Trivia[]

General[]

  • The PC version of this game has several similarities to Employee of the Month and the PC version of The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie video game, as they are all point-and-click titles.
  • The PC version was the 5th licensed SpongeBob video game to developed by AWE Games. Following Operation Krabby Patty, Employee of the Month, and the PC versions of Battle for Bikini Bottom and The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie.
  • The plot of this version has some similarities to "Mermaid Man & Barnacle Boy VI: The Motion Picture."
  • In this version, when SpongeBob has to catch Man-Ray, he is unable to catch him. When that happens, he says, "He's so amazing! I must do something to stop him and convince him to be in the show. Let's see... in episode 17 of Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy... Aha! They used the tickle belt on him!" This is a reference to the season 2 episode "Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy III," in which when SpongeBob talks about the tickle belt, he says that it is from episode 17.
  • The game heavily relies on pre-existing assets, and does not have a lot of original assets as a result.
    • Almost every single NPC model is taken from the PC version of the Movie game, with some being tweaked or recolored.
    • Every single explorable background (the only exception being Gill's office) is either identical to or a slightly tweaked version of a background from the show's art assets.
    • Some of the art assets were originally created for the show and did not make it in, but did get used in the game. An unused beach background for "Bubble Buddy" appears in the cutscene upon completion of the minigame De-fence. Two unused backgrounds from "Squidville" are reused (albeit slightly altered) to create the Tentacle Acres Cocoa Shop in Tentacle Acres.
    • Other backgrounds can be assumed to be unused from the show as well, although these have not yet resurfaced. These include a background with a dinosaur skeleton, presumably taken from "Ugh", a different angle from the trash can in the park from Squidville, the bottom of the ropes from Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy III, a panning shot of the Chum Bucket with a security camera, presumably from "Welcome to the Chum Bucket", the back of the Krusty Krab with a dumpster, which would go on to later appear in "Shell of a Man", and an alternate shot of The Dump.
    • Barg'N-Mart's loading screen art and its ingame equivalent are reused from Employee of the Month. The interior of the Krusty Krab is reused from the Movie game, which leads to quite a confusing layout, as SpongeBob cannot enter the kitchen from the main restaurant. Instead, he needs to go through Mr. Krabs' office, at which point he can use the door that would usually go to the main restaurant floor (even showing the floor), but it instead leads outside through the back door.
    • Almost all of the game's music tracks are reused from previous AWE titles, dating back as far as their first release, Operation Krabby Patty. Besides royalty free tracks that weren't used in the past entries, the Fry Cook Museum is the only location that gets a new track.
    • In the intro cutscene for the minigame De-fence, SpongeBob states "This place oozes evil!" This quote is reused from the Movie game, where he says it when looking at a skull in the trench.
