SpongeBob SquarePants: The Cosmic Shake - How To Complete All Side-Quests | Bikini Bottom Gold Doubloons Guide

The toughest doubloons are all in Bikini Bottom. In Spongebob Squarepants: The Cosmic Shake, a bottle of cosmic bubble fluid has busted a hole in the space-time continuum, creating weird worlds all over Bikini Bottom. There are seven worlds total, and each one is home to doubloons. As you progress, you’ll also find side-quests in Bikini Bottom. Spongebob’s pals will request different collectibles. You’ll get asked for refreshments, fortune cookies, and much more. These appear in specific levels, forcing you to replay levels you’ve already completed to find everything. If you’re sick of searching, we’ve got all the side-quest collectible locations listed below. Yes, even Spotty.

Gold Doubloons Locations | Bikini Bottom

Gold Doubloons are optional collectibles that unlock costume tiers from the shop. By collecting hidden Gold Doubloons, you’ll make more costumes available for purchase in the shop menu. Gold Doubloons are hidden through side-quests, in the environment, or by completing challenges. Some challenges can’t be completed until after returning to a level. If a lock icon appears over an element on the stage, you’ll need to return later after unlocking more abilities for Spongebob.

Gold Doubloon #1: Find all 9 Sticky Notes hidden throughout Bikini Bottom. You won’t be able to find them all until you unlock every ability for Spongebob.

Sticky Note #1: Next to Sandy’s Tree Dome, use the bottom (only works after unlocking Karate Kick) to summon karate balloons. Kick up to the high ledge and defeat the jelly enemies to earn this note.
Sticky Note #2: Use a bubble on the switch behind Squidward’s House. Bounce up to the roof, then blow bubbles at the floating switches to make more wooden platforms appear in the air. Follow the platforms and glide to this sticky note.
Sticky Note #3: From Spongebob’s House, use the slingshot to land on the roof of the Chum Bucket. Ground pound the hook button — a series of hooks, karate balloons and boost rings will appear in the sky. Navigate the tricky platforming path to land on the mountain between Spongebob’s House and the Chum Bucket where a sticky note is located.
Sticky Note #4: To the left of the Krusty Krab’s (Former) location, there’s a red button you can ground pound on the hill. Hit it and jump up the wooden platforms that appear. This leads to a mountain cliff ledge with this note.
Sticky Note #5: Behind Spongebob’s House, after completing Level 4, you’ll find three bulbs connected to buttons. Press all three buttons by following the power lines from the bulbs and a slingshot will appear. Ride up and defeat the jelly ambush. A path from the shipwreck leads to this note.

Sticky Note #6: Far left of the Krusty Krab, look for the edge of the lagoon. There’s a button you can stomp here that spawns a bubble surfboard. Ride it through the obstacle course over the water. If you can reach the end before 19 seconds are up, a sticky note will spawn.
Sticky Note #7: After completing Level 7, a Reefblower will spawn to the right and behind Spongebob’s house, near the bounce pad leading to a giant stack of stone tiki crates. Use the Reefblower and blast the stone crates to break them. Hop on another bounce pad that is revealed, then use the Reefblower to defeat all the enemies on the upper level. A sticky note will spawn after defeating the giant tentacle jelly creature.
Sticky Note #8: At Ms. Puff’s Boating School, complete Level 6 to access the top level of the school. After helping Ms. Puff and traveling to Level 7, you can return to Bikini Bottom and use the bounce pad near the entrance to reach the top of the Boating School. From the roof, you can jump to this sticky note.
Sticky Note #9: To the left of Mr. Krabs’s house, there’s an archway with seahorse signs. Ride through with a seahorse to make flaming rings appear. Complete the flaming ring course without taking too much damage to earn a sticky note.

Hot Object #3: Lava Cave – Found in the center of the section where stone platforms float down the lava river. You’ll have to jump across the stones, fighting against the movement of the current to reach the opposite side. The Hot Object floats in the center. You’ll need to time your jumps to reach it.
Hot Object #4: Lava Cave – Progress to the section where Spongebob rides a boulder down a linear lava river. Straight ahead, there’s a floating Hot Object you can reach by rolling onto the geyser of lava.
Hot Object #5: Lava Cave – Further down the Lava Cave, you’ll reach a lava area with a hole in the center and a magma geiser. Ride the geiser up with your rolling boulder to reach the last object.
