The game comes with two collector’s editions if you’re a fan of that sort of thing.
The Shiny Edition includes a SpongeBob figure, stickers, tennis socks and a copy of the game. Meanwhile, the F.U.N Edition, with comes with all the same swag as the Shiny Edition, but also includes figures of Patrick and Sandy, and a set of Tiki keyrings.
