Trapper Jack
Trapper Jack from Saturday Supercade
Species Human
First appearance Saturday Supercade ("Hairy Parent") (1984)

Trapper Jack is a character in the Saturday Supercade episode "Hairy Parent." He is an animal smuggler who auctions off the animals he captures. His name is a play on crackerjack, which refers to being exceptionally good at something, hence his specialty at trapping wild animals.

Trapper Jack first appears not long into the episode, where he immediately attempts to capture Donkey Kong on sight. However, upon realizing that Mario is also after Donkey Kong, the two clash, causing Donkey Kong to escape despite Pauline's warnings.

Trapper Jack attempts to create another trap for Donkey Kong, but clashes with Mario again after both realize that their traps are too similar to each other. Donkey Kong then jumpscares both of them into their own traps, running off again.

He appears again to capture Momma and take her to the auction. Donkey Kong tries to follow, but is ensnared in Mario's trap.

Trapper Jack then appears to take Momma and a disguised Mario to be sold off. Despite getting close to winning a fortune thanks to two top bidders, Donkey Kong manages to create a diversion to distract everyone. Trapper Jack eventually tries to escape when Donkey Kong commandeers a rhino. He is tackled by the rhino and knocked into a stream; when he surfaces and vows he is not finished yet, a crocodile appears and chases him away. Trapper Jack's exact fate is left unknown.
