Trivia[edit | edit source]
- The Sponge gets its name from the term "damage sponge" due to the Sponge's ability to increase the survivability of the player.
Notes[edit | edit source]
- Although the Sea Shell allows the player to ignore water physics, the Sponge does not.
- Shell Speed Boost will not be granted on hit if the player has the Panic Necklace or any of its upgrades equipped.
