SpongeBob and Patrick are overjoyed, and several characters that they met throughout the game jump out and say "Surprise!". They all ride the rides and have lots of fun. The end shows them all leaving Neptune's Paradise, except Patrick, who is still on the rides.

Trivia

• Somewhere in each chapter, a mysterious character known as "The familiar man" is encountered. When SpongeBob notes that he has seen him before, the man denies ever having met him. At the end of the game, it is revealed that the man has hundreds of identical brothers, and that SpongeBob met a different one each time.
• If one clicks on the Operation Krabby Patty poster in the television station, SpongeBob will break the fourth wall by saying, "Operation Krabby Patty, that was my very first game. Good times, good times."
• In Chapter Two, there is a man named Jojo fixing an antenna who asks SpongeBob for a can of "Kelpsi" and SpongeBob gets him a "Diet Caffene Free Coral Cola with a Lemon Twist"; these are obvious parodies of Pepsi and Coca-Cola.
• The "SpringBoob SquirePin" joke is taken from the episode "Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy 2".
• When pointing the cursor over the giant candle in the room with the Slot machine in chapter two, the game will say "Look at Giant Freakin' Candle".
• When Mr. Krabs opens the envelope containing tickets to Neptune's Paradise, the name "Nickelodeon" can be identified on the blurred-out stamp. Also, in the PC version of Battle for Bikini Bottom it is featured as a demo.
• The PC version of SpongeBob SquarePants movie Video Game and Lights Camera Pants uses the same Gameplay.
• SpongeBob has a pinup of Sandy in his locker at the Krusty Krab. If you click on it, he says "Sandy Cheeks, looking at her makes me smile," hinting at a possible romantic connection between the two.
