Notes

• When the series initially aired as a sneak peek on Nicktoons Global from October 6 to December 31, 2022, it aired in every country the channel was available in with the exception of Denmark, Norway, and Sweden. Different programs, such as Fanboy & Chum Chum, replaced Best & Bester in the schedule instead. The series eventually began airing in Scandinavia on January 9, 2023, with the proper premiere of the series on the channel.
  • Similarly, prior to January 9, 2023, the Croatian, Serbian and Slovene audio tracks on the channel carried the original English version. In addition, the series was given a different title translation in Serbian, Najbolji i bolji.
