'''Atlantis''' is a city where all the good sea creatures stay in the afterlife, which makes it the underwater equivalent to {{W|Heaven}} and the opposite of [[Davy Jones' locker]]. It first appears in the episode "[[Neptune's Spatula]]." It's also where [[King Neptune]], King of Atlantis and God of the Seven Seas, lives.

==About==
===Description===
[[File:Neptune's Spatula 086.png|thumb|260px|Neptune's Royal Palace]]
The Atlantis in "Neptune's Spatula" looks different from the city in the episode "[[Atlantis SquarePantis]]." They either have drastically advanced in technology in the space between the two episodes or they are two different places altogether. Atlantis, as seen in "Atlantis SquarePantis," is the mythical Atlantis itself and has no relation to [[Bikini Bottom]] whatsoever. The royal government, led by [[Lord Royal Highness]], could be seen as a totalitarian regime.

The inhabitants in "Atlantis SquarePantis" have put away all weapons in an immense vault and maintain a monarchy, seeing how the [[Lord Royal Highness]] is their kind. The Atlanteans traveled countless light-years from their home planet and brought the [[oldest living bubble]] on the journey, living over a million years. The Atlanteans took great advances in weapons, wealth, science, art, and things that people took for granted in Bikini Bottom today.

===Buildings===

*The Poseidome (where {{Link|SpongeBob}} duels against [[King Neptune]] to make a thousand {{Link|Krabby Patties}} and to fight [[Robo-Sandy]] in ''[[Battle for Bikini Bottom]]'')
*The Royal Palace (Residence of L.R.H.)
*Old Bubble Exhibition building
*The Weapons Vault (contains all Atlantean-created weaponry, as the Atlanteans sealed away their entire arsenal to live in harmony with any sea life around them.)
*The Art Gallery (filled with paintings and other fine works of art)
*The Money Mountains (contains all wealth the Atlanteans obtained, albeit the Atlanteans also sealed this massive stockpile away in a vault so that they can focus on knowledge.)
*Invention Center (the science center of Atlantis)
*Dining Hall (a room in which visitors are given the best of Atlantean cuisine)
*The Landing Gardens (a great courtyard near the Atlantean Royal Palace)

==Trivia==
===General===
*If Lord Royal Highness is the ruler of Atlantis, King Neptune must have ended his reign on Atlantis and gave Bikini Bottom to his son, [[Triton]].
**King Neptune also could just rule the sea in general, while Lord Royal Highness just rules Atlantis.
***It is shown in ''[[The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie]]'' that King Neptune lives in the outskirts of Bikini Bottom instead of in Atlantis.
*By far, [[Patchy the Pirate]] is the only one who knew that Atlantis would later be revealed again before the events happened.

*SpongeBob mentions Atlantis in the episode "[[Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy]]." It is also mentioned by the narrator in "[[Krusty Krab Training Video]]."
*During the [[SpongeBob Z-A Countdown]] event, when after "[[Hooky]]" is aired, [[Patchy the Pirate]] went through the top 3 reasons to go to Atlantis:
**You never get lost in a lost city.
**All you can eat seafood buffet.
**No traffic.
*According to the real Atlantis legend, the buildings were made of stone. None of this was seen, for the artists decided to put futuristic designs and shuttles in this episode, unlike how the animators of ''{{W|Atlantis: The Lost Empire}}'' put their civilizations and designs where they had excluded designs for ancient Greece and Rome.
*Atlantis was originally supposed to appear in an earlier version of ''[[The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge on the Run]]''. Unlike its show counterpart, it was supposed to be a live-action metropolis with humans living in the city.<ref>https://twitter.com/Klusha68/status/1196864924414287873</ref>

===Cultural references===
*The inhabitants of Atlantis resemble the blue meanies in the 1960s film, ''{{W|Yellow Submarine (film)|Yellow Submarine}}''.
