An animation and sound effect for an unused Whirlpool attack can be found among the assets for the Mermaid Man costume.

In addition, there is an unused line from the French Narrator describing the attack.

Voice files describing another version of the Jellyfish Rodeo mini-game present in the GBA version using GBA Link remain in the game's audio files. Certain levels would have a special Jellyfish Rodeo Tent that appears when a GBA is connected and you would enter one to start the mini-game.

There was an unused GBA ROM in the files "radar.bin" That ROM had to be for this cut GBA Link feature. It just shows a blank white screen sadly on the GBA emulator.

Apparently, you would initiate the mini-game (at least in Bikini Bottom) by going into a special tent with a Jellyfish inside.

This feature was likely scrapped either due to development complications or communication problems with Vicarious Visions, the developer of the Game Boy Advance version of the game.

It seems the audience of kids were meant to do more than just express their disgust at the Dutchman's Treasures. The first one plays when finding the Jellyfish Fields Dutchman's Treasure. Strangely, the audience of kids remain silent for this in the final game. The second one plays when finding the Flying Dutchman's Graveyard Dutchman's Treasure. The regular "ew" sound is used instead. And the last one plays when finding the Goo Lagoon Dutchman's Treasure. The regular "ew" sound is used instead.
