The Golden Bridge Theatre is a business appearing in the Saturday Supercade episode "The Ventriloquist Caper." The name "Golden Bridge" is a reference to the Golden Gate Bridge.
Donkey Kong Jr. and Bones Bailey visit the theater after the reading a newspaper detailing an annual children's show that will take place there, with one of the performers being the Wrestling Gorilla, which they believe is actually Donkey Kong. However, when they arrive at the theater and enter the dressing room, he is nowhere to be seen. Peter Windson informs them that he is late, leading to Dandy Andy and his doll Andoo deciding to perform instead. However, before he walks onstage, Slick and Shorty throw a curtain over him and carry him into a basement. They then return his and his doll's clothes and pose as them during their performance. They then steal the jewelry of several theatergoers and head off to a diamond exhibition at the San Francisco Hotel for their next heist.
The theater reappears at the end of the episode, where Andy thanks Jr. and Bones for stopping the criminals and saving his reputation. After Andy entertains the group with Andoo one more time, Peter notices the Wrestling Gorilla, who bears a resemblance to Donkey Kong Jr. Donkey Kong Jr. notices that he is not Donkey Kong, but the gorilla jumps excitedly and speaks in monkey noises, which Jr. can understand. Excited, Jr. walks away with the gorilla as the latter makes more monkey noises, leaving a confused Bones to believe that they are acting.
