Bubble transitions in "SpongeHenge"

Bubble transitions are when one scene changes to another, with bubbles floating across the screen.

Variants

There have sometimes been episodes where the floating bubbles across the screen are replaced with something else.

• In "Texas," they are replaced with a page turning like the scene was a page in a book.
• In "Born to Be Wild," Template:Data:Links breaks the fourth wall by riding on the bubble transition.
• In "It's a SpongeBob Christmas!," the transitioning bubbles are replaced with snowflakes and one transitioning scene with coal.
• In "Squid Defense," karate chop transitions are used instead of the regular transition.
• In "SpongeBob's Place," after Template:Data:Links builds a trench filled with molten lava near the Krusty Krab door, the customers step over him to go to SpongeBob's Place (to which the Krusty Krab moves). After Krabs' plan to keep his customers backfires, the transitioning bubbles to the next scene are replaced with the lava bubbles.
• In "There's a Sponge in My Soup," the transitioning bubbles are replaced with hippie feathers.

Trivia

• "Reef Blower," "The Camping Episode," and "Rise and Shine" are the only episodes without bubble transitions.
