Act I - Epic Comedy Adventure
The annual Mix Festival is here; a day to celebrate the power of the Cubits. However, due to a certain hamlogna sandwich-loving Electroid, all of the hamlogna sandwiches are eaten, leaving the other Electroids angry with him. Due to this, Teslo asks all of the leaders of their respective tribes to come with him to get more (save for Jawg, Gobba goes in his place).

At the same time, Major Nixel appears in a metal cloud floating above and lets loose his devastating new weapon - the Mega Nixel Mixel Nixer - onto the festival, making every other Mixel at the party become a zombie-like Nixel. With all of their Cubits destroyed, it's up to the leaders, who come back to witness the chaos, to save their friends and Mixel Land. Gobba has a Cubit, but Flain says to save it for another time. Krader says that the only way to find more is to go to Mixel Mountain for the Rainbow Cubits. So, they all head there. Gobba ends up using and wasting his Cubit with Kraw, but everyone finally reaches the top of the mountain and hit the giant Rainbow Cubit, letting tons more loose.

Meanwhile, Major Nixel is baking cupcakes. However, the tribe leaders come back mixed, and defeat him, saving the festival and their friends in the process. The leaders of the Series 3 tribes finally show up, marking their debut in the series.

Act II - Murp Romp
The Glorp Corp and the Spikels are enjoying a day at Mixel Park. Torts admires how cute Scorpi is, and the latter then grows afraid of Glurt’s enthusiasm. The Spikels head off. Glomp disperses a Glorp Corp/Spikel Cubit from his nose and throws it for Glurt to fetch, with the others running after him. Meanwhile, Flain, Lunk, Chomly and Zaptor are enjoying a picnic, with Zaptor commenting on the calmness. They are suddenly interrupted by a puff of magic. The Wiztastics appear to advertise their next show, which Magnifo promises that won’t be like the last one (which ended up with him being burnt to ashes). The Spikels come to see what is happening, and when the Wiztastics teleport away (out of embarrassment from Magnifo), they scare Scorpi again, causing him to run away and accidentally crash into the Cubit that Glurt is carrying. This causes them to Murp, and they run off, coating the other parkgoers in slime. Both tribes that the Murp belongs to end up chasing it (with some complications) all the way to the aforementioned magic show. They find it on the rafters above the stage, where they then find Mesmo, and Torts mixes with him to get to the murp. While they accomplish this, Magnifo does a trick that blasts magic energy out of his hat and to the roof. This destroys the rafters and causes all of the Mixels to fall down, who then de-mix and are arranged in an upside-down pyramid pose. After that, Vulk claps and is revealed to be the only one who attended the show (and enjoyed it). This overjoys Magnifo, who gets crushed by the other Mixels at the end.

International airings

Trivia

 * Mixel Mountain, Mixel Park, the Spiky Desert, and the Magic Tent are introduced. The Swamplands have yet to be introduced, however.
 * Every Mixel from Series 3 debuted in this episode, in contrast to Coconapple (for Series 1) and Wrong Colors (for Series 2).
 * This episode contains the most character appearances to date, with all nine original tribes including Major Nixel and his Nixels.
 * This is the first episode where rainbow cubits are seen. It is revealed that the rainbow cubits' basically have the same power of any other cubit, but can mix any two Mixels no matter what the tribes. The Mixes created by the Rainbow Cubits are between Series 1 and Series 2 tribes that do not have Cubits that have made physical appearances in the show.
 * There were multiple Mixes and Murps that appeared. They were Hoogi and Glomp, Footi and Mesmo with Torts, Krader with Kraw, Flain with Gobba and Teslo, Teslo and Flurr, and Scorpi and Glurt.
 * This episode marks the first time tribal leadership is mentioned in the show.
 * For one reason or another, the Electroids do not shock themselves in this episode.
 * This is the first time Kraw speaks without being part of a Mix or talking in unison with another Mixel.
 * This is the first time Major Nixel is referred to by name in the television series.
 * This is the first time Tentro uses his smaller black tentacles as arms, rather than his orange ones.
 * Krader's vision of what Mixel Mountain looks like uses colored outlines, in contrast to the standard black ones.
 * Teslo's fear of heights, first mentioned in his website biography, is shown in the series for the first time.
 * Some items in Calling All Mixels (such as the Nixel Cupcakes and the giant rainbow cubits) appear. It also shares other elements from Calling All Mixels, such as general plot points and reused animation from the introduction videos.
 * When the Torts/Mesmo Mix 2 chases after the Scorpi/Glurt Murp, the rafters are CGI-animated.
 * This is the first time that a human photo was shown (the foot when Hoogi and Glomp Mix).
 * The Cragsters are the only tribe without any members appearing in Murp Romp.
 * The bumper in-between "Nixel Mix-Over" and "Murp Romp" includes a bunch of the Mixels logo falling on top of each other. This bumper originated from the beginning of some of the stop-motion videos from LEGO.
 * Vulk being the DJ at the festival may be a reference to his appearance with headphones, a rainbow cubit, and the Cartoon Network Studios' logo at the end of airings of the shorts in several countries, and at the end of this episode after the credits.
 * On September 3, 2014, both Epic Comedy Adventure and Murp Romp became available to watch from the website.
 * Strangely, in the Brazillian Portuguese version, most of the voices in the intro are dubbed, but the Series 3 tribes aren't.

Broadcast
This episode aired on August 31, 2014 directly following the Cartoon Network premiere of Alex Rider: Operation Stormbreaker. It is unknown how many viewers this episode garnered.

Continuity

 * This is the second time there is a full intro. ("Coconapple")
 * This is the third time there is a party. ("Murp", "Elevator")
 * Hamlogna Sandwiches make an appearance again. ("Changing a Lightbulb", "Wrong Colors", "Hamlogna Conveyer Belt Madness")
 * It makes sense for Volectro and Shuff to call out Zaptor's actions due to the events of Wrong Colors.
 * The Gobba/Kraw hula dancer Mix appears again. ("Vaudeville Fun")
 * This is the fourth appearance (third in person) of Major Nixel. ("Another Nixel", "Wrong Colors" as a sculpture, "Nixel "Mix Over"")
 * This is the second time a single Nixel has had to catch up to the rest of the swarm. ("Wrong Colors")
 * Fourth time a Mixel is burnt. ("Hot Lava Shower", "Murp", "Rockball")
 * This is the fifth appearance of a Murp, and the third that isn't of Flain and Krader's. ("Murp", "Snow Half-Pipe", "Fang Gang Log Toss", "High Five")
 * Teslo wears his exercise clothes again. ("Hot Lava Shower")

Errors

 * When Teslo asks for the leaders of the tribes to come with him, Gobba goes. However, in his LEGO Mixels website bio, Jawg is referred to as the leader of the Fang Gang. This could imply that Cartoon Network made an incorrect statement about Gobba being the leader.
 * Even though Kraw spoke, he is not listed in the end credits as one of the cast.
 * When Krader glares at Zaptor, the gold triangular part on his back is placed in the center of his face like a nose.
 * When the leaders were running from the Nixels before they hid in the cave, Krader's big arm was on the wrong side. The same error occurred in Bar B Cubes and Elevator.
 * When the gang set off to get hamlogna sandwiches, Lunk's spikes from his neck disappear.
 * In the scene where the leaders leave to get Hamlogna sandwiches, Flain's fire hair isn't moving.
 * When Volectro is standing on the picnic table and waving his arms around, one of his electric fingernails is missing.
 * When the leaders reach the top of Mixel Mountain, Kraw is missing his legs.
 * Before the nixed Mixels get turned back into regular Mixels, Shuff is missing a tooth. It blinks back into his mouth when he regains his color.
 * After Major Nixel trips, his badge is on the left side of his chest, instead of on the right.
 * When Zaptor is eating hamlogna sandwiches, there are two plates. When the Mixels get their color back, there is only one plate on the table.
 * One of the plates also disappears when Teslo stands on the table.
 * Flurr's name is misspelled as "Flur" in the credits.
 * When Teslo is charging towards Major Nixel after the other Mixels are zombified, he is missing the dark yellow triangle on his jaw.
 * When the view is through the periscope lens, Balk flashes out of screen and blinks back a bit further from the DJ booth.
 * When Flurr is looking out of the cave mouth, his mouth is closed, yet his buck teeth are sticking out of it.
 * YouTube and the LEGO website refer to Murp Romp as "Murp Rump."
 * When Major Nixel starts thanking the Nixels, the Nixel crowd on the right of Major Nixel has one Nixel's foot clip through another's head.
 * When the big rainbow cubit explodes and Nixels fly everywhere, two Nixels are very large compared to the others.
 * When the Mixels are being zombified, Jawg and Volectro act zombified before the grey mist reaches them.
 * When Vulk is saying bye to the leaders, the red triangles on his hands disappear.
 * When the grey mist is covering the Mixels, Vulk is still at the DJ booth and is already zombified, but he still looks happy.
 * When the Mixels are mad at Zaptor, the black coloring under Kraw's mouth is gone.
 * When the leaders (except Jawg) and Gobba go back with the hamlogna sandwiches and see the nixified Mix-Festival, Kraw's teeth are not in the right place.
 * When the leaders (except Jawg) and Gobba run to attack Major Nixel, Kraw's black part under his mouth is gone.
 * During the picnic in Mixel Park, the Mixels who are sitting down are somewhat hovering above the ground, despite being in sitting positions.
 * While Footi, Torts, Glomp and Hoogi go on the rafters above the stage, Glomp's slime is not coming from his nose.
 * When Major Nixel looks out of his periscope, it is from a top view, but Vulk's DJ booth is incorrectly angled from a front view.
 * Flurr's smile briefly blinks out and reappears for a few frames of his frown.
 * When Torts screamed "Glurt!", he spoke with Glomp's voice.
 * When all the leaders (except Gobba) look at the giant Rainbow Cubit, Flurr's wings stop while still flying in the air.

Allusions

 * Space Invaders - The alien that zaps Torts and Footi during their Mix resembles the alien from Space Invaders.
 * Monty Python's Flying Circus - The giant live-action cutout of a bare foot that stomps on Glomp and Hoogi during their Mix is a reference to the titles of Monty Python's Flying Circus.
