Da Boom Crew? It's an early noughties cartoon about a group of kids that get trapped in a videogame and that had a very short run.

There was an animated TV series on one of the cartoon channels that we have at our house, and I can't remember the name. I know it involved a group of kids, I'm pretty sure they were orphans, who made their own vdeo game and then somehow got transoported into that game, and they had to collect gold computer disk things. There are 4 characters I remember. There was the leader of the group, and his little brother, both black, a white kid with blond hair who talked like a surfer, I think, and he often called people "brah". This makes me think it's from the late nineties to the early 00's, but I'm not sure. There was also a girl, the smart one of the group as they so often are. They all had their own special weapons; the girl had a staff, the leader had a sword, I think, and the surfer kid might have had a bow or laser gun.
I only remember seeing a relatively small number of episodes, maybe 10 at most, but I remember that one episode had the kids crash land on a junk planet due to needing s specific ship part, and the local inhabitant in charge of the junk wouldn't let the kids have the part they need unless they took care of a worm, or even wurm by the size of it, that was eating his junk. This local junk-fanatic also had a metal arm with a retractable grappling-hook-like hand.
That's the best I can do.
