Trivia
General
- This DVD also contains previews for various Nickelodeon shows and movies. These include Mad Hot Ballroom, Rugrats Tales from the Crib: Snow White, Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events, The Fairly OddParents DVDs and VHS tapes, older SpongeBob DVDs and VHS tapes, and Tak: The Great Juju Challenge.
- This is the second DVD with "The Sponge Who Could Fly" after the Lost at Sea DVD.
- This DVD has "Jellyfish Hunter" and "The Fry Cook Games" paired up in the same order, just like The Complete 2nd/Second Season, The First 100 Episodes, and The Best 200 Episodes Ever DVDs.
- "Karate Choppers" does not have its musical score changed on this DVD. This also applies to the VHS version, 10 Happiest Moments DVD, and the Deep-Sea Games DVD.
- The cover art contains references to the episodes "Ripped Pants," "Karate Choppers," "The Sponge Who Could Fly," and "Plankton's Army."
- However, in the case of the former episode, SpongeBob is shown ripping his regular pants instead of his blue swim trunks.
- At some point in 2014, this DVD set and Extreme Kah-Rah-Tay were released in a bundle called the SpongeBob SquarePants 2 Pack. [citation needed]
- The VHS version of this DVD is missing the season 3 episodes that are included in this DVD, despite both being released on the same day.
- A prototype cover for this DVD was shown on the DVD trailer for 2009 and some advertisement for the DVD. The prototype cover had a blue bar on the bottom and had the Nickelodeon Jellyfish on the front.
Errors

"Lost Episode" credits
- On the credits of this DVD, "The Sponge Who Could Fly" is simply called "Lost Episode," despite it being called "The Sponge Who Could Fly" everywhere else on the DVD.
- This error also happens on the Lost at Sea DVD.

"Belly."
- In the closed-captioning version of "Plankton's Army," Plankton says that "United, the Plankton family could be a real pain in the fanny!, the closed captions say "belly" instead of "fanny."
- The same closed-caption mistake also occurred on the SpongeBob Goes Prehistoric and Complete Third Seasons DVDs.
