Captain N: The Game Master

Captain N: The Game Master is a cartoon from DiC Entertainment that had 34 episodes and featured many games from the NES and Game Boy, like Mega Man, Zelda, Metroid, Castlevania, Kid Icarus, Donkey Kong, Tetris, and others, in which the characters interact together in Videoland. Mega Man is one the the main characters, but only three episodes features him and other Mega Man characters, telling stories from the first three Mega Man games, but with some differences.

Comics from Captain N: The Game Master where made, but only with Nintendo characters. Characters from third parties like Capcom and Konami don't appear in the comics. However before being canceled the final issue of the Captain N comic series had promised an appearance by Megaman and Dr. Wily.

=Episodes featuring Mega Man= Only three episodes featured Mega Man games:

Episode 5: Mega Trouble in Megaland
This episode is based on Kid Icarus and the first Mega Man game. After the Kid Icarus part of the history, Dr. Wily steals and reprograms six Robot Master of Dr. Wright. Mega Man and the other main characters try to stop him.

Episode 13: Happy Birthday, Mega Man
This episode is not based on any Mega Man game but is the second appearance of Dr. Light and the first appearance of Mega Girl. The N Team throws Mega Man a surprise birthday party and Dr. Light creates Mega Girl for Mega Man.

Episode 20: The Big Game
This episode is based on Mega Man 2 and California Games (a game with many sports). In the planet Metroid, Dr. Wily creates a energy machine and the eight Robot Masters from Mega Man 2. He works with Mother Brain (the final boss of the game Metroid) to energize the machine and had enough power to send the main characters to Earthquake Zone. The characters and the Robot Master fought each other in a football game.

Episode 32: A Tale of Two Dogs
This episode is based only on Mega Man 3. Dr. Wily joins Dr. Wright to create a giant peacekeeping robot called Gamma. Dr. Wright gets really happy to have Dr. Wily come back to the good side, but actualy, Dr. Wily was planning to steal Gamma and use it for evil purposes. Mega Man and Kevin go to Topland, a location in Megaland, to take the energy tank necessary for Gamma to work.

Mega Man used the Hard Knuckle and the Shadow Blade in this episode, but the only Robot Master from Mega Man 3 that appeared in the cartoon was Top Man.

=Mega Man characters= All characters from the cartoon are different from the original. Mega Man characters live in Megaland, a part of Videoland. Here are the Mega Man characters differences from the originals:



Mega Man
Mega Man is a short big headed cyan robot (later changed to green) with a weird robotic voice. His "Mega Buster" is a small hole in his arm that is used similar to Spider-Man's web shooter. He has also a energy meter and other functions in his arms. Mega Man is one of the main characters of the cartoon. As you can tell, the Captain N Series was not good to Mega Man.



Dr. Wright
Dr. Wright (Dr. Light) is a old dwarfed scientist with a big nose and less hair than the original.



Dr. Wily
Dr. Wily looks like the original, but dwarfed and with a deformed head. He is voiced by Ian James Corlett. He works for Mother Brain in this cartoon.



Mega Girl
Mega Girl is a pink and white Mega Man with blond hair created by Dr. Wright. It's probably Roll's version of this cartoon. She only appeared in the end of the episode Happy Birthday, Mega Man.



Rush
Rush looks a little like the original (but still different), and he is brown and orange instead of red and white. He only appeared in the episode "A Tale of Two Dogs", where he uses the Rush Rocket (Rush Jet).

Garbage Man is a Robot Master that only appeared in this cartoon, on the episode "Mega Trouble in Megaland". He was created by Dr. Wright.



Cuts Man
Cuts Man (Cut Man) is a green and orange robot with a blue psycho face with a nose and a mouth with 4 teeth in it. His Rolling Cutter is, literally, a big orange scissor in his head.



Guts Man
Guts Man has a smaller lower jaw, and a strange color scheme.



Ice Man
This version of Ice Man is clearly inspired by DC Comics supervillian Captain Cold.



Bomb Man




Other than the color change, Bombman is pretty much spot-on perfect.

Fire Man
Fire Man is a red and silver fat robot, and his eyes are a small green visor with a torch in his small head, and under the visor he has a big silver face.



Elec Man
Elec Man seens as a thin humanoid dark blue robot with a thunder draw in the front of his body. His face looks like a human using a blue old mask.



Metal Man
Metal Man is silver and both his hands turn into Metal-Blade blasters.



Quick Man

Gamma
Gamma is now a giant yellow ball with eyes, blue arms, yellow legs and a blue belt with a smile draw on it. It has the peace symbol as it was originally created for peace. It has also a cockpit in the top of his head, where Dr. Wily controls it.

Blader
A Blader appeared in episode 5. He has angry yellow eyes, a white nose and teeth (without a mouth).

<br style="clear: both;"/>
