Used when a person has segued from one topic to another, seemingly unrelated topic, though a mental leap of which only that person is aware. A reference to the
1981 video game
Donkey Kong, where Mario can only
jump down to a platform that is one 'level' below him; if he falls too far, he dies.
A: Have you seen the new
370Z?
B: Yeah,
I dunno, it looks a little
edgy.
C: I learned it by watching you!
A: Wait, what?
B: Yeah, I think you just jumped two levels and died.
