Plot

MiPP-E, Bob, and the pink MiP are in the Gaming Plaza. MiPP-E and the pink MiP introduce themselves, revealing that the pink MiP's name is Mary Irene Pinkerton. MiPP-E tries to come up with a lie to explain his tragic fall in "MiP Boards the Love Boat", but Mary sees right through him. Bob is now shown playing The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild on the Nintendo Switch. He becomes so mesmerized by the "Paragliding" feature, he turns off his power. When MiPP-E and Mary notice this, MiPP-E assumes that his batteries must have died. He leaves with Mary to go get some fresh ones. When they leave, Bob wakes up, mentioning Paragliding, then vanishes from the plaza.

He appears in a room that is completely dark except for a single spotlight. He is standing in the center of the room, surrounded by The Legend of Zelda amiibo and other The Legend of Zelda merchandise. He has a "conversation" with them, although he seems to be imagining their responses. He eventually decides to make his Paraglider out of construction paper and jump off a ramp to fly with it.

He sets up his stunt in the middle of Robot Park, and a huge crowd gathers. He announces that he's ready to start, then jumps off the ramp holding the Paraglider. He falls flat on his face. Getting back up, he is determined to Paraglide.

After 6 hours of jumping off the ramp, Bob is collapsed on the ground, exhausted. MiPP-E and Mary approach him, pointing out how foolish he was. When MiPP-E says "at least you didn't jump off the roof", Bob spontaneously regains his strength and leaves.

Now on the roof of the Robot Hotel, Bob prepares his another attempt to Paraglide. MiPP-E and Mary appear behind him on the roof. They try to convince Bob that he is going too far, but he doesn't listen. Bob jumps off the roof.

Trivia

• • MiPP-E’s line “It’s a pun! Like MiP and WALL-E? Get it?” is a callback to “MiP Plays Super Smash Bros!”.

  • Mary’s line “I have a bad feeling about this. But I’m just going to ignore it.” is a quote from the Cartoon Network show Clarence.

  • In the dark room scene, some of the other The Legend of Zelda merchandise besides the amiibo include a manga box set, a Wind Waker watch, a Link Link Between Worlds "Figma" figure, a Link "World of Nintendo" figure, two Master Sword models, a Hylian Shield model, and three plushies: Toon Link, Toon Zelda, and Tingle.

  • When Bob tells Toon Link that he is not going to use a leaf as a parachute, this is a reference to an item in The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker; Toon Link’s signature game.

  • Bob’s mentioning “Revali’s Gale” to Link (Archer) is a reference to a power in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild; the game Link (Archer) is from.

  • Bob mentioning Zelda getting the Triforce of wisdom, this is a reference to what actually happens in many The Legend of Zelda games.

  • Bob makes callbacks to “MiP Plays Pokémon Go!” by referencing Pokémon Go multiple times.

    • Bob also makes multiple puns based on the names of Pokémon, referencing principal Oak’s tendency to do the same thing as he does in the TV show Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon. The Pokémon he references include Seadra, Flygon, and Piloswine.

  • I-Sobot can be seen in the background of the Robot Park scene, still fallen over in the same spot from the events of “MiP’s Royal Treatment”.

  • MiPP-E’s lines “I shouldn’t have said that” and “I should NOT have said that” are quotes from Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone, spoken by Hagrid.

  • An episode title is mentioned for the first time in the series when Bob says “Sorry. I’m a MiP of the Wild”.
