Captain N episode 27

Title- Misadventures in Robin Hood Woods (September 14, 1991)

Game- Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves

Guest Voice
Little John-Long John Baldry

Season 3 had one or two good episodes, but the rest of them were really a mess. It’s obvious that the production houses or something changed. The animation was simplified but unlike Mario world which managed to use the simplified animation to it’s advantage and in most cases, it looked aweful.

I originally didn't like this episode, but really it's not a bad episode. We get another hero other than Captain N, and Kid Icarus gets more of a starring role. He also keeps his character from before, so that's pretty good. This is actually the 3rd best episode of this season, but it's still not as good as the majority of Season 1 + 2. The Robin Hood characters are quite good, and Long John Baldry returns to voice Little John. I think he's got a great voice, and while I admit he always plays the same sort of characters and sounds pretty similar, I don't care because his voice fits all the ones he plays. Especially Robotnik.

Of the villains, the Sherrif of Nottingham was pretty average, but I must admit Prince John was funny in a campy way. Robin was ok, and so was Marion. One thing I don't get is why Robin goes up to recieve the Golden Arrow, as all we saw was Kid Icarus winning the archery contest.

Overall a pretty average start to a very poor season.
