## Summary

Super Spies Dora and Boots try to stop Swiper and the villains with his new swiping machine from swiping Tico's birthday presents.

## Plot

Swiper introduces himself to the viewer and shows him/her his new invention: a super fast swiping machine, something that can help him swipe fast. "Nothing can stop me from swiping!" he says followed by an evil laughter. Devil, Germ Guys, Princess Rotton, Mask, Disco Dog, UFO, Sergei, Accordion Guy, El Mago, Siren-Bot, Kent, Mean Mime, Worst Singer, Alien and Sand Ants were all ready to ruin something.

Soon after, Dora and Boots introduce themselves at the Super Spy Academy and walked over to Señor Tucán who has put new spy gadgets instead of using previous spy gadgets inside of Backpack. There are many spy gadgets, a spy ball that can be bounced to turn into either a boat or a bicycle; a door opener that can open doors quick; Super spy ID cards; a spy camera to take pictures; and a video screen to see all over the forest. Dora, Boots and Señor Tucán call to Spy Star to see what's the next mission, Tico is having a special birthday party at the Nutty Forest and they have a birthday present to give him

All of a sudden, the video screen beeps and they saw Swiper, Devil, Germ Guys, Sand Ants, UFO, Kent, Mean Mime, Sergei, Worst Singer, Accordion Guy, El Mago, Princess Rotton, Siren-Bot and Alien with his swiping machine and tells the viewer that he is going to Tico’s birthday party to swipe every single present from his party and ruin it. Super Spies Dora and Boots have to go to Nutty Forest try to stop him from swiping the presents in their secret mission.

They don’t know how to get to Tico's party, so they ask Map for assistance. Map says that they have to go down Underground River and through the Twisty Tunnel to get to Tico's party at the Nutty Forest. So they got going. As they arrive at the underground river, they have to find something to ride down the river, so they look in Backpack. They use the Spy ball to bounce it on the ground and it turned into a boat. They put on their lifejackets to avoid sinking in the river.

They tell the boat to go fast, and then Swiper and the villains made waves in the river so they had to go slow, after that, he gets way ahead of them. Dora and Boots tell the boat to go super duper fast and it did so as they finish going across the river, Swiper and the villains gets very dizzy that he fell onto a branch. Now they have to go through the Twisty Tunnel. As they got there, Diego comes along.

He tells them that to get through the tunnel, they have to follow the sound of the bat. There were two paths, the left path has the sound of a snake and the right path has the sound of the bat. The take the path on the right. Now there are three paths. The first one has the sound of crabs clicking, the second one has the sound of the bat and the third path has the sound of a coyote. They take the second path. In no time, they made it out of the tunnel.

Super Spies Dora and Boots are getting so close to Tico’s party. They just have to get to the Nutty Forest. Along the way, Swiper and the others is chasing Dora and Boots so they have to use the Spy ball from Backpack and turn it into a spy bike. After that, they have to pedal the bike up to 10 to go super fast. With that done, the bike zooms past the Villains and Swiper, who went "Oh man!".

Now Dora uses the door opener to open the door. However, the door is too small and Dora and Boots will bump their heads if they go through it. Luckily, Dora had a trick, she pull a lever and the bike got shorter. Soon, they arrived at Tico’s party. They warn Tico that Swiper (who he calls a "*zorro antipático*") is going to swipe all of his presents. They found him and Dora, Boots, Tico, and his family and friends trying to stopped him but they failed.

* This is one of the 1st episodes Swiper and the other Villains appears as the first character to start the episode for once instead of Dora and Boots, and it's also the first episode he introduces himself to the viewer as well, but he doesn't say "Hello" before that, he begins with putting on his mask, gloves, and the super fast swiping gear complete with machine at the back.
	+ This is the second the Swiper has is seen without his mask, the first being Dora's Got a Puppy.

* At the end Swiper and the Other Villains are on the good side in which they are sorry.
* Dora and Boots take their sunglasses off after the viewer tells them where to go first and next. They would put them back on to have the viewer check on Map to figure out where they have to go first and next.
* Dora and Boots wear sunglasses a few times this episode.
	+ Map was also seen wearing sunglasses, and Diego was seen wearing a spy mask.
* This is the 98th episode of the show.
* During "We Did It!", in production order.
	+ This is the first episode to feature new recordings for the instances of "We did it!", "Lo hicimos!", "We Did It! We Did It! Hooray! and "Yay! Whoo! Hooray! We did it! Whoo!" since Dora and Boots' voices evolved after Season 1.
	+ However, since Tico sang the "Yay" and "Lo hicimos!" with Dora, the new recordings can't clearly be heard. This is the first episode Dora and/or Boots don't appear as the first characters to begin the episode.
* Dora and Boots don't sing the original Travel Song in this episode, it's the second episode they sing the Super Spy Travel Song just like they did in the Season 2 episode Super Spies and they only sing it once instead of twice.
	+ In addition, when Dora and Boots are saying the places to go, they strike poses which allude to each respective location.
	+ Unlike the first Super Spies, Dora and Boots' utterances of "Where are we going?" have been rerecorded, and the clapping sound is different.
* Dora and Boots tried to stop Swiper and the Villains throughout the episode but they doesn't try to stop him but they failed during the episode until the end when they're at Tico's birthday party.
* Agent Map does not zoom wipe in this episode.
* Even though Dora and Boots got their chance trying to stopping Swiper from ruining Tico's birthday party and swiping all his presents, he still got his super swiping gear and technically had his chance try to stop him, they are too late anyway.

* This episode aired after the original cast's departure, but the cast still voiced them until Swiper the Explorer (in current airing order).
* In this episode, when Dora and Boots put their life jackets on, the life jackets open outward as they throw them up before they fasten around their bodies; in most episodes, Dora and Boots simply slip the life jackets over their heads without opening them.
* This is the final Season 4-produced episode where the Star Pocket was used.
* This is the second time Tico called Swiper a "*zorro antipático*", or "unfriendly fox" in Spanish, after "We're a Team!".

## Goofs/Errors

* Unlike other episodes, after Dora and Boots made it across the Underground River, the Fiesta Trio played their extended fanfare (which usually starts the We Did It! song at the end) instead of their original one.
* In the Twisty Tunnel and during the We Did It! song, Diego wears special sunglasses that are blue and have clear vision for the eyes. However, after going through the Twisty Tunnel, Diego puts on the same kind of sunglasses Dora and Boots wear.
* Glowy Star doesn't appear in this episode, she only appears in the end credits doing her mini game instead of Character Find. Because of this, Spy Star still doesn't have his mini game.
