Errors

 * Although Skids was on top of the jalopy's engine, the closeup of the jalopy's radio announcing the missing blue kangaroo doesn't show him at all on the engine.
 * An over the top view at the Malt Shop shows the "Blue Kangaroo" mistakenly colored like a normal kangaroo.
 * The Blue Kangaroo was still shown to be wearing Zelda's outfit, even after Zelda was shown to be wearing her outfit again.
