## Trivia

* In the final boss level of the main story, the player has to defeat Karen. This is the first time she plays as the final boss of a game.
* In the secret story, the Octopus in the Beaver Hat is once again the main antagonist. This is the first game where he is the villain of the *bonus* story, but not the *main* one.
* Plankton's Freaky Robot Battle Suits from *Plankton's Robotic Revenge* return in this game.
	+ There are 2 variations in this game: there is the normal version, and version 2.0, which is a larger, more powerful upgrade from the previous incarnation.
* In the secret story, Dappermane Puff is the only boss not working for the Octopus in the Beaver Hat. Instead, he fights the player simply as an act of revenge from previous encounters with him.
* In the 1st Karen boss level, she gains a spinning paddle instead of her usual wheels, allowing her to float. In the 2nd, she gains helicopter blades, allowing her to fly like a helicopter.
* The gameplay (saving one Bikini Bottomite per level) is very similar to the previous mobile game *SpongeBob's Super Bouncy Fun Time*.
* This is Nickelodeon’s second Apple Arcade game and SpongeBob’s first Apple Arcade game
* This is the first time since Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy V that John Rhys-Davies voices Man Ray.

### Cultural References

* The gameplay is similar to that of Rayman Adventures and Rayman Mini.
	+ It's also similar to Super Mario Run, Run Sackboy! Run! and the Bit.Trip series.
