Cave Spider Roller Coaster is the 14th episode of the Animation vs. Minecraft Shorts series, being the 14th and final installment of Season 1.
Synopsis[]
It's like the Roller Coaster Episode except with spiders.
Plot[]
With the group reunited after the events of The Dolphin Kingdom, The Second Coming and the Fighting Stick Figures must find their way out of a complex hollow network of a mineshaft, in order to reach a portal back home. Blue, Yellow and Green hear echoing noises throughout the gallery, they notice that The Second Coming and Red had vanished. Surprised, they look around in fear, as one of the cave spiders grab Yellow and take him.
Following the creature, Blue and Green stumble upon a mob of spiders, feeding their queen. Green baits the spiders with his fishing rod, whilst Blue hurries over to his unconscious comrades and tries to shake them awake, only to discover that they had all been poisoned, and their health was half gone. Blue gives them each a drink of milk from a bucket, and they all wake up with a kick, Blue grabs Yellow and they run away back down the tunnel they had entered by. Just then Green jumps down from the wall, rolls, them jumps up and follows his comrades.
To escape the army of spiders, they must all ride in a single mining cart, and it was a good thing they were all skinny stick figures, or else all five of them never would have fitted in there. However, the arthropods kept chasing after them, riding more carts. With much struggle despairing spiders away, the stick figures fall down due to an obstructed portion of the railway. They escape such a fate by being carried by spawned chickens, reaching a platform and a portal present in it. A unit, however, informs the Queen, who immediately runs in an attempt to stop the sticks and consume them.
The queen spider reaches the fugitives, who barely escape the dimension. The Queen confronts and defeats all of the Fighting Stick Figures. Moments before killing The Second Coming, it is distracted by a random wither, which fights the Queen, whose fate is unknown. Upon arrival in the Nether, Second Coming pulls the four back to consciousness, and cross the place back to the portal which leads them to the desktop. The group destroys the portal and settle home peacefully.

Errors[]
- At timestamp 0:58, some spiders disappeared when the background spiders turn to look at Green.

- At timestamp 1:54, The Second Coming got his crafting table out of nowhere.
- At timestamp 3:06, the hearts and hunger bars vanish even though as shown earlier in the episode, and from the other ones they have the hearts and hunger bars.

- At timestamp 4:25, eleven minecarts land on the rails, though eight fell down earlier, but originally was only six.
