by Mike Alexander / Articles, Game Controls & Hotkeys, Misc. Guides / 01 Aug 2023

SpongeBob isn’t in Bikini Bottom anymore. When he and Patrick get a hold of some Mermaid’s Tears, they find themselves on an inter-dimensional adventure that takes them to wackier places than they could ever even imagine. Portals, collapsing universes, and the classic SpongeBob Shenanigans you know and love are all present in SpongeBob SquarePants: The Cosmic Shake.

As SpongeBob, Patrick, and other citizens of Bikini Bottom experience these warped, twisted worlds, they’ll need to fight enemies, solve puzzles, and don hilarious costumes in order to fix the multiverse they broke. This might look like a common third-person action game, but you’re going to need more than a sense of humor and a spatula to get yourself out of this mess!

You’re going to need complete mastery of the controls to take advantage of SpongeBob’s repertoire of moves and abilities. Whether it’s sneaking, running, jumping, or ka-ra-te, there’s a right way to do it, and if you do it wrong, you’ll be lost in the broken multiverse, sucked into a wild and crazy place you never knew existed.

But it doesn’t have to be that way! We can help you fix these universes and have fun at the same time with this helpful resource that illustrates all of the controls you need to know. Look over it, keep it close, and it will help you and the Bikini Bottom Gang bust up enemies and put things right so you can go back to jellyfishing and the other regular shenanigans you love!
