Trivia[]
- The PC version is the 4th licensed SpongeBob video game to be developed by AWE Games. Following Operation Krabby Patty, Employee of the Month, & the PC version of Battle for Bikini Bottom.
- The menu theme from the PC version was actually used in another PC game named Age of Sail, a game released by TalonSoft in 1996.
- The familiar-looking guy (the same one from SpongeBob SquarePants: Employee of the Month) can be seen sitting at a table at the Krusty Krab and Goofy Goober's Ice Cream Party Boat.
- During the fifth chapter, trying to make SpongeBob traverse the trench too soon causes him to say, "It's too foggy to see! I could get eaten by a Grue." This is a reference to Zork I: The Great Underground Empire, a popular PC text-based adventure game, where if one wandered into a dark location without any light source, the player would be unable to see. Shortly thereafter, the text would pop up saying, "You were eaten by a Grue."
- Although the game is based on the movie, the Hotel Deep Six (Chapter 5) and Dr. Louie's Office (Chapter 6) from the PC version never appear in the actual movie.
- Both the original DVD from 2005 and the 2014 re-release of The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie contain a demo of the PC version of the video game, the demo is exactly the same as the original game, but if you complete the mission in which SpongeBob needs to brush his teeth, a screen which promotes the full version of the game will appear, and after that, the game will close itself.
Easter eggs[]
- In Squidward's house, there is a chalkboard displaying his new phone number and a picture of Flats the Flounder beating up SpongeBob from "The Bully."
- When Plankton arrives in Neptune's castle, a graffiti can be seen on his left, which says "King Neptune is Baldy, I am not!"
