Plot Summary
Pororo and his friends love watching the "Super Sleigh Championship." They dream of becoming champions themselves! Eddy, one of Pororo's clever friends, builds a super-fast sleigh for Pororo to drive. This special sleigh even has a lollipop that makes it go super fast!
One day, while racing their handmade sleighs, Pororo puts the special lollipop into his sleigh. This makes it fly high into the sky! The sleigh accidentally crashes into a plane. This plane is flown by Toto and Mango, who are delivering the prize for the Super Sleigh Championship. Because of the crash, Toto has to make an emergency landing.
After landing, Eddy tells Toto and Mango that he can fix their plane. This way, they can still make it to Northpiea, where the big race is held. Pororo sees Toto's medal and thinks Toto is a racing champion. Toto then lies to Pororo and his friends, saying he is a champion. Mango is not happy about Toto lying to the group.
While Eddy fixes the plane, Toto tries to teach Pororo and his friends how to be champions. He makes them run up hills and slide down slopes in buckets. During the slope training, Pororo and Crong do an amazing flip over the others. Toto is very impressed by this move!
Soon, Eddy finishes fixing the plane. Toto and Mango head to Northpiea, and Pororo and his friends secretly go along for the ride. When they land, Toto and Mango deliver the prize. They then go to a party for the racers, and Pororo and his friends also show up. Mango tries to warn Toto that the group is there, but Toto is too busy having fun.
At the party, a brown bear named Fufu arrives. He was kicked out of the race two years ago for cheating. Fufu tells everyone that he will win this year's race. He also says that only brown bears, like him, will compete in the future. Pororo then tells Fufu that Toto is a champion. But Fufu takes Toto's medal and everyone finds out that Toto is actually a delivery champion, not a racing champion. Pororo and his friends are very upset when they hear this.
After the party, Mango talks to Toto about his lies. Toto denies it, saying Pororo would forget. But he feels silly for lying about being a racing champion. The next day, the race is ready to begin. Toto and Mango are there to watch. The race starts, but Pororo's sleigh doesn't move at first. After a push from his co-pilot, he takes off, but leaves his co-pilot behind! Crong then jumps into the sleigh with Pororo.
During the race, Fufu's helpers try to mess with the other racers, but they don't succeed. Fufu cheats a lot during the race. He takes out almost all the other competitors, including the white tigers. Pororo and Crong stop to check if the white tigers are okay. The white tigers tell them they must beat Fufu.
Near the end of the race, part of the track collapses. Pororo and Fufu get stuck. Fufu gets out, but Pororo and Crong argue about what happened. Meanwhile, Toto comes to give them a lollipop to make their sleigh go fast. It works! Pororo and Crong catch up to Fufu. As Fufu tries to crash them, they do the amazing flip they learned in training. Pororo wins the race! He and his friends, along with Mango and Toto, celebrate their big win.
