Slick

“	Disgusting oil blob attack. Doesn't wear underwear or bathe very regularly. Just the kind of bot your mother warned you about, kids.	”

Slicks are robots that appear as an enemy in Battle for Bikini Bottom and Battle for Bikini Bottom: Rehydrated as the fourteenth and final robot SpongeBob, Patrick and Sandy encounter in their adventures. In its introductory cutscene, a Bikini Bottomite is seen popping a Slick's bubble by throwing a rock, causing the robot to shoot an oil blob at him, slipping off, only for another Bikini Bottomite to throw a sink at it, walking away and eventually beginning to target SpongeBob in its crosshairs, intimidating SpongeBob in the process.

Description

Slicks are massive robots that tower above most other non-boss robots. Their head, torsos, shoulders, and hands are chrome, and they have octagon-shaped, lime-green eyes and antennas on the sides of their heads. Instead of having legs, they have three inner tubes that they use for mobility, apparently by gliding across the ground. They hold what appears to be an oil can in their left hand and a bubble wand in their right hand. They also have a hatch on their chest with a lever.

In Rehydrated, their eyes are rounder; they now have a tube-like body with a gauge on their upper chest and the hatch in the tube part.

Abilities

• Oil blob attack
• Bubble shield

Role in games

Slicks are rare enemies first seen in the Flying Dutchman's Graveyard, only appearing elsewhere in SpongeBob's Dream. It can shoot oil blobs at the player from a long distance. The oil blobs do not hurt the player, but they leave behind puddles on the ground that are hard to walk in because they are slippery.

Slicks can be defeated in one hit, but first, the player needs to destroy the Slick's oil bubble shield, which also takes one hit to destroy. If they wait long enough after they have popped Slick's bubble shield, Slick will regenerate the bubble shield. However, Sandy can lasso a Slick and destroy it even if it has its shield up. Destroying a Slick earns the player one-hundred Shiny Objects, the highest amount of any object or enemy in the game.

In the remake, Slicks have been improved considerably; their oil blobs now deal damage on contact now, and they now take three hits to destroy instead of one. However, Slicks can be instantly destroyed by hitting them with a Bubble Bowl or Cruise Bubble as SpongeBob.
