About

Description

Atlantis is the mythical Atlantis itself and has no relation to Bikini Bottom whatsoever, most likely because it's a hidden and isolated city. The royal government, led by Lord Royal Highness could be seen as a totalitarian regime.

The inhabitants of Atlantis have put away all weapons in an immense vault and maintain a monarchy, seeing how 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 Royal Palace (Residence of Lord Royal Highness)
• Old Bubble Exhibition building
• The Weapons Vault (contains all Atlantean-created weaponry that shoots ice cream)
• The Art Gallery (filled with paintings and other works of art)
• The Money Mountains (contains all wealth the Atlanteans obtained)
• 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

• By far, Patchy the Pirate is the only one who knew that Atlantis would be revealed before the events of the episode.
• 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 Atlantis: The Lost Empire put their civilizations and designs where they had excluded designs for ancient Greece and Rome.

Cultural references

• The inhabitants of Atlantis resemble the blue meanies in the 1960s film, Yellow Submarine.
