S3E03: Attack of the 50 Foot Mimi

## Summary

"Attack of the 50 Foot Mimi" (Japanese title: Mimi the Giant! Find the Shrinking Cure) is Season 3's third episode, and the twenty-third episode of the series "Teenage Mutant Ninja Mobians (1987)."

## Plot

The episode opens with the TMNM and their allies waking up the next day to find Charmy Bee, Cream the Rabbit, Cheese the Chao, Big the Cat, and Froggy decorating for a party of some kind. Charmy's group then revealed that it's for Mimi Tachikawa's birthday party because her birthday is today. After calling Elise Oriana III, Christopher Aonuma, and Tai Kamiya's groups, except Mimi, and Kara Wallaroo, and Roxanne Pear about Mimi's party which they're excited about. Afterwards, Elise's group and Kara have an interview with Professor Von Ziflin on the discovery of a half of a meteorite containing exaporon. Suddenly, Loki's group appears and, with their stinky gas spray distraction, steals the meteorite. At the Jotundrome, Loki's group learns that Uka-Uka's group is planning on using the meteorite's exaporon to make Loki's group giants. After testing it out on Vanitas and returning him to normal size, Loki's group is ordered to go to the surface so Uka-Uka's group can fire the exaporon at them. With Elise, Christopher, and Tai's groups, Kara, and Roxanne, they try to keep Mimi on her diet, but then decided to have some ice cream with her to make her happy on her birthday. Suddenly, Loki's group appears with the exaporon probe and prepares to have Uka-Uka's group prepare it when they they noticed that Trixie has unexpectedly intervened by being stuck on top of the probe. Then when our heroes arrive to the rescue, Mimi is accidentally blasted by the exaporon probe.

After Mimi is finished being shot, our heroes manage to rescue and free Trixie and attempt to stop Loki's group, but Loki's group escapes back to the Jotundrome. Back at the Channel Six building, Elise and Tai's groups leave Mimi alone to try and get some files regarding the meteorite with Seifer Almasy's help. But after Seifer leaves in a huff when Mimi accidentally almost hurts him due to her feet and hands growing big, Mimi becomes concerned to find herself becoming gigantic. In the sewer lair, our heroes learn of the exaporon crystals Miles "Tails" Prower found earlier while fighting Loki's group, and learn of Mimi about to become a giant. Then Elise and Tai's groups, having discovered Mimi now out on the streets as a giant, contacts our heroes about it and they agree to help Mimi. At the Jotundrome, Uka-Uka's group sends Loki's group and their henchmen, including the newly mutated Richard Rooter now called Rilla Roo, to find the other half of the meteorite containing the exaporon. With our heroes, they find Mimi, only for her to accidentally break some cable wires in front of them.

After having a close call and shutting down the wires, our heroes hide Mimi in an abandoned airport while they go to get the other meteorite from the planetarium. At the planetarium, our heroes convince Von Ziflin to give them the meteorite when Loki's group and their henchmen, having been told by Uka-Uka's group about our heroes' mission, attacks. Luckily, our heroes manage to subdue them. Suddenly after Loki's group and their henchmen get away, Elise and Tai's groups call our heroes to tell them that Mimi had again wandered off. After finding her, our heroes have already made the exaporon into a pill for Mimi to swallow, but the problem is that Mimi doesn't have something to drink it down. After learning from Mimi that when she was a little girl, her mother would give her some ice cream to take her medicine, our heroes mix some chocolate ice cream from a stand in an empty clean cement mixer with the pill. Then Mimi takes the pill with the ice cream and returns to normal size just before Seifer and the army arrive to capture her. Later, our heroes celebrate through Mimi's birthday party.
