List of vehicles

The List of Vehicles page describes each and every vehicle featured over the course of the Total Drama series, in addition to the three main vehicles of the series: the Boat of Losers, the Lame-o-sine, and the Total Drama Jumbo Jet. Some appear in multiple episodes and even in multiple seasons. Some may appear only once, but serve significant roles in the episodes they appear in, while others do not. Most of them are driven/piloted by either Chris McLean or Chef Hatchet. As a running joke in the series, most of the vehicles are often low-budget, poorly-built, breaking down, and not well-maintained.

The Yellow Bus
The yellow bus, which bears a resemblance to a regular school bus, appeared in Beach Blanket Bogus when it was used to take the cast from the Abandoned Film Lot back to Camp Wawanakwa for the second and third parts of the challenge. A fairly significant character development scene in the episode centered around the bus, in which Gwen and Duncan sneak off to disable the bus so that they will have to stay at Camp Wawanakwa for the night, since they both apparently missed the cabins. They exchange some playful banter as Duncan works to dismantle the engine, and just as Gwen starts to playfully insult his dismantling abilities, Duncan cuts the line to the horn, which causes it to honk loudly and repeatedly. Gwen, fearing that they will be caught, quickly apologizes, and Duncan fixes the cut line. Their plan ultimately works, and Chris let them stay at the island for the night until they can find another ride. There is some speculation that there would have been an elimination in this episode had it not been for Gwen and Duncan's mischief.

A different yellow bus appears in Celebrity Manhunt's Total Drama Action Reunion Special. The show's hosts reveal that Eva has been working out which is proven with a picture of her pulling a yellow bus on a rope using only her teeth.

Total Drama Jumbo Jet

Chris's Green Boat
Chris's Green Boat is a boat that is extremely identical to the original Boat of Losers, the one exception being that it is colored green instead of red and white.

Its first appearance was in Newf Kids on the Rock, when Chris first pulled up alongside the entire cast after they had been pushed out of the Jet and into the ocean by Chef. He explained their new destination to the cast, as well as their first challenge. Before riding off, he started off the musical number.

Its second appearance was in Niagara Brawls. When Chris explained the tightrope-walk challenge, he pointed out the number one danger for those who fell off the rope: The boat was in the area at the base of the Falls, beneath the tightrope that the contestants had to walk across, with sharks circling around it, and two sharks actually in the boat, driving it. At the end of the episode, after Duncan and Courtney won the challenge, the three other couples were seen in the water, swimming for their lives to get away from the approaching sharks.

Its third and final appearance was in Hawaiian Punch, where it did not appear until the very end of the episode. After the winner had been decided and the entire cast barely managed to escape the erupting volcano, Chris, along with Chef, stood on the boat as it floated in the water and attempted to sign off the season. However, before he could finish, Ezekiel (who had fallen into the volcano earlier) was suddenly shot out of the volcano at high-speed and flew screaming right through the deck of the boat, creating a hole in the bottom that caused it to sink rather rapidly, with the entire cast laughing as it did.

Multi-season Vehicles
These are all the vehicles that appear in more than one season.

The ATV
The ATV is a red, four-wheeled vehicle with an orange and yellow flame design on the side of it. It, like the plane, is mainly driven by either Chris or Chef. It was also the first recurring vehicle to appear in the series (besides the Boat of Losers).

It debuted in Not So Happy Campers - Part 2, when Chris used it to keep up with the scattered members of the Killer Bass, who were mainly falling behind significantly in the challenge.

Its next appearance was in X-Treme Torture, in which Chris was seen casually riding on it over the course of the episode, particularly in the third challenge, and as he announced that Harold had lost that challenge, and the game overall, for his team.

In That's Off the Chain!, Chris rode up to the Arts and Crafts Center on it to explain what the challenge was to the remaining campers. Later in the episode, he was riding it alongside the starting/finish line of the race track that the campers would have to race their bikes on as he explained the second half of the task.



Its last appearance was in Total Drama, Drama, Drama, Drama Island. When Chris and Chef see that Courtney has found a wall with a fake forest backdrop on it and starts to scale the wall, Chris tells Chef to stop her before she gets to the top. He immediately jumps onto the ATV and speeds off into the woods. However, he does not reach her in time. Instead, he is seen much later in the special, riding up to Gwen, Trent, and Leshawna and asking if they've seen Courtney go by in the hot-air balloon. As he explains the situation, Leshawna knocks him out with a log and hijacks the ATV, telling Gwen and Trent to join her, and they use it as a faster way of getting around the island. Towards the climax of the episode, the three ride into the campgrounds on the ATV, but Leshawna notices Heather and Harold also running into the campgrounds. She decides to get back at Heather for insulting her earlier that day and revs up the ATV. At the last second, Gwen and Trent jump off just before she speeds straight towards the duo. She chases them onto the Dock of Shame and they jump right into the lake. Despite this, she continues riding at full speed, crashing the ATV into the lake as well, which presumably destroys it.

The ATV was the first vehicle from the first three seasons to appear in Total Drama: Revenge of the Island, which confirmed that it wasn’t destroyed after all in the events of Total Drama, Drama, Drama, Drama Island. In Bigger! Badder! Brutal-er!, after Jo and Lightning are the first ones to arrive at the finish line, Chris rides up on the ATV and makes his further announcements from on top of the ATV. It is then seen again in Truth or Laser Shark, when Chris announces the first challenge.

The Skateboards
In Not Quite Famous, Geoff was seen to own a skateboard, which was pink with yellow stripes on it. His talent was doing multiple tricks with it, which earned him a spot in the talent show for the Killer Bass, alongside Courtney and DJ. However, just as he was supposed to go on for the final act by the Bass, he tried a quick practice jump and landed on the skateboard too hard, breaking it clean in half. As a result of this, Harold was selected to be his replacement, which ended up winning the task for the Killer Bass.

In Total Drama Action, an intern was seen to ride an orange and yellow-striped skateboard all the way to Ezekiel's home on the farm to get an interview with him for Celebrity Manhunt, in Celebrity Manhunt's Total Drama Action Reunion Special.

In Total Drama World Tour, a skateboard was one of the prominently featured modes of transportation for the contestants in the race on the Great Wall of China in Chinese Fake-Out. Alejandro chose the skateboard, which was also orange with yellow stripes, and managed to tie for first in the race, alongside Duncan on his bicycle.

The Helicopter
The Helicopter is a red bubble helicopter with yellow stripes on the side. It is often used when Chris needs a good aerial view of something.

It first appears in Up the Creek, when Chris flies over Boney Island to observe the two teams as they build signal fires. When Izzy tosses her fire-starter into the fire, the instant explosion blows the helicopter aside, but apparently does not harm it.

In Trial by Tri-Armed Triathlon, Chris uses the helicopter to rudely wake up the six remaining contestants, then does a recap of the last sixteen eliminations, although for Owen, who was having a dream about donuts, cheese, and other sweets at the time, the sound plays right into his dream for a moment when he sees the helicopters carrying massive donuts beneath them.

Its next appearance was in Total Drama, Drama, Drama, Drama Island, when Chris was once again observing the campers' actions from the air. In the beginning of the special, he watched as Lindsay, Beth, Geoff, and Bridgette walked right under the case while it was hanging from a tree branch and failed to notice it (although Ezekiel did see the case, Lindsay and Beth ignored him). As Bridgette and Geoff were making out underneath the case like it was a mistletoe, Chris was seen leaning out the side of the helicopter while Chef was flying it, and exclaimed, "okay, this is ridiculous!" Later, when Owen, Cody, DJ, and Tyler did see the case, Chris, still in the helicopter, yelled, "Finally!" At the very end of the special, after fourteen of the campers ended up in the lake and the case was eaten by a shark, the helicopter, still flown by Chef, swooped down over the Dock of Shame to drop off Chris before taking off again.

It then appeared early on in Total Drama Action, in Alien Resurr-eggtion. Towards the end of the episode, when Duncan, Gwen, and Trent were the only ones who made it out of the alien ship set with alien eggs, Chris swooped in overhead in the helicopter, declaring that he was the "military" who had to prevent them from getting the eggs back to base camp. He then pressed a button that dropped two huge missiles full of slime right into the Western town set that they were in, which exploded on impact and sent slime all over the place. Chris barely avoided getting slime on himself by closing the door just as the wave of slime that had flown up into the air splattered all over the helicopter. He successfully hit Duncan, but Gwen and Trent survived the blast and walked away slime-free and with the eggs.

The helicopter was not seen again until the Celebrity Manhunt's Total Drama Action Reunion Special. When the entire Total Drama cast (along with Sierra and DJ's Mother) are chasing after Alejandro's bus in their bus, Chris and Chef decide to follow them in the helicopter, filming the chase the entire way. When the cast's bus flew off a cliff, Chris considered calling for help, only for him and Chef to laugh hysterically and leave. However, Chris ultimately decided to save them after all, and returned later by himself, attaching a cable to the overturned bus and carrying it all the way back to the Abandoned Film Lot (which proves that the relatively small helicopter is actually very strong) with Owen, Gwen, Heather, Duncan, Leshawna, Izzy, DJ, Lindsay, Bridgette, Harold, Courtney, Cody, Tyler, Noah, Ezekiel, and Sierra all inside. Thus, these sixteen cast members all got to participate in Total Drama World Tour.

It wasn't seen again until Chinese Fake-Out, where Chris uses it to monitor the contestants' progress as they race along the Great Wall of China. For the second time in the series, the Helicopter narrowly misses a massive explosion during the challenge; this time, it was from a land mine that Courtney ran over, which sent a charred Courtney flying past the Helicopter at one point.

It next appeared in Awwwwww, Drumheller, when it was Chris's "Emergency Kit" for when the Total Drama Jumbo Jet was accidentally blown up by Sierra. He and Chef Hatchet boarded the helicopter, much to the chagrin of the final three when it was proven to only be a two-seater.

In Planes, Trains, and Hot Air Mobiles, Chris and Chef continue to follow the progress of the final three (along with "cling-ons," Sierra and Ezekiel) throughout the episode. At one point in the episode, Cody and Sierra's makeshift hot air mobile nearly crashed into the helicopter from behind, but the helicopter ducked just in time. Cody angrily told Chris and Chef to watch where they were going. When a sudden hail storm hit, Chris and Chef were kept perfectly safe and unharmed by the hail due to the glass covering of the helicopter, while the contestants were mercilessly pummeled.

The Helicopter’s first appearance in Total Drama: Revenge of the Island was in the very first episode, Bigger! Badder! Brutal-er! After the larger, more luxurious cabin was blown up by the Mutant Maggots, the helicopter appeared overhead, dangling the other original cabin from a mechanical claw below it. It dropped the old cabin down onto the spot where the new one had been, much to the campers’ chagrin.

The Bikes
In That's Off the Chain!, the nine remaining contestants needed to build bikes for a motocross race. Leshawna decided to hitch a ride on Izzy's bike to avoid building her own, but Izzy went crazy and ended up driving both of them all over the island for the whole episode, thus missing the challenge (and inadvertently giving the two immunity for the episode). At the end of the episode, they were seen riding off a cliff and crashing into the lake. The other seven all competed in the race and switched their bikes, with the following results: Geoff getting Gwen's bike, Owen getting Duncan's bike, DJ getting Geoff's bike, Duncan getting Lindsay's bike, Lindsay getting Heather's bike, Gwen getting Owen's bike, and Heather getting DJ's bike. Eventually, Geoff's, DJ's, and Gwen's bikes all crashed in a massive pile-up, leaving the other four bikes to reach the finish line and move onto the invincibility race; the last one to finish the race in this second stage was eliminated. These four were Owen's bike, a simple tricycle with large tires, Duncan's, a motorized bike with a skull on it, Lindsay's, a simple bike with a pink pony head, and Heather's, another motorized bike which was also built by Lindsay. During the race, both Owen's and Duncan's bikes were destroyed. The remaining two bikes were still intact and crossed the finish line, but were presumably dismantled afterwards, since their usefulness had ended, and they were never seen again.

Two seasons later, in Total Drama World Tour, the bicycles were featured prominently in the first half of the challenge in Chinese Fake-Out. It was one of several modes of transportation that the final seven contestants could use in the race along the Great Wall of China. There were two different bicycles: A regular bicycle, and a tricycle. The bicycle was chosen by Duncan, who managed to tie for first in the race alongside Alejandro. The tricycle was chosen by Courtney, who rode over a pack of dynamite on it, which destroyed the tricycle and thus caused her to lose the race, thus being unable to compete in the next round. A bicycle is briefly seen one final time in Planes, Trains, and Hot Air Mobiles. After the Total Drama Jumbo Jet was accidentally blown up by Sierra, she and Cody were rummaging through the remains of the first-class area. While there, Cody pulled out a bicycle with a green body and several rust stains on it. He thought that perhaps he could use it to get to Tijuana Beach, Mexico, but the front tire suddenly fell off at that moment, and he tossed it away. These two bicycles bore no resemblance to any of the first eight bikes seen in the first season, and had a much simpler and more commonly-seen design.

The Hot-Air Balloon
The Hot-Air Balloon was the most significant of the vehicles featured in Total Drama, Drama, Drama, Drama Island. After Courtney climbs over a wall and discovers that civilization was nearby all along, a cameraman in the balloon above her attempted to stop her by dropping a boom mike onto her head. However, she managed to pull the balloon down to her using the wire, and eventually chased out the cameraman away and hijacked the balloon for herself. Through a series of events, Owen, Cody, DJ and Tyler, who had the million dollar case at the time, ended up in her grasp when Owen's ankle was caught in the dangling boom wire, after the four of them fell off the 1,000-foot cliff. They eventually ended up in the basket with Courtney, and the bear got its ankle caught in the same boom wire as Owen had been. The five of them ended up getting in a long argument over the case, and during the quarrel, Courtney forgot to watch where the balloon was going. When it floated into the campgrounds, it ended up heading straight for the massive diving board platform, where Geoff, Bridgette, Katie, and Sadie were at the time. The four boys decided to jump for it, but Courtney snatched the case from them just before they fell, landing on the diving board. However, the bear then appeared in the basket behind her, and she also jumped and landed on the diving board. Neither the hot-air balloon nor the bear is seen again for the rest of the special.

The Hot-Air Balloon appeared again in Total Drama: Revenge of the Island, in Truth or Laser Shark. In the final segment of the challenge, when Dakota and Cameron are trying to make it onto the giant baseball mitt, four photographers suddenly float in on the Hot-Air Balloon and start photographing Dakota. This distracts her long enough for Cameron to win the challenge for the Mutant Maggots. Subsequently, Chris has Chef slingshot a rock at the Balloon, puncturing it and causing it to whiz away, which Dakota said was rude. She was eliminated later in the episode as a result.

The Bus
The bus is one of the main vehicles in the second season, and had a brief appearance in the third season. It is used to transport the contestants to certain locations, particularly to where the season takes place in the first episode of each season. It is blue and white, has several noticeable grease and rust stains, and a large crack in one of the windows.

In Monster Cash, it dropped off the original fourteen contestants at the Abandoned Film Lot, and a piece of it fell off the moment it is parked. It is depicted as a regular city bus, and the driver is not seen to be Chris or Chef.

Its next appearance was in Top Dog where the bus was used to drop off three of the final four castmates, Duncan, Beth, and Owen, along with their animal partners, in the middle of the woods so that they would have to make their way back to the film lot to win the day's challenge. After these three disembarked, Chris also emerged from the bus, implying that he was the one driving it at the time.

The bus returns once more, in what is easily its most prominent role, in the Celebrity Manhunt's Total Drama Action Reunion Special, although in this episode, it is owned by DJ and his momma. This episode is the first (and currently the only) one to show the interior of the bus. It is depicted as a mobile home, with many rows of seats, a roundtable setup, a large-screen TV, and a lavatory. Celebrity Manhunt hosts Josh and Blaineley explain that after Total Drama Action, DJ and his mother went on to host their own cooking show. At first, it was highly successful, until the high fat-levels resulted someone's death. The fiasco left the two homeless, bankrupt, and possession-less. Thus, they were forced to live in the bus and travel the country in it. The two of them arrived at the Gemmie Awards in the bus. Then, in the very end, when the cast tries to figure out a way to get to New York City, DJ offers them all a ride on the bus. Courtney takes it upon herself to drive the bus. They eventually come upon a similar bus that has the entire cast of what is supposedly Chris's new show, "Total Drama Dirtbags," inside, and is driven by Alejandro. An action sequence ensues, involving Courtney ramming the Dirtbags' bus with their own bus and some of the cast working together and using a bra catapult to launch hundreds of chocolate candies at the Dirtbags' bus. Eventually, the Total Drama cast is successful in ruining the Dirtbags' bus. However, Duncan and Courtney start making out in celebration, and the bus, with no driver, slowly moves off-road and heads toward a cliff. When Courtney throws Duncan off and tries to veer the Bus to the side, the Bus loses its front right wheel and careens right off the edge of the cliff. Even after crashing, the bus still plays an important role. After Geoff, Trent, Beth, Katie, Sadie, Justin, Eva, and DJ's mother all leave to go get help, Chris and Chef arrive in the helicopter to rescue the cast. He lowers a cable and attaches it to the underside of the overturned bus. All of the remaining cast members climb inside the bus just before he pulls up and lifts the bus out of the canyon, eventually carrying it all the way back to the film lot. It was these fifteen contestants (along with Alejandro and Sierra) who would get to participate in Total Drama World Tour.

The bus is seen in the very next episode (despite the obvious and significant damage it sustained in the previous episode), Walk Like An Egyptian - Part 1, when it drops off all of the contestants at the airport where the Total Drama Jumbo Jet is waiting, similarly to when it dropped off all of the contestants in Monster Cash.

The Golf Cart and Trailer
This double vehicle also had its first appearance in Monster Cash. Shortly after the castmates were first dropped off at the Film Lot, Chris arrived in a golf cart, pulling a long trailer attached behind it, with enough seats for the fourteen castmates to sit in. Chris then slowly pulls the trailer through the film lot, giving the cast a basic tour of the film lot, as well as an explanation of the season and how it will go. He then takes them right into the middle of the Monster Movie set, and unceremoniously dumps them off there to start the challenge. It was then seen once more at the very end of the episode, when Chris was riding it past the castmates as he told them to get a good night's sleep in their trailers (which had just been rebuilt by Chef). In this episode, Chris claims that the golf cart is rented by the hour, despite it having several more appearances later on in the season. It was also seen to have a special feature; when Chris pressed a red button, several panes of glass rose up to enclose the four open sides of the cart (where the windshield, windows, and rear window would be), so that when the cart passed behind the Lame-o-sine, the heavy cloud of exhaust being expelled from it would not affect him, but the fourteen castmates were hacking and coughing on it. Shortly afterwards, when Geoff was getting impatient and wanted to get on with the challenge, Chris claimed that the cart had an eject button, and that he would use it, which silenced Geoff. However, he was most likely lying about this just to get Geoff to be quiet. The Golf Cart was later seen at the end of the episode after the challenge, lacking the trailer behind it, when Chris rode past the contestants on it and told them to get a good night's sleep.

In Masters of Disasters, the golf cart and trailer were featured in the first half of the challenge, when the roof of the trailer was removed so that Chris could attach a massive machine gun onto it that could fire golf balls at the contestants (to simulate hail). Chef was seen to be sitting in the golf cart that was attached to the trailer at the time. This is the last appearance of the trailer, but the golf cart is seen later.

The golf cart is seen by itself for the first and last time in One Million Bucks, B.C.. At the end of the challenge, when the Killer Grips emerge victorious, Chef drives up in the golf cart with their reward, a "mammoth-sized" slab of ribs, tied to the roof. However, he leaves the cart running, so the moment he exits, it instantly moves backwards and falls right into the nearby tar pit, with both the cart and the ribs sink to be buried forever.

Despite the golf cart supposedly being destroyed in the previous episode, it (or possibly another one) appears again in Million Dollar Babies, when Chris rides up to the cast in it to tell them about the fifth and final challenge of the day: cheerleading.

The golf cart was featured yet again in The Aftermath: III in the "That's Gonna Leave a Mark!" segment. The clip showed Chef driving the golf cart in the previous episode, on the way to deliver the doomed ribs to the victorious Grips. However, he accidentally rear-ended a similar golf cart, which was driven by the Sasquatchanakwa. The angry yeti retaliated by pulling a golf club out of a bag in the back of his cart and repeatedly whacking the front-right tire of Hatchet's golf cart, then flipped him off.

Appropriately, the final appearance of the Golf Cart in Total Drama Action was in part one of the season finale, Mutiny on the Soundstage. Towards the very end, Chef used it to bring a massive safe over to the earthquake rig from Masters of Disasters so that he and Chris could launch it at the two finalists, Beth and Duncan, while they were running the course.

The golf cart's final appearance in the series, is in the ninth episode of Total Drama World Tour, Can't Help Falling in Louvre. The golf cart, without the roof attached, was seen in one of the many hallways of the Louvre museum. DJ, who had stolen a replica of a mummified dog from an Egypt exhibit in hopes that he could somehow use it to lift his curse, hijacked the golf cart and started racing through the halls, heading back towards the pyramid court where his teammate Lindsay was. However, during his drive, the Sasquatchanakwa, the Bear, and the Baby Seal that he ran over and nearly killed in Anything Yukon Do, I Can Do Better, all began chasing him. They eventually reached him and all climbed aboard the golf cart, starting to attack him and beat him up. The cart continued driving around aimlessly. Eventually, it reached the pyramid court just as Lindsay was putting the finishing touches on their team's statue, and thus about to win the challenge for them. However, the golf cart crashed right into the statue, destroying both the cart and the statue, thus ruining their chances of winning, and eventually resulting in the elimination of Lindsay later in the episode.

The White Jeep
The White Jeep was featured briefly in African Lying Safari. It was a short, simple Jeep with many noticeable grease and/or rust stains all over it, as well as various pieces of equipment (such as a shovel) attached to it. After Alejandro successfully captured Ezekiel, Chris and Chef rode up to him and Heather in the Jeep so that the former could officially announce Alejandro's win. The entire remaining cast then (off-screen) climbed into the Jeep to race back to the Jumbo Jet and take off before Ezekiel woke up, as Chris was desperate to get rid of him. Despite this, Ezekiel still managed to get in.

The White Jeep appeared again in Total Drama: Revenge of the Island. Its first appearance was in Bigger! Badder! Brutal-er!, when the paparazzi arrived and attempted to get photographs of Dakota for the second time. The four photographers were in the White Jeep taking pictures of Dakota when Chris cut down a massive tree that dropped between Dakota and the photographers, blocking their view.

In Ice Ice Baby, the white jeep appeared again when Chris explained the first part of the challenge, although neither he or Chef were actually seen using it.

One-Time Vehicles
These are all the vehicles that have appeared only once in the series.

Chris's Blue Scooter
Chris's Blue Scooter, a sleek, shiny, white and light blue scooter, appeared in The Big Sleep while he was riding alongside the campers during the 20K run, telling them to hurry it up.

The Kayak
The Kayak, similar to the canoe, appears in Dodgebrawl. While Tyler and Lindsay are taking a break from the dodgeball game to cuddle underneath the Dock of Shame, Heather finds them, and is enraged, since she had ordered Lindsay not to date anyone on the other team. When Tyler tries to calm her down, she picks up a nearby kayak and throws it down at him.

The kayak was also briefly referred to in Up the Creek, when DJ nervously asked Geoff if canoes were the ones that flipped over a lot. Geoff replied, "Nah, you're thinking kayaks."

The Royal Canadian Mounted Police Helicopter
The Royal Canadian Mounted Police Helicopter appears in Up the Creek, when the RCMP arrive to arrest Izzy. It is a large blue and white helicopter equipped with a search spotlight. It chases Izzy away, effectively eliminating her from the game and possibly sparing Lindsay.

The Jet-Ski
The Jet-Ski appeared in Haute Camp-ture when Chris used it to get from Camp Wawanakwa to Playa Des Losers.

The Go-Karts
The Go-Karts were featured in Ocean's Eight - Or Nine, as they were part of the third and final part of the episode's challenge. The two teams had to build their own go-karts out of scratch, and then race them down the replica of the 1,000-foot cliff and cross the finish line first.

While the Gaffers were able to build a successful go-kart and get a strong head-start, the Grips had a much harder time, and basically had to hold their pieces together and run them down the mountain. At one point, the Gaffers' engine stalled, and the Grips passed them. Just when it seemed that the Grips were about to win, their go-kart suddenly fell apart, and the Gaffers were able to push their disabled go-kart over the finish line and win the challenge.

The Sports Car
The Sports Car is featured twice in Ocean's Eight - Or Nine. The first time is when Chris is doing the recap, and he is seen sitting in the sleek car, playfully revving the engine. As he finishes the ending line, "...on Total...Drama...Action!", he ends up carelessly driving off and smashing into a fake tree, which smashes the front half of the car. The second appearance of the car is very much like the first, in which Chris drives up to the castmates on the summit of the replica of the 1,000-foot cliff, and explains the final part of the challenge to them. After he finishes his explanation, he attempts to leave the scene in style, but once again carelessly speeds off, this time crashing off-screen.

The Train
The Train was the main vehicle featured in Get a Clue. It consists of the engine and two cars. Also, unlike most other vehicles, it actually appears to be in normal condition, and is not a cheesy mock-up of a real train, but is seen to be a perfectly real and operational train running on a seemingly-endless line of track. In the second half of the episode, the final five castmates (Duncan, Beth, Courtney, Harold, and Lindsay) were supposedly being treated with the reward of a first-class dinner on the rear car of the train while it was in motion. However, it went horribly wrong when all the lights on the train suddenly blacked out, and Chris was heard apparently resisting someone, then screaming. When the lights came back on, Chris was lying dead on the floor.

After realizing the situation they were in, the castmates' (particularly Courtney's) main concern was to get off the train. At Harold's suggestion, Beth attempted to phone the engineer, but she said that the line was dead. Courtney initially believed that it wasn't even real, and was simply on a rig to make it bounce and rattle like it was moving, and that the passing objects and scenery seen out the windows were simply holographic images. Courtney attempted to get Duncan to prove this true, and had him climb up through a hatch in the ceiling so that he could escape and go look for Chef, a producer, or any staff member who could help them. However, just as he climbed out, the train passed right through a tunnel, which knocked him right back into the train. Duncan was able to convince them that it was, in fact, a real train. Their new main concern was to stop the train. They attempted to throw random objects through a trapdoor they found in the floor so that they would get caught in the wheels and derail the train. However, everything they threw was completely destroyed, and did not stop the train.

Courtney told Duncan to check the other car to see if there was anyone else on the train with them. He did so, and presumably searched the engine as well, but when he came back, he told them that they were truly alone on the train. Eventually, Lindsay figured out that Courtney was the one who murdered Chris, and the real Chris (who, obviously, was not really dead) came into the car at that moment to declare that Lindsay had won the challenge, due to being the first to solve the mystery of his so-called murder. After this, it is presumed that the train was finally brought to a stop to allow the castmates and Chris to get off.

The Total Drama Dirtbags Bus
The Total Drama Dirtbags Bus appeared in the Celebrity Manhunt's Total Drama Action Reunion Special. It was never seen from the side, only from the front and above. It is apparently the exact same size and design as the other Bus, except it is colored differently, with black, gray, and purple as the dominating colors. After Chris declared that his new show, Total Drama Dirtbags, would be replacing the original Total Drama cast, the Dirtbags Bus left for New York City with all of its cast members inside; one of the interns, the killer, an eskimo, a Bear, the Sasquatchanakwa, and Alejandro, the latter of whom was driving the Bus. The entire Total Drama Cast pursued them in their own Bus, eventually catching up to them and engaging in a high-speed game of chicken. They assaulted the Dirtbags Bus by launching hundreds of Owen's chocolate candies at it and covering the windshield, obstructing Alejandro's vision and even hitting the Sasquatchanakwa right in the head at one point. Eventually, Cody declared that the Dirtbags had fallen behind, though the fate of the Dirtbags Bus itself was left unclear. It is implied that it eventually made back to the film lot, due to Alejandro being there after the original cast is rescued from their own crashed Bus, as well as the presence of the Bear and the Sasquatchanakwa in Total Drama World Tour.

The Basket Canoes
The Basket Canoes were the main vehicles for the second half of Walk Like An Egyptian - Part 2. The three teams had to hand-weave their own baskets and use them to cross the Nile River and reach the finish line. Team Chris Is Really Really Really Really Hot initially started out with the advantage, due to Sierra's expert basket-weaving abilities. However, after she and Izzy swapped teams, Team Chris had to finish the canoe themselves, resulting in the rear half of it looking terrible. But ultimately, the canoe was able to float. With Sierra now on Team Amazon, she managed to make an amazing canoe in a short amount of time, large enough for their camel, Ruby, and even with a small hut in the back. Team Victory was able to make a perfectly average canoe, as Leshawna proved to be a good basket-weaver. These three canoes were featured during the song Rowin' Time. While the canoes of Team Chris and Team Amazon ultimately managed to make it to the shore with little to no damage, Team Victory's canoe had both the front and rear ends bitten off by crocodiles, and it barely managed to stay afloat long enough for its six occupants to evacuate and run onto the beach.

The Dogsleds
The Dogsleds were the main vehicles for the episode Anything Yukon Do, I Can Do Better. The three teams had to race their dogsleds to a finish line once again. This time, however, the three sleds were already there. The way of deciding which team got which sled depended on which team member arrived at the sleds first after jumping across the ice floes. The first member of each team would choose themselves. There were three different sleds, each in a different condition. The best of the sleds, which went to Team Victory, was a sleek sled in perfect condition, with a rounded front, black and orange paint, and a yellow lightning bolt symbol on the sides. The second, which went to Team Amazon, was in fairly good condition, with netting on the sides, and two different areas for the occupants to stand: In the front half, where the driver of the sled sat, and the rear half, where the occupants would have to stand up and hold onto a bar behind the driver. The third and final sled, which went to Team Chris, was easily in the worst condition. It was nothing more than a flat piece of wood with a curved front, and the rope tied around the cargo of the sled (two radioactive barrels and a radioactive crate) an unnecessary amount of times. Each sled had one large, fuzzy hat for one member of the team to wear. On Team Victory, it went to Leshawna, and on Team Amazon, it went to Heather. Team Chris Is Really Really Really Really Hot's sled apparently had enough hats for every team member, but due to Izzy fooling around with the radioactive crate, she lost the lid of the crate, which had all five hats on top of it.

Chris's Snowmobile
Chris's Snowmobile, a red color similar to the ATV, is seen briefly in Anything Yukon Do, I Can Do Better, when he rides up to Bridgette, who is stuck to a pole and asks what happened. He then tells her to perform a musical number, and watches the whole thing from the snowmobile. When it is over, Bridgette asks for warm water to pour down her face. Chris says he would, but he only has one bottle of it. He then proceeds to drink the entire large bottle of warm water right in front of Bridgette, taunting her, then throws the bottle down on the ground near her. She picks it up, only to find it completely empty. Chris then rides off on the snowmobile.

The River Boats
The River Boats were featured in Broadway, Baby! as the main mode of transportation for the three teams in the second part of their challenge: Racing from Liberty Island to Central Park in Midtown Manhattan. All of the boats were nearly identical in size and design, the exception being that the color of the rubber lining changed to match the color of each team; yellow for Team Victory, pink for Team Amazon, and blue for Team Chris. In addition, Chris had a river boat similar to the other three in the beginning of the episode, with a plain, tan-colored rubber and a slightly longer length than the others.

The Rowboats
The Rowboats, similar to the river boats, were a group of three boats featured in Newf Kids on the Rock. They were all small, gray, wooden boats with three slats in them for the occupants to sit on. Two of the boats had to be rowed manually by the passengers, while the third was equipped with an outboard motor. These boats were used by the contestants to get to the mainland in a race very similar to the one in New York City.

The Double-Decker Bus
The Double-Decker Bus was featured in I See London.... It was first seen on the London Bridge, which the remaining contestants (except for Alejandro) parachuted down to. They all then boarded the bus and headed off into London while Chris explained the challenge to them. It wasn't seen again until the climax of the episode, when Owen and Noah returned to it to try and capture Jack the Ripper. It was inside the Bus where the final confrontation took place, with the Ripper appearing and capturing Noah, and eventually being outsmarted by Owen, with the help of the London Guard Dogs.

The Wooden Ships
The Wooden Ships were featured in Sweden Sour, when the two remaining teams had to build a ship to cross the icy waters on. Team Chris (which, at that point consisted of Owen, Alejandro, and Duncan) built a perfectly functional, normal boat, complete with decorative shields on the sides and a red-and-white-striped sail. On Team Amazon, Cody simply built a wooden replica of Gwen's head. Despite some reluctance from his teammates, they managed to get it in the water after cutting the top off, to which they found that it actually floats. A small mast and sail were placed inside the hollow interior. In the second part of the challenge, Chris told the teams that they either had to retrieve their floating flag first or destroy the other team's boat first. Team Amazon went for the flag, while Team Chris went on the offensive. After a long, dramatic, and intense standoff, Owen ordered his teammates to fire himself from the cannon. He flew right at Team Amazon's boat just as they were about to grab their flag and destroyed it. It is unknown what became of Team Chris' boat.

The Swan Boats
The Swan Boats were featured in Niagara Brawls. In the beginning of the episode, when the original final seven were sleeping, they were dragged down into the cargo hold of the Jet by two interns, who placed them alongside the two Swan Boats before dropping them out of the Jet and into the river. Sierra, Courtney, and Owen held onto the first boat, while Heather, Alejandro, Duncan, and Cody held onto the second boat. Soon, the cast realized that they were heading straight towards Niagara Falls. In desperation, Cody made a final plea by saying that if he lived, he’d let Sierra kiss him. Sierra, fully motivated for the chance to get a kiss from Cody, worked fast to save the cast, transferring Owen over to the second boat and grabbing a rope to tie the two boats together. She then proceeded to grab the rope with her teeth and paddle furiously back to shore, saving the entire cast and the two boats.

The Rickshaw
The Rickshaw was one of the main modes of transportation for the contestants in the Great Wall Race in Chinese Fake-Out. Unlike all the other vehicles, this vehicle's only appearance was in this episode alone. It was chosen by Blaineley, who, due to being too lazy to try to win by herself, simply sat in it and waited, appearing to let all of the other contestants get a significant lead ahead of her. However, due to an an alliance she had with Chef Hatchet, Chef pulled the Rickshaw for her, and managed to get her across the finish line first, long ahead all of the others. The Rickshaw is not seen again after this.

The Civilian Train
The Civilian Train was another train that appeared and served a key role in Planes, Trains, and Hot Air Mobiles. Heather, while trying to find a fast and effective way to get to Mexico, stumbled upon the train station and the soon-to-depart train. She quickly boarded it, and discovered, to her satisfaction, that it was embarking on a non-stop trip to Mexico. However, both Alejandro and a now-feral and rabid Ezekiel ended up on the same train just as it departed, and this resulted in a rather epic Mexican Standoff, with Ezekiel and Alejandro both fighting against Heather. The fight spread quickly from inside the car, where Ezekiel chased Heather up to the door before vanishing. Heather and Alejandro then started to fight on the roof of the cars, with Alejandro attempting to disconnect the coupling between his car and Heather’s car with his belt. Eventually, Heather managed to knock Alejandro off the train and climbed back inside, only for Ezekiel to reappear and, after a brief fight, throw her out a window as well. Although Ezekiel did not appear again for the rest of the episode, it is presumed that the train was how Ezekiel managed to get to Hawaii, and thus appear in the finale. The presence of the train in this episode was one of the contributing factors to the title of the episode.

The Interns' Truck
The Interns' Truck was seen briefly in Planes, Trains, and Hot Air Mobiles. It is a medium-sized semi-truck. Right before the Civilian Train left the station, the Truck, driven by the two burly interns wearing outfits similar to Chris's, backed up against one of the cars of the Train. It then slowly lifted up its trailer like a dump truck and unloaded its cargo into the Train's car. Inside were most of the animals of the series, including Sasquatchanakwa and a Panda Bear. Also onboard were stowaways Alejandro and Ezekiel.

The Hot-Air Mobile
The Hot-Air Mobile was a crude, makeshift mode of transportation built by Cody in Planes, Trains, and Hot Air Mobiles. An extremely crude and impromptu design, mainly fashioned out of debris from the remains of the late Total Drama Jumbo Jet, it was simply Sierra’s wheelchair (acting as the basket) attached to a barrel of fuel, and then with the two tied to a massive parachute that generally hung in the same shape as a hot air balloon, with the heat from the barrel keeping it airborne. It eventually ended up crashing into telephone lines, thoroughly electrocuting both Sierra and Cody and ruining their makeshift hot air mobile. The presence of this Hot-Air Mobile in this episode was one of the contributing factors to the title of the episode.

The Speedboats
The Speedboats were the third reincarnation of the River Boats and Rowboats, appearing in Planes, Trains, and Hot Air Mobiles. They were three very sleek and very fast speedboats with a long, orange hull, with white rims at the top of the orange and short windshields lining the passenger area on three sides. Ultimately, the only one of these three that survived was Heather’s, as Alejandro’s and Cody’s ended up crashing into each other, resulting in a tie.

The Yachts
The Yachts were two massive, luxurious yachts that appeared in Bigger! Badder! Brutal-er!; one being colored red and white, the other plain white. The red and white one first appeared when the original cast of 24 is revealed, where many of them are dancing or otherwise celebrating the new season, only to find out that they are not competing in the new season, and their yacht speeds right past the Dock of Shame. Chris then introduces the new cast of 13, who are riding on a similar yacht as it pulls up to the Dock. However, Chris detonates a bomb on the underside of the yacht that blows it up and forces the entire cast to swim to shore.

Prop Vehicles
These are all "vehicles" that appeared in the series that were actually just props, and technically not really capable of going anywhere.

The Submarines
The Submarines were two identical sets built like submarines for the second and final part of the challenge in Masters of Disasters. The two teams were locked inside the Submarines, which then began filling with water. It is inside these Submarines that a very crucial scene takes place: The Gaffers find out that Leshawna had faked her crying in One Flu Over the Cuckoos just to win the reward. In both Submarines, there were two exits in the form of metal tubes: One in the ceiling and one in the floor. However, on both Submarines, the top tubes were proven to be booby-traps, as the one in the Gaffers' Submarine was filled with fire and the one in the Grips' Submarine had a shark in it. Thus, the bottom tubes were the escape route. While the Grips were given the combination to the dial on the bottom tube, Justin and Lindsay fought over it and eventually ended up dropping it into the water, which washed the ink off and ruined it. Eventually, just as it seemed that the entire cast was actually about to drown, Harold managed to open the bottom tube by using a stethoscope to listen for the vibrations as he turned the dial. Upon opening it, he drained all of the water out of both Submarines and saved the entire cast, not to mention also winning the challenge for the Gaffers.

The Fake Airplane
The Fake Airplane appeared in Full Metal Drama, where it was the centerpiece of the first part of the challenge: Jump out of the plane just like World War I para-troopers. While most of the cast was initially reluctant to do it in the first place, they were even more frightened when Chris threw the box of parachutes out the door. Ironically, Izzy (who might have conquered her fear of flying the first time) was the first to do it, saying that there was only one way out. Owen was motivated to go next when Chris threw a corned beef smoothie out the door, and Owen immediately jumped after it. While none of the other castmates willingly did it, the rapid change of weight after Owen jumped out caused the plane to slant to one side, and everyone slid right out the door. It was then revealed that they all landed on a giant mattress, and the "Plane" was just a prop within a studio that was barely off the ground.

In Get a Clue, the plane in Full Metal Drama is briefly referred to by Courtney, when she sees that she could only watch the others jump out of the plane, wishing that she was in the competition with them. She referred to the fact that the plane was fake to try to convince them that the train they were stuck on was also fake, even though it was proven that it wasn't.

The Spaceship
The Spaceship in 2008: A Space Owen had a role similar to the Fake Airplane in Full Metal Drama; it was the setting of the first part of the challenge. The final five castmates had to spend the night in a space simulation rollercoaster, which was a replica of a typical spaceship on a track that would ride around so fast, they would be suspended in mid-air just like zero gravity. While things initially seemed to go along smoothly, Owen still had an obligation to fulfill to cause drama. Thus, he took Harold's pair of nunchuks from home, which floated by him at that moment, and used them to break open a nearby window. The uncontrolled decompression started sucking everything out of the ship, including their oxygen. An alarm came on, and Chris told them that they had to plug the hole and stop the ship. Beth and Courtney, at that time in an alliance, looked at Owen, still hovering near the window. They used Owen to plug the hole, while Duncan threw Harold over to the controlboard so that he could grab the main joystick and stop the ship.
