Captain N: The Game Master

Captain N: The Game Master is a television show produced by DIC. The premise was originally created by Nintendo Power's Randy Studdard. The original idea was about Mother Brain, Nintendo's main computer going rogue and Captain Nintendo, a Nintendo employee stopping it. A lot of things were changed.

Premise


Kevin Keene, the hero of the show, while playing his video game is sucked into a vortex formed in a television, moments after Kevin leaves a strange green figure appears and tries to reach out, then his dog, Duke jumps in after him. After falling through the Ultimate Warp Zone, Kevin lands in Videoland. To save Videoland from Mother Brain and fulfill an ancient prophecy, Kevin must become Captain N.

Kevin appears before the N Team, made up of Princess Lana (ruler of Videoland), Simon Belmont (Castlevania), Mega Man, and Kid Icarus. Princess Lana is captured, and the team comes together to save her. The group continues to battle Mother Brain over the course of the show.

Donkey Kong in Captain N
Donkey Kong is depicted as a giant ape who doesn't like visitors. He attacks anyone who enters Kongo Land, his home in the show.

Donkey Kong first appears in the episode Videolympics. He competes on Mother Brain's team. In Simon the Ape-Man, Simon gets amnesia and believes he's Donkey Kong Jr. In Queen of the Apes, Donkey Kong attacks Princess Lana's palace and kidnaps her. Donkey Kong also appeared in The Lost City of Kongoland.
