Bones (character)

Bones was a greaser who was the clumsy companion of Donkey Kong Jr. throughout the Donkey Kong Jr. segment of Saturday Supercade.

As the story goes, Bones had found Donkey Kong Jr. depressed on the street; it seems Junior had traveled from unknown location in order to visit his father, Donkey Kong. Unfortunately for Junior, Donkey Kong had run away from the circus he was at, with Mario and Pauline on his trail.

Bones took pity on Donkey Kong Jr. and decided to aid him in his search for his father, and off the two went across the country on Bones' motorcycle, going on various misadventures during their search. Donkey Kong Junior's favorite expression was "Monkey muscle!", which he also said Bones should use to believe in himself. Although clumsy and diffident at times, Bones was a good voice of reason when Donkey Kong Jr. got in over his head.
