This is Lava Ka Dhaava!
This episode's action takes place in a room that's out of this world,
the Planetarium!
It's the toughest room on Lava Ka Dhaava,
with countless ways to cross and just as many ways to fail.
Teams have fallen on the Apollo capsule…
Nick!
…crash-landed on the space rocks…
Harder…
And only one player has ever made it to the other side.
Yes!
Anything is possible!
But surprise, surprise!
Now we've made it even harder
by hiding a devastating booby trap
in the single most obvious place ever.
A big red button!
Will someone finally conquer the tippy telescope?
Or set foot on the triple rocket?
Can they do it in the Planetarium, Level 2?
Our first team met each other growing up in Boston.
Say hello to Anthony, Alex, and Chris,
The Bostonians.
Boston is Title Town.
We're going to take home the first Lava Ka Dhaava title for Boston.
Put the banners up because we'll be there.
-Let's go. -Let's go!
Remember that all Boston sports teams are better than Los Angeles sports teams?
-They're just better. -I was trying to put my finger on it.
-That's the tip, right? -We are the best!
-We will win. We're the best! -Of course!
We met each other in high school actually.
Funny story is, we were all in high school and then met each other.
That's it. I have a feeling that 99 percent of the US isn't rooting for us,
but they should because we're going to win.
-It's what we do. -Yes. Sorry.
At least we're good sports
in the sense that every time we win, we shake the other team's hand,
-and we'll give it to you. -Absolutely.
Okay.
Okay, where are all the rings on the planets?
Oh, that's right, Tom Brady's fingers.
Amazing! The Bostonians were able to last
almost five seconds before mentioning Tom Brady.
Is that a button? Does that work?
Every movie I've seen says don't push the red button.
Each player that makes it to the exit door is worth one point.
The team with the most points wins.
Move quickly because, from the moment you start,
the stairs at the exit door will slowly sink into the lava.
Most importantly, don't fall in, because the floor is…
-…lava! -…lava!
Let's go.
Anthony heading to the wall of constellations.
He'll have to be careful.
-Those handholds are only two inches wide. -Easy, man.
You got this.
You got this, Anthony.
Alex and Chris providing moral support.
-Here we go. -Nice.
Anthony is flying through space,
-having no trouble with the wall. -You're almost there.
Alex and Chris having no trouble standing in the doorway.
Attaboy!
Anthony's over.
Attaboy, Anthony.
We got this.
Alex following in Anthony's footsteps.
Watch your grip.
Watch your feet. Watch your grip.
-Don't be afraid to rest. -Yo!
Did you hit that red thing?
I haven't hit it yet.
In past episodes, that red button released the first rocket.
But modifications have been made to the course.
Now, the first rocket is already up
and no one knows what the red button is meant to do.
-I'm on it. -Watch it, right here.
-Oh, this is shaky, right? -Hey!
Yes.
-I want to see what it does. -If it does anything.
It certainly is a tempting button.
-Is it this thing? -Isn't it?
Do we think it's something?
Oh, no! Anthony was right!
They shouldn't have pushed that button.
Oh, that sucks!
-This whole rocket is now wet. -Oh, great!
-You happy now? -Yes.
"Oh, push the button."
-Oh, that sucks. -Oh, my god.
It's like a combination of gross and disgusting.
Be very careful.
Chris entering the course,
something most players would have done by now.
It's a five-foot jump between the planets.
Short for interplanetary travel, long for humans.
Be careful, Chris.
I wonder what he will do next.
-Chris, I mean. -Be careful, man.
There goes all the heroics.
Down the lava.
Be careful.
Oh, my!
-And down goes Chris. -Chris!
Oh, no! Chris!
That jump was like the Boston Tea Party,
only Chris was the tea,
and Boston harbor was filled with lava.
-Oh, man! -But in the end, Chris has departed.
Now, with Chris gone,
the Bostonians' dream of a perfect score has melted away.
But if they get two across,
that would still put them in a very good position.
Alex stretching across the three-foot gap to the rocket.
You got it?
-Barely but yes. -All right.
Be mindful of this.
-Lava geyser, or whatever… -Yes, I know.
It's going to come up.
-Very conveniently, I'm sure. -Don't lose your head.
Alex is drenched,
like someone poured a cup of chowder on him.
All right, buddy, nice and easy.
-If you're going to do it, commit to it. -All right.
Alex looking to make the four-foot jump from the rocket to the moon rock.
And he's got it. What a leap!
All right. You might have to land on your hands and knees.
Yes. How slippery is it?
Oh, not very.
How slippery is it now?
Oh, it's pretty slippery. Be careful.
-Like everything we've touched so far. -Okay.
For Boston.
You got this. I believe in you.
Wow!
That was wicked awesome!
And wicked painful.
He landed right on the old Boston baked beans. Yikes.
This is the weirdest thing I've ever done.
-I'm going for this. -Okay.
-So you have this to yourself. -Okay.
Alex getting ready for the jump
to the Apollo capsule.
Hopefully, he checks to see whether it moves.
He doesn't. No, that's not on his agenda.
Big hug.
Here we go, baby. Fly like Larry Bird.
Oh, no! Alex forgot that Larry Bird was a terrible jumper.
A great basketball player, yes.
And then, there was one.
That capsule is angled at a steep 60 degrees
and if that's not hard enough, it can swing almost vertically.
Like Good Will Hunting,
Alex learned math the hard way.
How about them apples?
Here we go.
Facing a tricky four-foot jump
from a wobbly rocket to a space rock.
Anthony has bossed on.
-He's done it. -Okay.
Now I'm slimy, I got lava,
and this course is a worthy adversary as well.
-There's no denying it. -And you are a worthy competitor.
Respect all around.
That's a really big jump.
Can we go flat earth?
Anthony sizing up the three-foot jump to the very slippery flat earth.
And…
And he's on.
But it's a hard landing.
What would you do?
His teammates gone, loneliness taking its toll on Anthony,
asking inanimate objects for help.
You're no help. All right.
Why is he seeking his advice?
If I fall in, you know what, that sucks, but I gave it my all.
And you, you be quiet. All right. Here we go.
Here we go, ready?
He's made it! Wait.
Oh, no!
Down goes Anthony into the lava,
which is still better than trying to swim in the Charles.
I thought we were all going to make it.
I don't think Tom Brady would ask for an apology.
I think Tom would say,
"Study and do better next time," and that's it.
You guys want to take this to Dunkin' Donuts?
-Dunkin' Donuts. Come on. -Yeah, we'll go to Dunks. Come on.
-Yes, sounds good. -And with that, the boys from Boston
will almost certainly head back to Title Town without a title.
Our second team is making this a family affair.
David, Stacy, and Mike,
The Siblings.
I'm the oldest, Mike's the youngest, and Stacy's in the middle.
-Somewhere in the middle. -We have 30 grandkids in our family.
Six of them are my children.
Six of them are mine.
And none of them are mine.
Dave's the resident athlete in our family.
He was an all-American in college.
David is the strongest physically, there's no doubt about that.
-As far as the weakest link… -This guy, right here.
We get together once a month as a family,
so with 30 little kids running around,
-it is pure, complete chaos. -Chaos!
So, jumping from thing to thing, we've got a lot of experience with that.
So, are you guys ready?
-Guys, do you want me to get started? -Yes, you go.
-I feel better about that. -You got this, David.
David taking the same route as the Bostonians,
hopefully with better results.
-Come on, Dave, you got this. -You go, Dave.
Nice.
There you go.
He looks like he's doing pretty well.
I already feel good about that.
David's stretching out.
Remember, he was an all-American first baseman,
but that was long ago, the '80s.
Okay, this is a solid path here, guys.
And he's safe.
I don't know if I want to. I'll just go for it.
Oh, flopping hard onto Neptune.
-What now? -I'm going to jump onto that.
Be careful. It looks slick.
It's no conspiracy theory. It is slick.
As we've seen in other episodes,
this jump to the flat earth is no joke.
Although it can be funny.
Oh, my.
-Stacy, is this really your plan? -Da-na-da! I feel better about this.
Why don't you jump over here instead?
-I feel like I can do it. -All right.
We love you.
I love you too.
Like a boss!
-Now, it's your turn, Mike! -Be careful.
Where are you going?
Should I go now?
-All right, is that still your plan? -Or that one?
No.
Mike following in his sister's bellyflop steps.
-Okay, I'm going. -Okay, go.
And she's across.
The middle child now ahead of her siblings.
-Are we ready for the button? -Do it.
Oh, no. David looking very tempted by that big red button
which he absolutely should not push.
Oh, no!
They made the same mistake as the Bostonians.
Lava is everywhere.
So, that was wrong.
That's a moot point.
All-American athlete David is going to try to make things right
by reaching that rocket.
Come on, David, you got this.
Not many have made it this far. Let's see what this man does.
Would you look at this guy!
Look at that. That's the first baseman doing the splits.
First baseman? More like, first spaceman.
Now, can you traverse?
Probably.
-Do you want to try to… -What's next?
-I don't know. -Wait, one at a time.
Let's get David over here with me.
Okay.
Four feet of lava between David and Stacy. He's on! And what great teamwork!
Okay, if I die… I love you.
No, I'll support you.
You got this, Mike. You can do it.
Mike's on, using his brother's hand as a backstop.
Teamwork making the dream work.
Do you want to go for that?
And David will support you.
-Should I just reach for it or jump? -Just step your foot out there.
-See if you can reach it. -I'll spot you.
-Hang on. -Okay, pull me back.
David!
Can I choose a different route?
David's hand, the family tie that stopped her from kissing lava,
so close to disaster.
Should I try and steady it?
-All right, do it, Mike. -Hey, here we go.
The moon may have lighter gravity, but that was a very heavy landing.
Okay, Mike, you get to that big rock.
That's a big jump.
It is a big jump.
The average German Shepherd is three feet long.
This is a six-foot jump.
That's like jumping over two German Shepherds!
-Okay, here we go. -You got this.
Okay.
What an outstanding effort.
The little brother doing a very big jump. Good boy!
You got it, Dave. Just do it.
There you go, Dave.
David using the patented family flop to get across.
They've all done it.
Oh, dear!
They've discovered the key to the course.
Sacrificing your stomach.
But you know who didn't figure it out?
The Bostonians.
You got it, Dave. Let's go.
Jump and put your force down.
Little brother Mike giving his big brother some advice.
And David's across!
We only need one on this. Everyone else goes there.
Mike's at the exact center of the course,
where there is yet another very tempting button.
-Come on! Press it! -Try to press that red button.
-Okay. -There you go.
All right, do it.
Mike hit the button, and it turns out this was a good big red button.
With the rocket up, they've got exit options.
The siblings could go toward the tippy telescope
and then onto the rocket,
but that requires balance.
Or they may seek the more direct route over the rocks,
but that calls for some tricky leaps.
Hey! You good?
-Okay. -I'm good. You go that way, Dave.
There you go.
Dave carefully spinning around to get his foot onto the telescope.
The bottom step is almost completely submerged.
You've got to hurry.
The stairs are drowning; hurry up.
We're running out of time, guys.
-Yes, let's go. -You good?
All right, bear hug it. Stacey, come over here by me.
FYI, that telescope is known as the tippy telescope.
Of course, David doesn't know that yet.
Now he does.
David riding that telescope like a rodeo champion.
But judging by that happy face, it won't be his last.
Will that move towards you?
David's stepping out onto the rocket,
and once again, he's doing a great job
of somehow avoiding jumps.
Those long legs are just stretching across.
Nice. That's where that height comes into play.
-Okay, Stace. I'm going on this now. -Okay, got it. I'm ready.
Mike making his way off the capsule, and look how much it swings.
Stacy is now a Cling-on.
Those steps are leaving. We've got to hurry.
Oh, the bottom step is completely gone and the top step is on its way down!
There's not much left!
I'll take one step and then jump off it.
Mike contemplating a tricky combo jump
from the rock to the rocket, and then to the exit.
I don't know about this.
The top step is still barely up. If Mike can get there, he'll be safe.
Do it.
A very impressive jump but there's something even more impressive.
Look at Stacy's celebrations.
Oh, that is one very happy sister.
I want to go to the rock first.
You can make the jump.
There you go.
-Good one! -All right!
And Dave's over. Now only Stacy is left in the room.
Can The Siblings make a perfect score of three across?
Oh, no, Stace! No!
Stacy had a nice lift off, but without Mike as a counterbalance,
the capsule jettisoned her and she could not get across.
It's the ultimate in middle child syndrome
as she literally melds into the background.
-No! -It's okay. We have two other sisters.
That's all right. We've got two other sisters.
Well, that's the advantage of a big family.
It's sibling revelry as they move into first place with two points
and officially eliminate the Bostonians.
But there's still one team left to go.
Our third team is the Tri Force Heroes.
Tiera, Kaba, and Diamond.
-Wisdom! -Courage!
Power!
We're the Tri Force Heroes because we're gamers who obviously love Zelda.
We love playing video games so much.
-It's in our blood. Yes. -Video games are our lives.
We play all the time. We just love it.
-It's our jam. -Games are our life.
This will give us an advantage because we play games with lava all the time.
Mario. Lava.
Saving princesses. Lava.
That's what we do, so this is going to be a breeze for us.
We got this.
-Lava Ka Dhaava. -Lava Ka Dhaava.
We join the Tri Force Heroes
with their run already in progress.
So far, Tiera has managed to push the button
that coats the course in lava.
Diamond has made it to Uranus, so congratulations are in order there.
And Kaba just made it to Neptune.
You're coming back? Won't you stay there?
I don't know what to do.
If they can get all three players across, they'll win outright
but they'll have to channel their inner link to do it.
-We have to do something. -It looks really slippery.
Okay, I'm coming back.
It's okay, you got this. You did it once. You can do it again.
Not with slippery hands, I didn't.
Wipe them off on your pants.
Okay.
-I can try for this one next. -Okay.
Diamond's got a five-foot jump to Jupiter.
But it looks so slippery.
-Heck no. Okay. -Be careful.
My hands are slippery.
-To that rock. -Oh, you got this. Yes!
-You got it. -Oh, my god.
No! Game over for Diamond.
I mean Diamond is gone!
A valiant attempt to hold on, but Jupiter is an unforgiving planet.
If only Diamond could have hit up, up, down, down, left, right,
left, right, B, A, and start before attempting this.
But down she goes. And there's no respawning in this game.
No!
Diamond may be out,
but the Tri Force Heroes still have two lives left.
They can still win if both Kaba and Tiera get across faster than The Siblings did.
Kaba! What are we going to do?
I'll try to do this.
But Kaba is facing a boss-level jump.
So far, only The Siblings have even attempted it.
Stacy made it, but only barely.
And Michael needed a hand.
Courage.
Okay, ready?
Yes.
-Count me down. -Okay.
Kaba's made it,
only to be rewarded by a face full of lava.
Jeez!
Okay, I've finally made it.
Tiera's back to the exact same place she started.
They're definitely running behind The Siblings' time now.
-They have to hurry. -Be careful. It's slippery.
Or hot.
T, you got it. Pull up.
Okay, can you get over there?
-That looks hard. -It is hard.
We're talking Dark Souls hard.
Don't think about it too much.
Just don't over jump though. Just take your time.
One leg. Yes. Woo!
If this were a video game, she would've leveled up.
Kaba, wait. How did you… What did you do?
I just jumped with my feet.
-You were standing up? -I stood up and jumped down.
-With my feet. -Little known fact.
Jumping with feet is the best.
I'm waiting for you to get there. You want me to count you down?
Tiera facing the trip to the flat earth.
OMG!
Bend a little. Maybe that'll help. And then just try to, like, you know…
No!
Oh, no!
And with that fall,
the Tri Force Heroes' chances of victory slip away into the lava.
No!
Which means The Siblings have no rival, and with two points, are our winners.
Ten thousand dollars and a triumphant Volcano of Victory
await the fearless family.
Ten thousand dollars! Congratulations!
Fabulous.
-That's not all. -Oh, yay!
The Lava Ka Dhaava trophy is all yours,
which I know you three will fight over.
Thanks for coming.
Unbelievable, right?
Another winning team 10,000 dollars richer, and guess what?
More teams are arriving right now.
We've got new teams, new rooms, but something didn't change…
Lava Ka Dhaava.
