* GameBreakingBug: [[https://youtu.be/mEoH4SVueis?t=230 This video]] shows that it's possible to crash the game if you hit a Monsoon with Patrick's GroundPound attack. Even though the Monsoon is usually out of the reach of Patrick's slam attack (due to it being an AirborneMook), there is a specific spot in the Kelp Caves where Patrick can get on the same elevation level as the Monsoon, which puts it in the range of his GoundPound's stunning ability. This causes the game to crash because the Monsoon was never given a stun animation, so the game doesn't know what to do in this scenario.

* AbsenteeActor: Pearl and Karen are the only main characters from the show who don't have speaking roles in this game. The latter case is justified in that Karen was considered a secondary character until becoming an AscendedExtra after the movie.

* GameBreakingBug: [[https://youtu.be/mEoH4SVueis?t=230 This video]] shows that it's possible to crash the game if you hit a Monsoon with Patrick's GroundPound attack. Since the Monsoon is an AirborneMook, it's usually out-of-reach from Patrick's slam attack range. However, there is a specific spot in the Kelp Caves where Patrick can get on the same elevation level as the Monsoon and perform the slam attack to stun it. This causes the game to immediately crash because the Monsoon was never given a stun animation like other robots, so the game's code can't figure out what to do in this scenario.

** In the horde mode, Gary uses a FryingPanOfDoom as his WeaponOfChoice, just as he did in "[[Recap/SpongebobSquarepantsS7E131KeepBikiniBottomBeautifulAPalForGary A Pal for Gary]]".

* CharacterOutlivesActor: Since the remake [[StockAudioClip reuses the original game's English voice track]] wholesale, Barnacle Boy appears here once again despite the death of his original voice actor, Tim Conway, causing him to be retired from the show. While Mermaid Man was also retired after the death of actor Ernest Borgnine, this trope doesn't apply here, as he was [[TheOtherDarrin replaced]] by Joe Whyte in the original game.

->'''[=SpongeBob=]''': Say Bubble Buddy, why do I have to pay all of these golden spatulas to these toll booths?
->'''Bubble Buddy''': Because, [=SpongeBob=].
->'''[=SpongeBob=]''': Well, can't argue with that.

Now has a [[Characters/SpongebobSquarepantsVideoGameCharacters character page]].

* LoneWolfBoss: The Flying Dutchman. He's not affiliated with ''any'' of Plankton's robots -- in fact, he actually asks for Spongebob and Sandy's help in fighting them off from his graveyard, and only turns on them when he's tempted by a Golden Spatula they come across and refuses to part with it.

** In Goo Lagoon, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KjlDu3XRtZk it's possible]] for the screen to randomly turn black in the first area. If this happens before completing the "King of the Castle" challenge, [[UnwinnableByMistake the golden spatula for that challenge will not spawn and talking to Bubble Buddy will give you the "Well done, [=SpongeBob=]" line he says after you complete the challenge, thus preventing you from getting]] OneHundredPercentCompletion.

* UnwinnableByMistake: Unlike the original game, you can't fight the robot bosses again after you have defeated them (at least at launch). If you go and face the FinalBoss without bringing your Golden Spatula count to 98 (since you'll get the last two from the fight), then you'll lock yourself out from the HundredPercentCompletion ending on that save file. Thankfully, this was fixed with the 1.03 update. There are also a handful of buggy Golden Spatulas that are {{permanently missable|Content}} due to glitches, although the issue can seemingly be worked around as long as you have a copy of your save from before you collect them.

* ReformulatedGame: The GBA and PC versions have the same plot as the console versions, but that's where the similarities end. The GBA game is a 2D Platformer whose only playable character is [=Spongebob=], and the PC game is a MinigameGame.

** Played straight with the main character models, which were directly lifted from ''[[WesternAnimation/TheSpongeBobMovieSpongeOutOfWater]]''.

* NewWorkRecycledGraphics: {{Downplayed}}. While all of the models were rebuilt from scratch, the developers actually worked off of the original game's assets, some of which are still left over in the files.
