** One for Gavin and Geoff's constructions: Wipeout, episodes 10 and 11, was released in August 2012, where one of its obstacles was a series of pistons that rapidly shunted the contestants back and forth. In this episode, 223 episodes and over 4 years later, Jack and Gavin return to that part of the map to discover that the pistons are ''[[TheDeterminator still going]]''.

* One for Gavin and Geoff's constructions: Wipeout, episodes 10 and 11, was released in August 2012, where one of its obstacles was a series of pistons that rapidly shunted the contestants back and forth. 223 episodes and four years later, in The World is Lava, Jack and Gavin return to that part of the map to discover that the pistons are ''[[TheDeterminator still going]]''.

** [[spoiler:The fact that Geoff won. He won the original ''Tower of Geoff'' (though as stated above it was because he was an InvincibleVillain) and this proved he could still do it when the situation was reversed. A highlight is how he won, managing to trick the others into believing that he didn't have the tower and that someone else did.]]

** You have to give props to Gavin for this event - unlike Geoff's InvincibleVillain during the original three episodes this sort of thing happened in, Gavin gave the gang a run for their money ''while'' still being credible. Even more exciting is the chase after Jack ambushes and knocks him off, which Gavin's attempts to escape were genuinely exciting.

* Episode 19 of ''Let's Play Minecraft'' is Ray cementing his status as a {{Badass}}. The competition is that everyone has a piece of the Tower of Pimps. A person must gain each piece and build the Tower of Pimps on the top of a pyramid. Ray quickly wins. Then, a bonus round is played where Ray manages to win yet again, albeit with some difficulty. They play one more round and despite throwing everything they had at Ray, he manages to just barely put the final piece on the tower. At the end everyone is shocked that Ray managed to win three times. In Geoff's words:

* Since Geoff has been very vocal about hating ''Frozen'' with a passion, it feels good to fans of the movie who are sick of the backlash when Jack, Jeremy and Michael sang "Let it Go" to mock him in Episode 216.

** And the second-biggest BrickJoke / ChekhovsGun of all[[note]]The biggest will be [[spoiler:if we ever learn what's through that tunnel]][[/note]]: We finally learn [[spoiler:what's underneath the Altar of Pimps, and why no one had been allowed in - Gavin and Geoff had spent ''over a year'' preparing that room with hundreds of gold blocks for the final challenge of the scavenger hunt]].

** [[spoiler:In an act of déjà vu, Mogar once again dominates once he gets his hands on a Stone Sword. Jack may have been able to defeat him, but Michael managed to get a Golden Apple just before their match, ensuring Michael's eventual Tower victory]].

** The episode also really shows how GenreSavvy Ray is. When he goes, he immediately grabs the power ups near him and does not waste time killing anyone giving him the chance to collect a lot of blocks. He also uses the fact that he goes first to his advantage. He immediately charges to the starting point ensuring that the person trying to mine the blocks has to move quickly and be intelligent to get past him.

** The next round is a race to CTT and back where Ray gets an early lead. However, he has only a bronze sword compared to everyone else having an iron sword. [[GenreSavvy So he proceeds to run around the area to dodge the people chasing him, at the cost of taking a longer route.]] Michael takes the direct route and is in the lead but Jack stops him, which is when Ray sneaks past Jack to get the win.
** The next round has the guys try to build up to the highest point and get back down. [[GenreSavvy Gavin melts his iron armor down to make a shovel to dig up dirt. He then builds his tower with segments in it so he can get down easily.]] Gavin gets down and claims a piece as his prize...which is when Jack realizes that Gavin is not at the top after all. Jack accidentally dies up there and then it becomes a mad scramble to get to the top. Geoff takes Ray's suggestion of digging a tower next to water so that he could survive the long fall. [[CombatPragmatist Ray comes up with the idea to use Jack's already complete tower to help with his.]] [[spoiler: In the end, though, it is Gavin who gets to the top and back down to win the ground, beating out Ray by about 5 seconds.]]

** [[spoiler: The next round is a race to commit suicide. Keep in mind that both Michael and Ray need only one more round to win. Just about everyone tries to kill themselves by climbing up a nearby ladder and jumping off it. [[GenreSavvy Michael makes his own tower and jumps off it to his death]]...[[WrongGenreSavvy unfortunately, he survives with one heart and Ray accidentally kills him when he tries to knock him aside.]] This opens the way for Geoff to take the win, thus having a three way tie for first and also being probably Geoff's best showing in a Minecraft LetsPlay in quite some time.]]

* Late in the Thunderdome-style matches, some TNT explodes in the arena, causing lava to cover a large area of the battlefield with obsidian blocks as stepping stones. Ryan somehow manages to jump from block to block backwards while fighting Michael.
* [[spoiler:In an act of déjà vu, Mogar once again dominates once he gets his hands on a Stone Sword. Jack may have been able to defeat him, but Michael managed to get a Golden Apple just before their match, ensuring Michael's eventual Tower victory]].

* The winner of Chutes and Ladders [[spoiler:wins by landing on a ladder that takes him ''to the finishing square''.]]

[[caption-width-right:350:See all those landmarks on the map? [[http://roosterteeth.wikia.com/wiki/Let%27s_Play_Minecraft That's not even all of what these guys did.]]]]

**** They have said in subsequent "Let's Build" videos that they used a lot of clone tricks to build the original Achievement City. But still, that's a crapload of smooth stone.

* The performance of the Magenta Mooshrooms (aka Team Crazy Mad, aka Michael & Ryan) in the three-part "[[Series/LegendsOfTheHiddenTemple Legends of the Hidden Tower]]" LP. They are the only team to receive a medallion or half-medallion in each of the first eight events, winning three out of the last four outright, giving them first place leading up to the Temple Run. [[spoiler:Not only do they win, but Ryan solos the Temple Run in just under five minutes.]]

* The let's play "Mega Dig" was unbelievable. Matt, Jeremy and Lindsay built a replica of Minecraft's underground as a larger replica of past let's play "Dig Down" complete with artificial cave systems, ravines, abandoned mineshafts, dungeons and a stronghold.

* Episode 136 was suffering technical issues when being edited. Kdin, determined to get it out on time, stayed after work for several hours to re-edit, render, and upload it before leaving, because he would rather stay after work to put out a late episode than to leave the fans with none at all.

** [[spoiler: As impressive as Ray did in this LP, the greatest CMOA goes to Ryan. After the competition, Ryan returns to his house and, in an amazing TwistEnding, says hello to Edgar in his cage, '''despite the fact that Michael freed Edgar in the previous part.''' Michael can only sit for a minute and wonder what the hell just happened. It is at this point that he realizes that not only has his plan failed, but that Ryan is one hell of a MagnificentBastard because he was easily able to replace Edgar without saying a word to anyone.]] When Michael protests that it might not be the original Edgar, Ryan then states that, "[[ExactWords Edgar is the one in the hole]]", meaning no matter how many times they free Edgar, Ryan will just get a ReplacementGoldfish.

* Episode 133: Thanks to Xbox One's Minecraft having ''much'' larger maps (25 maps across!), they leave the recently walled Achievement City for the first time to explore the untamed wild beyond.

** Geoff and the build crew built four large doors that are the only way you're supposed to be able to exit Achievement City.

* When they play Battleship, Gavin frequently correctly guesses where the Gents' ships are, correctly guessing three in a row before he finally messes up. In fact, he is the only one on Team Lads to ever find any of the Gents' ships; Michael and Ray's guesses only hit ships they've located.

-->'''New King:''' I'm not gonna lie, ''[[spoiler:it's all gonna be murder]].''

* Jack, Michael, and Goeff all storm back from being down in King Gavin pt 2, to make it a ''5-way tie!'' Special mention goes to Jack who won back-to-back challenges to win his first two blocks.
