At  Pops' House, Rigby and (Y/n) are laying on the living room sofa, Rigby with his eyes wide open, and (Y/n) sleeping with her head on his right shoulder. Mordecai bursts through the door. "Rigby! (Y/n)!" He shouted. The couple screams and rises up. "Agh! Don't do that!" Rigby shouted. "Yeah, you scared the shit out of me!" (Y/n) shouted. Mordecai puts a box on the table. "Dude, you gotta stop sleeping with your eyes open. It's creepy." Mordecai said to Rigby. "Whatever, it's totally natu-" Rigby glances into the box. "-oh, what!? A Tonare 3500 console!? Where did you get this?" Rigby asked. "I found it in my parents' house, and look what else I found." Mordecai passes Rigby a video game. "What? Tim and Mark's Golden Badge Secret Adventure! We never got past Level 65 because we were dumb kids who didn't know how to play video games!" He said, and (Y/n) snickers.

"And now you're dumb adults that don't know how to play video games." She teased with a smirk, and the duo glare at her. "Oh yeah, very funny, (Y/n)." Rigby said sarcastically. "I bet we can beat the whole game right now." He challenged. "Plus it's Saturday, so we won't even get into trouble." Mordecai said. The trio unplug their usual console, and plug in the Tonare 3500. "Tonare!" The screen said. "So many memories." Mordecai and Rigby said, and (Y/n) giggles. "I bet." She said. Tim and Mark's Golden Badge Search Adventure" loads on the screen. "Hmph, hmph! This is only gonna take twenty minutes tops." 10 Hours Later, (Y/n), Mordecai and Rigby are still playing the game. "What's that?" (Y/n) asked.

"Dude, it's the final boss. We're gonna beat it! One...two...three!" Mordecai said. They defeat the final boss. "OOOHHHHH!!! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!" The trio said. The TV screen seems to have additional content on it. "Huh?" (Y/n) asked. An 8-bit character resembling the in-universe game designer Maury Moto walks along their screen. Mordecai gasps. "It's legendary game designer, Maury Moto!" He said. "Congratulations. You are a super player. Claim your golden badge here." Their TV screen displays an 8-bit platform-type map of a real world location. "Whoa, wait! They're real!? Golden game badges are real!?" Rigby asked. "Dude, take a picture! We gotta save the map!" Mordecai said. Rigby runs up to the TV with a camera and takes a picture. Unfortunately, the photograph is bad quality only features a portion of the map. "Oh, man! The pixels make it look all weird." Rigby said. "Maybe try again?" (Y/n) asked. Skips enters the room.

"Skips!" Rigby said. "Yeah?" He asked. "Do you know some kind of magical ritual thing we can use to bring the TV with us and keep it on?" Rigby asked. "You got a car battery?" Skips connects a car battery to the TV and taps it down to a wheeled table. "Whoa..." the trio said. "Skips! Do you have any other magic tricks that can take us to this address?" Rigby asked. "You got any gas money?" Skips takes (Y/n), Mordecai and Rigby to the actual location of the map in his van. (Y/n), Mordecai and Rigby wheel the TV away from Skips' van. "Good to go. Thanks Skips!" (Y/n) said. "Eh, I had some free time. It's a Saturday!" Skips beeps his horn and drives off. "Hmph, hmph!" The trio said. "Okay, so the map starts here.

It says we need to look for a lighthouse?"  Mordecai asked. The trio look around. "I don't see a lighthouse." Rigby said. "Wait, what about that hot dog stand?" (Y/n) asked. She, Mordecai and Rigby turn the TV towards a hot dog stand next to a lighthouse. Rigby gasps. "It totally matches!" He said. "Awesome." Mordecai said. "Then that means we have to go to...this blob here!" Rigby said. (Y/n), Mordecai and Rigby follow the distance between the lighthouse and the blob in real life. "Blob, blob, blob, blob, blob, blob, blob, blob - BLOB!" Rigby saiid. They see a mall. "The mall!" The trio said. (Y/n), Mordecai and Rigby pull out some sunglasses. "Hmph, it's time to go shopping." Mordecai said. The trio move towards the mall.

Meanwhile at the park, Benson is measuring some sprinkler heads. "Two centimeters short. Looks like I just booked a ticket to the hardware store." Benson gets in his car, and inserts the keys, but for some reason his car won't turn on. He sighs and moves towards the front of his car to check the engine. "Let's just see what the problem is and go from there." Benson opens his car up and sees that his car battery is missing, with a note attached saying "I.O.U. one car battery -
