First appearance | Saturday Supercade ("How Much is That Gorilla in the Window?") (1983) |
Brian is a character in the Saturday Supercade episode "How Much is That Gorilla in the Window?." He is the son of an implied owner of a mansion.
Brian first appears at the beginning of the episode, where he is escorted to Pet City, a local pet store, while Solmes and Kenworth discuss their plans to steal the mansion's jewels. When he sees Donkey Kong, he "purchases" him and takes him back to the limousine to the mansion.
Brian then has his birthday party with Donkey Kong, riding along with him on his new bike. They crash into Kenworth while he is trying to open the safe. When Brian asks Kenworth why the safe is open, Kenworth claims that a burglar is trying to steal the jewels. Brian and Donkey Kong begin preparations for the thief's "return."
Snooping around, Brian and Donkey Kong catch Kenworth attempting to call a local zoo, telling them that Donkey Kong is an "escaped animal". Brian fires him without question and orders Donkey Kong to literally boot him out.
When Mario and Pauline arrive at the scene and attempt to enact their plan to capture Donkey Kong, Brian incorrectly deduces them as the zoo employees, and immediately cuts Donkey Kong free without being spotted, allowing him to sabotage Mario. Later, as Brian takes Donkey Kong to a nearby golf course, he witnesses Mario's face-off with Donkey Kong before both of them end up in a concrete booby trap set up by Solmes and Kenworth. As the villainous duo steals the safe, Brian begins to realize that Mario and Pauline are not truly hostile.
As Brian is searching through the mansion corridors for Solmes and Kenworth, he and Donkey Kong spot them and immediately recognize them in their ape costumes they change into almost immediately before, and knock them both out with bowling balls and into the same zookeeper Kenworth called earlier. Later, Brian is seen talking about the climactic events to a girl, but gives some credit to Donkey Kong for helping him.
