==Plot synopsis==
[[File:SS Magnificent Seven-Year Olds Alan and bullies.png|thumb|left|Alan confronting the thieves who stole his bike]]
[[Donkey Kong Jr.]] and [[Bones (Saturday Supercade)|Bones]] are taking a motorcycle ride through the city. Bones comments that everyone they asked knows about [[Donkey Kong]], and jokes that he might have joined the circus again. They stop in front of a restaurant named [[Big Gorilla Burgers]], with a giant statue of a gorilla heavily resembling Donkey Kong out front. Before continuing their search, they stop in to get some food. As Bones is walking out, a group of kids on bikes rushes by. The last kid, named [[Alan]], hits Bones, making him crash and spill the food. Meanwhile, two other greasers, [[Mickey and Stretch]], are watching. Bones tells Alan that he might have time to catch up with his friends, only for Mickey to steal Alan's bike. Alan stands up to Mickey, who asks who is going to stop him, and Alan points to Bones. Bones is intimidated and Mickey shoves him in a trash can, then kicks him away. The two greasers flee in a van, and Jr. comes out of the restaurant. He eats the burgers and declares that he can stop the bullies and get Alan's bike back.

Jr. scopes out the city by jumping off a mattress and onto a billboard, where he sees the greasers' van driving away. He tears off the billboard poster, folds it up like a paper airplane, and flies it towards the van. Jr. tears off the back doors and gets in to steal the bike, but the greasers drive uphill and he falls out. Jr. does a jump to avoid hitting pedestrians, then brings the bike back to Alan and Bones, continuing to pursue the greasers. Alan stops by his friends, who are sitting at a curbside, and learns that the greasers stole their bikes as well. Jr. decides to train the kids in "jungle acrobatics" so they can defeat the greasers. They complete Jr.'s obstacle course relatively easily, but Bones, who went to give the kids confidence, struggles throughout. When one of Alan's friends, Jill, gets nervous when performing a tire swing between trees, Jr. encourages her. Bones, who was unable to climb the tree and made a stack of ladders, loses his balance. He grabs onto the branch, sinking it and making Jill swing, although she makes it to the other end. Bones falls in the mud, but Jr. thinks it was intentional and remarks that Donkey Kong would be proud of him. Jr. is impressed by everyone for completing the course and comes up with a plan to deal with the greasers.

Jr. has Bones dress as an elderly lady and bike around, when Mickey and Stretch try to go after him. Bones gets distracted and crashes into a fountain, allowing the two to capture him, when Jr. brings Alan and his friends to the rescue. Mickey traps Bones in a tire and throws him onto a skateboard. Jr. stops him by throwing a lamppost in his way, making him fall into a sewer. With Bones rescued, Jr. and Alan's friends head to the warehouse, where Mickey and Stretch are loading the bikes into a van, planning to sell them in a nearby town. Jr., then Alan and his group, then Bones come in to stop them. Bones slips and falls onto a sliding chair, sending him bouncing around the warehouse. Mickey and Stretch try to jump onto the kids, but they run out of the way and leave a mattress behind, making the greasers bounce off the springs. Jr. traps them on a stack of furniture he is holding. Bones crashes into the stack, leaving the greasers to escape on bikes. Jr. and the kids chase them on their own bikes, while Bones pedals on the sliding chair. At a construction site, he hits a rock and falls face-first into a cement mixer. This gives Jr. an idea: he lassos the cement mixer and makes it spill cement on the greasers, defeating them.

With everyone's bikes recovered, Jr. and the kids hang out outside Big Gorilla Burgers. Bones brings them some food, only to get nearly run over by an elderly lady who looks identical to the one he disguised as. He gets the food spilled over him, making Jr. and the kids laugh.

==Animation and continuity errors==
*Throughout the episode, the number of fingers characters have on each hand continuously swaps between four and five.
*When [[Donkey Kong Jr.]] spots the pedestrians crossing the street, they are almost to the other side when the scene cuts back to him, but as he jumps over them, they are crossing the street again.
**In the following shot, [[Alan]]'s bike is incorrectly shown rolling forwards despite showing it rolling backwards a couple scenes earlier.
*When [[Bones (Saturday Supercade)|Bones]] opens his compact, the reflection faces the correct way instead of reversed as in a mirror.
*The audio temporarily becomes unsynchronized when Bones falls into the fountain.
*After [[Mickey and Stretch|Mickey]] throws Bones onto the skateboard, the latter's elderly woman disguise disappears for the rest of the episode.
