## Episode summary

The episode begins at Castle Leonardo, where King Leonardo and Tommy are riding the throne as it travels along its automated rail system and they are talking about greeting the sunrise on a new year. Once they reach a certain balcony, King Leonardo greets that sunrise, and then commences a celebration by having his Viruses fire the castle's cannons to wake everyone else up. From there, a new show broadcasts on Channel Lion Out Loud called "The Leeko Quiz Challenge", and invites five teams of contestants to win a grand prize. A special stage is set up which everyone in Puffy Town attends and Tommy announces the teams of contestants (details in section below) and finishes by introducing Gene as the host. Once everyone is set up in their podiums, the quiz begins.

As the quiz progresses, the Star Team - consisting of Milly and Leeko - gains a considerable lead over the other teams, with the Treasure Team (King Leonardo and Tommy) falling steadily behind and getting frustrated. In order to boost their chances, they distract Leeko with an apple around Question 10 to force the Star Team to be absent for a moment. As the final question comes up, Gene reveals the grand prize to be a free trip to the tropical planet "Alola Star". For the last question, all contestants guess the right answer, but have their answers sabotaged except King Leonardo and Tommy, allowing the Treasure Team to claim the special 100 point question and win the event. As soon as Leeko returns from his snack, however, he accidentally bumps into the Virus who had done the sabotaging, revealing the trick to the crowd. Seeing this, Gene ends up disqualifying the Treasure Team, allowing the Star Team to take the win instead. For their efforts, the Treasure Team is given a "consolation prize" of being launched from the fireworks cannons that commemorate the end of the event and to celebrate the new year. The episode ends as the other characters watch the fireworks.

### Leeko Quiz questions and correct answers

The following tracks each of the questions posed in the Leeko Quiz.

**Question 1:** "Into which of the following did Leeko first transform into: Ice, Stone, Fire, or Needle?"

* Correct answer: Fire

**Question 2:** "Which of these monsters was Leeko sticking it to when he first turned into Chef Leeko: Poppy Corn, Brickbuster, or Clubstor?"

* Correct answer: Poppy Corn

**Question 3:** "A while back, Usapia found itself buried under a blanket of snow. Can you name the freezing freak who transformed this scene into a frost-bitten winter wonderland: Clubstor, Aerialessa, or Snowzilla?"

* Correct answer: Snowzilla

**Bonus Question:** "Can you remember what Leeko transformed into to fight that sweet little Snowzilla?

* Correct answer: Ice Leeko

**Question 4:** "When Princess Ray took a tour of Usapia, Leeko defended her royal sweetness against which of these monsters: Snoozer, Crackle, Thunder King, or Salmonella?"

* Correct answer: Salmonella

**Question 5:** "When that hunk of burning fur Bewarewolf invaded the castle, who was he after?

* Correct answer: Moonlight Man

**Question 6:** "Remember when Chef Peppermint and Monsieur Spicey had a contest to see which chef could make the spicier food? Well, here's the question. Who showed up just in time to ruin dessert? Was it Fire Leeko, Ice Leeko, or Stone Leeko?"

* Correct answer: None of the above

This is the first question to present all incorrect answers. It can also be seen as a reference to how the effects of the Toxic Atomic Curry are initially confused for the Fire ability in the episode That’s Hot Stuff!.

**Question 7:** "King Leonardo once remade his castle into a fun-for-all-ages thrill-a-minute theme park! What unusual thing did Leeko do that day?"

* Correct answer: Singing

This question is retracted after the clip of MIke Leeko singing disturbs everyone in the room.

**Question 8:** "Who could forget the day a heart-stopping action-packed Grand Prix came to Puffy Town! Sure was exciting, wasn't it? Now, who won the trophy that day?"

* Correct answer: Mayor Bay Brittleton and Snowdrop

**Question 9:** "This tough cookie fought against Leeko only to become a great hero! What was his name?"

* Correct answer: Minesweeper

This is the only question that is not worth any points.

**Bonus Question 2:** "In this clip, what technique did Leeko and Minesweeper use to win the battle against Metal Masher?"

* Correct answer: Rising Break

Treasure Team lost 10 points for "not trying".

**Question 10:** "In the face of a certain disaster, King Leonardo acted with great bravery for the good of Usapia! Is this statement true, or false?"

* Correct answer: True; he built the playground he promised to the Puffies he would build, much to the joy of Leeko, thanks to Marvin's prediction.

**Bonus Question 3:** "Puffy Town was once taken over by some cuddlesome little creatures. Were they scarlet macaws, clownfish, monkeys, or sheep?"

* Correct answer: Sheep

Everybody guessed sheep, but all teams besides the Treasure Team had their answers sabotaged. Milly's answer being changed to clownfish is a reference to Sandy's crush on her.
