Characters

 

Being only seven episodes long with each episode lasting only ten minutes, the third season of Captain N doesn't really allow for a wide cast of characters, with most of the old villains being ditched for new one-shot versions, but all the more reason to talk about them.

Main characters (mostly those who appear in more than one episode or in previous seasons) are listed first, the rest being one-shot dudes in episode order.

 

GOOD GUYS

Kevin Keene, aka Captain N (Matt Hill), is the leader of the N Team and pretty much the most perfect of them all, despite originally being just some kid from the real world; he's got the Power Pad, a gamepad belt which allows him to do all sorts of crazy crap, and the Zapper. Sometimes he's got a failure of pride or jealousy, but he's really pretty perfect. The swine.

Princess Lana (Venus Terzo) is the ruler of all of Videoland, and therefore is really about the only character on the show with some sense. If someone's being stupid, she points it out, and if things look obviously dangerous, she points it out, but not like anyone actually pays attention to this.

APPEARANCES: Pursuit of the Magic Hoop, Totally Tetrisized, Battle of the Baseball Know-It-Alls, The Fractured Fantasy of Captain N

Duke (Tomm Wright) is Kevin's neckerchief wearing dog, and doesn't have any amazing abilities at all. He's just a dog. The N Team doesn't discriminate, no matter how useless.

APPEARANCES: Misadventures in Robin Hood Woods, Pursuit of the Magic Hoop, A Tale of Two Dogs, Battle of the Baseball Know-It-Alls

Simon Belmont (Andrew Kavadas) is the legendary vampire hunter, great grandson of Trevor Belmont and self-proclaimed vanity extraordinaire. He's actually a decent fighter when he isn't suffering from relentless comic relief pratfalls or demonstrating his hindrances, but he spends more time disagreeing with the characters who have more sense than anything to be useful.

APPEARANCES: Return to Castlevania, Totally Tetrisized, Battle of the Baseball Know-It-Alls

Kid Icarus (Alessandro Juliani) is one of the two little guys with a speech impediment, armed with a bow and arrow and the ability to fly wherever he wants. He's one of the few characters that don't have dusty marbles for brains and is generally there whenever Kevin's having hard times, so he's actually almost consistently useful. Almost.

APPEARANCES: Misadventures in Robin Hood Woods, Battle of the Baseball Know-It-Alls, The Fractured Fantasy of Captain N

The other speech impedimented short guy, Mega Man (Doug Parker) has a wide assortment of weaponry and gadgets located inside his arm, which he can bust out whenever the situation gets hairy. He's also got a weird croaking voice and despite being a robot that presumably weighs a ton, Lana can lift him up into the air just fine.

APPEARANCES: A Tale of Two Dogs, Battle of the Baseball Know-It-Alls, The Fractured Fantasy of Captain N

Mega Man's creator, Dr. Wright; or Dr. Light as he's known in the games; is an elf-looking fellow who built Mega Man, Rush and also a peace keeping robot with Dr. Wily, but doesn't really do much either. These bit characters are so dull.

APPEARANCES: A Tale of Two Dogs

Rush, Mega Man's talking robot super dog that can turn into a jet, is made a rivalry with Duke because their owners are jerks for the episode. They team up to stop Wily and that quells that argument.

APPEARANCES: A Tale of Two Dogs

You know what Game Boy does?

Nothing.

Absolutely nothing.

Nobody's complaining, though.

APPEARANCES: Battle of the Baseball Know-It-Alls

Robin Hood is the ever famous thief of the rich and money supplier to the poor, but that's about the only thing he does well in his sole appearance, as the rest of the episode is spent being submissive to villains and flaunting his extravagance and being a doofus.

APPEARANCES: Misadventures in Robin Hood Woods

Little John (Long John Baldry) isn't little at all, and laughs at Kid Icarus' wings and mocks his claims at being able to outshoot the rest of the Merry Men in an archery contest. He gets proven wrong and takes it in stride.

APPEARANCES: Misadventures in Robin Hood Woods

Friar Tuck doesn't do jack. He makes fun of Kid Icarus along with Little John, but that's it.

APPEARANCES: Misadventures in Robin Hood Woods

Maid Marion is the niece of Prince John, lover of Robin Hood and apparently has a problem with holding keys and staying upright on ledges. She gets saved by Kid Icarus but isn't seen afterwards, meaning she's probably still imprisoned. Harsh.

APPEARANCES: Misadventures in Robin Hood Woods

Larry Bird (not Larry Bird) was an NBA basketball player, and he's white, so you can tell he was pretty damn super. He's the local champion of Hoopland and arrives to take part in Hoop-Dee-Doo-Dah Day, but gets dragged into an adventure about a giant robot. He don't do basketball no more.

APPEARANCES: Pursuit of the Magic Hoop

Poor little Hoopless. He only wants to be accepted! But the prejudiced citizens of Hoopland don't because he's so short, never mind that he invented everything in the frigging world. His attempt at getting tall just makes his robot buddy a giant menace, but Larry Bird teaches him that his peers should be ashamed for not accepting him. Things turn out alright for him.

APPEARANCES: Pursuit of the Magic Hoop

Rebound's a hyperactive robot buddy of Hoopless, but has a glitch that makes him evil. Then he fumbles his English and gets made huge and goes on a rampage, but Lana sacrifices the chance to rescue her father for making him normal again. Oh, that scamp!

APPEARANCES: Pursuit of the Magic Hoop

The Poltergeist King (Long John Baldry) has ties to Belmont's family tree and provided him with weaponry or something that's unexplained, but the real deal is that he's kidnapped by The Count and has to be freed by Simon and company. Believe it or not, he's actually from the games!

APPEARANCES: Return to Castlevania

Mayor Squaresly? He's as much use as an elbow thermometer. He builds a giant robot to scare off anyone who dares turn him into a blockhead, and doesn't think of using it to, you know, beat up the bad guy. He gets dragged along into escapades and then turned into a blockhead before returned to normal again.

APPEARANCES: Totally Tetrisized

Lyle, Lana's brother, lives in the land of Tetris and saves the day with his ring. He apparently appeared in the previous seasons, but seriously, he does jack.

APPEARANCES: Totally Tetrisized

Bo Jackson (Bo Jackson) (hurf) was a celebrity baseball player who's the team captain of the Videoland Allstars, and got dragged into a ludicrous Mother Brain scheme. He got to crack a few skulls and became chums with Kevin. He doesn't do baseball anymore, either.

APPEARANCES: Battle of the Baseball Know-It-Alls

The Witch is an absent minded old fool who's quick to make assumptions about trespassers, but is actually friendly whenever she knows who she's dealing with, but heavily contrasts the whole generic witch appearance. She helps awaken the elf prince from his slumber.

APPEARANCES: The Fractured Fantasy of Captain N

The Elf Prince is very boasting of his many achievements. And then Kevin drugs his drink with a knockout spell and laughs at his misfortune. He gets better, though.

APPEARANCES: The Fractured Fantasy of Captain N

 

BAD GUYS

Mother Brain (Levi Stubbs), despite being the primary villain of the previous two seasons, is relegated to a single appearance in this one, where she warps the N Team to a baseball themed world of horrors as she takes over the Palace of Power. Then she gets teleported into the path of rampaging baseball bats, and that's the last she's ever seen doing.

APPEARANCES: Battle of the Baseball Know-It-Alls

Eggplant Wizard (Michael Donovan) is probably the less stupid of Mother Brain's henchmen, though I say this simply because his voice isn't exactly the same as Guts Man's. That and he doesn't brush his teeth with a brush that's been scrubbing dirty floors.

APPEARANCES: Battle of the Baseball Know-It-Alls

King Hippo (Gary Chalk), having gone from just a boxer with a crown in the games into a blue-skinned huge-nippled ugly beast person in the cartoon, he's just plain dumb. That's all there is to him.

APPEARANCES: Battle of the Baseball Know-It-Alls

The Count, more commonly known as Dracula, lord of the vampires and has come back from the dead more times than one can count, and tries to shame Simon Belmont into quitting the vampire hunting business by pretending to be the Poltergeist King, but he gets beaten once more.

APPEARANCES: Return to Castlevania

Son of Dracula and angsty rebel pretty boy in the games, Alucard (Ian James Corlett) is a skateboarding slang-rambling music-loving party harder who goes nowhere without his trusty board. Then he rebels against his pop and joins the good guys and then joins his pop again before getting thrown into a coffin.

APPEARANCES: Return to Castlevania

Dr. Wily (Ian James Corlett), allying with Dr. Wright to make a peace keeping robot is secretly planning to get Mega Man and Kevin out of the way so he can take over the world. It goes without saying that he hijacks the peace robot and wreaks trouble with it, but is chased away by bees. Bees.

APPEARANCES: A Tale of Two Dogs

Doc Robot's just one of those silly robot underlings that fails everything and gets himself destroyed by attempting to stop the heroes. Wily doesn't mourn his apparent death after being crushed by a pipe that he sawed down himself.

APPEARANCES: A Tale of Two Dogs

We all know the Sheriff of Nottingham; he's evil, hates Robin Hood, sucks his thumb, has a moustache to die for and is all to happy to rob you in broad daylight. Despite this, his scheme to win the archery contest and keep Maid Marion imprisoned didn't go down well. Alas, the life of a villain.

APPEARANCES: Misadventures in Robin Hood Woods

In cahoots with the Sheriff is Prince John, a snivelling, ratty little individual who's the kind of person you could apply negative adjectives to all day. He likes his money, but he suffers no real consequence from his escapades; all he had to do is dress up like Maid Marion, which is something he gets a little too into.

APPEARANCES: Misadventures in Robin Hood Woods

Clock Man (Long John Baldry) is the guardian of Hoop Mountain and is a bit of a cheating dickhead. He throws hazards and trick shots and all kinds of deviousness into his trials, and cries whenever he's beaten. He sports a rad moustache.

APPEARANCES: Pursuit of the Magic Hoop

The Puzzle Wizard attempts to take over the land of Tetris by turning it's citizens into blockheads, but what he achieves by this is very questionable. Then he gets zapped by his own device and explodes.

APPEARANCES: Totally Tetrisized

The Baseball Card King is one of Mother Brain's new underlings and commands an army of evil sporting equipment that the Video Land All Stars threw away, and uses them to try and defeat the N Team. They then decide to chase after Mother Brain and her lackeys for no apparent reason.

APPEARANCES: Battle of the Baseball Know-It-Alls

Astos converts Kevin to the side of evil by hiding in the form of a monk or something, using him to train his army so they can take over the prince's kingdom. Then their demon forms are revealed by a light crystal and his attempts to stop the N Team are futile, but he's not exactly beaten.

APPEARANCES: The Fractured Fantasy of Captain N
