Tropes:
- Air-Vent Passageway: Used in both Chum Bucket and in Chapter 3. Interestingly, Squidward goes through these vents in both games.
- Brutal Bonus Level: Krusty Krab, Chum Bucket, and Chapter 3 have an extra sixth night, and a custom night in the last two's case.
- Jump Scare: Being a FNAF fangame, this is to be expected.
- A.I. Is a Crapshoot: Well, duh!
- Artistic License – Physics: Being Spongebob after all, The Krusty Krab burns down even though the place is submerged in water
- Though The Reveal present in Chapter 3 indicates that it was an above sea restaurant owned by Nickelodeon in the real world, justifying the fire.
- Kill It with Fire: The animatronics burn down the building at the end of the game
- Adaptational Attractiveness: The Spongebob Animatronic is completely muscular when compared to his appearance in the first game.
- Hostage Situation: The plot of this game in a nutshell
- Red Eyes, Take Warning: Sandy has these eyes with her exposed endo head.
- You Don't Look Like You. Karen is seen as a wireframe animatronic instead of her usual design.
Word of God confirms this as him being too lazy to make a new model for her, so he just reskinned Sandy's model.
- By the Lights of Their Eyes: A gameplay mechanic on Night 5.
- Canon Foreigner: Hammerhead is the only character (outside the humans) to not be based on anyone from Spongebob.
- Final Boss: Night 5 has Hammerhead as the last hurdle Eli faces before he’s finally free.
- Shout-Out:
- Squidward's mechanic is a deliberate reference to One Night At Flumptys 2. Complete with the exposure meter too!
- The music that plays on Night 5 is a distorted instrumental of Ocean Man.
- The Reveal: The ending reveals that the events of Krusty Krab and Chum Bucket happened in the real world as opposed to the Spongebob world. Telling us that Eli took the job of Security Guard at a real Krusty Krab restaurant owned by Nickelodeon in Santa Monica. Not to mention how the events of Chum Bucket transpired because a jealous executive at TBS named Sheldon captured Eli out of spite towards his friend Eugene.
- Unexpected Gameplay Change: Night 5 has Hammerhead take on the roles of every animatronic in the military base.
