During the first part of the episode, Gonzo pretends to be "Super Bario Weirdo" in a ''Donkey Kong''-style game, which has a dragon named King Copacabana in place of Cranky Kong throwing green balls in place of barrels. He then imagines himself in an area similar to the game's third level, where he hops across moving platforms to reach a cupcake. Gonzo then finds himself back in the first level, where Piggy has taken the place of the King Copacabana, although she's actually just disconnected the system in reality. | ||
Piggy then attempts to play ''Donkey Kong Jr.'', but fails miserably. Going back to the original ''Donkey Kong'', Piggy pretends to be a "Baby Mutant Ninja Piggy", tells Mario to get off the stage by scaring him off, climbs up to King Copacabana and defeats him. | Piggy then attempts to play ''Donkey Kong Jr.'', but fails miserably.

In "Chuck to the Future Part 4", Chuck navigates a ''Super Mario Bros.''-style world. The short starts with Chuck, who is inside a video game for the NES. On his first life, Chuck comes across two enemies, which resemble a [[Goomba]] and a [[Piranha Plant]], but they kill him. On his second life, he eats a [[Super Mushroom]]-like power up and gains 1000 points, but he soon falls off a cliff, killing him. On his third life, he eats the power up again, tries getting inside a pipe without any luck and falls off the cliff once more, ending in a game over. Once in a new game, Chuck gets past the cliff and eats a weed power up, which makes him able to shoot fireballs, which could be a reference to the [[Fire Flower]]. He gets inside a pipe and grabs some coins. Back to the surface, he encounters Fastener, and steps on him several times, gaining a few points and 1-Ups, which is a reference to the [[List of Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels glitches#Infinite 1-Ups with Koopa|Infinite 1-Up glitch with Koopa]]. Soon after, he reaches the church and completes the first level of the game. At the very end of the short, there is a sign that says "To Be Continued CTTF Part 5". Part 5 of the "Chuck to the Future" series was released as an image on May 27th, 2011 on the Gainax website's front page.

In this animated short, Mario confronts Bowser on a bridge over lava in his castle à la ''Super Mario Bros.'' After leaping over Bowser, Mario removes the axe, causing the Koopa King to plunge into the lava, and he runs over to where Princess Toadstool is waiting. The Princess thanks Mario for rescuing her, but rejects his offer for a kiss, as they just met, and that she doesn't want to make out with him. Mario explains that he merely wants a kiss as opposed to sex, and questions the Princess as to what he went through to reach her. The Princess concludes that Mario merely leapt a bunch of mushrooms (Goombas), and Mario argues that she was pathetic enough to get kidnapped by mushrooms in the first place. After Mario bickers about more aspects of his adventure, the Princess still refuses to kiss him. Mario then calls for Bowser (whom he refers to as "Dragon") to keep the Princess. Upon hearing this, Bowser leaps out from the lava, grabs the Princess and bites her head off. | ||
