'''Lightning''' is a character in the ''[[Saturday Supercade]]'' episode "[[Junior Meets Kid Dynamo]]." He is an anthropomorphic {{wp|Irish Wolfhound}} who acts as [[Kid Dynamo]]'s sidekick.

He first appears at the beginning of the episode with Kid Dynamo and attempts to interrogate [[Bones Bailey]], only for Kid Dynamo to stop him as he has met them before. Lightning explains that [[Meteor Dust|the dust from a meteor]] is what gives them their powers as Kid Dynamo invites them over to his house.

As Donkey Kong Jr., Bones, Ricky, and Lightning talk about how to stop Dr. Demise (Lightning explains that even his superior sense of smell could not pick up any trace of Dr. Demise's hideout), Ricky's father asks him to rake the leaves; after he does so, Lightning is momentarily distracted with a bone he found, allowing Dr. Demise to kidnap him, prompting Kid Dynamo to rescue him; this is actually a trap set up by Dr. Demise in order to chemically eradicate his superhuman powers. After he is freed, Lightning gives a now powerless Kid Dynamo some additional meteor dust to replenish his powers.

He then accompanies Kid Dynamo in going after Dr. Demise at [[Sweetville Station]], helping lure him into a pine tree to cover his helicopter in pine needles. Kid Dynamo then destroys the helicopter and catches Dr. Demise, ending his schemes once and for all.

Back at his house, he has dinner with Donkey Kong Jr. and Bones before they take off again in search of [[Donkey Kong]]. When Ricky's mother tells him to eat vegetables to grow strong, Lightning hints that he is already strong enough because he is the true identity of Kid Dynamo.
