Episode 25 Sweet Stuff and the Treasure Hunt Aired:
October 17, 1986
Sweet Stuff is rolling in the meadow flowers when the Bushwoolies arrive and suggest one of their games. When it doesn't go over well, Sweet Stuff shows them how to play tag. However, the mere mention of running away sends the Bushwoolies doing just that without having heard the rules. Worse still, an angry squirrel notes that her acorn is being stepped on and refuses help, let alone playing a game as she has better things to do. With that, the squirrel heads inside. Meanwhile, Fizzy is looking for something or someone in the tall grass when Sweet Stuff arrives and learns Fizzy is playing hide and seek.
Sweet Stuff wants to join and Fizzy calls everyone back, revealing that several were using magic to hide and says Sweet Stuff will play and be it. However, one of the ponies notes that Sweet Stuff never said she wanted to be it. Buttons agrees to be it and everyone disappears, though Sweet Stuff finds it much more difficult to hide, especially when the angry squirrel returns and gives her hiding spot away. Now it, Sweet Stuff finishes her count but is unable to catch anyone due to their magic. In spite of Buttons' suggestion of a new rule of no winking in or out, Sweet Stuff doesn't want to spoil their fun and walks away.
 Passing by some sea ponies, the sea ponies ask if she wants to play but when Sweet Stuff agrees, she gets hit with two croquet balls during the game and walks away. At Paradise Estate, Sweet Stuff tries joining in the treasure hunt but doesn't have any luck getting a partner or getting any of the items on the list as Whizzer has a bag full and says to hurry if she wants to get the seashell. However, by the time Sweet Stuff arrives, Whizzer has already found it and her speed is too much for Sweet Stuff to handle.
Realizing she may not be good at anything, she figures she should go home but the Bushwoolies need her help. She finds them hung up and they explain what happened. She finds a long branch and they use it to slide safely to the ground. Suddenly it hits her of the item on the list Wind Whistler found illogical. Bushwoolies are one and many. They can win the treasure hunt but they have to hurry as sunset is approaching. Meanwhile, Megan is tallying up the total number of items but Sweet Stuff hasn't yet arrived and Whizzer explains.
Sweet Stuff arrives and explains why the Bushwoolies are indeed part of the game. As a prize, they get ice cream but Bushwoolies don't know about eating it and instead end up bathing in it. Sweet Stuff uses a song to show that it's perfectly okay to do things differently with the others joining in bu the time the song is finished.
