Marsupilami - Season 3

Blu Print guarentees to his boss-lady that his automated factory draining every gum tree in Palombia will create 5000 truck-tires before her deadline that very evening. What he didn't count on was the Marsu Triplets getting a hold of one of the tires and getting bounced into the main mixer of the factory in the early afternoon, and if there's one thing dimwitted Ollie knows that is news to Blu Print, it's that it's a father's instincts to fight (and even destroy) anything that threatens the life of his children! Sure enough, Mars was already coming to the rescue, but by the time he gets there, security has been tightened, and the place has been Marsu-proofed, but just as it looks hopeless, Hector comes up with a plan to help Bibi, Bobo, and Bibu from the sticky situation.

A robot is created for Felicia's company to level out the Palombian Jungle, and Mars and Hector team up to reprogram "Doubah" to replant trees instead, but is Hector's genius really any match for that of Felicia and Blu Print?

Disturbing an ancient shrine to Marsupilquatl, Hector's mind is brought to a more primitive state and he believes he's a marsupilami just like his best friend. Along with being constantly protected by the real thing (and driving Mars' family crazy), Hector's marsu-like behavior could separate him from Aunt Diane, as an inspector is visiting to see if he can remain civil this far, and is suited to handle a year in the jungle!

Felicia's big city plans are threatened when she got notice from a soon-to-visit Aunchorman that people are looking for more "Environmentally Friendly" homes these days. Hiding the pipelines and other evidence that her HQ is fueled with toxic waste, her company unwittingly expose Mars to radioactive sludge while he's out getting food for his family, and comes back with his fur glowing in the dark and a scent that destroys several plants and animals in his path! Hector and Aunt Diane are at wits end, but manage to cure Mars and expose Felicia as the phony she is.

The Marsu Territory of the Palombian Jungle and all who live there are trapped in a giant glass dome. Without access to neccessities from the outside world, such as wind and riverflow, the sun's heat becomes unbearable, and food and water from the river is becoming dangerously low, while things aren't looking better outside the "Glass Cage", as without the Marsupilamis, the guardian of the jungle, Felicia and her henchmen are free to cut down trees to their evil hearts' content! Luckly, Aunt Diane found a natural key to open the cage: The Palombian River-Starfish, which eat solid debree and are tough enough to turn glass into sand... now to get them to remove the dome before every animal in it suffers a heatstroke!

Felicia's HQ is at the toxic waste ordeal again; this time they dump toxic waste and other poisonous barrels onto Mars and Hector's favorite fishing-spot just for the fun of it (that, and they figure the waterfall is a money-saving filter, thus having more wealth for products). While Mars can usually eat dozens of piranhas in one sitting no problem, no matter how much Hector lectures about the eco-system, all it takes is one poison-injected piranha for him to eat himself sick! Blu Print and Ollie Stroy try to take that to their advantage, as Hector guards the dying marsupilami as Aunt Diane makes an herbal remedy for the poison that barely makes it in time.

Hector's invention seems dangerous on a test flight, causing doubts on his own intellect, until, on the same day Aunt Diane finds flowers beyond jungle physics (as though a shopping mall literally grew out of nowhere), Mars noticed the piranhas didn't taste right and refused to eat them, while Hector notices the frogs, flies, and even a jaguar have been mutated! Coincidence? Hector doesn't think so, and it only takes seeing humming birds flying crooked after drinking the nectar of the weird plants that he figures out the mad science that's ruining the natural food chain: Felicia's discarding seeds of failed experiments as her scientists were threatened to make it so money literally grows on trees!

Mars and Hector befriend a native Palombian boy who's panicked that an ancient temple has been unearthed (and of course, their new friend warns the place is cursed and haunted). Naturally, Ollie was escorting Blu Print there to cure a wart-like scar on his nose, but since Blu Print is reluctant for fear of ghosts, Hector and Mars make a horrorfying prank to get the vandals out before they ruin anything... but is the temple haunted for real?

Fed up with being constantly bathed by their mother when they want to play, the Marsupilami Triplets decide to run away from home. Lead by the mischevious scammer, Bobo, they decide to go to the one place where their parents would be least likely to look for them: The Moon! As the Marsupilami Parents and Hector search the jungle for them, and quickly pick up on the trail, the triplets have several misadventures in one night trying to reach their high expectations. Hector turns his hot-air balloon into a model globe as part of a lunar simulation that might help the small marsus realize how important their home and family is.

A nature documentary filmographer who thinks he belongs in Hollywood visits the jungle and drives the Marsupilami's bananas with his expectations on how a documentary should be made. To get even, Hector steals the camera and does an embarrasing documentary on the rare "Filmographis Idioticous", but when the Marsupilami Triplets unwittingly sent themselves down river towards a waterfall in the guy's overfeatured trailer/tent, an unlikely alliance to save them is made.

Blu Print and Ollie Stroy have to keep an eye on Pam, Felicia's spunky niece who thinks she's tough enough to handle her aunt's marsupilami "problem" single handed, and wants to go on safari to prove it. Figuring it's not single-handed with two babysitters, Pam runs off, and after a night of worrying Blu and Ollie (and getting cocky after using her paddleball to ward of a jaguar), Pam learns to see the creature she intended to hunt down in a different way after Mars and Hector save her life from a carnivorous plant. Falling in love with Hector and seeing that the jungle is beautiful (not just a dangerous, uncivilized, in-the-way place her greedy aunt always describes it as), Pam has a change of heart and wants to help protect the rainforests of Palombia... though, as an heiress, she has to keep that side of herself a secret from her own family.

Once again, Pam sneaks away from her babysitters, Blu & Ollie, as her Aunt Felicia is away for the weekend on business. While the "grownups" think Pam and her obnoxious little brother, Julius, will be content and safe in the children's room (full of videogames and toys that play themselves), she and her tag-along sibling sneak into the jungle. Pam and Hector were practically dating... too bad the unexpected spoiled brat keeps making Mars and Hector look like fools!

Felicia sends her henchmen to prove the existance of an ancient Palombian myth about Verdecabra: a large green monster in the jungle that consumes everything in it's path once every 600 years! If they can prove the stories are true, the company would be one step closer to giving the world every reason to level out the jungle, but as it turns out, Verdecabra is a venus fly-trap with mobile roots, and it/he mistaken floratologist Aunt Diane for a female blossom for the markings on her umbrella, thus makes her able to tame the "green monster" before it returns to hibernation.

Ollie Stroy unearths a long forsaken mineshaft... and some long hibernating termites that haven't eaten since goodness-knows-when and are leveling out trees left and right, much to Felicia's pleasure! While Marsupilami likes to eat insects like termites, and the Native Palombians are burning fern leaves that termites find disgusting, what's protecting the treehouse that Hector and Aunt Diane live in? Turns out, while they enjoy eating the furniture, the termites hate to hurt the treehouse itself as it's covered with fast-growing vines. Also, they find marsu fur an improvement to the cold stone floor of the mineshafts, and Mars must offer a ride back there to the queen termite to end the plague before he gives himself and his family a stomach ache!

Since they have Marsupilami as a common enemy, Bring M. Backalive takes Blu Print and Ollie Stroy out on a safari to catch the creature.

Hector and Mars try to keep their usual enemies from using natural lava to blow up the whole jungle, while Aunt Diane pursues plants with movement... are both attempts nothing but a wild goose chase?!

The river is chemically frozen so those company-based crooks can open a winter-spots themepark, but with piranhas frozen solid, no marsupilami will let that stand, but attempts to get anti-freeze prove dangerous with the triplets out skating... and they're still learning to swim!

Mars and his wife, Mia, are out on their species version of a second honeymoon, and Hector has to keep an eye on the triplets while the parents are away, but Marsu-Sitting is a harder job then babysitting a human child for several reasons: one, the species have great appetites and high metabolism (they have to be feed 7 meals a day!), two, they have to be kept loved and amused (Bibu proved the hardest with this one, as he kept crying), three, the matter of cleanliness (the triplets hate bathtime and run off when they just need to have berry juice wiped from their faces), but the last, and most important rule the job requires, they have to be protected from dangers, like jaguars... or worse, Backalive! After this, Hector will need a vacation!

Felicia's on another business trip and has left Blu Print in charge in her absence... much to Ollie's regret. Meanwhile, the marsu triplets find a lost egg in the river, and Mia insists that she hatches it herself. Once the bird hatches, the Marsupilamis raise it as their own, which disturbs Aunt Diane, who believe development is a matter of nature and nurture, and strongly insists Hector and Mars at least try to teach the bird to fly so it can join its real parents. Seing their attempts, Blu Print figures the best chance to capture the Marsupilami once and for all is a matter of blackmailing... but both liturally and metaphorically, the feathers are bound to fly.

Love is in the air... in the form of pollen from a rare and enchanted plant! One every year in the Palombian Jungle's Mating Season, the mythical blossom known as the Blue Passion Flower blooms, and anyone who gets too close to it and smells the pollen instantly falls in love with the first creature they see (more offen than not, the pairings are male/female), regardless of the species, so snakes are paired with mice, dragonflies with frogs, monkeys with turtles, Blu Print with an anteater, and worst of all, Hector's eco-friendly Aunt Diane with millitary-crazed Ollie Stroy! Either Hector is too far away or too young, but whatever the case, the Blue Passion Flower didn't effect him, which is good because this was one of those situations in which love is truely blind! Even Mars and Mia, who got into a fight before-hand, fell under the flower's love-spell and, along with the fight, forgotten everything else but each other, thus didn't include their children in their games or hear Hector yell for help about Aunt Diane. One night, Hector notices the results of a splash onto the jaguar/mouse couple that shows that, unlike true love, the pollen's magic isn't waterproof, thus he frees his aunt (though Ollie is still smitten by her), and the rain of the rainforest took care of the rest. The Marsu parents include the triplets in a shadow-puppet game.

The Chief of the Native Palombia refuses to sell his land to Felicia's company, but claims he'd reconsider if they ask again later... as in 100 years from now! Unfortunately, the company's lead scientist, Maxwell, invented a serum called "Grotox", which causes any who drink it to age at an alarming rate! Blu Print and Ollie Stroy got away with slipping Grotox into the ceremony beverage the Chief used that night to initiate Hector and his Aunt Diane into the tribe... Hector didn't have to touch it, because he's still a child, but the next morning Aunt Diane was seen as an old woman, confused as to what's really going on. The Chief also aged, and Blu Print convinced the "old man" he's slept for 100 years, thus has to live up to the deal he'd sign away his land. As Hector tried to get a sample of the beverage to find a cure, Mars (being naive and drawn to the fruity aroma) drinks the potion before pursuing Blu Print and Ollie Stroy, and he overhears from the trees how they gloat their trickery, but as he swings in to stop them, the Grotox kicks in, and Mars begins to weaken with false aging (even his golden-yellow fur with blackspots lost its luster, as it turns silver with dark-gray spots) and became easy to catch, but still a threat when Maxwell discovers the effects of Grotox is temporary. It'll take the whole Marsupilami family to set things right!

The Marsupilami triplets steal Hector's glasses to play Blind-marsus-bluff, and Hector blindly (once again, literal and in metaphor) blames the father, who ends up lured in with a marsu-call blown by Backalive in a marsupilami suit, and uses a game of hopscotch to place a trap on the unexpecting Mars. Backalive only needed the father as a test subject (and to get him out of the way) as he uses a simular trap-design to smuggle the triplets. Since Mars can't be heard in the seemingly-escape-proof glass, Hector needs a real eye-opener to save his friends and turn the tables on Backalive.

While Hector was on a picnic with his Aunt Diane and the Palombian Chief, he hears Mars calling out and noticed he fell into a hole in a collapsing termite-mount/fireant-hill. The humans join Mars at the bottom, where a tunnel to the more barren parts of Palombia is revealed and, on the other side, they see Mars' discovery: fossils of his mammoth-like forefathers, which Diane appropriately titles Palombiasaurus Hoobah-Hectoris. Hector manages to find a way out of the valley to bring Mars' wife and children, whose playful nature helps him to snap out of it, and get his focus back on the present instead of the past so they can all get back home.

Hector is home alone (with insurance that the Marsupilami family will help him stay out of trouble) as Aunt Diane is spending the weekend in what seems to be an envionmentally-friendly, women-only retreat village in the jungle (it's really a trap Felicia thought up to steal Diane's secrets, thus redefying "Amazon"), but as Hector has it harder living by himself than he thought, and he notices the dead-give-away company symbol on Diane's ticket, it'll take something more eco-friendly (and less humiliating) than cross-dressing to get past the hallow-smiled security.

Its a race for the rare, as Diane and Felicia both come across a sweet-smelling berry blossom known as the Magnifico Cerebulus and while Diane wants to bask in the beautiful plant (which proves difficult, as Mars has an appitite for the fruit... he even wonders if it'll make piranhas taste better), Felicia wants it harvested to extinction for parfume and other highly-expensive cosmetics!

Blu Print and Ollie Stroy use bugspray to immune themselves before carrying out their boss-lady's latest scam: unleash imported mosquitoes that carry Sleeping Sickness onto the wildlife of Palombia, then cage the drowsy animals to be sold later as exotic pets (then, of course, destroy the rainforest once its truely empty). Lucky for the victims of this unnatural slumber, Hector and Mars came across a prospector in the mountain area of the jungle, and got covered with gold-dust that works as an immunity as well as an antidote (not like the bugspray on the badguys, which wears off as they see it as their chance to capture the marsupilami, believing he's too tired to fight back... then end up too tired to see how wrong they are). In order to cure the entire jungle, Hector offers his own ingenuity and Mars strength as a partnership to help the prospector hit the ancient, golden motherload!
