

Still, it's a good guide with good tricks on how to deal with most enemies. Great work!

[your inner wolf]

Good guide in general, although I have a few critiques. For example, you really undersell how obnoxious Ham-mer truly is, as his hammer attack comes out incredibly fast. It's to the point where I've found Monsoon, G-love, and Sleepy-time far easier to deal with without getting hit. You do NOT want to hit Arf-dogs with the Bubble Bowl, and if you're (ab)using the cruise bubble, you shouldn't see them anyways. Bzzt-bots are actually more obnoxious than the majority of Monsoon, given that their attack is more likely to actually harm you before you kill it (even if it's not by much). The one time Monsoon isn't a joke is when you can't kill it fast enough (the final level of the game).
