Plot synopsis[edit]
As Donkey Kong Jr. and Bones travel through a city, Bones notices a robbery nearby, being committed by Dr. Demise and his assistant Horace. The two decide to thwart the robbery, springing off of a nearby streetlight to reach the level of the building Horace is on. Donkey Kong Jr. sneaks up on him and knocks him out with a bin, causing the pulley with the safe they were stealing to fall. Bones also falls when he leans too far over, but he is saved by a boy capable of flight named Kid Dynamo, who catches the falling safe, but is too late to stop Dr. Demise. As the two villains escape in their helicopter, Dr. Demise begins a new scheme: figuring out how to disable Kid Dynamo's powers.
Meanwhile, while heading back to their motorcycle, Donkey Kong Jr. and Bones wonder if they could have met Kid Dynamo in person. While walking, Bones accidentally stumbles upon a boy and a talking dog. Believing the boy to be Kid Dynamo's true identity, he tries to eavesdrop on them, only to accidentally fall into a trash can (which the dog closes immediately). As Bones tries to reason with them, Donkey Kong Jr. arrives, with the boy realizing that he met them not too long before. He introduces himself as Ricky, and confirms that he is the true identity of Kid Dynamo. The dog introduces himself as Lightning, and explains Kid Dynamo's origin story: a decade before, when Ricky had recently been born, an ominous blue meteor struck Sweetville Hospital, where he was being incubated; unlike most meteors, this particular meteor left behind unidentified particles that mostly fell directly on Ricky and Lightning, granting Ricky his flight and superhuman abilities, and Lightning his enhanced abilities.
