## Official Description

*Four explorers on a Global adventure. Xuli, Kyan, Lars, Foz. They are the Go Jetters...!*

## Season Summary

Go Jetter cadets Xuli, Kyan, Lars and Foz are in their senior year at the Go Jet Academy, taking part in the final, and best part of their training: the around the world field trip! Joined by their mentor, Ubercorn, the Go Jetters travel the world in JetPad, learning as much as they can about the locations they visit.

But, not all is well, as Academy flunk-out Grandmaster Glitch also travels the world, creating mayhem and havoc in every place he ends up, whether he means to or not. Alongside his Grimbots, they travel the world in rustbucket Grim HQ.

When Glitch is up to no-good, it's up to the Go Jetters to save the day, using their geographical knowledge, and skills they've learned in training. When they need a bit of extra power to their punch, they summon in their Click-Ons to save the day!

Once the antics are over, the team pose together to take a souvenir selfie to celebrate the moment! Go Jetters, Go!

## Animation

Series 1 has animation done by two companies, Boulder Media and Giant Animation, and is the only season to have been worked on by either of these companies, which distinctly sets it apart from other seasons of the show.

Series 1 features designs which have arguably "less" detail, with the colours being more saturated, and the designs being more rounded, with little texture on things such as clothing, furniture, or surroundings. Things are curved and smooth, while staying truthful as possible to each real-world landmark featured.

The movement of Series 1's character models is more limited in comparison to later seasons, resulting in less dynamic camera angles or action scenes.

## Designs

The designs of the characters in the first series are based from, and upgraded versions of the characters from Titch Hikers, as well as their previous designs featured in the 2014 online game. For the first time, all human characters sport fingers, and have more movability in the arms and legs, notably having elbow and knee movement for the first time. All character designs feature black eyes, with a faint white shine present and three dimensional mouths.

Changes from the Titch Hikers and 2014 Game designs include:

* Ubercorn is bipedal for the first time, no longer walking on all fours.
* Grandmaster Glitch's moustache and eyebrows are now brown instead of black.
* Xuli's suit is purple instead of pink. Her bangs change style again, being neater than her test animation counterpart's.
* The stylized wings on Xuli's suit make their first appearance.
* The white line separating the blue and orange on Kyan's suit makes it's first appearance.
* Kyan's skin tone is changed.
* The red patch on Lars' hood is no longer present.
* The stylized cog on Lars' suit makes its first appearance
* Lars' suit is red and white, making the departure from Titch Hikers counterpart Lopez's colours.
* Foz's suit is blue and yellow, making the departure from Titch Hikers counterpart Didge's colours.
