Line 10:
* [[Abnormal Ammo]]: Tar-Tar and Slick robots will attack you with jets of tartar sauce and oil, while Robo-Patrick will puke up toxic sludge that looks like ice cream during his boss fight.
* [[Action Bomb]]: Thunder Tikis, which will explode after you attack them or step within their detection radius. The aptly-named Bomb-Bots are a more aggressive variant of this trope and will actively chase you down.
* [[Action Girl]]: Sandy, who puts her karate and lassoing skills to good use against the
* [[Adam Smith Hates Your Guts]]: Initially, Mr. Krabs would charge ''insane'' prices for the Golden Spatulas you buy from him in the ''Rehydrated'' rerelease. Unlike in the original where the amount of Shiny Objects you pay him increases by 500 with each spatula bought, he adds an extra ''3000'' Shiny objects to the price tag. Thankfully, this is no longer the case after a patch adjusted the price hike to be more in line with the original game.
* [[Adaptational Badass]]: In the show, Sandy is the designated asskicker among herself, Spongebob, and Patrick. Here, they're just as good in a fight as she is and are [[One Man Army|One Man Armies]] in their own right.
* [[A.I. Is a Crapshoot]]: Subverted. While Plankton's robots are rebelling against him, they're actually following their orders to the letter... it just so happens that their orders are for them to ''not'' obey him. {{spoiler|Played straight later on though, where the "Obey" order simply causes them to follow the orders of Robo-Plankton instead of their master}}.
* [[Airborne Mook]]:
* [[All-Powerful Bystander]]: King Neptune could easily take care of Robo-Sandy himself, but he delegates the task to Spongebob and Patrick as a test... probably because it makes for good entertainment seeing how the fight is treated like a big sporting event.
* [[Always Chaotic Evil]]: Every robot you run into is a dangerous troublemaker
* [[Ambiguous Gender]]: {{spoiler|Used to truly weird effect with Spongebot Steelpants. It's a robot modeled after the male Spongebob Squarepants, but Robo-Plankton calls it his bride after you beat it for the first time}}.
* [[Amusement Park]]: The boardwalk part of Goo Lagoon. Glove World would also count, [[What Could Have Been|had it made the cut.]]
* [[Apathetic Citizens]]: As long as they aren't being directly menaced by the robots, Bikini Bottom's denizens will goof off without a care in the world. The only ones who seem to care are named characters from the show like Mrs. Puff, Larry the Lobster, and Mr. Krabs.
* [[Arrow Cam]]: When you use the Cruise Bubble.
* [[Ascended Extra]]: Bubble Buddy returns, and in the process goes from a memorable one-shot character with minimal dialogue to a recurring mentor figure who helps Spongebob master his bubble techniques.
* [[Band Land]]: Squidward's Dream.
* [[Be Careful What You Wish For]]:
* [[Big Bad Wannabe]]: Plankton came ''this'' close to being the game's proper villain, but his big mistake doomed him to be an ineffective whiner forced to boss Spongebob and friends around so he can take the Chum Bucket back from his rebellious robots.
* [[Big Boo's Haunt]]: The Flying Dutchman's Graveyard.
* [[Border Patrol]]: Hans, the photorealistic hand from the show serves this purpose. If you step into an out-of-bounds zone and linger there, he'll grab you and take you back to safety.
* [[Bubble Gun]]: Spongebob's bubble-blowing skills are surprisingly powerful when used in combat. Aside from weaponizing the bubbles
* [[Butt Monkey]]: It wouldn't be a ''Spongebob'' adaptation if Squidward wasn't treated like the universe's punching bag. You tear up his house to get a few collectibles, he gets chased by robots and stung by jellyfish, Patrick steals his skis, Spongebob uses his toothbrush without him knowing it...
* [[Call a Rabbit a Smeerp]]: The "throw fruits" Patrick can toss around are quite clearly watermelons with a different name.
* [[Cash Gate]]: If you neglect your Golden Spatula collection mission, you won't be making much progress through this game. Ditto for skipping out on Shiny Object hunting, because there are multiple ''literal'' cash gates that you can't bypass without some
* [[Cloudcuckoolander]]: As usual, Mermaidman's
* [[Comically Missing the Point]]: Patrick treats the fight against Robo-Sandy like a childish game, instead of... you know, a gladiatorial fight against a dangerous robot.
{{quote|'''Patrick''': (excitedly bouncing up and down) I wanna play! I wanna play!
'''Spongebob''': Patrick, we're not playing! WE'RE FIGHTING FOR OUR LIVES!
'''Patrick''': (whining) I wanna play! I wanna ''play''!}}
* [[Death Is a Slap on The Wrist]]: Since there are no extra lives, you don't need to worry about getting a game over or losing a ton of progress when you die: you simply respawn back at the nearest checkpoint, which likely isn't far from where you die. The worst thing that happens is that certain collectibles will need to be found again, but even that isn't so bad.
* [[Dive Kick]]: Sandy's jump attack is a flying kick.
* [[Dream Land]]: SpongeBob's Dream, as well as the other dreams he visits within that dream.
* [[Drop the Hammer]]: Ham-mer robots will try to squash you flat with massive hammer hands that are designed to look like hams.
* [[Eagle Land]]: Sandy's Dream is a Texas-specific version, and is a [[Bubbly Clouds]] stage where tons of oil rigs, Alamos, [[Genius Bonus|yellow roses]], and ribbons designed after the Texas flag can be seen for miles.
* [[Electric Jellyfish]]: Like in the show, jellyfish stings generate a ton of electricity.
* [[Elite Mook]]: Slick robots, which are protected by a regenerating bubble shield and take two extra hits to kill on top of that. They're also very dangerous thanks to being a good shot with the oil bubbles they blow at you.
* [[Excuse Plot]]: Parodied in this priceless conversation with Bubble Buddy.
{{quote|'''Spongebob''': Say, Bubble Buddy, why do I have to pay all of these Golden Spatulas to these tool booths?
'''Bubble Buddy''': Because, Spongebob!
'''Spongebob''': Well, can't argue with that!}}
* [[Flunky Boss]]: King Jellyfish, who will summon swarms of jellyfish when you hurt him. Prawn will also summon Ham-mers every time you hit him.
* [[The Goomba]]: Jellyfish and Fodder, all of which are the earliest enemies encountered as well as the weakest.
* [[Gotta Catch Them All]]: Getting all 100 Golden Spatulas gets you {{spoiler|a bonus clip featuring nearly every character in the game singing the series theme song.}}
* [[Green Hill Zone]]: Jellyfish Fields.
Line 40 ⟶ 60:
* [[Plot Coupon]]: The Golden Spatulas, which are collectibles that you'll need to access different levels.
* [[Poisonous Person]]: Robo-Patrick will try to drown you in toxic sludge, or simply spit it up at you after eating radioactive "ice cream".
* [[Psycho Electro]]: Jellyfish are very territorial and temperamental creatures. Fodder and Monsoon robots also love to smack people with electric prods and smite them with lightning respectively.
* [[Ridiculously-Human Robots]]: Maybe "human" isn't the right term, but Robo-Patrick's a lot more expressive and lively than the other boss robots. He can emote, eat ice cream, and scream in pain
* [[Slippy-Slidey Ice World]]: Sand Mountain is meant to be a snow-capped mountain in spirit, complete with sand-flavored versions of ski-lifts,
* [[Stout Strength]]: [[Big Fun|Patrick]] is the designated powerhouse out of all three playable characters, and can lift and toss enemies and heavy objects around like they're nothing.▼
* [[Squick]]: This is Sandy's reaction to using Spongebob's underwear health pickups, as well as an occasional reaction whenever Spongebob finds one of Patrick's lost socks.
▲* [[Stout Strength]]: [[Big Fun|Patrick]] is the designated powerhouse
* [[Underground Monkey]]: Blue Jellyfish, which are color-swapped, even more dangerous versions of the generic pink Jellyfish. You need to hit them twice to kill them.
* [[Under the Sea]]: Where the game is set, obviously.
* [[Video Game Cruelty Potential]]: Every level has innocent civilians you can beat up and harass to your heart's content. Getting the Golden Spatula and missing sock from Squidward's House even require you to exploit this by annoying the hell out of Squidward.
