That was pretty interesting (and blissfully short).
The reason the characters are weird colors (Blue King Hippo, Green Mega Man) is because the guy in charge of character designs was color blind and nobody bothered to fix it. I wish I was making that up.

You know, this show could have been awesome if it wasn't bogged down by all the terrible 80s kids show gimmicks. Making Mega Man and Kid Icarus sound like idiots by throwing the words 'mega' and '-ikus' into every one of their sentences (not to mention calling him Kid Icarus instead of Pit), making Simon a fop, Mother Brain being impossible to take serious due to being an ineffectual villain with two bumbling clods for minions, not to mention all the stupid puns like having the elf king of Faxanadu being an Elvis parody named Elfis.
That said, I enjoyed the show as a kid, and it's obviously stuck with me if I can still remember 'King Elfis' after almost 25 years since I last watched it. This would be the perfect next project for one of Netflix's original series reboots. They've been knocking them out of the park so far.

If they ever do get round to such a series, I hope they have a LOEG moment where there's a gallery showing off photos and memorabilia from members of the team ups of various console generations. |

Another dumb move...including Alucard but making him into a surfer dude. I'm sure we can go on and on about how they misused minor characters from other games too. To be fair, I thought his name was Kid Icarus too, as the references to Pit were buried into the game further. To the person who wanted Captain N in Smash Bros....would Nintendo have to get permission from, um, is it still DHX now who owns the DiC library? Was it DiC who created the character primarily? |

The point of the show was not for it to be good or to be particularly accurate. It was to ride the wave of the Nintendo fad. That's it. It was just a cheap, quickie, cash-in cartoon meant to get ratings, bring in advertising money for the toy and video game makers (the commercials) and get ratings. A few years earlier they had made cartoons about Laser Tag toys, and Rubik's Cube because those were popular too. |

See, at this point if someone tried to make a Captain N reboot, people would just ask "Why isn't this a Smash Bros series?" |

Captain N...one of the few series that was made awesome by a dub who took some liberties.
I was as a child until getting older only familiar with the German dub which me and my brother loved. While we knew that the show took many liberties with the game, it was a show where watching the original version I can appreciate the German dub so much more for being a big part of my childhood (thankfully we only got the first two seasons and the turd season was never dubbed).

The comic book version was better. If you going to have Mother Brain as the main villain, you need Samus has to be part of it, or at least explained why she is absent.
