In the cafeteria, Donkey Kong | In the cafeteria, Donkey Kong cannot wait to be fed; Mario and Pauline, disguised as chefs, overload him with food and send him on a cart, intending to trap him in a stew pot. Donkey Kong, however, is able to realize what is happening, and uses a pillar to turn around, ramming Mario instead. Mario gives chase, even managing to catch the plates that Donkey Kong throws, but then Donkey Kong throws a turkey, directly knocking Mario into the stew pot. | ||

Mario attempts to lasso him, but Donkey Kong manages to drag him along. Even Pauline's assistance does not stop Donkey Kong from escaping along with the two escapees. They use the goal post as a catapult to fling themselves up and over the wall. | ||
Later, Donkey Kong and the two escaping prisoners hide on the top floor of a building, attempting to avoid spotlights. They are eventually caught and told to surrender, but the escapees refuse, so long as they have Donkey Kong with them. Mario and Pauline manage to convince Donkey Kong that they are prisoners, not health instructors, as he had previously believed. Angry that they had lied to him, Donkey Kong chases them to a ladder, then pulls out the ladder and bends it into a dual cage. He then throws it into the prison truck. | Later, Donkey Kong and the two escaping prisoners hide on the top floor of a building, attempting to avoid spotlights.
