"Kangaroo" by Totally the Real and Not Fake Benchen71

Can you storm the castle by getting across the MOAT? A weekly meta crossword constructed by forum member Ben (aka benchen71). These metas range from relatively easy to more challenging, depending on how many Australianisms he puts in them! Puzzles are posted in a new thread every Tuesday, with nudges appearing on Saturdays, and the solution coming out on Mondays. (At least, that's the plan. Given he lives in Australia, and they are so far ahead of the US time-zone-wise, things may get posted early!)

Thanks, Josh. Loved the idea, and the puzzle, too. Maybe we'll have to do it again sometime!
Check out "The MOAT MEOW Mashup Pack" here. US$10 for 14 metas that don't always abide by the "rules" of the game: asymmetry, 2-letter words, uncrossed letters, who knows. And this time there's a mega-meta! :shock:

There was a long chain of clues which referenced other entries in the grid. If you hopped like a kangaroo along the chain of referenced entries you spell out JUMP (by) VAN HALEN, which is the answer.

Thanks to the "Real" Ben for playing along and hope you guys enjoyed the little switcha-(kanga)roo

(I don't remember the potato shaped like a duck but I do remember the closet full of walnuts).
Yes! The Danny Thomas episode...
