Synopsis
After the events of the first film, the Nickelodeon characters need somebody to help them on a mission to bring back their leader after he went missing.

Plot
Three years after the first film, the Nickelodeon characters’ leader goes on a journey to claim the Nickelodeon Universe flag as theirs but 2 hours later, he doesn’t come back, causing the whole Nickelodeon universe to go haywire. And they must call in somebody who can help. An evil martian offscreen then laughs as he has captured the leader. Two days later, an young boy named Ryan gets out of bed to get ready for school. After getting ready, his friend then waits for him outside his house and they get going. After school, he and his friend have an history test about how Nickelodeon came to life and became one of the most popular television channel in history. As Timmy Turner is looking to see anybody to help them, they find Ryan and decide to select him. Ryan then gets pulled into the portal and travels to the Nickelodeon Universe to find himself animated again.

The Nickelodeon Characters then meet Ryan, saying that he doesn’t look like a helper but SpongeBob assumes that he is. Ryan then wants to know what’s going on only for Timmy to zip his mouth close and telling him that their leader has gone missing after going on a quest and they need HIM to find their leader. Patrick then brings Ryan’s friend Matthew to the universe only for the robots to carry him and Ryan to the headquarters to discuss what happened to their leader. Matthew then tells the Nickelodeon characters that he is a bit of a nerd with technology so he does some researching and finds out that they have been captured by Aliens in space. Everyone then gasps in horror. Wanda then tells everyone to think of a plan before their leader is gone forever. Ryan then finds his plan and tells the people that maybe they should build a spaceship. It would take a day to do, but not for teamwork!

1 minute of building a spaceship montage later...

Ryan then cuts the montage only to re-do the montage. After the montage, the spaceship is later done and some of the Nickelodeon characters, Matthew, and Ryan then enter the ship and blast off into space with spacesuits. They then get attacked by aliens and their spaceship crash on to Mars. They then find a place to hide from the aliens and try to rebuild their spaceship but there is no use. Later, in the place of the aliens, their despicable leader puts the Nickelodeon Universe leader (Tom) in a cage until they find out what to do with him later. Meanwhile, they call in Jenny and Danny to fix their spaceship until aliens attack and then Jenny holds them off. Jenny then accidentally sends a alien spaceship into the galaxy, causing a major time lapse into the future.

In the future 2096, Timmy, Matthew, Ryan, and SpongeBob then find Patrick who is an old man saying that this place was destroyed 68 years ago. The gang then scream and go back to the present with Jenny still fighting the aliens and Danny has already fixed the ship. They then go into the ship and blast off, leaving the aliens behind. They then find an endangered alien named Dan who soon helps them on their quest. They then arrive at the place of the aliens and then burst in to see their leader captured.

Dafoe (the leader of the aliens) then sends his henchmen to attack the others while Ryan and SpongeBob deal with Dafoe. Matthew then hands Ryan a lightsaber (reference to Star Wars) with SpongeBob pretending to be a space hero. Jenny then bursts in the wall and knocks 39% of the aliens on the ground with 76% of them left. Dafoe then traps Ryan in a bubble while Timmy then frees Tom while Dafoe is defeated, falling into the void along with his minions. Ryan then falls until SpongeBob quickly catches him before he can fall into the void. Tom is then freed and they go back to Earth with all the Nickelodeon characters cheering. They then thank Ryan and Matthew and then go home.

In a post-credits seen, Dafoe and his minions are still falling into the void.
