The film begins with Sam Brenner playing the [[Donkey Kong (game)|original ''Donkey Kong'' game]] and losing a championship match to Eddie Plant ({{wp|Peter Dinklage}}), who uses a [[cheat code]] (despite the fact that the actual game does not feature cheat codes and doing so would be counter-productive for an arcade game). ''Donkey Kong'' haunts Brenner as "the one game he sucks at".

Later in the film, an alien that has taken a form based on [[Mario]]'s sprite from ''Donkey Kong'' can be seen running and jumping across a street, although none of the main characters are seen interacting with him.

The film's climax has the cast face the leader of the aliens, who has taken a form based on [[Donkey Kong]] and is on a re-creation of [[25m]], with captives on the same platform [[Pauline]] is held captive on in ''Donkey Kong''. As Donkey Kong attacks the group, Brenner has a breakdown when he cannot figure out Donkey Kong's pattern and his insecurity over not being able to win the game gets to him. One of the captives, Matty van Patten ({{wp|Matt Lintz}}), then reveals that Plant cheated, giving Brenner the confidence he needs to get to the top and defeat Donkey Kong using a [[hammer]].
