## Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers

Sweet Pete first appears when Bob takes Chip and Dale to his business. There, Sweet Pete says hello and Chip and Dale were surprised to see him very old. Pete then talks about his backstory where he was the star of his own movie which is before being thrown away due being older. He then reveals to the two chipmunks that he made a bootleg movie studio as well as guesting that they came to him to talk about their friend Monterey Jack. Because of that, He then gets angry at them for trying to ruin his plan and then order Jimmy to take Chip and Dale. The two chipmunks avoid the polar bear and went to the bathroom.

Pete then appears once again in an apartment where he visits the pool and some rooms unaware that Chip and Dale are still trying to ruin to his plans until later.

At Pete's secret lair, after discovering some of Pete's plans. Pete is seen spying on the two chipmunks along with his minions. Jimmy asks Pete if they should follow them, but Pete said that he has a special way of tracking people which is following Dale.

When Pete and Jimmy notice Chip and Dale at the fan convention circuit, they both chased the chipmunks until some of the characters got in their way (although Jimmy did captured Chip himself).

At the secret lair, Pete is still working on his plans and when Ellie tries to save Chip, it later turns out that Captain Putty is Pete's partner-in-crime. After that, Pete plans to torture Chip by doing the same thing he did to the other cartoon characters until Dale and his friends arrive. Pete threatens Dale to erase Chip. Dale tries to explain to him by talking about their backstories, but Pete refused to redeem himself. Just then, the machine went crazy which caused Pete to turn into a monster. Pete then still tries to kill Chip and Dale as well as chasing them around the lair which is before Ugly Sonic arrive and captured him, but Pete released himself and attack Dale (although it turns out that he survived). Pete was then arrested for his crimes along with his partner-in-crime and minions.

* Sweet Pete serves as a dark parallel to both Chip and Dale. The three of them are stars who got sad backstories (Chip and Dale ending their friendship which cause their shows to be cancelled while Pete gets fired due getting older) but however unlike Pete, Chip and Dale never turned evil but however got their friendship backed and get rid of their past grudges but however on the other hand, Pete still have his grudges which is him being fired due to growing up showing that he never learn his mistakes. Because of this, Pete serves as an example of what Chip and Dale would have become if they never get their friendship back and still keep their past grudges.
