jumped two levels and died

Used when a person has segued from one topic to another, seemingly unrelated topic, though a mental leap of which only that person is aware. A reference to the 1981 video game Donkey Kong, where Mario can only jump down to a platform that is one 'level' below him; if he falls too far, he dies.

A: Have you seen the new 370Z?
B: Yeah, I dunno, it looks a little edgy.
C: I learned it by watching you!
A: Wait, what?
B: Yeah, I think you just jumped two levels and died.
