Roles in the series[]
The Rippin' Diggin' Machine first appeared in the episode "Save the Coral Cove!". Captain Hook threatens to dig up and destroy Coral Cove, the home of Sandy the Starfish and the other Never Sea creatures, with his treasure digging machine in search of the "Treasure With Eight Arms". With Marina leading the way, Jake and his crew witness Hook's handy work first hand. Jake pleads with Hook to give up his treasure hunt, but the greedy captain refuses. As the young pirates try to pass three mischievous dolphins, Hook's digging machine soon discovers something much to Hook's delight, but this is short lived as it was the Octopus who begins attacking Hook and Mr. Smee, sending the two fleeing until Jake and his friends intervene. Hook orders Smee to row back to the Jolly Roger, still shaken by the sight of the Octopus. Smee informs Hook they cannot row any faster with the digging machine slowing them down. Hook commands Smee to cut the Rippin' Diggin' Machine's control panel lose, leaving Jake and his crew to deal with Hook's treasure digging machine that is now out of control as it head towards Bucky, but Marina ties a cord attached to it onto a shipwreck, but it does not hold for long. Izzy comes to Bucky's rescue using her pixie dust on the machine, sending it soaring out of control until it crashes aboard the Jolly Roger and the cove is saved. The Rippin' Diggin' Machine is last seen at the end of the episode back aboard the Jolly Roger. Captain Hook fed up with the digging machine, but Mr. Smee assures his captain that the machine will never work again, taping it with a wrench and causing the treasure digging machine to spring back to life and chase the villainous duo across the deck of the ship.
