When the gumbles are attacked by one of Smiggles' dream creatures, Merri and Jolli wake Smiggles up, getting captured in the process, so Tink decides to impersonate a Smiggles dream creature in order to save his friends.

When Sammi Whammi Gumble returns from space, he tries to hide the fact that he is out of shape to try and impress the other gumbles, but when his charade gets Happi captured, he is forced to come clean to Tink in order to save him.

When Happi teaches Merri and Jolli the ancient art of gum fu, he fails to mention that it is useless when it comes to fighting actual snikes, and when the twins set off to Snike Hill to pick a fight, it is up to the other gumbles to save them.
