Original air date: 10/13/2003 (produced in 2002)
Dora and Boots are playing with Dora's binoculars when they hear three of their friends in trouble — Baby Jaguar is stuck in a tree, Isa is stuck in the big sand hole, and Benny's balloon is stuck on top of the Gooey Geyser! It's up to Dora and Boots to be as fast as they can — and learn to be calm — so they can race to everyone's rescue just in time!
Tropes:
- Continuity Nod: This isn't the first time Baby Jaguar had to be rescued.
- Damsel in Distress: Isa.
- Distressed Dude: Baby Jaguar and Benny.
- Don't Celebrate Just Yet: After saving Baby Jaguar, Dora and Boots are about to sing their "We Did It" song but get interrupted by Isa, still in the sand hole. This happens again after saving Isa, but Benny cuts in to remind them he's still on the Gooey Geyser and it could go kersploosh any minute.
- Help, I'm Stuck!: All three friends are stuck in a matter of ways; Baby Jaguar in a tree, Isa in the sand hole, and Benny on the Gooey Geyser.
- Musicalis Interruptus: The "We Did It" song plays early after saving Baby Jaguar and Isa, before getting interrupted by the next friend still in trouble. It finally plays in full after all three friends have been saved.
- Oddball in the Series: This is the second episode of Season 3 without star catching.
- Race Against the Clock: There's only a matter of time before Baby Jaguar falls into the prickers and thorns, Isa gets attacked by sand ants, and the Gooey Geyser goes kersploosh with Benny still on it.
