A gang of "trucknappers" appear in the Saturday Supercade episode "Trucknapper Caper." They are infamous Texan truck thieves who also kidnap the drivers of the trucks they steal. Three are prominent, though two other members or associates make voiceless appearances, and two of the main three are named, with the lanky one in blue named CV and the burly one in a sleeveless shirt named Horse.
When they kidnap Jenny's father, Donkey Kong Jr. and Bones give chase and hop a fence to infiltrate their hideout. They are eventually spotted by the trucknappers, but don disguises in order to fool them.
The trucknappers took the duo to the Turnpike Tex Truck Stop, where they are tasked to steal the truck of Turnpike Tex, a burly arm wrestler. They succeed, and attempt to spring up a trap of their own, which fails. Bones is chased by the trucknappers, but Donkey Kong Jr. manages to saw off some trees to corner them in a shed, trapping them.
Jenny's father later tells the duo that they landed the trucknappers in jail.
