Bubblestand

 * "SpongeBob shows Patrick and Squidward his unique talent for blowing bubbles. Squidward attempts to surpass SpongeBob's expertise but not everything goes according to plan!"

Ripped Pants

 * "When SpongeBob tries to impress Sandy Cheeks at Mussel Beach, he accidentally rips his pants. The beach crowd loves the unintentional joke until SpongeBob pushes it too far."

Jellyfishing

 * "While Squidward is recovering from an accident, SpongeBob and Patrick take him jellyfishing. But the two unwittingly thrust poor Squidward into the hazardous rigors of their favorite pastime."

Plankton

 * "When evil Plankton takes control of his brain, SpongeBob must fight his own body to prevent himself from revealing the top secret Krabby Patty recipe!"

Trivia

 * There are two printings of the box for Volume 1, but rather than advertising the episodes Bubblestand and Ripped Pants, it advertises Hall Monitor and Jellyfish Jam. It is unknown if a Volume 1 containing these two episodes actually exists. Aside from this change, they are the same boxes.
 * They still advertise Jellyfishing and Plankton on the box.
 * Some Spongebob SquarePants episodes, in fact, do indeed appear in all of the first, second, and third volume of the Nicktoons Collection lineup. This is how SpongeBob SquarePants was very popular over its course of the GBA Video brand.
