Clyde is a character appearing in the Saturday Supercade episode "The Great Seal Steal." His name may be a reference to Great Depression bandit Clyde Barrow.
He is first seen with his partner at Oceanland, where he kidnaps Flippie with an extendable net. They then drive off to a hotel, with Donkey Kong Jr. and Bones in pursuit.
At the hotel, Clyde's partner places a collar on Flippie that puts the latter under the former's control, before commanding him to jump from the balcony. Jr. confronts them on the balcony after jumping on a chair, but they flee to a nearby balcony after Clyde's partner uses a grappling hook. As Jr. is about to reach their balcony, he removes the grappling hook from the balcony, though Jr. uses its ropes as vine to swing to the other side. Jr. is about to continue chasing the kidnappers, but notices Bones in trouble with the police and briefly abandons the chase to save him.
On a yacht, Jr. attempts to save Flippie after taking off his belly dancer disguise, but Clyde's partner commands Flippie to drop a net on him as he runs over a hatch, before commanding him to open the hatch to drop him into a cargo hold. After Flippie steals a pearl from a sultan's ceremony, he commands him to return to his and Clyde's boat.
After retrieving the pearl from Flippie, Clyde's partner removes his collar, freeing him from his control. Just then, Clyde notices Donkey Kong Jr. and Bones giving chase, to which his partner throws the collar into a shark's mouth, putting it under his control, before commanding it to attack them. This plan backfires when Jr. and Bones use the shark to chase after them. Clyde's partner attempts to stop them, but Flippie trips him. When Jr. throws a rope onto their boat's mooring post and yanks it, it tears off part of its deck, carrying them with it. Though Clyde and his partner are not seen after Jr. and Bones return them to shore, it is assumed they were arrested for their crimes.
