Trivia[]
General[]
- This game is similar to Cooking Fever.
- This game's premise of the player helping SpongeBob making Krabby Patties is the same as SpongeBob Diner Dash.
- Despite Patrick, Squidward, and Sandy appearing as playable chefs, they will still appear as customers at the same time.
- In the game's pre-registration, the player would receive a special gift bundle upon opening the game, which includes gifts such as a player avatar, an Apple/Android exclusive decoration depending on the platform and more.
- The game's first teaser uses an edited version of The Complete Tenth Season DVD cover.
2022 copyright on the back of physical Nintendo Switch release.
- Even though the game's physcial Nintendo Switch release was in 2023, the back of the case has a copyright date of 2022. This is most likely due to the physical Nintendo Switch version being completed and started manufacturing in 2022 along with originally being planned to release in late 2022 before being delayed to 2023.
- This is the first SpongeBob SquarePants mobile game to be ported digitally on a video game console before being released physically.
- This is the second SpongeBob SquarePants video game to be released for the Nintendo Switch. The first was Battle for Bikini Bottom: Rehydrated.
- This is also the fourth video game on the Nintendo Switch to feature SpongeBob after Nickelodeon Kart Racers, Battle for Bikini Bottom: Rehydrated, and Nickelodeon Kart Racers 2: Grand Prix.
