[instrumental music]

[male narrator] As an unknown craft nears the planet Earth

the Justice League satellite's early warning system...

[beeping]

...alerts the Super Friends.

Censors are picking up a UFO in Sector 07.

Robin and I have patrol shift, Superman. We'll take care of it.

[machine beeping]

Vroom

[male narrator] Moments later, as Batman and Robin

speed toward the mysterious intruder...

[beeping]

Censors show alien craft dead ahead, Batman.

Should be making visual contact any...

Great Gotham! I've never seen anything like it.

[alien 1] Look! A tiny spaceship.

- Should we zap it? - Yeah, let's zap 'em.

Nah, that's no fun. We did that with the last ships we saw.

I know. Let's go out and play with them.

I just hope whoever's in there is friendly.

Hailing frequency ready, Batman.

Wait. Someone's coming out.

Holy space juveniles! They're children!

[laughing]

Look! They're tiny.

I wonder where they come from.

Orlo, catch!

They must think we're some sort of play thing.

[chuckling] Got it.

[air hissing]

Air seals have ruptured, Batman!

We're losing pressure.

You broke it.

It's not my fault.

You threw it too hard.

Stop arguing, Zenny.

We don't need this stupid thing, anyway.

There are probably a lot more just like it

on that planet over there.

Whoosh

[devices beeping]

It's no good, Batman.

The fuel cells are dead

and the radio's burned out.

We're drifting back toward Earth's atmosphere.

We'll burn up like a meteor.

Great Scott! Batman and Robin are in trouble!

This is a job for Superman!

Vroom

[devices beeping]

[air hissing]

Only three seconds left before we break apart.

Swoosh

Another few seconds and you two would've looked

like a Fourth-of-July firework.

Thanks for the rescue, Superman.

But we've got another problem to handle.

Three problems is more like it.

[male narrator] Meanwhile, on the opposite end of Metropolis...

Hey! Slowpoke! Ain't you ever heard of a gas pedal?

[dramatic music]

Thud

[crowd screaming]

Space craters! What a place!

[Orlo] We could play here forever!

I never saw anything like this in the galactic toy store.

[people screaming]

Thud

Vroom, vroom, vroom!

My, what lovely dolls!

[people screaming]

Hello, you cute little creatures.

I have pets back home just your size.

Hey, Zenny, bet I can climb this building faster than you!

[music continues]

[screaming]

Hey, guys, look at me!

It looks like your alien space children have found Metropolis.

And they're treating it as if it were a playground.

We'd better get out of here before

it becomes a playground of doom.

Vroom! Beep-beep. Beep-beep.

[dramatic music]

[rattling]

Whirr

vroom

screech

Batman, there's one of them now.

Now to crash them.

Quick, Robin, fire the Bat-cables.

Click

Hey, what's goin' on?

It's you!

Yes, and I'm afraid we're going to have to

put an end to your little games.

[Zenny] Oh, no, you won't!

whistle

♪ First real space track in my hand ♪

♪ Grab another space track yes I can ♪♪

[male narrator] Meanwhile, a small plane approaches

unaware of the impending danger.

Down there's the baseball stadium

and there's the Hall of Justice.

Jeff, look!

[Jeff] I don't believe what I see!

Vroom

Zenny, look what I just caught.

I wonder if it stings.

I don't sting, but I've been known to at times.

I'll be back for you later.

Hey! Nobody takes my toys away!

Thanks, Superman.

Okay, little man.

Here comes the shooter.

You'll lose all your marbles if you play with me.

[pulsating]

Great Scott! It's a kryptonite marble.

Superman's in trouble.

We've got to find a way to stop these space children.

And I think I just figured out how to do it.

Follow me, Robin.

[marble pulsating]

[male narrator] With little time to spare, the Bat-rocket

streaks up into deep space on a mysterious mission...

...returning a short time later.

We'll give you just one more chance to clean up

the mess you've made and leave us in peace.

Ha! You'll give us the chance?

We'll give you a chance...

...to hide before we come and get you.

Don't say we didn't warn you.

Okay, they're all yours.

[beeping]

[zapping]

[all] Mother! Father!

Haven't I told you, you must never play

outside the galactic boundary?

Yes, but, uh...

Zenny, you're the oldest.

You should have known better.

[male 1] Now apologize to the Super Friends

and clean up this mess.

[all] We're sorry.

Try to forgive them, Super Friends.

I promise you, I will teach them greater responsibility.

I'll feel a lot better when those kids

have outgrown their toys.

I know what you mean, Superman.

But look at the bright side

at least they didn't leave muddy footprints

all over the city.

[theme music]

[male narrator] On their weekly journey through the solar system

the Wonder Twins are at the helm

of the Justice League patrol craft.

Jupiter sector all clear, Zan.

We'll be entering Saturn sector in a few seconds.

Weekend patrol duty isn't exactly

the most thrilling assignment in the universe.

Why couldn't we run into some space pirates

or maybe a lost planet or--

[babbling]

Forget it, Zan.

Trying to keep Gleek off the ceiling

is about as exciting as it's gonna get.

Vroom

boing boing boing

What on Exxor was that?

I don't know, looked like a comet.

Vroom

There it was again.

Whatever it is, I think it's after us.

It's our sworn duty to check it out.

Regardless of the danger.

Vroom vroom

[babbling]

On second thought, I think we ought to

high-tail it out of here.

We may not have time, Zan.

Look!

Vroom

[screaming]

[Gleek babbles]

Those weren't comets, they're spaceships.

Not quite, pointy ears. They're space rods.

And we're the Space Racers.

Fastest rocket jockeys this side of Pluto.

Yeah, we were light draggin'

when you slowpokes winded into our space.

Your space? This is a public sector.

Protected by the Justice League Inter-planetary Federation.

That's right, and we're the space patrol.

The speed limit's 55,000 miles per hour in this sector.

I'm afraid I'm gonna have to write you a ticket.

Oops! It must've ripped.

Come on, Wonder Brother, let's teach these

smart alecs to respect the law.

- Wonder Twin powers, activate! - Wonder Twin powers, activate!

Form of a giant squid.

Form of an ice anchor!

You're not so fast without your space rod, are you?

[grunts]

Lightning, let's beam out.

I'm with you, Fax.

You'll wish you signed that ticket

once we get you back to the Hall of Justice.

[pulsating]

Hey, you can't do that!

Zan, I'm dematerializing.

[both] Wonder Twin powers, deactivate!

Zap

Jayna? She's gone!

Come on, guys, let's burn some space.

You better give up before you get into anymore trouble.

It's too late now, sister.

We're goin' into light speed.

Vroom

Hang on, Gleek. We're goin' after 'em.

[babbles]

Vroom

[male narrator] Meanwhile, at the Hall of Justice...

The satellite scanners indicate three crafts

violating light speed in Saturn sector.

And one of them is the Wonder Twins' patrol ship.

We'd better check it out, Flash.

Right, I could use a little faster-than-light exercise.

[male narrator] As Flash and Wonder Woman steel off towards Saturn

Zan follows the Space Racers

towards the planet's giant rings.

Better slow down, Fax.

Relax, we're gonna lose that flake of a brother

of yours any second now.

Lightning, let's race that creep around the rings.

Right!

Boy! Five times the speed of light and climbing.

[babbles]

[vrooming]

We're through with this load of ore.

Let's get it back to the ship.

What in Jupiter is that!

I don't know, but they're comin' this way.

Oh, no, it's a mining ship.

If we hit it, we're finished.

Vroom

Oh, no!

Swoosh

[screaming] Help!

Those space miners are drifting towards

Saturn's deadly atmosphere.

If my timing is exact

I should be able to lasso them.

Welcome aboard, fellas.

Swoosh

Well, I may not drive a space truck

but I get here a heck of a lot faster than the Auto Club.

Now this is what I call surfing.

I can't control it and we're heading straight for Saturn.

This is a job for the Wonder Twins.

Zap

We've got to save Jayna, Gleek.

Zap

[babbles]

Oh! I guess we don't.

Come on, Wonder Brother, we've got work to do.

- Wonder Twin powers, activate! - Wonder Twin powers, activate!

Shape of an Exxorian space hawk.

Screech

Form of an ice hook.

[screeches]

[Zan] A little lower, Jayna.

[Jayna] Looks like we hooked ourselves a whopper, Zan!

[male narrator] Later, at the Hall of Justice...

We're sorry, Super Friends.

Next time we visit your solar system

we'll obey the laws.

I'm glad you see it our way now.

Even I run within the speed limit.

Instead of taking your rocket licenses away

we're going to give you four weekends of community service.

Picking up orbiting space junk.

And speaking of junk, we can start

by getting rid of this piece.

[babbling]

Swoosh

Now that's what I call a star-spangled Gleek.

[babbling]

[theme music]

[instrumental music]

[male narrator] At this very moment

in the depths of infinite space

a strange alien being searches the stars

for a most unusual prey.

[male 1] Holorus sector, nothing.

Draga sector, one skinny snick-map.

Markab sector, nothing.

Ah! This galaxy is infested by weaklings.

I need creatures that are strong, powerful, superior!

[male 2] We're strong.

[growling]

We'll fight you.

Shut up, you'll need every ounce of your energy

once we get back to the playing field.

All I need is two more recruits

and we'll be ready for the games.

[male narrator] Meanwhile, in a nearby sector of the galaxy...

[roaring]

[crunching]

[growling]

It's chewed through the bulkhead.

We've got to get the passengers to the life pods.

Swish swish swish

I've got to rescue that life pod

before that meddle-munching monster devours it.

[dramatic music]

If you don't like this hotel, you're gonna

have to deal with the complaint department...

...Superman!

Well, no cavities. I'll fix that.

Pow

swish swish swish

[alien 1] Spiraling galaxies!

Those two Earth beings are just what I've been looking for.

I must have them!

[male 3] You've saved the hotel, Super Friends.

What can we do to repay you?

Just have yourselves a nice holiday.

That's the best payment we could get.

Zap

Superman!

One down, one to go.

[rattling]

I'll give you ten seconds to release her

or they'll be picking up the pieces of this ship

in every corner of the galaxy.

This one's stronger than all the others combined.

[computer] Computer analysis indicate alien being from Planet Krypton.

Kryptonite stung ray will immobilize.

One kryptonite stung blast, coming up.

Zap

Great Scott! I can't move.

[dramatic music]

[male narrator] Later, as the strange spacecraft

heads for its unknown destination...

[growls]

Those two don't look very strong to me.

Where are we being taken?

To the stadium.

What stadium? For what purpose?

We've been recruited to play spaceball.

What on Earth is spaceball?

[laughs]

You'll find out.

[male narrator] Light years away, in a distant galaxy...

[pulsating]

You can't keep us penned up like this.

It's against inter-galactic law.

Pow

Shut up, alien, or I'll feed you another

blast of my kryptonite ray.

Excellent. Excellent.

These beings should do just fine.

They are strong, aren't they?

If I don't win the price money on this game, I'm ruined.

Don't worry, Jag, they're strong.

Maybe, but have you seen Grove's team?

[creatures growling]

[male announcer] Ladies and gentlemen, inter-galactic spaceball

is about to begin.

The Milkyway Monsters versus The Beta Destroyers.

The rules are simple, 13 points are scored

when a ball is taken into an opposing team's goal zone.

What about the other rules? Fouls? Penalties?

There are no other rules.

Anything is fair.

[laughs]

And play to win, the losing team

will be baked alive.

Um, make first play.

This game shouldn't be any problem.

There's no rule that says I can't fly.

Seventeen, hutt, hutt!

[growls]

See you in the end zone.

Hey! This creature is as strong as I am.

[laughing] Stronger!

[creatures cheering]

[male announcer] The Beta Destroyers have made their first score.

It's 13 to nothing.

I thought you said these aliens were tough.

[dramatic music]

Time for an interception.

[creature screeching]

Think I'll try the old super-blitz.

Now for a short punt.

[cheering]

Way to go, Monsters!

Listen you guys, the losing team gets wiped out, right?

But with a little team work, there's a way for us all to win.

- You game? - Maybe.

Here's the plan.

[male announcer] With only three seconds left in the game

the score is tied at 91 to 91 .

The spaceballs and the monsters one yard line.

Okay, you guys, it's time

for the Justice League roll-out play.

Ready, Superman!

The one from Krypton is leading a mutiny. Stop him!

Thwack

Security alert! All guards to the field!

[dramatic music]

No one will escape.

I'll vaporize them all before they get

another two feet.

Somebody ought to teach you some good sportsmanship.

Hurry! We've got to stop them.

Looks like it's time for a super-tackle.

Afraid the only games you'll be playing for a while

will be in the exercise yard at galactic prison.

Thank you for helping to free us, Super Friends.

And thank you, we couldn't have done it without your help.

With a little team work, even a game like spaceball

can be turned into a Superbowl!
