History NightmareFuel / SpongeBobSquarePantsCreatureFromTheKrustyKrab

** The enemies of the same level, despite being relatively easy to defeat, are also somewhat disturbing. They are copies of [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Recap/SpongeBobSquarePantsS4E1FearOfAKrabbyPattyShellOfAMan Mutton Chop]] and [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Recap/SpongeBobSquarePantsS3E8NoWeeniesAllowedSquilliamReturns one of the patrons of the Salty Spitoon]] with faces look like a combination of [[AxCrazy Ax Crazies]] and NightmareFace.

* ''[[WombLevel Alaskan Belly Trouble]]'' is both this and NauseaFuel. At the beginning of said level, there's the sequence of [=SpongeBob=] constantly falling through an ocean pit from "Diesel Dreaming", past sunken ships, pirate treasure, ancient ruins, mysterious unexplained machinery (likely linked in to said last nightmare), [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking and realistic, non-sapient starfish and oysters]] ([[https://youtu.be/Yqbi_ezX-0Y all while this background music plays, nonetheless]]). What does the poor sponge see emerging out of the murk at the end? Why, [[OhCrap only an angry]] [[TheDreaded Alaskan Bull Worm]]! Said worm then proceeds to eat [=SpongeBob=] before slithering back down into the abyss. For those who aren't expecting it, it's almost a [[JumpScare Jump Scare]]

''[[VideoGame/SpongeBobSquarePantsCreatureFromTheKrustyKrab [=SpongeBob SquarePants=] Creature From The Krusty Krab]]'' has often been cited as the [[DarkerAndEdgier darkest]] [=SpongeBob=] game ever. And no wonder why, the game has added much more NightmareFuel than any other [=SpongeBob=] game.

* ''It Came From Bikini Bottom''. Following the level where you [[Awesome/SpongeBobSquarepantsCreatureFromTheKrustyKrab play as a gigantic Plankton and rampage around Bikini Bottom]], you cut to [=SpongeBob=]'s perspective, where Plankton is going out of control and is destroying everything around him, possibly murdering plenty of poor fish people while you have to keep your plane flying to try and escape from him. [[https://youtu.be/X3ZK6cUoW3c This music doesn't help ease things up either]].

** After the credits roll, we're treated to a cutscene of what is likely before and how the entire game happened. It's the ending of said cutscene that's the most disturbing, [=SpongeBob=], with a Krabby Patty in hand, offers Gary it for a moment but decides against it, saying "It'll give you nightmares". After some teasing, [=SpongeBob=] leaves for the bathroom while Gary starts to fall asleep. As Gary falls asleep, he sees [=SpongeBob=] making the patty talk while looking in the mirror. The next moment, '''''[[DiabolusExMachina The Alaskan Bull Worm]]''''' comes out of nowhere to eat a portion of the house along with [=SpongeBob=]! The patty ends up in front of Gary as he falls asleep completely. [[SuddenDownerEnding The End.]]

After the main characters discover the Krabby Patty that has been behind all this madness, the patty turns into a trophy and they suddenly wind up in a race through a neon carnival filled with freakish luminous monstrosities.
