Saturday SupercadeOverviewVideo games were exploding in popularity in the 1980s. Characters from several of the more popular games were featured in "Saturday Supercade," a weekly cartoon series perhaps most notable for being Donkey Kong's first starring appearance in a cartoon series. The famous gorilla starred in his own segment, this time as a well-meaning but slow-witted (and sometimes easily manipulated) gorilla who had escaped the circus; his trainer, Mario, and then-girlfriend Pauline (of whom Donkey Kong had a huge crush), tried to capture the large ape. Other segments included "Donkey Kong Jr.," the famous gorilla's young son who was aided in his search by his human friend, Bones; "Frogger," about an investigative amphibious reporter for the Swamp Gazette; "Pitfall," featuring the adventures of Pitfall Harry, his pet mountain lion Quickclaw and his niece Rhonda as they traveled through the forest in search of treasure; and "Q*Bert," about the misadventures of a teen-aged orange creature. The latter two segments were shown on alternate weeks during the first season. During the show's second season, only "Donkey Kong" and "Q*Bert" returned. Two new segments included "Kangaroo," about a young mother kangaroo and her son, Joey, who were constantly harassed by a quartet of mischievous monkeys; and "Space Ace," a teen-ager who fought aliens plotting to invade EarthFirst airedSeptember 17, 1983URL slugsaturday-supercadeGenres판타지애니메이션모험아트워크포스터배경이미지 없음아이콘배너시즌스페셜에피소드 0개시즌 1Donkey Kong에피소드 19개시즌 2Donkey Kong Junior에피소드 13개시즌 3Frogger에피소드 13개시즌 4Pitfall!에피소드 7개시즌 5Q*Bert에피소드 19개시즌 6Kangaroo에피소드 13개시즌 7Space Ace에피소드 13개출연진 및 제작진출연진Alan DinehArthur BurghardtBilly BowlesBob SarlatteDavid MendenhallDick BealsFrank WelkerJim PiperJuy StrangisMarvin KaplanMea MartineauNancy CartwrightPat FraleyPeter RenadayRobbie LeeSoupy SalesSparky MarcusTed Field Sr.Tress MacNeille
