Not long ago, in a galaxy far, far away...
- Yay! - Woo! - Yay! - Go, Super Numtum!
Time for the most exciting event in the whole wide world!
The Super Numtum Super Sky Glide Competition.
- Yay! - Yay! - Yay!
A competition to see who can glide the furthest on their paper plane.
Who will win?
Super Numtum or mischievous marsupial Fluffy McTuffy?
Well, me, of course. Mu-ha-ha!
May the best glider win.
OK, racers.
Ready, steady, fly!
And they're up, up and away, with Super Numtum in the lead.
Not for long.
How aero-naughty! That's not in the rule book.
Catch you later, Not-so-super Numtum.
CRASH!
Ha-ha-ha! Looks like you're flying on a paper penguin.
Yes, that's right...
And I shall win the race on my flying penguin!
Just one teensy, tiny problem, Fluffy...
What's that, Not-so-super Numtum?
Penguins can't fly.
Uh-oh.
Ha-ha!
Congratulations, Super Numtum, you've flown the furthest
and so win the competition.
But poor Fluffy McTuffy has landed in a muddy puddle.
Oh, poppsa-doodles!
- Yay! - Yay!
Tap-dancing termites,
I've got a brilliant idea.
Me too. Let's have our own competition.
We'll call it...
The Gumnut Games.
Awesome activities...
Speedy sports...
And challenging...challenges?
Better watch out, folks.
Back when I was knee-high to a flea, I was quite the athlete.
CRACK!
Oh! Oh! Oh! Better get back into training.
HE SNORES
Oh! Oh!
Num-tum!
Oh, oh!
Dearie me.
It's a beautiful day here at the Platypus Playhouse Playing Field
for the first ever Gumnut Games!
- Brilliant! - Yeah!
Now, can we please have a bit of shushy-shh for the opening ceremony?
Shh!
Fantabulous folk of Gumnut Gorge, welcome to the Gumnut Games -
a celebration of athletics,
strength and incredible physical feats.
Beautiful. Every Numtum who wins an event
will get their very own shimmery, shiny medal.
Oh, medal! Mmm.
The crowd bananas! The Gumnut Games champion, Humpty Do.
He can run the furthest,
lift the heaviest
and jump the highest.
CROWD: Humpty doo, Humpty Do!
Humpty Do! Humpty Do!
- What you doing? - Uh, I'm warming up.
Ah!
- The competition's about to start. - I'm coming.
The first event is the Gumnut Gorge weightlifting challenge!
Over to you, Mr Referee.
The Numtum who can lift the heaviest weight for the count of ten
wins a medal.
Ooh! Shiny!
Let the Games begin!
- Yeah! - Yeah!
Eeek!
Numtum!
Huh!
Huh, yes!
One, two, three,
four, five, six,
seven, eight, nine, ten.
Let's check out the results.
Coogee lifted a heavy weight for ten seconds.
Bendy Go lifted a heavier weight for ten seconds.
But Nimbin lifted the heaviest weight!
Tell us, Nimbin,
how did you find the strength to lift the heaviest weight?
Why, a strict wholesome diet of boiled Gumnut,
stewed seaweed and organic cactus juice.
Uh...
Here, can you hold this for me, please?
Whoa!
And now for the next game, the 10m tightrope challenge.
The Numtum who can go the furthest across the tightrope
will win a medal.
Our first competitor is Hobart.
I meant to do that!
And now, the crocodile wrestling champion of Gumnut Gorge,
it's Gladdy!
Oh, my!
Little Sandy, you're up next.
Hmm. Moderate easterly breeze, 10-15 knots.
He-he!
And finally, Humpty Do!
Humpty Do, where are you?
Nimbin, you won a medal. What's the secret? How can I walk the furthest?
It's easy, Humpty Do.
Close your eyes and listen to your heart.
- OK, got it. - Humpty Do?!
Close my eyes, listen to my heart.
Whoa!
Let's check the results.
Hobart walked far,
Gladdy walked farther,
and Little Sandy walked furthest!
- Little Sandy, you're our winner! - Yay! - Yay! - Yay!
Ye-hey!
Our next game is the hop, skip, roll, leap,
bounce and jump over the sleeping Flinders.
HE SNORES
The Numtum who can jump the highest over Flinders wins the medal.
Go, go, go!
That's not a spoon. This is a spoon!
Woo-hoo!
Waiter, there's a termite in my soup.
Yee-ha!
Oh, my turn next.
Little Sandy, you won a medal.
Can you give me any tips? How can I jump the highest?
Simple. To achieve maximum height...
Take 7, divide by 3, and multiply by the speed of light. Got it?
Uh...OK...
Take 7.... Divide by 8...
Oh! Ah!
Sorry!
Over to you for the score check, Mr Referee.
Bendy Go jumped high,
Dar Dar jumped higher
and Champer jumped highest!
Champer, you're the winner.
- Yay! - Yay! - Yay!
Hurrah!
Well, folks. There's only one race left - the rubber ducky rollathon!
Who can roll the fastest around an obstacle course
filled with rubber ducks? Take your positions.
Aw, the Games are almost over, and everyone's got a medal but me.
Even Flinders won a medal for loudest snoring.
HE SNORES
Champer, I really, really want to win a medal. What do I do?
Drink more water? Do some stretching? Work on my ears?
No, no, no, Humpty Do,
the secret is just to relax, have fun, and go for it.
That's it! Thanks, Champer. Brilliant advice.
Ready, steady, rock and roll!
The Numtums are up and racing.
Bendy Go is out in front, Dar Dar skips ahead, now Champer bounces
into first, but Hobart rolls up from behind, and, oh my stars!
Humpty Do takes the lead!
Ha-ha! This is a bunch of fun!
Wahey!
Huh, what?
Ha-ha-ha! Wee!
Ha-ha! Wow!
- Yay! - Yay! - Yay!
Congratulations, Humpty Do!
- You've won a medal. - I have? What for?
You rolled the fastest, lifted the heaviest,
went the furthest, jumped the highest...
And performed the funniest event at the Gumnut Games.
Woo-hoo!
Mmm.
Termite treat flavour. My favourite!
- Ha-ha-ha! - Woo! - Yay!
Yeah!
