Episode Summary

The Rocket kids save up enough money to enter into the New Zealand Junior Waikikamukau Games, an extreme sports competition involving 4 different events. When Otto and the gang realize they will be competing against the kids of the man who beat Ray in the same competition many years ago, it sets the stage for a rivalry that will be played out in the race. Can the Rocket kids stop arguing amongst themselves and deal with their own equipment being sabotaged by the McGills to come out victorious in the various events?moreless

  • The Rocket Gang travel to New Zealand to compete in the Junior Waikikamukau Extreme Sports competition. A hardly amusing and broadly ignorant overview of New Zealand ensues.

    "Abysmal"
    By kiwigirl85, Jul 07, 2010 Report Abuse
    As a New Zealander, I found this episode offensive and under-researched. I did not find it humorous, and we New Zealanders are usually the first people to make fun of ourselves. The accents were utterly terrible - not only were they Australian accents, but poorly performed Australian accents. Not just an insult to New Zealand, but to Australia as well. The Maori culture (of the people indigenous to the country) was grossly misrepresented. I am Maori and did not enjoy seeing the way in which my people were portrayed. While there are some similarities between Hawaiian and Maori cultures, do not presume that because you know one, you know the other. Maoris are not Hawaiians! The pronunciation of Maori words was shocking and stripped these usually beautiful words of all discernable meaning. Also, the kiwi is a nocturnal bird and would never be seen in daylight. A bit more careful research would have avoided all these errors. The writers of this show have only succeeded in showing their ignorance of anything outside their own world. There, now I've had my rant. Thank you for reading.moreless

    • Why did they only give Reggie a 1/2 a win for the last race? If Theodore was disqualified, she should have been given the whole point, therefore making her the winner. Edit
    • All the voices of the New Zealand characters are done with an Australian accent, rather than a New Zealand accent. Edit
    • Reply to goof 3:How is this a goof?She can change her clothes for christ's sake! Edit

    • Twister: I'm just glad to be back home where right is right, left is left, summer is summer, and no brain sucking glow worms! Edit
    • Twister: What's up with that dude? He's not that good. Otto: Yeah, but he thinks he is. Dudes like that are so bogus. Reggie: Remind you of anyone, Otto? Edit
    • Chester McGill: ...and the individual with the most first place finishes overall will be crowned Prince Waikikamukau. Reggie: Or Princess! Waikikamukau!! (Waves her hand to make sure that everyone knows who said that) Chester McGill: I stand corrected. Edit
