Story
The story is not very clear but it is stated by the Elder Tomato that Theo must go on a journey to get the fruit medallions in order to save Simple Flip Island.

Gameplay
The game plays like a 3D platformer that takes movement and control from games like Super Mario 64 and Super Mario Odyssey.

History
In the show it is the game that Belle was speedrunning as Tari then decided to play the game. Over time Tari then warps into the game where she meets with Theo as she goes through the island with him. At one point of gameplay Tari was forced out of the game and so was Theo as she runs away from Lucks as she meets up with MD-5. She then tries to put Theo into a UJM cartridge but the game rejects Theo thus leaving Tari and MD-5 to have to get the cartridge back from Lucks. However the plan fails as Lucks crushes the cartridge and keeps Theo hostage there.
In Season 2 the cartridge has been rebuilt but it was in a glitchy state. Theo was punished for getting out of the containment server and the game tormented him with glitchiness and more. Until it was time for the Hidden Heroes showmatch Belle once again takes control of Theo to go through the game. Theo only makes it to the last level until Belle gets captured and Tari drops in to help Theo. The game returns to normal after Tari and Theo beat the game itself.

Trivia* The World seems to be divided into levels.
* The name 'Simple flip Island' is a reference to Twitch streamer Simpleflips, who is close friends with Luke and Kevin.
* It was suggested a game or webseries titled 'Ultra Jump Mania' might be released in September 2020, shown in a timeline shown during the end of 'War Of The Fat Italians 2020'. It was later suggested in a YouTube community post this would be a web series, and it would debut on September 4, 2020 in the form of a pilot episode.
* Oddly, the game doesn't seem to have a final boss dungeon at the end of the game despite having a boss on the first level.
* The game menu screen is apparently different from how it is portrayed in Season 1 and how the Ultra Jump Mania Pilot does it as in Season 1 there is a Time Trial and Battle Mode options for the game but in the Ultra Jump Mania Pilot there is only New Game and the Continue options.
* Facepalms are likely based off of Goombas from the Mario games, as they are both brown, have fangs (except Facepalms only have one fang), and are common enemies throughout the game whose main method of attack is to chase the first player that comes within a certain radius.
* According to Meta Runner Voice Actors Reads Memes video, David J.G. Doyle, the voice actor of Lucks, also voices Facepalms.
