Version Differences#

To do: Get images.

• All console versions appear to render with a dynamic resolution. The PC version lacks this, instead having a fixed resolution based on the setting chosen in the options menu.
  • In addition, the PC version has support for aspect ratios that aren't 16:9, such as 16:10 (the resolution used on the Steam Deck).
• All console versions target 60fps, except for the Nintendo Switch version, which targets 30fps. The PC version has options for frame rates higher than 60fps, as well as completely removing the frame rate cap.
• Visuals vary depending on the platform:
  • Graphics settings are at the highest on the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S versions, most notably with the shadow quality.
  • The Nintendo Switch version has simpler post-processing (depth-of-field, motion blur, screen-space reflections and ambient occlusion are disabled entirely, for example) and lower level-of-detail distances.
    • Oddly enough, the option to enable/disable motion blur still exists in this version. Due to it being disabled completely, this toggle doesn't do anything.
• Initially, the Nintendo Switch version was the only version of the game to lack character portraits in the stages that included them, such as Wild West Jellyfish Fields and Karate Downtown Bikini Bottom, which the other versions had. For reasons unknown, the 1.03 update would disable these entirely across all platforms.
