"Ferb, I know what we're gonna do today! We're gonna use these goods and play a game of sports!" — Phineas-2[src] |
The Summer Sports are a series of sports hosted by Phineas-2 and Ferb-2 as a way of introducing summer fun to their friends.
History[]
In the 2nd Dimension, Phineas-2 and Ferb-2 are joined by Baljeet-2 and Buford-2, who are seeking methods of having fun, taking the advice of the Prime Dimension counterparts to heart. Luckily, Perry-2 has been aiding the boys in that regard thanks to his advanced cybernetic capabilities, which inherently enhance rounds of stick fetching. The kids, through the pet, discover an underground bunker by chance, housing an astounding quantity of sports equipment conceded by Lawrence-2 for leisure usage, to their euphoria.
Moving to the park, the quartet scatters the paraphernalia for their former Resistance allies to enjoy. A playtime session ensues, with the kids mixing items to create diverse combinations of physical activities, eventually shaping an athletic course. In the meantime, Isabella-2 convinces a serious Candace-2 to loosen up alongside her brothers. While playing, Perry-2 rushes to catch a ball, stumbling upon a horde of mechanical enemies, the presence thereof forces the gang to halt their rest ("Tales from the Resistance: Back to the 2nd Dimension").
Design[]
The Summer Sports are games blending aspects of various existing sports, such as different helmets, rackets, balls, and nets. Available implements cover hockey, soccer, tennis, golfing, skiing, croquet, criquet, canoeing, football, volleyball, scuba diving, biking, ballet, baseball, roller skating, billiards, lacrosse, karate, basketball, cheerleading, cycling, bowling, ice skating, boxing, and hooping kits.
Activities[]
For the Summer Sports craze, the kids dress themselves in a multitude of avant-garde sport amalgams, sticking to the overarching theme of a mix-and-match pastime. An unique game is formed amidst the innovative setup, consisting of the offensive players throwing a pom-pom towards the defending side of the field, who attempt to return the tuft into the scoring places, thereby gaining an opportunity to strike the jumbo ball, while the other team guides tennis balls using golf clubs.
Background Information[]
- When Baljeet-2 and Buford-2 come by, the latter informs the rest that he has stepped on a slug with one of his feet, and dropped a shoe from the other.
- According to Buford-2, the initial experiments conducted by him and Baljeet-2 relating to fun have been less productive than breaking rocks, in spite of his liking of thrashing.
- Instead of simply fetching a wooden twig, Phineas-2 and Ferb-2 have Perry-2 destroy the object for an aerial explosion.
- Perry-2 lands from the fetching test above the hatch door on the floor, causing the kids to notice it from the metal sound.
- Lawrence-2 explains to his sons that the sporting goods were regularly used before the dictatorship. Since the terrifying period is over, he lets them take the items for amusement, specifically employing the expression "have a ball".
- Besides the main gang, the Firestorm Girls and Irving-2 are shown enjoying themselves, with the latter being poken fun at due to his weird usage of canoe paddles.
- Miscellaneous elements of the principal course include its officiating by the hitting of a gong, the offensive striker using a cricket bat, the defenders riding bicycles, the scorer and regular players wielding tennis rackets, and Irving-2 serving as the midfield skiing overseer.
- Persuading Candace-2 to leave her duties, Isabella-2 suggests an ice cream treat for the former rebel, who mishears it as a yelling contest named "I scream". This is an allusion to the song "I Scream, You Scream, We All Scream for Ice Cream".
- Baljeet-2 proclaims that the score of his game against the boys is six kadooms to twelve rempars, after achieving a soccer ball throw into a bush, to which Phineas-2 responds with a reminder of a possible one-point deduction if Perry-2 can find the object.
- The fun is signaled as over when the rogue Pinky-2 appears, menacingly flattening the recently tossed ball.
