* ContrastingSequelAntagonist: [[VideoGame/SpongeBobSquarePantsBattleForBikiniBottom In [=SpongeBob's=] previous home console platformer]], the main antagonistic race were {{Killer Robot}}s who quickly invaded and ransacked Bikini Bottom, forcing a small LaResistance consisting of [=SpongeBob=] and his closest friends to retake their home. The threat in this game is an army of sentient cosmic jelly that splits Bikini Bottom into several different wishworlds and forces [=SpongeBob=] to rescue his friends from said wishworlds. Their leaders were also outed at different points in their respective games, with [=SpongeBob=] and the Bikini Bottom news suspecting Plankton halfway into ''Battle for Bikini Bottom'' while no one supected [[spoiler:Madame Kassandra]] until the end of this game.

* DenserAndWackier: Compared to ''VideoGame/SpongeBobSquarePantsBattleForBikiniBottom''. While that game was largely grounded (at least, by [=SpongeBob=] standards), with the main threats being robots, the gameplay trailer shows [=SpongeBob=] and a balloon-ifyed Patrick traversing through far more wacky and fantastical locations and facing off enemies made out of cosmic jelly.
