- Sunspot is practicing.
He needs to climb one more mountain to be in the Space Summit Society... [device chimes] And get a badge.
- What mountain does Sunspot have to hike up?
- [squeaks] - It's called Mt.
Sharp.
- Wait, Jet, Mt.
sharp is on Mars.
- It is indeed.
Sunspot has climbed many mountain peaks on many mountainous planets.
- Wow, that's just like the classic Commander Cressida comic volume 53, "Looking Sharp!"
- [squeaks] - He says his Mt.
Sharp climb is tomorrow.
Mom's gonna fly him up to Mars.
Anyone wanna go for a practice hike with him today?
- Sure!
- Yeah!
[robot whirring] - Hello.
Get down.
How?
[panting] - What's so hard about hiking?
You just walk uphill, then downhill.
- Well, for a longer hike, you need a plan and supplies.
Oh, and a map.
- I totally agree.
After any hike, I could sure use a nap.
- Map, Jet, map.
Look.
- You know what a map is, Jet.
it's a drawing of a place that shows you some of its features.
It can be a neighborhood, a mountain, or even a faraway planet.
- And for hiking, a map shows you things you'll see along the way: a tree, a rock, or pond, and where a trail goes, so you don't get lost.
- So, Sunspot, do you have a map of Mt.
Sharp?
- [squeaks] - Well, you better get one so you know where you're going.
- Don't worry, he can buy one at the Mt.
Sharp gift shop.
- Gift shops don't exist on Mars, Jet.
Plus, no Earthie has ever climbed Mt.
Sharp.
all: Oof!
- What a great idea, Sean!
You all could be the first Earthie kids to ever climb a Mars mountain.
And I could be the first Bortronian kid!
- Wait, I didn't-- - I love that idea!
both: Yeah, let's do it!

Sharp.
all: Whoo-hoo!
Sean!
♪ ♪ - Okay, official planning session for the First Earthie Kids to Climb a Mars Mountain Club!
- Yay!
- Let's review the checklist.
We'll need some supplies and a map.
Since no Earthie's ever climbed Mt.
Sharp, we need to make our own.
- And once we make our map, we'll need to plan a hiking route.
- Right!
We also need a team to hike with.
- [squeaking] - Oh, uh, Sunspot says he's always been a solo hiker.
He likes to hike alone, but he'll hike near us.
- What?
But, Sunspot, we're a team.
- [blows raspberry] - Okay, let's make that map.
- Guys, here's all we need to climb Mt.
Sharp.
[effort noises] Peasy-easy.
- [chuckles] Jet, that map is too simple.
Our Mt.
Sharp map has to show what things might be in our way.
- And what the ground is like we'll be hiking on.
It should also show us how steep the trail is.
I think we need... both: A topographical map!
- What on planet Earth is that?
- I'm glad you asked.
A topographical map shows you all kinds of things in nature in an area.
- It mainly shows how high things are, and how up and down the trails become--how steep.
- Hey, we're in luck!
Here's a topographical map of Mt.
Sharp.
- Wow!
That's so cool!
We'll be the first Earthie kids to climb a Mars mountain!
I'm so excited!
- Whoa, it says that it's more than 18,000 feet high.
That's really high.
- Sean, you're not getting cold hands about climbing Mt.
Sharp, are you?
- Cold feet, and yes, I am.
- But, Sean, climbing Mt.
Sharp has so many things you love.
Mars, hiking... - And maps!
- And popcorn!
- I do like all those things.
And going to space will help me in the future as I lead a team of astronauts to Mars.
[deep breath] Okay, I'm in.
- Great!
Okay.
Let's gather supplies.
- And start making our map.

Sharp's real name is Aeolis Mons?

Aeolis Mons kind of means windy mountain.
Huh, I don't remember it being windy on Mars.
[ship creaks] Ugh!

Big rock ahead!
Duck!
- A duck?
Where?
[laughs] [toy duck squeaking] Okay, map, show us what's next.
Whoa, is that gonna be a huge canyon we have to cross?
- Wait, look.
Canyons are usually really big, and this is just a small gap.
We can even step over it.
- Sure!
- Okay!
- Deep breath... [inhales] And jump!
[yelps] [sighs] - The map says this is kind of a sandy area.

Soft and kind of beach-y.

- Ahh!
Jet, what are you doing?
Don't sneak up on me like that.
- Need any help?
Sunspot and I were named the Bortron 7 Derring-Do Digging Duo 12 years running.
- [squeaks] - Uh, no help needed.
Also, that doesn't make any sense.
You're not even 12 yet, and I've never heard of a place called Bortron 7.
[dramatic music] - You've never heard of Bortron 7?
Uh--oh... [chuckles] Uh, me neither.
- Uh, excuse me, Sunspot?
Do you mind?
- [baaing] - If you must know, I'm hunting for buried treasure.
I'm reading all about it in this book, "Treasure Island."
- Wow.
What's buried treasure?
- Well, long ago, pirates would-- - What's a pirate?
- That's a pirate.
They were old timey sailors who had an eye patch, a peg leg, and a parrot, and sailed the seven seas.
- [laughs] He looks like a guy who knows how to have fun.
- [crows, chirps] - Uh, sure.
And buried treasure is an old chest full of gold coins, gemstones, and precious objects hidden by pirates until they could return to get it.
- Ooh, so how exactly does one find this buried treasure?
- You have to have a treasure map.
- Oh, I know what a map is.
It's a drawing of an area that shows you its features.
- Right, but a treasure map tells you how to find treasure.
That's why it's called a treasure map.
- Fascinating.
Go on.
- [squeaks] - Well, treasure maps are usually very old, have clues to help you find the treasure, and have a big red X to mark the spot where the treasure's buried.
- Oh!
So where can I get one of those?
- Well, they're quite rare, as you can imagine.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to get back to digging for treasure.
- Ooh, did you find the treasure map?
- No, I was just going to use the one in this book.
See, there are trees on the map, and there are trees that are kind like them in my yard.
I'm sure there's treasure buried here.
Right, Cody?
[dog whines] - Okay, well, good luck digging for treasure, Mitchell.
Yar!
- Yar, matey!
[grunting] ♪ ♪ - [gasps] Sunspot, are you thinking what I'm thinking?
- [excited squeaking] - [laughs] I was thinking about the time Dad got his head stuck in the saucer's vacuum panel and Mom had to smear hi s ears out with peanut butter to get him out.
[laughs] Good times.
But I was also thinking that we should surprise Mitchell and Cody with some buried treasure to find.
It could be our little surprise gift.
It'll really make their day!
- [excited squeaking] - [laughs] Right.
Sometimes it's nice to do something nice for somebody just because you know it'll make them happy, 'cause that's what Earthie friends do!
Ready to make a treasure chest, Sunspot?
- [squeaks] [arms whirring, tools clacking] - That looks about right, doesn't it?
- [squeaks] - Now to fill it with treasure.
- [squeaks] - Coins, gemstones, and precious objects.
Hmm--oh, I know.
I have some leftover chocolate coins from Halloween.
[coins clinking] Now for the gemstones.
I don't know what a gem is, but I do know what a stone is.
♪ ♪ [rattling] [rocks clattering] Huh, Mitchell also said it should have a precious object.
So what do we have that's really special?
- [squeaks] - [gasps] Sunspot, one of your baby teeth?
That is precious.
What a kind creature you are.
I was saving this tiny magnifying glass to look more closely at the ants in my ant farm, but it would be good for Mitchell's detective work.
- [squeaks] - And a dog treat for Cody.
[chuckles] Great idea, Sunspot.
Now for the map.
- [whirrs, squeaks] - Nice attention to detail, Sunspot.
Okay, now we just need to add our clues and a big, red X.
[arms whirring] Grab those coloring sticks.

♪ ♪ Gah--what do you think, Sunspot?
This looks like the perfect place to bury the treasure.

[energetic music] ♪ ♪ [grunts] - [squeaking] - Perfect!
X marks the spot.
Okay, now to draw the map.
Let's see--what kind of landmarks should we include?
- [squeaks] - Yup, a landmark should be something easy to recognize, so when we put it on the map, Mitchell will know what it is.
- [squeaks] - You're right.
Since we're next to the lake, we should make a blue shape on this side of the map for the water.
- [squeaking] [ringing] - That tree is definitely odd-looking.
Let's put it on the map.
Oh, and we can't forget, X marks the spot.
Excellent.
Okay, let's backtrack through the woods and look for more clues to put on our map.
♪ ♪ [squirrel chirps] Oh look, there's Floyd.
He'd make a great clue for the map.
♪ ♪ Whoops... [chuckles] Wait, Floyd, come back!
You're one of our clues, you have to stay in the tree.
[Sunspot squeaks] Huh, I guess you should only put landmarks on your map that don't move... [laughs] Good to know.
Oh, we should definitely put this area on our map.
- [squeaking] - Nice tree house, Sunspot.
[mellow music] This map looks great!
What do you think?
Are we done?
- [squeaks] - Excellent.
Now let's get this map into a bottle for Mitchell and Cody.

See, Cody?
That's the lake over there, and these green triangles are the trees, and this line here is the path.
[mellow music] This black circle must be the tire swing, so that means this is the tree house.
Wow, his tree house must be really, really old, Cody.
This grey blob must be that boulder over there.
Hmm, I wonder what this brown rectangle thing is supposed to be--whoa!
[dog barking] Ugh, it's a log.
- Our map is working, Sunspot.
Mitchell is able to follow all the clues we put in.
[giggling] Shh, shh, shh.

That's weird, why would pirates hide candy and a bunch of pebbles?
Is--is that a tooth in this box?
Huh, a tooth from a baby pirate?
Oh, look, a mini magnifying glass!
This is perfect for my detective agency.
And I have no idea what this is.
A dog treat, maybe?
Ew, Cody, that's probably like 100,000 years old.
This is the weirdest buried treasure ever.
It's amazing!
[upbeat music] [grating sound] Halt, who goes there?
- Yar!
Ahoy, Mitchell!
What ye got there?
- Jet, I found a treasure map.
Well, Cody and I did, and it led us here.
There's a big red X, and when we dug under it, we found this treasure chest.
Look.
- Ooh.
Wow, that's incredible, Mitchell.
Congratulations!
- [squeaks] - You were able to follow all the clues on the map to find the prize... [laughs] - Thanks, you guys.
Sorry you didn't find any treasure, Jet, but maybe one day you'll find a map too.
