Secret Mission! (2020)

More Games![]

While preparing their vehicles for the Speedway Five-Billion, Scott informs the ninja that he's noticed their vehicles are all missing several crucial parts. Unfortunately, they could not acquire the parts through the skill tree, as that was for upgrading players, not vehicles, so they would have to enter some hidden minigames to acquire the parts, the first of which was Shuriball.

Entering the minigame, Jay explained that Shuriball was the first videogame ever made, and their objective was to move a katana shaped paddle to knock back a shuriken over and over until they scored a point. The others made a point to complain the game was long and boring. Eventually, Cole lost patience and summoned a massive hammer to knock back the shuriken with enough force that the Ninja immediately scored and won.

Their next minigame was Racer 5, where the Ninja were pitted on a racetrack against NPCs resembling some of their old foes! As they raced around the track, NPC Garmadon hurled a bundle of 'giant head dynamite' at the Ninja, inflating the size of Cole and Jay's heads and slowing their progress. Upon entering the next track however, the effects of the dynamite wore off and Jay guided his teammates into winning, revealing that only one of them had to score points while the others could focus on holding off their opponents.

Meanwhile, a Red Visor informed Unagami that certain supplies were disappearing into hidden levels, forcing the ruler of Prime Empire to order his goons to infiltrate these spots to deal with whoever was behind the supply disappearances.

Entering the third minigame, Brawl Stars Turbo, the Ninja were faced with a selection to choose an opponent and weapon. To Jay's surprise, most of the opponents appeared to be Red Visors, but he nevertheless figured they would be easy enough to defeat. As for his weapon, he selected 'random,' receiving a sticky hand. After defeating his opponent, Cole and Nya stepped up against another Red Visor and Min-Droid. While Nya challenged the Red Visor, Cole laughed and played around with the Min-Droid NPC, mocking it as being a 'weakling.' When Nya began struggling against her opponent, Cole ripped off Min-Droid's head and used its now exposed electrical cables to defeat the Red Visor. Upon their victory, the Ninja were awarded with the final part they needed for their vehicles and prepared themselves for the Speedway Five-Billion. Meanwhile, a furious Unagami ordered his forces to discover who was mucking around his domain.

Trivia[]

• The comic takes place during "Racer Seven" and shows what the ninja were doing when Lloyd was trying to recruit Racer Seven. However, Racer Seven's introduction differs from the actual episode. In the comic, Lloyd brings Racer Seven with him, while in the episode, she went to Scott's garage by herself.
  • It is also implied in the episode that the ninja spent all 24 hours before the Speedway Five-Billion repairing their vehicles, so it is unlikely that they had time for the activities shown in the comic.
• Shuriball's overall gameplay and design, alongside its status as the oldest video game in Ninjago, is a reference to Pong, which has similarly been hailed as the world's first video game.
• Racer 5 is of the "kart racing" genre.
• Shark Army member can be seen on a screen on the 9th page of the comic.
