Kai-Lan's Snowcoaster is the 12th episode of season 2 of Ni Hao, Kai-Lan. In this episode, Hoho is sad about Rintoo taking all of his jobs on building part of the snowcoaster.
In production order, it is the 15th episode of the second season.
Plot[]
In her new parka and pink heart earmuffs, Kai-Lan goes outside in a snow day, where she stops by the snails and ants who had built a rollercoaster made out of ice. She then catches up with Tolee, Hoho, and Rintoo, where she comes up with the idea of building a snowcoaster where everyone, including the Hula Ducks, decide to help out. Hoho wants to try to make a big snowball, but it becomes too heavy for him, where he ends up stopping and ends up having an overprotective Rintoo do it, which makes him feel bad about being unable to help and sits out in the snow.
Kai-Lan runs toward Hoho, who states that he doesn't want to help. Kai-Lan then comes up with a solution; "even if someone's smaller than you, make sure to give them something to do. Everyone likes to help!". Kai-Lan and Tolee tell Rintoo that Hoho needs something to do, where Rintoo then says sorry to Hoho about not giving him anything to do. He then tells Hoho to make the dragon horns on their snowman, where he then uses pinecones.
The Hula Ducks then start working on the tracks for the snowcoaster, where everyone helps. Hoho then comes across the ants trying to put together the snowcoaster cars, which are too heavy for the ants, where he then helps out and then push the snowcoaster into the tracks. Everyone then rides the snowcoaster through the snowmen, where they see Ye-Ye ice-skating.
Lesson Song[]

Quotes[]
Rintoo: Hoho, you’re too small. It’ll be much easier to do it myself.
Hoho: Aw. I know I’m small, but I can help.
Trivia[]
- This is the first episode that aired in 2010.
- This can be considered the sequel to The Snowiest Ride, as they both are snow-themed episodes and involve sledding.
- This is the first episode not to have the Let's Find Out Why/We Gotta Gotta Try to Find the Reason Why song, as Hoho explains his problem to Kai-Lan without having her recapping what happened.
- This is also the first time that Ye Ye has a minor role. The second time was in "Lulu's Cloud".
- This is the first time someone else (Hoho) remembers the moral and sings "I Know Just What To Do" instead of the person who learned it (Rintoo).
Remarks[]
The characters snowsuits are different than what they wore in "The Snowiest Ride" (see the episode).
Goofs/Errors[]
- A rock suddenly appears between Hoho and Rintoo on the closeup shot when Rintoo jumps down from the snowman.
- When it zooms out from the ants stating to Kai-Lan that Hoho took their jobs, Kai-Lan suddenly appears.
- The snowcoaster is first implied to have six cars, but suddenly goes down to four when it's put together.
- In each of the broadcast schedules, the title was spelled "Snowcoaster" by mistake. Here is the mistaken title: "Kai-Lan's Snowcoster"
