* He might be an evil sorcerer that'll give Maleficent a run for her money, but Tzekel-Kan definitely deserves props for every second of his awesome magic. From something as meager as healing a cut on his hand to creeping out Tulio with [=apparitions/summoning=] of all sorts of creepy-crawlies to ''the jaguar'' that is about as close to a OneWingedAngel as he gets, he wears the Crown on his Moments of Awesome with pride.

* Miguel's slow-motion leap to unfurl the sail when the boat is about to get crushed by a pillar. For a second, you can almost believe that he is a god.

* Altivo gets quite a few awesome moments, reminding the audience that while he may be goofy and gluttonous at times, he's still a trained warhorse, and a SapientSteed to boot.
** When Miguel bribes Altivo with an apple to aid them in escaping the brig, he asks him to find a prybar. Instead, Altivo finds the keys to their cell.
** When his promised apple bounces around and falls overboard, he dives into the ocean after it without hesitating. True, it was a foolish decision, as he would have drowned without Miguel and Tulio's help, but his determination is admirable.
*** Amazingly, he actually did manage to get the apple, as he's seen spitting out the core once he's safely on the rowboat.
** At one point on their journey through the jungle, he crosses a small canyon by jumping across several standing poles with both men on his back.
** He aids Tulio and Miguel during the ball game, playing defense by knocking over the entire opposing team, jumping to give his teammates a boost to the hoop, and ultimately winning the game by kicking the stone wall while nobody's looking and vibrating the ball through.
** He's the first one to realize Cortes and his army are approaching, hearing them in the distance and warning his friends. He also aids Miguel in lowering the sail by jumping onto the boat to give him a boost.



** Altivo, inches from sliding whole into that stone mouth, flattens his ears ''and kicks the stone jaguar in the eye''.

** Altivo manages to carry Tulio, Miguel, and Chel on his back without trouble while being chased by the stone jaguar.

He later carries Chel to safety at Tulio's command.

* Miguel and Tulio conning Tzekel-Kan into letting his guard down by acting like they are fighting to the end of their friendship before ''simultaneously punching him in the face''.
** Considering the glare that Miguel gives Tulio while they're hanging from the vines, that probably wasn't an act. Doesn't change the two-fisted face hit, though.
** Tulio ''was'' putting on an act considering that while he was acting relatively hammy, Miguel seemed to be voicing his real opinions since his voice was more natural sounding and his actions were a lot more restrained. Very different considering that the first time we saw them pulling this kind of stunt Miguel was just as hammy as Tulio.

Slightly diminished by the glare fact that it ''wasn't'' an act on Miguel's part, and he was voicing his grievances to an oblivious Tulio, but the fact that Miguel gives was willing to put them aside momentarily to join Tulio while they're hanging from in delivering the vines, that probably wasn't an act. Doesn't change the two-fisted face hit, though.
