| [[Sportacus]] is admiring the beautiful day and looking through his [[telescope]] when he is challenged by the [[airship]] computer (voiced by [[Brynhildur Guðmundsdóttir]]) to run over all five walls in the center of [[LazyTown]] within 15 seconds. He completes the challenge in a new record, 14 seconds while still adding a few other stunts (He throws his disc to cut an apple off the tree, and bats the apple over the walls, then chases and catches it). The record time registers on his wrist computer and then he says "[[SportsCandy]] works every time" before biting into his [[apple]]. | | [[Sportacus]] is working out on the airship, blindfolded. The [[airship]] computer (voiced by [[Brynhildur Guðmundsdóttir]]) lays down a challenge for him to lift a barbell made out of ten watermelons, which she calls a 'Sportscandy power lift'. Surprisingly, Sportacus can't lift it. [[Sportacus]] calls for a pear and a grape and maxes out his energy level readout on his arm, after which he manages to lift the barbell above his head. He then gives his signature phrase "With Sports Candy anything is possible!" |

| The kids are trying to clean up the play ground area because [[Stingy]] won't play there unless the Sports field is squeaky clean. [[Ziggy]] has been roped in to push [[Stingy]] up and down on the SeeSaw. [[Stephanie]] shows up and asks them why they are cleaning the sports field. [[Trixie]] answers that Stingy doesn't want to get his clothes dirty. [[Robbie]] down in his lair (eating an ice cream cone) overhears the kids talking and cleaning and then says "I'll give them something to clean." He fires his trash out of his [[cannon]] and up to the surface. | | The kids are putting gifts together for "Surprise Day." They are nearly done with Sportacus' gift, which is a hollowed out watermelon filled with other Sports Candy. |

| [[Sportacus]] has to save [[Ziggy]] from [[Robbie]]'s trash Can when it lands on the SeeSaw and flips [[Ziggy]] into the trash can causing him to roll through the town. [[Sportacus]] does this by shooting a cable out of his wrist band and pulling a ball to himself that he uses to line up the deck chair into the path of the trash can. He also drops the end of the deck chair using a racket and ball so that the trash can rolls up the tree and he can catch it with his hands. [[Robbie]] is very upset over this save. [[Pixel]] states that [[Sportacus]] is almost as fast and as strong as a robot.

On the third chance, Sportacus caught the last grape in his mouth. Then he is about to pilot the ship leaving Robbie hanging from it until he falls to Pixel's house. |

| When [[Robbie]] hears what Pixel says he comes up with the idea of using a Robot to defeat [[Sportacus]]. A robot would be stronger and faster than [[Sportacus]]. He looks in his telephone directory and finds a Robot Supply company. No sooner has he hung up the phone than the Robot arrives in a huge Cargo Case falling from the ceiling. It comes with a [[remote control]] (in another little box). [[Robbie]] tests the robot and it is clear that it is very strong and capable. [[Robbie]] thinks he can now get rid of [[Sportacus]] Forever.... (Echo). While [[Ziggy]] is rehearsing how [[Sportacus]] saved him, he falls into the trash can again. [[Robbie]] sends the robot after [[Ziggy]] to save him this time. [[Robbie]] arranges a few other mishaps and the robot saves a person every time. The kids are amazed at the robot. [[Robbie]] tries to get the mayor to banish [[Sportacus]] by quoting a rule that there can only be one [[Super Hero]] in [[LazyTown]] (I wonder why he didn't use that rule in [[Sportafake]]?). [[Sportacus]] voluntarily leaves to go and try to become faster and stronger. The children are very upset by this but the [[Mayor]] encourages them to play some games. [[Robbie]] uses the robot to destroy the children's equipment and prevent them from playing. [[Stephanie]] and the [[Mayor]] figure out that to get rid of the robot, they will have to challenge him to a race. They all begin working out and exercising to beat the robot. The song is "[[Never say Never]]." The race begins and Roboticus soons takes the lead, but [[Robbie]] uses him to set several traps on the way. The [[Mayor]] also figures out that [[Sportacus]] can compete in the race as he is just a normal LazyTowner now. [[Robbie]] says he will tell [[Sportacus]]. But instead he also sets a trap for [[Sportacus]]. [[Stephanie]] gives [[Ziggy]] some [[SportsCandy]] and this enables [[Ziggy]] to climb the large wall. [[Robbie]] tells [[Sportacus]] about the race and he runs off to join the team, but is caught in [[Robbie]]'s trap. [[Robbie]] parks his [[bulldozer]] on top of the hole where [[Sportacus]] is, but [[Sportacus]] is able to escape anyway. He takes the baton from [[Stephanie]] and races to the finish. On the way he frees the other trapped children. He makes it to the finish line ahead of Roboticus while Roboticus runs into a post and malfunctions. [[Robbie]] is exposed when he tries to get the robot working again. Roboticus chases after [[Robbie]] and [[Robbie]] runs away. [[Stephanie]] sings the [[Bing Bang Song]].

| * This is the start of the new Third Season of [[LazyTown]] after almost six years since [[LazyTown Extra]] aired.
| | * The event for this episode revolves around "Surprise Day", another of the special "Days" on the LazyTown Social Calendar. |
| * The role of [[Stephanie]] is now played by new comer, [[Chloe Lang]]. She was just 11 years old when starting filming. | | * Robbie's wolf costume returns in this episode. It was last worn by him in [[Once Upon a Time]], and later returns again in the episode [[The Lazy Cup]]. |
| * [[Magnús Scheving]], the actor who plays [[Sportacus]], was 49 years old when filming this season. This is his last season playing the character.
| | * This is one of the only episodes Robbie calls Stephanie by her real name. |
| * [[LazyTown Entertainment]] was acquired by [[Turner Broadcasting]] in 2011 and more money has been allocated to each episode.
| |
| * Once again, production quality has been increased. Props are larger and colours seem bolder and stronger. See also [[Colour Themes]].
| |
| * Each season will only feature 13 episodes.
| |
| * This season features a much more diminished [[opening credits]] sequence cut down from the original series but featuring shots of the new [[Stephanie]].
| |
| * The airship computer with the female voice (voiced by [[Brynhildur Guðmundsdóttir]]) plays a more expanded role in this season.
| |
| * [[Sportacus]]' outfit has been upgraded with several new features including his wrist computer and his foldaway backpack containing a new speedy hang glider vehicle (seen later in this episode). | |
| * The songs used in Season 3 now all feature a mid-song work-out and teaching session lead by [[Stephanie]], this was not a popular move and will apparently be dropped for Season Four.
| |
| * Robbie's names for [[Sportacus]]: "Sportaloon", "Sportaflop"
| |
| * Unused [[Disguise]]s: in the background of [[Robbie]]'s lair we see a clown suit, a purple shirted outfit (might be from [[Dancing Dreams]]), [[Miss Roberta]]'s outfit, and what could be the [[Scout Master]] outfit from the future episode [[Scavenger Hunt]] (unclear).
| |
| * When [[Robbie]] sees how strong the robot is he says it is "6000 times stronger" than Sportacus. The number 6000 is used repeatedly in the model numbers for many of the devices in the show. | |
| * The robot's outfit is clearly designed after [[Sportacus]] (even has a 10 on the emblem) but in the signature purple colour of [[Robbie]]'s outfit. His name is also patterned after "[[Robbie]]".
| |
| * The [[LazyTown]] [[rule book]] makes an appearance in this episode.
| |
| * A new dimension has also been added to the [[Stephanie]] character in this season. She can put on her [[Super Hero]] goggles and do some amazing stuff. This is probably an off shoot of the "[[New SuperHero]]" episode in Season One.
