In "Ripped Pants," SpongeBob was wearing underwear under his swimsuit, but on the cover of this VHS tape, he doesn't have underwear on.
The screenshots used on the back of this VHS tape are promo art images and not actual episode images. Here are those promo art images and what episodes they represent:

The episodes on this VHS tape and Sponge Buddies make up the Nautical Nonsense and Sponge Buddies DVD, which has the same release date as both of those VHS tapes.
This also makes up the Undersea Antics Volume 1 VHS.
The previews from this VHS tape are the same previews as SpongeBob SquarePants: Sponge Buddies 2002 VHS tape.
This VHS tape and Sponge Buddies are the first SpongeBob SquarePants VHS tapes to use the Paramount logo from 1986 in the opening, but not the last.
The trailer for this and Sponge Buddies on VHS and DVD include clips from "Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy," "Plankton!," and "Dumped," even though those episodes are not included on either of these VHS tapes or the DVD mentioned above.

In all Nickelodeon USA, Nicktoons USA, Nick@Nite, UK airings^[1] of the episode "Something Smells" along with the iTunes, Amazon Prime Video, and Paramount+ digital versions, SpongeBob walks up to a building and says, "Hi, building!" which causes the building to flee from SpongeBob's breath. He goes up to Patrick and says, "I just don't get it!" and Patrick says, "I don't either."
- On this VHS tape, the Undersea Antics Volume 1 VHS tape, all DVD releases, the Nick Scene It? DVD game, the VideoNow disc, the It's a SpongeBob Christmas! Blu-ray, Canadian airings on YTV and Nickelodeon Canada, Polish airings, French airings, Australian airings, and Arab airings, the scene instead goes like this:
- SpongeBob: [walks up to a building and waves] I just don't get it! [The building flees]
- Patrick: [off-screen] I don't, either. [SpongeBob walks up to Patrick; the rest of the scene goes as normal, resulting in the same lines being repeated]. According to the audio commentary on The Complete 2nd Season DVD, this was a sound mixing error. The music also repeats itself incorrectly at that point. It is made obvious since SpongeBob's mouth still clearly says the intended line.

"Graveyard Shift" is listed as "The Graveyard Shift" on the back of this VHS tape and the closing credits.
- This also happens on the Undersea Antics Volume 1 VHS tape, the Nautical Nonsense and Sponge Buddies, Complete 2nd Season, Sponge Crazy, First 100 Episodes, Really Big Box Set, Complete Second Season, From the Beginning, Part 1, Nautical Nonsense digital release, The First & Second Seasons, The Best 200 Episodes Ever, and The Best 300 Episodes Ever DVDs, and It's a SpongeBob Christmas! Blu-ray.
The description for "Something Smells" says SpongeBob ate sea onion ice cream which gives him bad breath, when in the actual episode, it was a peanut onion sundae that he ate. It also said Patrick ate sea onion bon bons which causes him to get the bad breath, when in the episode, he ate the sundae.
The closing credits for "SB-129" have Clancy Brown credited as playing Mr. Krabs, despite the fact that he was not in the episode.
Sandy's eyelashes are seen in the front cover when she laughs and closes her eyes, even though her eyelashes are not suppose to be seen when she closes her eyes.
- This happens on the Nautical Nonsense and Sponge Buddies DVD.
