* EldritchAbomination: The sentient Cosmic Jelly monsters that invade Bikini Bottom and the Wishworlds. Little is known how are these sentient blobs of jelly are alive and almost none of them (barring the regular Jellies and the Big Jellies) resemble any known characters in the series. No two Cosmic Jelly creature types look remotely similar to each other barring the color and eye type, and thus can be seen as different species. Their language (if they even have one) [[StarfishLanguage is composed of incomprehensible gibberish]].

* JumpScare: The only way to defeat a Spooky Jelly is to sneak up behind it and scare it.
* KungFuProofMook: Some species of Cosmic Jelly possess resistances or outright immunities towards certain attacks that [=SpongeBob=] uses and forces him to use unconventional tactics to defeat.

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 bubble-based 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).

* KungFuProofMook:

* LeaningOnTheFourthWall: One female NPC [=SpongeBob=] can come across early on asks him if he ever feels like he's being controlled by a higher power. Or some kid.

* HubUnderAttack: As you complete more levels, some sections in the hub world of Bikini Bottom becomes invaded by various enemies from those levels.

* CircusOfFear: [[spoiler:The final level takes place in Glove World after being corrupted by the Cosmic Jelly and completely cut off from the rest of Bikini Bottom. The theme park's mascot, Glovey Glove, has [[GoMadFromTheIsolation went mad]], and serves as the level's boss fight.]]

*** If you're unsure of where to go next, Patrick will turn into an arrow and point to the relevant item, location or [=NPC=].

** After being playable in ''Battle for Bikini Bottom'', Patrick is relegated to a NonPlayerCompanion (albeit one who's by [=SpongeBob=]'s side for most of the game), while Sandy is a boss and recurring [=NPC=].
** Plankton goes from being the usual BigBad of ''[=SpongeBob=]'' games to a [=NPC=], and has no bearing on the plot besides a comment about somebody else possibly causing trouble.

* AntiFrustrationFeatures: Courtesy of [[NonPlayerCompanion Balloon Patrick]]:
** If [=SpongeBob=] gets reduced to one hit point, Patrick will bring him another pair of underwear after a few seconds to ensure he can take another hit without dying.
** If you're unsure of where to go next, Patrick will turn into an arrow and point to the relevant item, location or [=NPC=].
** Falling into a hazardous surface like goo or jelly while [=SpongeBob=] has more than one hit point will have Patrick [[BottomlessPitRescueService fly him to safety]] without needing to return to the last checkpoint.

* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: At the start of the plot, [=SpongeBob=] acquires bath soap made from Mermaid Tears, which have wish-granting properties. However, as a result of the bubble collision caused from excessive wishing, the effects all occurred at once with unexpected results. For instance, Patrick wished for "the biggest, ballooniest adventure he'll ever have", and was [[ForcedTransformation turned into a balloon]] as a result of the disaster.

* InformedSpecies: Prehistoric Kelp Forest features a giant prehistoric whale-like creature, seen in the episode "Ugh", is identified as a ''Dorudon''. However, the real-life ''Dorudon'' resembled more of a dolphin and did not have a row of fins running down its back or small spines on the forehead, plus the creature in the game is missing the vestigial hind-flippers of ''Dorudon''.

* NonPlayerCompanion: A tiny balloon-ifyed Patrick accompanies [=SpongeBob=] on his adventure, and [=SpongeBob=] can briefly summon him to assist him in combat.

* VideoGameCrueltyPotential: The game allows you to hit NPC characters you encounter, which will make them either yell out in irritation or pain. Doing this enough times awards you an achievement.

* DemotedToExtra: Patrick and Sandy go from playable characters in ''Battle for Bikini Bottom'' to [=NPCs=] in this game. Patrick is relegated to a NonPlayerCompanion (albeit one who's by [=SpongeBob=]'s side for most of the game), while Sandy is a boss and recurring [=NPC=].

* HereWeGoAgain: [[spoiler: At the game’s end, King Neptune rewards [=SpongeBob=] for defeating Kassandra by allowing him one wish with his bath soap... which Patrick bungles by wishing they could go through everything again.]]

* MirrorWorld: Several of the levels in this game take levels from [[VideoGame/SpongeBobSquarepantsBattleForBikiniBottom Battle for Bikini Bottom]] and apply new themes to them, changing their layouts quite drastically, such as [[GreenHillZone Jellyfish Fields]] taking place in TheWildWest.

** 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.
