Captain N episode 8

Title- Mr. & Mrs. Mother Brain (October 28, 1989)

Games- Castlevania, Kid Icarus


Another episode where they seem a bit rash, but Lana’s going to have a talk with Mother Brain to try to establish peace. Well at least it’s in her palace rather than Mother Brain’s I guess. Kid Icarus is the only one it seems practicing in case it’s a trap, well let’s say prejudices sometimes pay off. However after a blunder by Simon, Mother Brain’s plan doesn’t go down well, Simon falls in love with Mother Brain due to a love at first sight arrow.

Before they can try to bring Simon to his senses thy learn that Castlevania’s been invaded. They decide to go there first. This is where the Count makes his best appearance, I love that part where Kevin goes "Your powers don't scare us!" The Count simply replies "I'm so happy to hear that. You know, fear makes the blood taste terrible." The Count’s bat transformation looks disgusting, basically, apart from the orange suit, The Count rocks here. Also we get to see more of Mount Icarus, it rocks too, and the fact that they have to go through all those dangers to simply get to an arrow maker makes it feel more like a game humorously. Simon shows his typical arrogance and self loving here, especially at the end.

Overall a fun episode that features two cool worlds and the Count’s finest appearance.
