Number of Donkey Kong episodes[edit]

Something's wrong with it: why there are only 19 episodes in the list if he appeared in each of the 26 episodes? Or he didn't?--Kombatgod (talk) 23:02, 28 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

No Pac Man[edit]

Wasn't Pac-Man part of the Supercade? - Jaypoc --never made a part of Supercade. He had his own series by hanna-barbera.155.95.80.253 (talk) 15:52, 18 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Donkey Kong DVD[edit]

Despite what I mentioned in my edit, I have located the Donkey Kong sets on Toonarific's site. However, as I suspected, it is a bootleg.

DO NOT reinsert the information about Toonarific's DVD sets of Donkey Kong as they are not official by any means. 67.186.163.48 (talk) 23:52, 20 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Space Ace Relation Problem[edit]

"Again, as with Donkey Kong, Ruby Spears took artistic license with the relationship with Kimberly and Dexter. In the Don Bluth film canon, Kimberly is Ace's girlfriend, not sister."

Actually, I think you might've misinterpreted it from the first episode, "Cute Groots" (not certain if this is the correct episode), when Ace accidentally transforms into Dexter in front of the Commander. The Commander acknowledges "Dexter" as Kimberly's 'brother' in the series. Whereas when Ace reverts back, Kimberly reveals the "Dexter-brother" thing is only a 'secret identity' ruse (sort of a la Superman, but without the glasses). The reason being is according to Ruby-Spears, only Kimberly and Borf know about Ace being adversely affected by the Infanto Ray, whereas Space Command has no idea Ace was hit by it.

In fact, in "Cute Groots" [again can't ascertain if this is the right episode] Kimberly informs Ace they can't let anyone in Space Command learn of his condition. Otherwise they'd quarantine him until they can locate a proper cure for Ace. Thus, whenever Ace becomes Dexter, Kimberly simply claims Dexter's her younger sibling. It was never officially mentioned if Ace really was kin to her in the series, however, and suspect he was really her boyfriend before the whole 'Infanto Ray' mess got started.

Apologies if I'm nitpicking, but I recently saw the short on Boomerang, and noticed this plot point.Fangarius (talk) 07:41, 1 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Lists vs. Prose[edit]

This article is laced with a lot of lists, it doesn't really make it easily approachable... suggestions welcome as to how to minimize the impact on readability of those bold lists. Salvidrim (talk) 00:36, 22 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Ownership/Licensing issues

==Ownership/Licensing issues==

Saturday Supercade is presumably under the ownership of Warner Bros. Entertainment (through Turner Entertainment Co., who acquired the Ruby-Spears library in 1991, which coincidentally owns Pac-Man, another animated series based on a video game produced by RS's former sister company Hanna-Barbera). However, in the 1980s, MCA TV held the international distribution rights to the Donkey Kong and Donkey Kong Junior segments (possibly as part of the settlement with Nintendo over the King Kong plagiarism issue), and it is unknown if those rights have reverted to WB/Turner or are now owned by MCA's successor, NBC Universal.^{[citation needed]} Also, a Minisode version of the Q*bert episode "Thanksgiving for the Memories" has appeared on the Minisode Network, suggesting that the Q*bert segments might be owned by Sony Pictures Television (whose corporate predecessor, Columbia Pictures Industries, owned Gottlieb/Mylstar at the time).
