I knew of it as a kid but never got to see it as I knew of Legend of Zelda cartoon as well but we only got The Super Mario Super show and when mates from down south told me about it, I really wanted to watch it bacj then watched it as a big kid and remember my mate saying that their was livened music on the show like Suoer Mario Bros show but I guess when I watched it that licencing got to them with a ciece and decease, still a awesome show with great animation

Loved Captain N as a kid!

That "Action Theme" in the episodes is an instrumental version of a song they used in later seasons called "Mega Move". In the original airings, they used covers of pop songs back in the late 80s and early 90s, but had to swap them out for copyright reasons. Sad too, cause I liked the covers they used during the originals.

Starting around 1991, while season 3 was being aired on NBC, the series was syndicated on The Family Channel. I didn't know it at the time, but the episodes were sped up slightly time compressed to make room and fit in more commercials, making episodes around 2 minutes shorter. Episodes were split into 4 acts instead of 2 or 3, adding an extra commercial fade. Family Channel airings also included the featured songs that played on the NBC airing, unlike later airings on WGN, Fox, and USA Network. In 1992, while airing the Family Channel, it was played on local Fox affiliates, although in certain areas were the Fox affiliate didn't broadcast children's shows (such as WTTG in Washington, D.C.), it was shown on the WGN SuperStation. The show rotated four Nintendo cartoons (Captain N, Super Mario 3/World, and The Legend of Zelda) each day. This was the first time the featured chase songs were edited out in Season 1 with an instrumental version of the "Mega Move" song from "The Feud of Faxanadu". In the early fall of 1993, the show was removed from syndication. Starting in the winter of 1994, USA Network briefly began showing reruns of the series on their Sunday lineup on their USA Cartoon Express animation block. Unlike other reruns, USA opted to edit scenes out of various episodes to cut the length down to their required limit in order to fit in more commercials.

Thanks for checking it out, glad you enjoyed.

There is one thing you left out. Like with the Super Mario Bros. Super Show, Captain N use to play cover versions of our favorite songs like Danger Zone, Thriller, Born on the Bayou, even the theme from Bonanza when they first aired. But now, due to fear of lawsuits from the song makers, just like the aforementioned Super Show, they dropped the cover songs and replaced them with instrumental version of Mega Move. Other than that, nicely done on the review. Keep it up.

In my head canons, I always depicted Simon as a combination of a bad ass warrior preacher, the kind that can take on a whole nest of vampires single-handedly all the while quoting Bible verses, with a softer, kinder, and more comedic side which he could seemingly bring out at random. Certainly not this narcissistic, blowhearted buffoon we gotten this cartoon.

Ya know , considering how big Donkey Kong is, and how ...human-looking, he is ( especially in the face) , I suspect he's more inspired by George from Rampage. He was always more of a giant Man-Ape ( quite literally really).

With all the odd, stuff, going on in these episodes. I feel less racy saying, Lana is a banger. And yes, I feel, 80ish.

Surprised you didn't mention the nonexistent background when Kevin runs into that first gator.

Also, I'm pretty sure that, technically speaking, Capt. N. came out before the first Donkey Kong Country game. So I'm pretty sure their version of the big hairy ape is a combination of the character from the original arcade game, with a little bit of King Kong, who may or may not have served as some inspiration for Donkey Kong, thrown in.

I found this on IMDB.... Captain N: The Game Master (1989) The episode How's Bayou has two different versions. The original version aired on September 16, 1989 and never again. It had a lot of unfinished/raw animation, different music/dialogue/scenes/etc., and a lot of other little differences. The "finished" version aired all subsequent times. Strangely, the DVD includes the rare, first version, and not the later better-known version.

For all this show's faults - and they are many - the writing is no worse than any of the other shows at the time; it's no worse than the writing you got in some of the later episodes of The Real Ghostbusters (in which Q5 made Slimer the main star, softened Janine for the worst, and demoted Winston into being "the driver" of the team), and it's certainly no worse than the writing you were getting on Super Mario Bros., or a bit while later, The Legend of Zelda; it was standard 1980's kids fare: there was slapstick physical humour, there were montages with songs (Real Ghostbusters had those all over the place, and so did ThunderCats; it was a thing), and unnecessary moralising, because knowing is half the battle, learning and growing, all that jazz.
