Trivia
General
This episode was originally named "Escape from Glove World."[citation needed]
The title card background is similar to those of "The Getaway" and "Squid's on a Bus," except that the former is blue and the latter is orange. Those scenes also appear in rapid sliding transitions in the normal episodes.
Brian Morante, a storyboard artist, states in a Twitter post that his main inspiration when writing was the Disneyland urban legends. [2]
This was the first episode that premiered in 2020 and the 2020s decade.
This was the first episode released by Nickelodeon following the ViacomCBS re-merger.
This was the first 22-minute/double-length episode that premiered after Stephen Hillenburg's lifetime.
This episode preceded the series premiere of the Nickelodeon animated series It's Pony.
Promotions and several TV schedules for this episode have alternatively titled it "Escape from Glove World," excluding the "Beneath" part.
This is the second time Mary Walker is seen without her wig. The first time was in "Glove World R.I.P" which ironically is another episode focusing on Glove World!
Much like "Glove World R.I.P.," this episode does not contain the exclamation point at the end of Glove World!'s name in the title like how it appears on the entrance sign.
This is the first special to feature only two major characters – SpongeBob and Patrick, with everyone else being absent.
It is unknown how mice and butterflies are able to exist underwater, especially since in "Wormy" Sandy brings a butterfly from the surface and it needed a bubble to be underwater.
Rob Paulsen is uncredited in the end credits for his voice work.
This is the second episode Maurice LaMarche guest starred in, as well as his second time in season 12, after "Squid's on a Bus."

Cultural references
Hieronymus Glove may be based on Walt Disney since he looks very similar to him. They even reference the rumor that Walt Disney was cryogenically frozen when they reveal that Hieronymus Glove was frozen in ice.
Mickey Mouse reference
During the movie at the Glove World! Theater, there is a scene where three mice can be seen wearing matching ears and gloves that are reminiscent of Mickey Mouse's design.
The movie also features a fish called Queen Elizafish the First, whose name references Queen Elizabeth I, one of the previous queens of England. However, Elizafish's design is more reminiscent of Queen Elizabeth II, the current queen of England.
While in Glove World! jail, SpongeBob and Patrick see some pirates in jail wanting a worm to give them the key. This is a reference to a scene in the 1967 Disneyland attraction, Pirates of the Caribbean.
Before the kids break out of Glove World! jail, Helen the Felon can be heard speaking Pig Latin when she yells "Let's amscray!," which means "Let's scram!"
The Soggy Sock Flume ride is a reference to the 1989 Disneyland ride, Splash Mountain.
Errors
Patrick's eyelids are yellow
During one scene in the episode, Patrick's eyelids are incorrectly colored yellow as SpongeBob's.
