** In Pirate Goo Lagoon, Patrick’s thing for pretty mermaids returns full swing, as he quickly falls for one they meet there and is then on determined to become a real life pirate so that he can score a date with her. Even sweeter, the mermaid actually blows him a kiss goodbye before he and SpongeBob return to Bikini Bottom.
** Whenever SpongeBob encounters Sandy or one of her alternate selves in another world or dimension, he will excitedly say, “Look, it’s Sandy!” before clearing his throat and saying “I mean… Look, it’s Sandy!” in a much deeper sounding voice, likely in an attempt to sound cooler in front of her.

* Burrower is a giant worm that burrows underground and the only way to defeat them is by stomping around the cracks on the ground which will stun them and leave them vulnerable for attack. This has to be done three times.

When visiting Glove World one day, [=SpongeBob=] and Patrick cross paths with the mermaid fortune teller Kassandra, who gives them a bottle of King Neptune’s bath soap, made from genuine Mermaid Tears -- which, according to legend, can grant wishes for those pure of heart. Being the goofy goobers that they are, the duo make multiple wishes at once with the soap, ripping a hole in the fabric of space and time. Not only does this unleash a horde of Cosmic Jelly onto Bikini Bottom, but it causes their friends to get lost in fantastical "Wishworlds" full of cowboys, ghosts, and cavemen (among many other things).

When [=SpongeBob=] and Patrick cross paths with the mermaid fortune teller Kassandra, they receive a vial of King Neptune’s bath soap, made from genuine Mermaid Tears -- which, according to legend, can grant wishes for those pure of heart. Being the goofy goobers that they are, the duo make multiple wishes at once with the soap, ripping holes in the fabric of space and time. Not only does this unleash a horde of Cosmic Jelly onto Bikini Bottom, but it causes their friends to get lost in fantastical "Wishworlds" full of cowboys, ghosts, and cavemen (among many other things).

Thus, the task of rescuing their missing buddies and fending off the Cosmic Jelly falls onto [=SpongeBob=] -- with the help of Patrick, now turned into a balloon after their wishing misadventure. Donning a variety of cosmic costumes along the way, the duo must traverse the Wishworlds and hopefully bring everything back in order... little suspecting that Kassandra has her own devious plans for them.

''[=SpongeBob=] [=SquarePants=]: The Cosmic Shake'' is an upcoming [[LicensedGame licensed]] 3D action PlatformGame based on [[WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants the Nicktoon of the same name]]. It functions as a spiritual sequel to ''VideoGame/SpongeBobSquarePantsBattleForBikiniBottom'', with Purple Lamp Studios and Creator/THQNordic, the team behind the ''Rehydrated'' remake, returning as developer and publisher, respectively.

The game is planned to release on January 31, 2023 on the UsefulNotes/NintendoSwitch, UsefulNotes/PlayStation4, UsefulNotes/XboxOne and PC (via UsefulNotes/{{Steam}}).

''The Cosmic Shake'' notably uses music licensed from the Associated Production Music library, the same library that provides much of the show's background music. This is a first for games based on the series, which have traditionally used songs originally composed for the show or entirely new music. According to its Steam page, 101 songs from the show will appear in the game -- as demonstrated by the reveal trailer, which prominently features APM's "Sweet Victory" from the episode [[Recap/SpongeBobSquarePantsS2E15TheSecretBoxBandGeeks "Band Geeks".]]
