Captain N: The Game Master

Kevin Keene, a teenager from Northridge, California, and his dog Duke are transported to the world of Videoland after being sucked into the Ultimate Warp Zone, a vortex that formed in his television.[3] To fulfill an ancient prophecy, Kevin is destined to become the hero Captain N and save Videoland from Mother Brain and her forces, who operate from the floating world/fortress of Metroid. When Kevin and Duke arrive in Videoland, Mother Brain has nearly succeeded in capturing the Palace of Power and conquering Videoland. They appear before the N Team, consisting of Princess Lana, the acting ruler of Videoland in the absence of her father, the King, Simon Belmont, Mega Man, and Kid Icarus, who are not confident in Kevin's abilities. When Lana is kidnapped by the enemy shortly after Kevin's arrival, they put aside their differences to rescue her, during which he proves himself to them. In Season 2, Game Boy, a human-sized supercomputer, joins the N Team. In most episodes, the N Team's enemy is a group of video game villains, usually led by the boisterous and loud Mother Brain and her minions, the Eggplant Wizard from Kid Icarus, the thuggish King Hippo from Punch-Out!!, and the scheming Dr. Wily from Mega Man. In episodes set in a particular video game, the villain is instead a "villain of the week", such as Malkil of Wizards & Warriors. Other characters make recurring appearances, including Donkey Kong, The Count from Castlevania, and Dr. Light from Mega Man. The cast of the Legend of Zelda cartoon reprise their respective roles for several guest appearances throughout the series. The show is primarily an action-adventure derived from the featured video games, with comic relief derived from the characters' interactions, quirks, and catchphrases, as well as the various worlds and their loose interpretations of the laws of reality that apply in Videoland.
