Plot Outline: When an avid gamer finds himself transported inside Super Mario Bros, he needs to put sibling rivalry aside and ask his little sister for help.
Plot: All Becky ever wanted was a chance to play Super Mario Bros. with her brother Adam, but he was always too busy trying to jump the flagpole at the end of the levels. However, when he finally succeeds and finds himself trapped inside the game, he needs Becky to get him out. Because she lacks the necessary skill, Becky seeks the help of the local Nintendo guru Lucas Burrows, convincing him of the fame and glory that await. Lucas agrees, but soon finds himself tempted with a chance to gain the all-time highest score. Now Becky must find a way to convince Lucas that her brothers life is more valuable than the notoriety that a high score would bring.

Trivia: There are 3 entries in the trivia list - like these:
- The character of Lucas Burrows was based off of Alex Lambs friend Matt Burrows. Matt was originally supposed to play the part, but Jim Cathcart blew the producers away in the auditions and consequently won the part. Matt Burrows does make an appearance however in the opening sequence.
- In the script, Lucas had the line, "If you keep trying to mess me up, your brother will die, and Ill lose the score," but Matt Burrows, being the REAL Lucas, insisted that Alex Lamb change it to, "If you keep trying to mess me up, Ill lose the score, AND hell die," because he knew that Lucas would put his score before a little kids life.
- Lucas states that Cliff Bleszinski got the highest Super Mario Bros. score when he reached 9,999,950 points in 1986. This was a true fact that was listed in the premiere issue of Nintendo Power. However, there were many other names listed as receiving the same score; Alex Lamb just liked his name the best. In real life, Cliff Bleszinski grew up to become a high-profile employee of Epic Games and titled himself CliffyB.
