List of tikis

This is the list of several tikis that appear in the video games Battle for Bikini Bottom, Battle for Bikini Bottom: Rehydrated, SpongeBob's Truth or Square, The Cosmic Shake, and the Roblox experience Nickverse. These tikis appear throughout the levels minus boss challenges which upon destroyed release the collectibles from their respective games (Shiny Objects in Battle for Bikini Bottom, Happiness Tokens in SpongeBob's Truth or Square and Cosmic Jellies in The Cosmic Shake). All tikis have faces on them and appears moving as though they are alive. Some players may hunt these tikis to grind the Shiny Objects in order to unlock some areas and exchange for Golden Spatula by Mr. Krabs or Happiness Tokens in SpongeBob's Truth or Square to unlock costume and buy more health. In The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie game, the tikis were replaced with Plan Z Supplies, which upon being destroyed give the players Manliness Points; unlike the tikis in other games which give a fixed amount of collectibles, the supplies give random variables due to an anti-grinding mechanic inside the game.

Wood Tiki

Wood Tikis seen in the Roblox experience, Nickverse.

The Wood Tiki is a brown tiki with a face on the front that has overexposed teeth. When the player approaches them, they wiggle with a scared look on their faces. It can be destroyed with all of SpongeBob, Patrick, and Sandy's attacks, but it does not work with SpongeBob's bubble bash attack unless the Wood Tiki is on top of a Floating Tiki. Wood Tikis can be lifted and thrown by Patrick to destroy another tiki or push buttons. They first appear in SpongeBob's library. Wood Tikis drop 2 Shiny Objects. They would make a return in The Cosmic Shake where they reward the player 3 Cosmic jelly for destroying them.

In The Movie Game and SpongeBob's Truth or Square, the Wood Tikis are replaced with Supply Crates and Plankton Tiki respectively which share the same traits. The Plankton Tikis, however, instead of wiggling, look sad as opposed to a happy face normally.

Floating Tiki

Floating Tikis, seen in the background in The Cosmic Shake.

The Floating Tiki is a pale tiki with black eyes and a beard, and a purple head. As its name implies, it is a tiki that floats in the air powered by a bubble below them. Each Floating Tiki has a Viking hat symbol below them which prompts SpongeBob to jump in midair and destroy them using his bubble bash attack. They can also be destroyed by his bubble spin if they are not too far out of distance, as well as the bubble bowl if they are floating in an area that the bowling ball can easily target. Some Floating Tikis can be found in out of reach areas which can only be destroyed with SpongeBob's cruise bubble attack. If playing as Patrick, they can only be destroyed by his belly slam if he is on top of a higher platform than the floating tikis or if Patrick throws an object at them. If playing as Sandy, she can lasso the Floating Tiki from afar. As with the Wood Tikis, they first appear in SpongeBob's library. Floating Tikis drop 5 Shiny Objects. The Floating Tiki returns in The Cosmic Shake.

In The Movie Game, the Floating Tikis are replaced with Balloon Boxes, which have Plankton pictures engraved on them and green balloons which makes them float. The Viking hat symbol is now replaced with a glove symbol. Another variant in the form of Flying Dutchman appears in SpongeBob's Truth or Square. Unlike the original Floating Tiki and Balloon Box, Flying Dutchman Tikis don't have symbols below them. Since SpongeBob doesn't have a bash attack, it can only be destroyed using spatula slam or cannon attack. SpongeBob may also destroy it if he performs a spin attack in midair beside the tiki.

Thunder Tiki

The Thunder Tiki is a pale and red tiki with an angry face and lightning bolt on its face. The only tiki that harms the player, the Thunder Tiki can be destroyed with all of the characters' attacks, but works best with SpongeBob's cruise bubble and bubble bowl, Patrick's throw fruit, and Sandy's lasso if the player does not want to risk losing a health unit. Alternatively, another harmless way to defeat them is by walking up to one to set it off, then walking away far enough as it is about to explode. Patrick can also just pick them up and throw them rather than throwing his watermelon at them. Thunder Tiki are mostly used for combo chain reactions. They first appear in the Jellyfish Fields level (first hub area in Rehydrated) and drop 15 Shiny Objects upon destroyed.

In The Movie Game, Thunder Tikis are replaced with Thunder Barrels. Similar to Thunder Tikis, these barrels will explode if the player touches them. Thunder Tikis also appear in SpongeBob's Truth or Square as Mr. Krabs Tikis. When touched, these tikis will flash red and set off a warning siren before exploding. These tikis can be deactivated if SpongeBob sprays them, making them harmless.

Shhh Tiki

The Shhh Tiki is a light gray tiki that decreases in size before eventually disappearing as the player gets closer to them. Like the Thunder Tiki, they first appear in Jellyfish Fields (first hub area in Rehydrated). To destroy them as SpongeBob, he must sneak to the Shhh Tiki in order to destroy it or use it as a platform. Shhh Tikis can also be destroyed by bubble bowl or cruise bubble moves within a reasonable distance from the tikis. Shhh Tikis cannot be sneaked up on by Patrick or Sandy so the player must also be within a far enough distance and then throw a watermelon or any tiki at them if playing as Patrick, or use Sandy's lasso to destroy them. They can also be destroyed by going near a Thunder Tiki that is near them and walking away as it and the nearby tikis explode. Shhh Tikis drop 10 Shiny Objects (11 in Rehydrated).

In The Movie Game, Shhh Tikis were replaced by Supply Computers. These computers have a green static screen with a letter Z wiggling on it. Unlike Shhh Tikis, Supply Computers cannot be sneaked up on by SpongeBob, so he must destroy it with either the Sponge-Bowl attack or sonic wave guitar; Patrick on the other hand must throw something on them. The Shhh Tiki is the only tiki that doesn't have a variant in SpongeBob's Truth or Square.

Stone Tiki

The Stone Tiki is a dark gray tiki made out of stone. The most durable tiki in the game, it is also the hardest to destroy. The easiest way to defeat them as all three characters is to walk up to a nearby Thunder Tiki that is located near a Stone Tiki and walk away as it explodes. However, for the character-exclusive attacks, SpongeBob can only destroy it with his cruise bubble, whereas Patrick can only destroy it by throwing it in the goo. Sandy is the only one who cannot destroy it with any of her normal attacks. Despite being hard to destroy, Stone Tikis can be stacked and used to reach several areas. In Kelp Swamp and Kelp Caves, Stone Tikis are used as part of puzzle levels. As with the Shhh and Thunder Tikis, they first appear in the Jellyfish Fields level (first hub area in Rehydrated). Stone Tikis drop 25 Shiny Objects.

In The Movie Game, Stone Tikis are replaced with Steel Safes. Like the Stone Tikis, these Steel Safes are hard to destroy and can only be destroyed by Sonic Wave Guitar, being thrown into goo or near the exploding Thunder Barrels. This time however, if SpongeBob and Patrick have unlocked macho upgrades to their Sponge-Bowl and Throw attacks, the Steel Safe can be destroyed by the macho bowl's blast or being destroyed with the macho throw move. Stone Tikis return in SpongeBob's Truth or Square as Squidward Tikis. Like the original Stone Tikis, Squidward Tikis cannot be destroyed with normal attacks unless being equipped with one of the power-ups.

Mrs. Puff Tiki

Mrs. Puff Tiki is an exclusive tiki that appears in SpongeBob's Truth or Square. It can only be destroyed with SpongeBob's spray moves. In the DS version, these tikis will puff up upon being sprayed.

Trivia

• An unused variant of the Floating Tiki and Thunder Tiki can be found in Battle for Bikini Bottom concept art as well as unused Patrick's Dream. The unused Floating Tiki has a girly appearance with two wings and a lipstick while the unused Thunder Tiki has a narrower head.
• In the gamescom demo and early screenshots of Rehydrated, Wood Tikis were colored red while Thunder Tikis were colored yellow. The colors were corrected in the full game.
  • The alternate colors, however, were retained for the keychains in Collector's Edition.
• In the DS version of SpongeBob's Truth or Square, the behaviors for the Plankton Tikis and Mr. Krabs Tikis are swapped.
• The beta version of SpongeBob's Truth or Square has an odd looking SpongeBob Tiki which may be the placeholder for the Plankton Tiki.
• SpongeBob's Truth or Square also features a Gary the Snail Tiki which gives tutorial upon being attacked and a Larry the Snail Tiki that gives Tiki Challenges. Both were not included on the main list due to not being collectable tikis.
• The Shhh Tiki is the only tiki from Battle for Bikini Bottom to not return in The Cosmic Shake.
