Captain N & The Video Game Masters



Captain N & The Video Game Masters was a compilation TV show, produced for syndication, consisting of several Nintendo cartoons that were produced by DiC Entertainment. It originally aired on The Family Channel, and was later seen on the USA Network.

The show was essentially reruns, and the opening segment consisted of clips of the four shows that it showcased; The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3, Super Mario World, The Legend of Zelda and Captain N: The Game Master. As Captain N & The Video Game Masters was produced for syndication, The Super Mario Bros. Super Show! was ommited, for it was also airing seperately in syndication. The show's theme music was recycled from Captain N's second season intro, with the lyrics consisting of nothing but "The world of Captain N is here" sung four times.

After the introduction played, the show went to a commerical break. After which, the proper opening to whichever show that was being aired that day was shown. Although a Captain N episode was a full half hour, the other shows would air two episodes back-to-back. When two episodes of The Legend of Zelda were aired, they were mildly sped up with time-compressed footage.
