he main characters (except Plankton) are controlled in pairs. Upon finding a changing station, the player can choose which two characters to control. These characters have different abilities when one character picks up the other and then presses L and the character that is being held does a special move. (For example, if SpongeBob picks up Sandy and the player presses L, Sandy will flip in the air and do an exploding karate chop. This only works with the Nintendo DS version of the game.)
