The Patrick Star Game is a third-person physics-based sandbox game where players can interact with almost everything in Bikini Bottom as they can pick up hammers, bash through buildings, use reef blowers to suck in items or Bikini Bottomites to fire at targets, and giant magnets to swing heavy objects around. Players can also complete tasks to earn sand dollars and unlock costumes. There are also minigames and quests players can play and complete in the game; each quest would give the player sand dollars.[ citation needed ]
