Pat Sequence

The Pat Sequence is a section from the series' episodes that happen before the team blasts off. Leo buckles his seatbelt with the rest of the team and then pats with the team to power up Rocket. After showing that June, Quincy, and Annie are patting, Leo then says he needs more power, so he has the viewers (kids) watching the show to put their hands on their laps and pat along with him to the beat. Then after that, they pat faster and Rocket is powering up to blast off!! After that he tells the viewer to raise their arms as high as they can and say "Blast Off!".

Facts
In season 1 of the show, there is a second short version of the Pat Sequence. After buckling seatbelts, The team pat 8 times. There is no "June is patting... Quincy is patting... Annie is patting..." section and cuts to the Blastoff. Instead of "Now raise your arms as high as you can, and say "Blast off!"" Leo says "Now raise BOTH arms, and say "Blast off!"". There is only one season 1 episode where both Pat Sequences were the short version, which is "The Good Knight and the Bad Knight".

In the 2nd season, the Sequence is shorted a tiny bit. After buckling seatbelts and patting, the sequence immediately skips to the "Faster!" part. The "June is patting... Quincy is patting... Annie is patting..." section and the "But we need more power!" section is cut. Leo also has his lines re-voiced, keeping the "Blastoff!" lines intact.

There were some instances where during the "Now raise your arms as high as you can" part, Leo raises his hands up slightly during the first half, and all the way during the "as high as you can" part, instead of patting four times then raising up his hands. The episodes that feature this are "Hungarian Hiccups", "The Northern Night Light", "A Galactic Goodnight", "A Brand New Outfit", and "The Missing Invitation". This variant is called the "Pilot" variant because it's first appearance was during the Pilot, "Our Huge Adventure".

The episodes "Knock On Wood" and "The Birthday Machine" have the "Now raise your arms as high as you can, and say "Blast off!"" line instead of the proper line during the Short version of the Pat Sequence.

There were some episodes where the "June is patting... Quincy is patting... Annie is patting..." section was extended to fit the character of the day. In "The Mouse And The Moon" Leo says "Little Mouse is patting his paws!" as Little Mouse is patting, in "O Yes, O Yes, It's Springtime!", Leo says "Baby Tulip's patting!" as Baby Tulip is patting, and in "Duck, Duck, June", Leo says "Ducky's patting! Good following, Ducky." as the baby duckling is patting.

There were some instances in some episodes of Season 2 where instead of using Season 2's Pat Sequence, Season 1's Pat Sequence was used instead. The episodes that feature this are "The Wild Goose Chase", "Build It, Rocket!", and "Go Team!".

During the pilot episode's second Pat Sequence, there is a shot of the whole team patting. They were used in "Our Huge Adventure", "Ring Around the Planet", "The Mouse and the Moon" and "The Incredible Shrinking Adventure".

A "submarine" variant of the Pat Sequence was used in "The Great Sky Race Rematch". Instead of saying "Pat" during patting, Leo says "Splash". This also changed the lines: Leo says "Put your hands on your lap, and say "Splash!"" instead of "Put your hands on your lap, and pat with us!" It also was the only variant to re-voice the "Faster!" and "Now raise your arms as high as you can, and say "Blast off!"" lines.

Also a "roller coaster" variant was used in "The Great Schubert's Guessing Game", where they pat up the rollercoaster and blast off before the drop and launch.

And a "Pianissimo" variant of the Pat Sequence was used in the end of "A Galactic Goodnight". Leo says that he and his team must be very quiet to go home, so that they don't want to wake Rocket up. Then, he said in whisper "We're Going to need a lot of power to blast off!". And he also says "Put your hands on your lap and pat the beat Pianissimo!". And once the team has finished patting softly, Leo says "Now raise your arms and whisper Blast Off!" along with the team and they head back to Earth.

Errors

 * For some episodes of Season 1 and Season 2, the team are using their seatbelts buckled, but Rocket's Speaker is absent and in "Melody, the Music Pet", Rocket's Speaker is now 3D instead of 2D.
 * In "A Brand New Outfit's" Pat Sequence, there were some errors. During the part where Leo says "Put your hands on your laps and pat with us!", he doesn't smile, remaining in his frowning mood, and when they say "Blast Off!" all of their seatbelts are unbuckled, and Rocket's dome is strangely hot pink and without a texture instead of blue.
 * In "The Missing Invitation", a couple errors could be seen as well. After when the team buckle their seatbelts, during the "Seatbelts buckled!" part, Leo has his seatbelt unbuckled somehow, and Butterfly strangely has a seat! During the Pat Sequence, at "June is patting..." the camera is shifted slightly to the right, making June appear on the left of the screen instead of center and next to Rocket's controls. During the "Faster!" part, Leo is seen smiling instead of frowning, and Rocket was in a different area of the location instead of under the tree! When they say "Blast Off!", however, Butterfly is not there! Also, Leo's timing is way off, making him not say it in sync with the others, and Annie's seatbelt buckle is gone, leaving only the straps visible!
 * In "The Wild Goose Chase", Annie has a pair of purple and pink converse styled shoes to buckle her seatbelt and raise her arms high instead of her blue shoes and white socks!
 * And in "The Puppet Princess", after the Little Einsteins do the Blast Off Sequence, we can clearly see that Annie's sleeve is green instead of light blue. Annie's green sleeve was used in Season 1.
