Plot[]

Look Before You Leap![]

Kai and Cole enter the "Cross the Road Quickly and Avoid Getting Run Over" level, where they meet another player with a knight avatar. He demonstrates how to play the game correctly, but soon ends up under the wheels of a giant rubber duck. The second time, he is run over by a large donut-shaped car, and the player is no longer in the game. Although Kai fears dying and losing his last life, Cole reminds him that without glasses, they can't participate in the race.

The Earth Ninja attempts to cross the road first and successfully reaches the safe zone, but then notices that the cars on the road are repeating and driving according to a specific pattern. Thanks to this, both ninjas time their jumps correctly and reach an area with a river and logs. While the heroes try to figure out the correct path across the logs, the Red Visors appear. The ninjas decide to waste no more time and jump into the river. The robots follow them, and one of them accidentally spins a log, falling into the water.

Meanwhile, the bears swimming nearby awaken and begin chasing the ninja. Kai spins and throws Cole, allowing the black ninja to fly right over the bears, avoiding danger. Kai then leaps over the heads of the wild animals. While the bears are distracted by the Red Visors, the ninja continue on and encounter a shark. The heroes allow the shark to swallow them, then explode it from the inside. The explosion sends them flying toward the end of the level.

A Friend in Need[]

Lloyd enters the Triple Attack game to earn points and encounters unusual aliens attacking from above. Hiding from laser attacks under a large mushroom, the Green Ninja encounters Okino. The samurai explains that he had been following his own path, but since they've met, he'll help the hero. Okino gives Lloyd a returning shuriken, and together they defeat several aliens with a well-aimed throw.

More powerful enemies begin to appear, and one of them eats Lloyd's weapon. Okino gives him his shuriken and fights back using the mushrooms growing nearby. After defeating the aliens, Okino warns his comrade that two more attacks await. Immediately after, several rats appear on a flying platform. They drop numerous beach balls on the heroes, and Lloyd and Okino begin to evade this new threat. The samurai figures out that the balls can be cut with katanas, making the game easier.

The Rat Brotherhood then unleashes a giant snake against the warriors. Okino says they must stop the enemies, otherwise the level will never end, and suggests Lloyd distract the snake while he deals with the rats. Together, they cut the beast apart, but both halves come to life. Lloyd tries throwing a shuriken, and eventually the snakes become three. The heroes manage to bring the snakes back together and then lure the enemy directly to the rats. When the snake collides with the rats' platform, the game ends. Lloyd thanks Okino, and then they part ways.

House of Horrors![]

Jay and Nya arrive at the House of Horrors. Jay dislikes the building's appearance, but Nya persuades him to go inside. When the heroes decide to quickly check the lower floor, all the doors suddenly open, forcing the pair to go upstairs. Along the way, Jay is grabbed by a vampire, and the ninja barely manages to evade the monster's attack. Both heroes escape their pursuer and find a door at the end of the hallway. They pass through it and find themselves in a desert with pyramids, where they are immediately attacked by hundreds of mummies and scorpions.

The heroes fight the unexpected enemies and try to figure out how to escape them. After a while, a door opens in the pyramid, and the ninja run towards it without thinking. After passing through the new door, the heroes find themselves in an upside-down corridor. An ominous voice declares that the players will be trapped in the house forever, then unleashes a horde of monsters upon them: zombies, swamp monsters, werewolves, witches, ghosts, and even Frankenstein's monster.

As the hallway continues to spin, the heroes fight off the advancing enemies and reach another door at the end. Upon entering, they encounter the vampire again. When the vampire attempts to bite Jay, Nya manages to pull her partner away, and the enraged monster transforms into a large bat. Jay grabs the bat and throws it into one of the holes in the hallway floor, then takes Nya by the hand and runs out of the house with her. After they leave, the house begins to crumble, and the ninja rejoice in their victory and wonder how everyone else is doing.
