6	The cartoon focused on Jingaroo, a lovable soccer-playing kangaroo who lived with his friends Sydney the frilled lizard, Victoria the emu, Jabiru the Tasmanian tiger, [[RhymeThemeNaming Toot and Snoot]] the marsupial moles, and Humpty Doo the koala in the Australian outback. Episodes generally focused on slice-of-life adventures, though the comics added a villain, Croco-Vile the crocodile, who had power over dreams and nightmares. 9 episodes in total were made.

9	!!This series contains examples of:
10	* AcidRefluxNightmare: In "Sleepwalking Sydney," too many swamp tamales give Sydney vivid dreams and nightmares to the point that he can't distinguish them from reality when he wakes up.
11	* AcquiredSituationalNarcissism: "The Fool Moon" has Victoria's game-winning goal go to her head, hold a victory celebration for herself, and make her ignore Jabiru passing the ball being what got her there to begin with.
12	* AllCGICartoon: The series is completely CGI, looking similar to the ''WesternAnimation/DonkeyKongCountry'' cartoon's art style.
13	* AllThatGlitters: After Sydney and Jabiru get buried in sand when trying to get the treasure, their friends help get them out and they realize friendship is much more valuable than material riches.
14	* AnimationBump: Scenes lit with a fire or set in dark areas tend to be better-animated than scenes in the day.
15	* BriarPatching: Jingaroo escapes Croco-Vile's nightmare by pretending he can't hear his loud roars, which makes him so angry he roars loudly enough to wake Jingaroo up.
16	* TheCynic: Jabiru is a skeptic by nature who sees the glass as half-empty, but the others appreciate him for who he is and he treasures his friends deep down.
17	* DreamWeaver: In the comics, Croco-Vile had power over dreams and nightmares and is known as the Nightmare King. He turns Jingaroo's legs into goo, then zaps away his friends when they try to help him.
18	* DullSurprise: Humpty Doo's singing and speaking voice is incredibly monotonous.
19	* TheFashionista: Victoria likes to focus on her appearance, and loves clothes and makeup.

21	* HeelFaceTurn: The Water Tree initially refuses to share his stored-up water, but regrets his stingy ways and saves the Outback from thirst.

23	* TheMusical: Every episode of the show has a song or two attached.

25	* ReptilesAreAbhorrent: Croco-Vile is a villainous crocodile. Averted with Sydney, who's a heroic frilled lizard.
26	* SecretAdmirer: Victoria writes a love note to Bicep Birdbrain, a muscular emu that she has a crush on.
27	* TheSmartGuy: Humpty Doo is the outback's resident genius, and usually has ideas on how to solve problems.
28	* TheSmurfettePrinciple: Victoria is the only girl in the main cast, though female marsupial moles are minor characters.
29	* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Jingaroo loves pancakes, and an entire episode, "Flapjack Attack," is dedicated to him making breakfast with the help of his friends.
30	* TreasureHuntEpisode: "Treasures Everywhere" is about the gang searching for treasure in a sunken ship that's been buried in sand.
