After Spankey drives the children to the tournament, Jimmy enters and becomes a finalist after playing "Ninja Gaiden". In between rounds, Putnam makes another unsuccessful attempt to apprehend the children. Jimmy, Lucas, and a third finalist compete in the tournament's final round – they have 10 minutes to score as many points as they can in "Super Mario Bros. 3", a brand-new game not yet released in the United States. Cheered on by his family, Haley, and even Putnam, Jimmy wins the tournament at the last second and earns the prize money.
