Chinese episode title: "奔跑吧超人兄弟" (Benpao Ba Chaoren Xiongdi)
English translation: "Run, Superman Brothers"
Original airdate: October 1st, 2016

The Supermen must find their way around when Big M. traps them in a video game.


"Run, Superman Brothers" contains the following tropes:

  • Balloon Belly: Around the beginning of the episode, Happy S. has an inflated stomach from eating so much.
  • Capture Balls: Parodied; Smart S. uses what is blatantly a Pokeball not to capture a monster in the first level of the game, but to feed it Sweet S.'s abysmal cooking.
  • Freeze Sneeze: The first thing Careless S. does when the Supermen enter the ice world is sneeze.
  • High-Pressure Emotion: After Smart S. defeats a monster using Sweet S.'s lunch, a not-very-amused Sweet S. has steam coming out of her head.
  • Lethal Lava Land: The final level of the game is filled with lots of lava and features a volcano monster for a boss.
  • Level Ate: The first level of the game is a world filled with big candy suckers and similar sweet treats.
  • Shout-Out:
    • The episode title is evoking 奔跑吧兄弟 (Hurry Up Brother), a Chinese variety show.
    • Smart S. feeds the monster in the first level Sweet S.'s food using a Pokeball from Pokemon, even saying "I choose you!" as he does so.
  • Slippy-Slidey Ice World: The second level of the game is a cold, icy world.
  • Trapped in TV Land: Big M. traps the Supermen in a video game.
  • Wheel o' Feet: When Sweet S. chases Smart S. over him having fed her food to a monster, both characters' legs are drawn as spinning swirling shapes.
  • Win to Exit: The Supermen have to win the game to escape it; otherwise, they'll be trapped forever.
  • Written Sound Effect: Smart S.'s laugh after he defeats one of the game's enemies is written in Chinese text above him.
