Playing the unlocked Nanogames later gives players the chance to earn bronze, silver or gold medals depending how far they get.

Most of the Nanogames require the 3DS console for tapping (such as matching a pair of cards), drawing (to colour or draw whatever is needed on the Touch Screen), flicking (throwing a frisbee to the right place), shaking the console (to destroy the city as giant Plankton) and even tilting the system left and right. In the game players must complete a series of minigames called 'Nanogames' within a 5-second time limit (akin to Nintendo's 'WarioWare' series) in order to become a member of Patchy the Pirate's SpongeBob SquarePants fan club. 'SpongeBob Squigglepants 3D' is the 3DS adaptation of the uDraw game 'SpongeBob Squigglepants' for the Nintendo Wii.
