Popularity Conquest
When the trio heroes arrives in King Snugglemagne palace they tell King Snugglemagne about their victory, but the king states that there is something more important to talk about. He unveils a chart that shows the public's opinion of each of the heroes, with Mao Mao being so unpopular, they had to extend the chart with another poster. Mao Mao asks his friends to help him improve his ratings. Snugglemagne takes the heroes to his dressing room and offers his wardrobe to the cause and he with Badgerclops choose a new outfit for Mao Mao.

He's the Sheriff
The heroes find Snugglemagne sitting on their couch, dressed in a purple cowboy costume. Mao Mao questions the king, who explains that he is going to join the sheriffs before giving them an excessively forceful hug. Later sheriff calls his deputies together for a team planning hug, and declares that they have to get rid of the king. Adorabat says that they can't fire the lion since he's technically their boss. Badgerclops suggests to make the king's job worse so he simply quits instead Mao Mao likes this idea. Despite their best efforts, they fail to dissuade the king and Mao Mao finally loses his patience and yells at the king, calling him a spoiled brat for never doing anything by himself and firing the lion. King Snugglemagne breaks down into tears and runs away, leaving Mao Mao to wonder if he went too far. Then the sky pirates arrived, they trap the trio and the villains leave with the stolen Aero-cycle. Mao Mao and company manage to break free, but the black cat decides that the pirates have gotten too much of a head start to simply chase after them. Mao Mao seeks out the king, hoping to use his secret tunnels to catch up to the pirates, and finds the lion crying in some bushes. Convincing him to help, the group once again disappear into a trapdoor. Later King Snugglemagne challenges the pirates to a "manners duel". Boss Hosstrich accepts, and the two fight for the aero-cycle in an overly dramatic competition to see who can be more polite. Snugglemagne manages to win, and Boss Hosstrich hands over the bike. Snugglemagne and Mao Mao apologize to each other.
