Survive Bikini Bottom Classes and Residents
The lobby roster and the five friends you walk home.
Survive Bikini Bottom has two “player” lists that searchers mix up. Classes are lobby kits you buy with Doubloons or Robux. Residents are SpongeBob, Patrick, Sandy, Squidward, and Mr. Krabs—the NPCs you escort to the Jelly Hive. This hub points at both so you do not spend currency on a body when you actually needed a location.
Classes
Open the Class Shop from the lobby or the Classes button. Kits upgrade to level 3 and can roll a Talent stolen from another class. Full perk text and costs live on all classes. Spend advice lives on the tier list and the class picker. If you have not bought anything yet, read best starter before Camp Scout looks cheap and friendly.
Remember: a class does not deposit jelly for you and does not skip hive gates. Pioneer still needs workbench crafts. Rockstar still dies outside the Sea Bear circle.
Residents
The campaign order is fixed to hive levels 2–6. Residents is the database. Rescue residents is the how-to. Rescue checklist is the short table you can keep on a second monitor.
Escorting everyone also inflates the day counter. If you only wanted a high number, you still have to walk the same five people. If you wanted a calm infinite night, you may delay a rescue on purpose.
Badges
Roblox lists fifty-plus awards: Jellykeeper hive ranks, normal day milestones, Hardcore days, curse 100s, and Sea Warden prestige. Badges is the index. Farm Doubloons is how those awards become a class. Hardcore is the second ladder.
How the two lists interact
- Doctor does not make Sandy easier. It makes the wipe after Sandy cheaper.
- Bruiser makes the SpongeBob maze less miserable because you will take chip damage in hallways.
- Survivalist-style map and compass kits are literally the resident-finding tools other classes craft.
- Cursed Soul helps you afford the class you actually wanted, then you should stop using it for serious nights.
A lobby conversation that saves a night
Say the class name, the job, and the spend out loud before anyone clicks Buy. “Pioneer, keys, 80 coins” is a plan. “I grabbed Defender because it was green” is how a five-stack enters Sandy with four wall kits and no revives. If two people want Rockstar and only one can afford it, the poorer player takes Doctor or Pioneer and writes the next farm target on the Doubloon page—not in a guilt trip.
Residents get the same honesty. If the hive is level 3, you are allowed to say no to a Treedome walk. Fog is a gate, not a dare. The rescue checklist exists so that sentence has a table behind it.
