Story Appearances
Acorn Acres - Problematic Pete appears in the Down We Go sidetask. His dialogue during this task is as follows:
"Oi, [Toon Name]. Got a minute?"
"Join me in thinking about something for just a moment."
"People keep asking me, how did my legs get so short?"
"And I thought it was a good question, honestly."
"I sat here and I thought about it..."
"And thought about it..."
"And realized, I was stumped!"
"And then..."
"My legs got even shorter!"
"But I turned this problem into a thing of profit!"
"I started teaching Toons the right way to get stumped."
"Poof! Their legs shrunk. Just like mine!"
"It didn't seem to be permanent for them, however."
"Just some quick book reading fixed it for them from what I saw."
"Anyways, what about you? You wanna learn?"
"Great!"
"Let's make this easy then."
"You give me things to help me solve my small leg issue, and I'll teach you!"
"Let's try crafting some stilts. That sounds easy!"
"Gather some metal bits from the Cogs, from there we can build up!"
"And get me up off the ground some more!"
After defeating 20 Level 7+ Cogs
"This looks promising!"
"But we're going to need some long metal pieces to fasten all the metal bits on."
"How about a Cog building?"
"Just bring me some quality materials from a Cog building, and we'll get these stilts going!"
After recovering Some Quality Metal from a Cog Building
"You're doing me quite a solid, [Toon Name]!"
"Not kidding, by the way. These metal parts are SOLID!"
"Now I just need a soft filling, and for the soles of my feet!"
"Trust me, I'm a professional problem solver, so finding the right material isn't a problem."
"Cheese!"
"Yes! Bring me some cheese from Big Cheeses!"
"Six should fill both stilts up perfectly for me to stand on."
"Thanks, [Toon Name]!"
After recovering 6 Pieces of Cheese from Big Cheeses
"Looks great!"
"Smell, however?"
"Let's not talk about it."
"Regardless, I'm going to be figuring out my next problem."
"How to walk on these without falling over!"
"Thanks again, [Toon Name]!"
"So, just think of a reaaaallly hard question."
"Maybe look in a book for something to go off of."
"And poof! You'll have short legs, easy!"
"Again, some Toons fix it apparently by doing some simple book reading."
"Now, time to practice with these stilts."
"Have fun with the short legs!"
