At the Krusty Krab, SpongeBob is working, but, he notices he has run out of ketchup, so he goes to the back to get some. While doing so, he notices a strange switch, out

of curiosity, he pulls it, and a secret door opens behind the trash, revealing a portal. (to the likes of the SpongeBob: Cosmic Shake Background art.) SpongeBob falls in and gets wrapped into an adventure of new dimensions and worlds, such as The Pre-Historic Era, The Loud House, The Ninja Turtles, and more.
