4
5	!! Full recap
6
7	!! Tropes in this episode include:
8	* AchievementsInIgnorance: Popsicle Stick single-handedly pulled a boulder up the mountain, but she didn't realize that because she was more focused on Jelly's injury.
9	* AnotherDimension: The debut of the Doodleverse.
10	* CanisLatinicus: In one shot, Frisbee is labeled with the scientific name of "Javelinus Throwicus." [[JavelinThrower No points awarded for those guessing why this is so]].
11	* DiegeticSoundtrackUsage:
12	** When Pear is walking up the mountain just before Team 1 speeds past him, he is humming the Theme Tune.
13	** Right near the end of TheStinger, a slower version of the Theme Tune is played with a different instrument when Bone looks at a red, glowing entity from behind a bush.
14	* ExposedToTheElements: Oodle plays this trope straight for the most part. However, he was seen wearing winter gear for one scene.
15	* FailedASpotCheck: [[LampshadeHanging Lampshaded]] by Ketchup when he and Leek seem to not noticed the huge pile of boulders then the massive mountain offscreen until Oodle points it out.
16	* FoodAsBribe: Sock is bribed by Can with one of Yarn's lemon squares to kick Team 2's boulder up the mountain. Needless to say, it worked like a charm.
17	* IndyEscape: Chip Bag tries running away from Team 5's Boulder when Bouncy Ball hits it and causes it to roll down the mountain. This costed Chip Bag's life.
18	* PunBasedTitle: Played on the phrase "Smarter and Bolder"
19	* ReactionShot: During the cold open, when Safe loudly introduces herself, there is a shot of several of Team 2's members having their ears plugged after her introduction.
20	* SkywardScream: Pitchfork enacts one when Bouncy Ball accidentally knocks into Team 5's boulder and causes it to roll back down the mountain, losing all their progress.
21	* TemptingFate: When Pitchfork and Album were trying to push their teams into a sense of urgency during the challenge, Candle and Domino state it doesn't matter since Team 6 would probably lose again due to their in-fighting. Sometime later, Team 6 finished second, surprisingly, and the two teams in question, Team 1 and 5, were both in the bottom two.
