Reception

Bryan Pope of the DVD Verdict, praised the video and audio quality on the set, as well as the episodes themselves, calling the season "the best one of the Nickelodeon mainstay." However, he questioned the inclusion of the pilot episode of the show in this set "now instead of in its natural spot with the first season."^[1]

Trivia

"Party Pooper Pants," "Ugh," and "The Sponge Who Could Fly" are all counted as double-length episodes.
The reason that the episode "Help Wanted" appears on the Season 3 DVD box set despite it being a season 1 episode is because during the production of the Season 1 DVD box set, they had copyright issues over the song "Livin' in the Sunlight, Lovin' in the Moonlight," which is featured in the episode, so they excluded it from the Season 1 DVD and promised to include it in a future DVD release.^[2]
In the Latin American version, "Just One Bite" and "The Bully" were replaced with "Welcome to the Chum Bucket" and "Frankendoodle" which there are episodes from season 2.
This is the first time the disc cases are thin rather than normal sized on a season DVD set.
This is the first SpongeBob season DVD box-set to show more than one character on the front cover.
For some reason, on disc 3, the theme song is a separate chapter instead of it being paired with the first episode on the disc in one chapter.
The episodes the disc covers are based on are:
- Disc 1: "Squilliam Returns"
- Disc 2: "Ugh"
- Disc 3: "Plankton's Army"
The floor on the disc 1 cover is dark gray. In "Squilliam Returns," the episode this disc cover is based on, it is dark blue.
The UK version has no special features.
The box-set cover shows Squidward wearing the sombrero he wears in "The Camping Episode."
- It also appeared in "Idiot Box."
One of the backings has Plankton escaping out of a pried hole, continuing on from the previous season 2 boxset where he was breaking in.
The Set Up and Special Features screens use images from the following episodes:
- Disc 1 Set Up: "New Student Starfish"
- Disc 1 Special Features: "Born Again Krabs"
- Disc 2 Set Up: "Plankton's Army"
- Disc 2 Special Features: "The Algae's Always Greener" and "Wet Painters"
- Disc 3 Set Up: "Missing Identity"
- Disc 3 Special Features: "Krabby Land"
- Pop-up trivia facts: "Fear of a Krabby Patty"

Errors

The episode description for "The Algae's Always Greener" suggests that the Transmogrifier switches lives for just one day, but that is never said in the episode.
In the episode description for "Club SpongeBob," it reads, "SpongeBob, Patrick and Squidward find themselves lost in the middle of nowhere, with only a magic conch to guide them." However, they are actually in the Kelp Forest.
