  • While he does still have a few comedic moments here and there, Swiper is much more menacing here, given he's much slyer and working with ruthless mercenaries. To make it even more threatening he completely ignores the classic "Swiper, No Swiping!" cliche.
  • There's this mysterious old woman who the gang encounter. What's disturbing is she doesn't utter any words other than grunts, making it rather hard to tell whether she's a friend or a foe. She later turns out to be a good guy and the guardian of the golden statue.

Then Alejandro completely submerges... Luckily, it turns out the quicksand was only above a small pit so he falls through the hole and safely on the ground.
