Here are a few rules:

Nicktoons crossovers are counted.
Bold means the character was the main character of and/or played a major role in a specific episode, movie, short, book or video game.
Italic means the character appears in a feature-length movie, a book, a video game, or a musical. It is also used for the titles of television shows that the specific character appears in.
Episodes where a character cameos, appears in a deleted scene, appears as a entirely different character not related to him/her/them or appears in a time card (e.g. Born Again Krabs), as well as episodes where only his/her/their voice is heard, count as episode appearances. However, episodes where a character is a entirely different character related to him/her/them (e.g. the robots in Welcome to Binary Bottom) do not count.
All episodes are listed by production order unless an episode has only one segment broadcast at the moment. Upcoming episodes with available screenshots are acceptable.
