Skill Crane (machine)
The Skill Crane is a claw vending machine that Mr. Krabs bought for the Krusty Krab from Vending Supplies. SpongeBob uses a secret to win every time. Squidward soon finds out this secret and goes nuts when he finally wins. It's only appearance so far is in the episode: Skill Crane. It is not sure what happened to the crane after this episode. In the beginning of the episode, it's shown that you can buy a Skill Crane by from the company that sells Skill Cranes, and R.A. PennyPincher, the seller who owes you a Skill Crane, will come in your house and bring it in!
Design
The Skill Crane looks like a regular crane game. If someone loses or wins in the game, it will announce it in a human voice. It holds stuffed animals that look like they're mainly for toddlers. SpongeBob's favorite prize from the Skill Crane is a stuffed bear named Beary, and Squidward's prize was also a teddy bear which he named Teddy but with a few minor differences. The base color of the crane is a dark orange and the joystick is a completely black handle. It has a coin slot and a big slot where the toys come out. If you don't get the toy, it will say YOU LOSE! or LOSER! and laugh, but if you get a toy it says WINNER! or YOU ARE A WINNER!. The skill crane should have said like Mr. Wonka said it: "You lose!"
Profit/Prophet
It was revealed near the end of the episode and it was also obvious that Mr. Krabs had benefited well buying the Skill Crane. It used up 10s of thousands of Squidward's quarters although SpongeBob benefited well because he won every single game. It was unknown of the price to buy the Skill Crane. It can give Mr. Krabs lots and lots of money, and Mr. Krabs received more than double of 3,499 quarters from Squidward. That will be more than $877.25 times 2: which is more than $1,754.50. Squidward had spent a lot of money - even the deed to his house! - on the Skill Crane for just a teddy bear!
