Storyline

SpongeBob SquarePants Season 9 is the long transition season: it begins with the show’s official move into widescreen HD, pauses around the second SpongeBob movie era, then returns with a different production rhythm, new supervising producers, and episodes that lead to the 200th story, Goodbye, Krabby Patty?

Season 9 is useful as a separate guide because it stretches from 2012 to 2017 and contains extreme sports, Sandy records, Patrick-Man, Gary’s toy obsession, SpongeBob losing his job, Krusty Krab business satire, Lost in Bikini Bottom, The Sewers of Bikini Bottom, Mall Girl Pearl, CopyBob DittoPants, Sandy’s Nutmare, and the frozen Krabby Patty storyline.
