SpongeBob's signature outfit throughout the SpongeBob SquarePants series is the white shirt, red tie, and brown pants combination. Yet, he has been known to don many different attires over the years to fit the situation. And many of those costumes, along with some new ones, feature in SpongeBob SquarePants: The Cosmic Shake. In fact, they were par🏅t of the marketing of🌳 the title.
While making your way through the adventure, you will be given a different outfit for every world. However, they aren't the only costumes in the game. There are also several others you can wear. This is how to unlock and equip them.
How To Equip Different Costumes
Early in the adventure, the game tells you about costumes. Yet, it doesn't inform you how to switch to a different one. Instead, Kassandra just puts you in a new getup before you travel through a portal. And the game makes it seem like you have to stick to the costume designed for that world. This is not the case, as once you go through the portal, you're free to equip another outfit.
You do so by going into the pause menu and flicking over to the costumes shop tab. From there, you can freely select a getup from the ones you've unlocked.
How To Unlock Different Costumes
Not only can you equip outfits from the costumes menu, but you can also unlock them from there, too. The ones in the campaign section will unlock automatically as you play through the adventure.
The other ones are separated into tiers. And you may notice that beside each tier is a gold coin with a number next to it. This indicates how many coins you need to unlock that specific tier.
It isn't a voluntary unlocking, though. As soon as you get enough coins for a tier, the game will automatically unlock it and take away your in-game money. While it's a bit odd, the system makes sense considering you can't spend the coins on anything else.
You can find gold coins𒅌 hidden around every world.
It's important to know that when a tier unlocks, you don't automatically receive the outfits within it. Instead, they simply become available for you to purchase with the jelly you've accumulated during your travels.
To do so, simply hover over them and hit the purchase button (indicated at the bottom of the screen).
