Trivia
There was originally going to be a Squidward robot battle. Although this never happened, there is concept art that you can unlock and one of the pieces depicts what the battle would've been like. The robot Squidward would've had big tentacles that would attack you and you'd have to press switches which would drop rocks on top of them. The robot battle did however get ported on the Game Boy Advanced version of the game. The rehydrated version of the game does feature the Squidward robot battle.

Goofs
If you press the cruise bubble and bubble bowl buttons on the same frame whilst walking against a flat wall, Spongebob will enter into a state where he slowly moves forward even if you aren't tilting the control stick at all. If you go against a flat surface in this state, Spongebob will slowly drift either right or left. Slightly tilt the control stick in the opposite direction and press both buttons on the same frame again, and Spongebob will move forward much quicker. This is known in the Battle for Bikini Bottom speedrunning community as a "Cruise Boost".

Quotes
Patrick Star: Did you find my lost socks?
SpongeBob SquarePants: Not yet Patrick.
Patrick Star: Oh. Did they find you?

Crazy credits
The game opens with the theme song and with SpongeBob outside his pineapple before pressing the start button

Has aged extremely well

The first time I have played the old Ps2 version was in 2009 when I was about 5 years old. I finished the game years later, because I couldn't understand the mechanics (obviously). Looking back at it now in 2021, after I bought the Remake (Rehydrated) I still remember every single detail that was put into the development of the old version. The graphics are still amazing for such an old game. Comparable to another great/unfinished game: Crash Bandicoot Twinsanity. Both of these games have aged extremely well in terms of game mechanics and graphics. It is a great game for beginners and I would recommend it to the younger audience mainly, because most older people who have been playing games for their whole life, will not find a challenge in this game. It is a fun platformer and considering it's release date, a well aged game (yes I repeated myself 3 times) 10 out of 10.
