[2][4] Level Up was the second Cartoon Network show spawned from a live-action film, with the first being Out of Jimmy's Head.

After high schoolers Wyatt, Lyle, Dante and Angie unwittingly open a portal from a video game called Maldark: Conqueror of All Worlds, characters from the game and the Internet start leaking into the real world.

The group consequently finds itself balancing their everyday lives with the extraordinary things that show up in their town from the virtual world, which always resorts to using NeverFail to help send the monsters back into the game by "barding" them.

The guys set up shop in Max's warehouse and decide to throw a party that doesn't go as planned.

In a prequel to the TV series, Wyatt finds a bounty hunter trying to kill him, but no matter how hard he tries, he can't convince Lyle or Dante that it even exists.
