"Weinerman Up" is the twentieth episode of the first season of Randy Cunningham: 9th Grade Ninja. It premiered on March 18, 2013.
==Synopsis==
When Randy and Howard's video game battle gets out of hand, the Ninja must save the town from a giant robot created by Viceroy.
==Plot==
The episode starts at Greg's Game Hole where Howard is trying his best to beat Randy's high score. Randy taunts Howard multiple times, but Howard manages to hold his own, until he gets zombified in the game. As Randy shows his hall of fame, getting first place in almost every game, Greg shows them a new game. Randy and Howard quickly challenge each other to see who can get the prize of first place, unknown to them that it is a trap set up by Viceroy and McFist.
Randy tricks Howard in order to play first in the game. Unknowingly, Randy releases Jack Hammer, a giant robot. The game is instead real life and Randy is tricked into destroying part of Norrisville, thinking it was part of the game. After Randy runs off after hearing about a giant robot attacking the city, Howard takes control of Jack. Randy then runs into the Jack in real life, causing him to realize that it was a trap. Randy attempts to call Howard, but Howard brushes off his pleas to stop, thinking it was another trick to get him to lose. Randy then is beaten down by the Robot and eaten by it. Jack Hammer started using the jackhammer that is just unlocked. In the stomach, the walls start to close in on him.
On the verge of being crushed, Randy consults the NinjaNomicon for help. After receiving help, he exits through the "back door", which causes Jack Hammer to eject him out. Randy escapes and attempts to call Howard again. Howard claims that he was 2000 points from beating Randy. Remembering the Nomicon's lesson to let the enemy win, he taunts Howard to hit him. After being knocked into the school, bouncing off multiple lockers, and have a rock fall on his foot, Randy finally convinces Howard to stop and make Jack jump off a cliff, much to the disappointment of McFist and Viceroy after Howard wins him.
Randy meets Howard again in which Howard brags on how good he is, finally having his name in first place. Randy dismisses the idea, claiming that he let him win and points out his eyes were closed in the Hall of Fame picture. The episode ends with Randy and Howard doing an arcade game together, challenging each other.

==Trivia==
*The title is a reference to video gaming phrase "level up."
*Randy is shown to be very skilled in games, winning first place in every game, with the only exception of Jack Hammer, which Randy lets Howard win.
*This is the first time the robot Viceroy creates isn't controlled by him.
*Randy was struck twice by Jack's sledge hammer, which has been shown to be able to cause extensive damage, but retained only minor damage to Randy's body which is a testament to The Ninja Suit's durability.
*This is the first time Howard turns against Randy, but it was unintentional. Although he does mention that he really wanted to kick the virtual Ninja's butt because Randy had been messing with him constantly, Randy was being honest, which Howard didn't believe.
*This is one of the episodes in the series where they used the soundtrack "The Entertainer". (In this case, the soundtrack was sped up and used in the scene where McFist and Viceroy were hugging after the saw the "Ninja Consumed" sign on the hovercraft)
*This marks the first time Howard cries.
