  • Bait-and-Switch: At one point, the kids go the mini-library, and Zeke thinks that they're gonna read a bedtime story...but Leiko had actually planned a karaoke singalong inside the library.
  • "Getting Ready for Bed" Plot: Of a sort. Zeke goes to the sleepover wanting to do his bedtime routine, but finds out that the activities of the sleepover aren't like his routine at all.
  • Non-Nude Bathing: One of the activities at the sleepover is to blow bubbles, and Zeke jumps into the tub of bubbles, thinking it's a bath. Everyone else decides to join as well. All of them are still wearing their pajamas.

  • Big Red Button: Zeke finds a big red button in the secret tunnels, but Super tells him not to touch it, since it will melt everyone's ice cream.

  • Description Cut: The wombats need to retrieve the third Winnie the Wizard book before the crabs are finished reading the first two. Malik assures that they must be slow readers. Cut to the crabs immediately finishing the second book.
  • Garden-Hose Squirt Surprise: The second time the wombats go inside the tunnels, they find what appears to be a control room with lots of buttons. When they press one, it results in Mr. E's hose spraying water in his face.
  • I'm Okay!: Zeke says this after he trips.
