Cast

 * Young Cricket
 * Master Mantis

Summary
Based on the mini game of the same name on Game and Wario, Young Cricket and Master Mantis conduct a special type of training, which involves dumplings, jumping and original musical numbers inspired by Mandarin pop.

Plot
The episode begins with Cricket and Mantis doing their hand-to-hand fighting. Mantis then tells Cricket that he needs to work on his agility in order to get stronger in Kung Fu (Light on your feet). So strong in fact, that one day, he would be able to summon objects using his inner power. Mantis then demonstrates this by summoning a dumpling, which bewilders his apprentice. Cricket gets even more shocked when his master manages to hop from landing to landing without falling in the ocean below them.

The next thing Cricket knew, Mantis had somehow summoned multiple dumplings at once, creating an obstacle course for him to complete. Though he struggles at first, he makes up a dance and a song to follow his master's teachings (Do the Petal with me).

In the middle of the obstacle course, Young Cricket finds scrolls hidden in them. Master Mantis, being himself claims that each scroll has an important message, which Cricket should deliver to him as part of his task (Red, Blue, Green).

After finishing all of the obstacle courses, Master Mantis tells Cricket to open the scrolls, which are revealed to contain a recipe of red bean dumplings- the very same ones that Cricket has been eating to regain his energy during his training. Laying out the ingredients, the two of them sing a duet while making the dumplings (Sweet like me). The episode ends with them enjoying the dumplings as dessert.

Quotes
Sweet Like Me (sample)

Mantis: Sweet like me, make dumplings sweet like me. Boil the beans is the first step you see? Add sugar, smile with glee.

Cricket: (spoken) I'll be careful with the hot water, master!

Next thing you, check if they have cooked through Mash them into a paste, not like goo. It's smoothness we pursue

Trivia

 * The musical number "Sweet Like Me" is the only song that stays loyal to the theme of the song it is based on, which also talks about sweetness. However, it is used in a literal manner instead of a metaphorical manner.
