'''SpongeBob's Nicktoon Summer Splash''' was a weekday afternoon summer block that ran from 2:00pm to 5:00pm<ref name="Nickstory"/> (extended to start at 11:00am during the block's final week on Nickelodeon<ref name="Nickstory5"> [https://nickstory.fandom.com/wiki/August_27,_2001 August 27, 2001 - Nickstory]</ref>) during Summer {{Time|2000}} and Summer {{Time|2001}} on [[Nickelodeon]]. {{Link|SpongeBob}} and {{Link|Patrick}} hosted interstials running before, between, and after the show - with {{Link|Squidward}} co-hosting, and {{Link|Sandy}} in the control room. Other characters like [[Gary the Snail|Gary]] and [[Sheldon J. Plankton|Plankton]] appear in the block as well.

Every weekday, a different 3-hour marathon would be aired: ''{{W|Rugrats}}'' on Mondays, ''{{W|Rocket Power}}'' on Tuesdays, ''{{W|The Wild Thornberrys}}'' on Wednesday, ''{{W|Hey Arnold!}}'' on Thursdays, and ''{{W|Rocko's Modern Life}}'' on Fridays. ''Rocko'' only aired one week, and was later replaced by ''{{W|CatDog}}''.<ref name="nickstory6"> [https://nickstory.fandom.com/wiki/July_7,_2000 Nickstory - July 7, 2000]</ref> When the block was extended by 3 hours during the week of {{Time|August 27}}, {{Time|2001}},<ref name="Nickstory5"/> each show got an extra 3-hour slot at 11:00am: ''Hey Arnold!'' aired on Monday, ''CatDog'' aired on Tuesday, ''Rugrats'' aired on Wednesday, ''Rocket Power'' aired on Thursday, and ''The Wild Thornberrys'' aired on Friday.

In {{Time|2002}}, ''SpongeBob's Nicktoon Summer Splash'' was replaced with ''[[Nicktoons Summer Beach House]]'' which was hosted by various [[Nicktoons]] characters and ended in {{Time|2003}}. In {{Time|2006}}, the concept of running weekday afternoon marathons was revived when Nickelodeon created another block called ''The Summer Nick Pack'', which also presented Nicktoon marathons every weekday.

Both {{W|Nickelodeon Australia|Australia}} and the {{W|Nickelodeon UK|United Kingdom}} featured variations of the continuously reincarnated summer marathons. Australia's edition of the block aired in December and January, which is summer in the Southern Hemisphere.<ref name="Rugrats"/> A few months later, the United Kingdom recycled the block's marathons during the Spring 2003 holidays (which started {{Time|April 14}}) and renamed it '''SpongeBob TV''', having the same schedule as the Summer Splash<ref name="Rugrats"/> - however, the block ran during weekday mornings instead of weekday afternoons, and aired for two hours instead of three. 

During Summer 2003, [[Nicktoons|Nicktoons TV US]] presented an extra-large Summer Splash running from 8:00am to 8:00pm.<ref name="Rugrats"/> (On Saturdays, the block gained 3 extra primetime hours, instead running from 8:00am - 11:00pm.<ref name="Rugrats"/>)

==Credits==
[[File:130px-Nick.com Spongebob's Nicktoon Summer Splash (2).png|thumb|260px|This is the logo that was used during the credits]]
These are four examples of the credits during each show:
# Patrick asks SpongeBob what "those things" are, and SpongeBob tells Patrick that they are credits and they come after every episode of (insert show name here). Patrick becomes worried, but SpongeBob tells him that the credits also mean there is another episode coming up after a few short commercials.
#SpongeBob tells the viewers to stay calm and that he shall present more (insert show name here) soon, while in the meantime, [[Realistic Fish Head|Mr. Fish]] would like to make a "complaint." The latter tells the viewers that choosing the shows is hard work, so he asks them to vote for the Daily U-Pick.
#SpongeBob asks Patrick what's better than a [[Krabby Patty]], and Patrick responds by saying "Nothing's better than a Krabby Patty!" SpongeBob agrees, then asks him what's almost good as a Krabby Patty, then tells him that is more (insert show name here), which is coming up next. Patrick agrees that it really is good, then says "I'm hungry”.
#SpongeBob tells the viewers to not move a muscle because "there's more where that came from right after the break". Patrick literally doesn't move a muscle, including his mouth, so he sounds gibberish. SpongeBob tells him he meant the leg muscles so the viewers wouldn't wander off and miss part of the Summer Splash. Patrick exhales and sits down as he says, "Thank [[King Neptune|Neptune]]! That was hard!"

==Trivia==
===General===
*Because the show was still around a year old by this time, the animation looks stiff and off-model, due to a more limited budget than the real series. The animation would appear closer to the actual show by {{Time|2001}}.
**The same exact rig was then used in episode #4229 of {{W|Jeopardy!}} which featured [[Nickelodeon]] characters, including {{Link|SpongeBob SquarePants}} in {{Time|2003}}, yet changed to be more modernized.
*The title card looks similar to the {{W|GBA}} and {{W|DS}} versions of ''[[SpongeBob's Atlantis SquarePantis]]''.
*This is the first ''SpongeBob''-focused event.
*In the intro, the acorn on Sandy's patch has the same colors as the rest of her patch.

===Errors===
[[File:Error_in_SpongeBob's_Nicktoons_Summer_Splash.jpg|thumb|260px|SpongeBob's offset eyes and overlapping nose]]
*During a split screen credits segment  of from ''{{W|The Wild Thornberrys}}'', when SpongeBob says, "As what I was saying," his eyes are offset and his nose starts to overlap. This was likely the result of the limited budget used in animation.
*In some of the scenes Patrick is seen with his [[season 1]]-era M-shaped eyebrows, and others he is seen with his newer Z-shaped eyebrows.
