Captain N: The Game Master is a cartoon series that aired on U.S. and United Kingdom television from 1989 to 1992. The show incorporated many of the most popular Nintendo games of the time. There was also a comic book version by Valiant Comics albeit only featuring characters from Nintendo produced games.
The hero of the series, Kevin Keene, is a teenager from Northridge, California. He and his dog, "Duke", are summoned to another universe known as "Video Land" in order to fulfill an ancient prophecy. Kevin is to become the hero "Captain N: The Game Master" and save Videoland from the wicked Mother Brain (the chief enemy in Metroid) and her minions of evil. Mother Brain is trying to conquer Videoland. He and Duke join the N-Team, which consists of Princess Lana (the Ruler of Videoland), Simon Belmont (the hero from Castlevania), Mega Man, Kid Icarus, and Game Boy (a giant supercomputer). At times he receives help from Link and Princess Zelda (from The Legend of Zelda) and Donkey Kong. The N Team goes up against the evil Mother Brain and her minions, the Eggplant Wizard (Kid Icarus), King Hippo (Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!!), and Dr. Wily (Mega Man). In each episode, the two opposing sides clash, resulting in comical situations.
