  • The Glove World maze originally housed an enemy known as Mother Jellyfish.
  • SpongeBob's Pineapple has an unused track titled "Sketchy Chase" that is never heard, containing similar sounds to the level's main theme.
  • The sand maze portion of Patrick's Rock was originally a section of sand doors instead, a guessing game where the player had to guess the correct door and reach the end.
  • Squidward's Monument has a unused theme named "Squidie 1" that is never heard in-game.
    • After the game's files were found and released, it was discovered the track isn't even in the files, suggesting it was cut very early in development.
  • The Angler designs were originally blue Pinkies with hats, before being replaced with the current design.
  • Jellien Mrs. Puff originally used the same AI as Anglers before receiving her own.
  • Industrial Park originally had a segment in between the alleyways and the rooftops where the player played as SpongeBob and Patrick in their biplane.
  • Wormy was originally going to be an enemy in Sandy's Treedome that would chase the player and have a 50% of waking Sandy if he caught them. The video file for Wormy's jump scare is actually kept within a folder containing other videos, and is the only unused file in the folder, suggesting Wormy got cut late in development.
  • Acorn bots originally appeared, essentially being moving sticks.
  • The Sandy's Treedome level was originally quite different. Instead of going in and out of the tree and constructing the flamethrower, the level originally was exclusively outside and had the player finding torches to melt the ice. Ironically, Word of God states that this version was cut for being too easy, and not worthy of being the semifinal level. The used version of Sandy's Treedome is often stated as one of the hardest levels in the game.
  • Doodle Patrick's original boss theme was a theme named "Doodle Demise" before being replaced with the used version. Doodle Demise was later reused as the trailer theme.
    • Interestingly, a second version of Doodle Demise can be found in the files that is slower and lower pitched.
  • There was a cut segment titled "Neptune's Bout" where the player would have played through harder versions of segments already in-game. Known segments would have included Big Lenny, Left Glovey, and Doodle Patrick.
  • Several unused sound effect files can be found in game, FirstPersonTemplateWeaponFire02.ogg, CompileSuccess.ogg, and CompileFailed.ogg. Based on their names it is assumed they were placeholder sound files.
  • An unused image file titled MAT_Groups_Visibility.png contains a realistic eye. Its name and file location give no obvious intent of its use, which is unknown. A theorized use was that it was a placeholder or early asset for Patrick's realistic face in Goofy Goobers.
