Mona and Antoine get some exercise

Likely inspired by the game used to present the task brief to them at the start – specifically, the Antoine gorilla boss – Mona recreates the original Donkey Kong arcade game, casting Antoine as Donkey Kong, complete with a massive red tie.

Antoine stands near the top of the ski slope near the Le Maître du Jeu house, with several barrels and yoga balls, and with his captive Pauline played by an easel, a pool noodle, a mannequin head, a wig, and a dress.

Partway down the hill, Mona – dressed in a red jumpsuit and red wig – identifies herself (“It’s-a me, Mario!”), and starts to dodge the barrels Antoine rolls down the hill while darting between wooden pallets (representing the girders in the original game) on her way up the hill.

When Antoine switches to rolling yoga balls down the hill, Mona actually kicks one back at him in a counterattack.

At the top of the hill, Mona picks up an oversized mallet (a power up in the original game) and uses it to defeat Antoine, stating “otherwise this will turn into a porno” [note: there is, of course, actually a Super Mario porno...] before rescuing Pauline.

Louis awards Mona joint second place.
