Sea Needle
The Sea Needle is the tallest building in Bikini Bottom. This may be a parody of the Space Needle in Seattle, Washington as it is almost the same shape as the real building. There is only a few times it is mentioned or seen like in the episode Pre-Hibernation Week. In that episode, Sandy and SpongeBob are at the top and have a q-tip boxing match at the top, which quickly ends when SpongeBob falls off. The Sea Needle was also seen in the video game Battle for Bikini Bottom (and its remaster, Battle for Bikini Bottom Rehydrated) where you have to pay the clam 2,400 shiny objects to gain access to the Sea Needle and there are 2 missions you have to do.
[edit] Design
The Sea Needle is very tall, and it is very sharp at the top. Compared to other buildings which look small while looking down, the Sea Needle is capable of being the tallest building in Bikini Bottom. There is a small sign pointing to it. In the middle of it is a yellow ring and it is standing on a metal platform. The Sea Needle is possibly supposed to resemble the aforementioned Space Needle. In the episode, at first you do not know where Sandy and SpongeBob are, but then the camera cuts to a wider shot, and you see them on top of a giant needle. This seems impossible from our perspective, but close up, the top must be a few feet wide at least.
