SpongeBob inserts the video and it says that SpongeBob is invited to Karate Island to be crowned "King of Karate". SpongeBob is excited and brags about it to Sandy, Sandy decides to come with SpongeBob to "Check It Out".

When they arrive, they hop off the boat and proceed to meet a supposed "Karate Legend". He invites them both in and continues to tell SpongeBob that he is truly the King of Karate. Sandy becomes suspicious when the supposed Karate Legend tells SpongeBob to sit on his throne leaving Sandy to sit on a small wooden chair. Sandy then talks to SpongeBob about him being the supposed "King of Karate". SpongeBob keeps bragging about his accomplishment, which makes Sandy angry and causes her to leave. Suddenly! Metal cuffs surround SpongeBob's hands and trap him from escaping.

finally, the supposed Karate legend tells SpongeBob that he is here to sell real estate into buying the condos on Karate Island. It is revealed after the sentence that the island is called Condo Island. SpongeBob Screams help while Sandy,(who is almost at the boat) turns around and says "SpongeBob needs no help, he's the "King Of Karate". SpongeBob yells out and says that he needs help so Sandy replies and says "Im comin to get ya SpongeBob" and she runs towards the condos that SpongeBob is trapped in.

Victories again, Sandy went to the floor to face Filthy Phil. It was a tough fight but Sandy won and got to the floor were the fake King of Karate and The Conman are. Sandy and Udon had a huge fight that could have ended up either way. Sandy emerged victorious and threw Udon out of the window, falling into the shallow ocean. SpongeBob was thankful and apologized to Sandy saying that he was not what he said he was. Sandy and SpongeBob leave Condo Island.

Trivia/Goofs

Pat Morita Guest Voices
Karate Island is voted by many fans as the most popular SpongeBob episode ever. Karate Island was voted Episode #1 in the Best day Ever Marathon in the US.
Ever since the "The Best Day Ever" marathon, the Pat Morita memorial picture has been removed for an unknown reason. In Germany and UK, it is still shown.
Master Udon says that Sandy must first pass 4 levels, but she only goes through 3.
When Sandy is throwing jelly donuts in The Tickler's mouth, that plate starts out full, and then it starts to get empty. But then when it shows the plate again, it's full.
When Sandy defeats Master Udon, she says, "You're in the soup now, Udon!" Udon is a type of wheat-based noodle eaten in Japan and often used to make soup.
Udon locked SpongeBob into a chair. However when Sandy defeats Udon, SpongeBob walks over to Sandy with no explanation of how he escaped, but only his hands were locked so its possible that SpongeBob simply squeezed his hands out of the cuffs and escaped.
The Tickler speaks like a Japan martial arts expert, where the words he speaks trail his lip movements.
When Sandy enters the building, she is wearing her air outfit and helmet. When we see her run into The Tickler shortly afterwards she's wearing the jumpsuit. How did she change so quickly?
