He throws a huge party only for those as tanned as he is. Template:Data:Links and Template:Data:Links try to get in; Patrick is able to get tan but SpongeBob gets sun bleached due to Patrick's stupidity. They try many techniques to get tan. Finally, SpongeBob covers himself in caramel. However, at the party it hardens and falls off.

SpongeBob is praised for it, as it is an even deeper tan than Craig's. They all try to get sun bleached as well; however, he and everyone except for a few get burned to ashes while doing so.

"A Place for Pets"

He makes a cameo during the song "Pets Are People Too."

"Say Awww!"

He gets consumed by Q.T.-π. He joins the group of trapped Bikini Bottomites to form a pyramid to escape its stomach through the emergency uvula.

"Buff for Puff"

He and Mo are weightlifting at Mussel Beach when they see Larry run by in Mr. Krabs' shell. They believe he gained weight by not exercising, so they start exercising harder in fear of turning out of shape like him. This is also his first speaking role in the main series since his debut episode.

Kamp Koral: SpongeBob's Under Years

"Camp Crossbones"

SpongeBob pops his soccer ball with a pretend sword. Craig gets angry, and Patrick throws him another ball, which turns out to be a skull. It chases after Craig and bites him in the butt.

"The Perfect Camper"

Craig represents his cabin in the Kamp Koral Summer Games, and wins the hammer toss round.

"Eye of the Hotdog"

He participates in the first annual hot dog contest, where he beats SpongeBob but loses to Patrick. Craig still believes he has won and accepts the first and second place trophies, leading the campers to laugh at him. He falls into a brief depression and leaves his cabin, but SpongeBob gives him a pep talk that inspires him to train harder. In the second round, due to Plankton serving expired hot dogs, Craig is unable to keep them down. However, he and Patrick are given trophies anyways, and they become friends.
