"Guardians of Sunshine" is the sixteenth episode of the second season of the American animated television series Adventure Time. The episode was written and storyboarded by Ako Castuera and Tom Herpich, from a story by Mark Banker, Steve Little, Patrick McHale, Kent Osborne, Thurop van Orman, Pendleton Ward, and Merriwether Williams. It originally aired on February 21, 2011.
The series follows the adventures of Finn (voiced by Jeremy Shada), a human boy, and his best friend and adoptive brother Jake (voiced by John DiMaggio), a dog with magical powers to change shape and grow and shrink at will. In this episode, Finn and Jake must defeat the three bosses of a video game they are transported to from inside BMO.
"Guardians of the Sunshine" was the first episode of Adventure Time to feature three-dimensional animation. The scenes set inside the titular computer game were animated by CalArts graduate Ke Jiang. The episode was met with mostly positive critical reception, and was seen by 1.73 million viewers.
Finn and Jake are playing the Side-scrolling video game Guardians of the Sunshine, and Finn attempts to use a combo move to beat the final boss (a toad named "Sleepy Sam"). He, however, fails and angrily remarks that if he were actually in the game, he could easily beat Sleepy Sam. But BMO explains that actually being in the game is extremely dangerous. However, BMO's warning goes unheeded, and Finn and Jake eventually decide to trick BMO into transporting them into its "Main brain game-frame", which allows them to be realized as characters in Guardians of Sunshine.
