* HilariousInHindsight:
** In the first episode, Kevin says "I've played ''VideoGame/DonkeyKong'' enough to know what I'm doing" while climbing a volcano. The actual arcade game has no such level, but the 1994 Platform/GameBoy "[[VideoGame/DonkeyKong94 remake]]" does, as does ''VideoGame/DonkeyKongCountryReturns''.
** After climbing the volcano, Kevin uses his power pad to freeze time and use a boulder to ride it high out of the area. The stasis rune ability in ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaBreathOfTheWild'' pretty much allows the same thing to happen, although some force will be needed to have it accelerate as high and fast.
** From the first episode, Kevin's TV is a Sony model. A couple years later, Creator/{{Nintendo}} and Sony were very nearly working together on a console... which would end up becoming Nintendo's competitor, the Platform/{{PlayStation}}.
** Ian James Corlett voiced arch-enemy Dr. Wily - only to voice WesternAnimation/{{Mega Man|RubySpears}} himself some years later.
*** If that weren't enough, in the episode "Once Upon a Time Machine", Corlett used a voice similar to that version of Mega Man to portray Pero, who's loosely based on the mascot for Creator/ToeiAnimation. He would later use a similar voice to become the first English voice of the [[Anime/DragonBallZ adult version of Goku]], arguably Toei's most famous character.
** In his one appearance in the series, Dracula's son Alucard was shown with light yellow, almost white hair. Several years later, when ''VideoGame/CastlevaniaSymphonyOfTheNight'' was made, Alucard was redesigned from his ''VideoGame/CastlevaniaIIIDraculasCurse'' appearance and given his now-iconic white hair.
** Reinhardt Schneider, one of the protagonists in ''VideoGame/Castlevania64'' and ''VideoGame/CastlevaniaLegacyOfDarkness'', bears some resemblance to the ''Captain N'' version of Simon Belmont. Both have blond hair and wear blue coats with fuzzy collars.
** Simon's voice actor would later go on to play a prominent vampire character in the ''Underworld'' film series.
** Donkey Kong is played by Creator/GaryChalk. It wouldn't be the [[WesternAnimation/BeastWars last]] [[WesternAnimation/BeastMachines time]] he'd play a famous gorilla.
** Speaking of Garry Chalk, he also voices King Hippo. A few years after this show ended, he would voice another dim-witted, bulgy, green minion of the main villain in a different [[WesternAnimation/AdventuresOfSonicTheHedgehog series based off of a video game]].
** Mega Man in this show doesn't look like Mega Man so much as he does [[VideoGame/MegaManII Quint]], who was Mega Man kidnapped from the future.
** Mother Brain voiced by the same man who voiced Audrey II? Consider that ''VideoGame/SuperMetroid'' had the Spore Spawn, a giant alien plant monster...
** Mother Brain's face being a stretched piece of skin connected to a brain bears more than a passing resemblance to ''Series/DoctorWho'' villain Lady Cassandra O'Brien.Δ17.
** As a MassiveMultiplayerCrossover between ''Franchise/{{Castlevania}}'', ''Franchise/DonkeyKong'', ''VideoGame/DragonQuest'', ''Franchise/FinalFantasy'', ''VideoGame/KidIcarus'', ''Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda'', ''Franchise/MegaMan'', ''Franchise/{{Metroid}}'', ''VideoGame/PunchOut'', and ''VideoGame/{{Tetris}}'', it's safe to say that ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBros'' (especially ''[[VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosUltimate Ultimate]]'') has basically become the SpiritualSuccessor to ''Captain N'':
*** Mega Man, Pit, and Simon Belmont are reunited as playable characters, bringing the ''Captain N'' cast back together for the first time in decades. [[http://tran4of3.deviantart.com/art/Reunion-377388141 This]] [[http://brawlinthefamily.keenspot.com/comic/495-comicreviewe32013/ hasn't]] [[http://zelina56.deviantart.com/art/It-s-good-to-see-you-again-377341923 gone]] [[https://twitter.com/CaptAnaugi/status/1027296010228260864 unnoticed]] [[https://knowyourmeme.com/photos/1399866-super-smash-brothers-ultimate by]] [[https://twitter.com/kiravera8/status/1027414551917207553 the fans.]] The ''Captain N'' comic books also had Samus Aran and Pit costarring together long before the release of ''[[VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosBrawl Brawl]]''.
*** Princess Lana is also [[http://www.backofthecerealbox.com/2014/02/palutena-kid-icarus-princess-lana-captain-n.html likely]] based upon Palutena, another playable character in the ''Smash'' series. This also makes the Palutena's Guidance entry on Mega Man (where Pit, Palutena, and Viridi all fanboy over him) seem pretty surreal.
*** Mother Brain is a recurring assist trophy in the ''Smash'' series. She is also one of the few assist trophies that could be fought and defeated, meaning Mega Man, Pit, and Simon Belmont can team up to battle Mother Brain for the first time in an actual video game!
*** King Hippo and Eggplant Wizard finally appear together as support spirits in ''Ultimate''. King Hippo can even be equipped to support Mother Brain (who is also available as a primary spirit), although unfortunately Eggplant Wizard requires too many slots to equip him as well.
*** The Zapper user in the Duck Hunt team also brings to mind Kevin's own iconic weapon, especially considering the 80's trappings of the user's room in their debut trailer. Even better when you realize that they've technically got an adventuring dog (hello, Duke), and the Zapper user is an outside influence (mirroring Kevin's own real-world origins).
*** In the "Breakout" comic, when Samus comes face-to-face with the convicts that she caught in her bounty hunts, she [[http://cnn.captainn.net/scans/cn4-18.jpg DESTROYS them in hand-to-hand combat]]. '''Nine years''' before Samus would actually start punching and kicking people for real in ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBros64'' and even longer before Samus would do so outside her Power Suit in ''Brawl''.
*** There are also many other classic characters who appeared in ''Captain N'' (including Donkey Kong, Link, Zelda, Ganon, Ridley, Kraid, Dr. Wily, Dracula, and Alucard) who have also made appearances in the ''Smash'' series.
** Kid Icarus being a situational weakling becomes all the more funny when you look at ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosBrawl'' onward and see how much Pit TookALevelInBadass. Taken up to eleven with ''VideoGame/KidIcarusUprising'' where his job consists of being a OneManArmy and involves him dealing with gods, aliens, and a chaos-bringing parasite. Pit's come quite a long way from shooting multi-purpose arrows at everything. Though it also becomes hilarious in the opposite way; Kid Icarus can fly without needing an Angel's Feather, the Wings of Pegasus, or Palutena/[[spoiler:Viridi]]'s Power of Flight, unlike Pit whose inability to do so is a massive sore spot.
** As we know now, ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyI'' was far from the last game in its series. But it '''was''' used for the last-ever episode of ''Captain N''.
** There was an episode involving mirror clones of the characters, including one of Kid [=Icarus/Pit=]. ''VideoGame/KidIcarusUprising'' gives us just that in the form of Dark Pit.
** A gag has Simon claim that his whip has a mind of its own. Cue ''[[VideoGame/CastlevaniaLamentOfInnocence Lament of Innocence]]'', in which the Vampire Killer whip is empowered by Sara's soul.
** In "Three Men and a Dragon," based on ''VideoGame/DragonQuestI'' Dragonlord actually looks quite a bit like Baramos from ''VideoGame/DragonQuestIII'', which had not yet been released in the US at the time.
** A series about a brunette boy with a white/red color scheme who goes in a crossover adventure throughout worlds based on various pre-existing fictional settings and is accompanied by other heroes to fight villains, both from said settings too? And features a crossover with ''Franchise/FinalFantasy''? Are we talking about ''Captain N'' or ''Franchise/KingdomHearts''? Made even funnier since [[https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ku6ZDGFArWA/WJeU_Z7xbaI/AAAAAAAAHK8/wdvaG9LTlK0D1s0sHogdYPlVYadajv4YACLcB/s1600/CapN-worlds.jpg the game worlds]] in the show are represented in a way similar to those of [[https://www.khdatabase.com/images/thumb/c/c8/World_Map_KH.png/500px-World_Map_KH.png the Disney worlds]].[[labelnote:Speaking of which...]] Made even funnier with Sora's inclusion in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, so now you can have him as a Kevin stand-in! [[/labelnote]]
** Even if both shows were produced by Creator/DiC around the same time, it's very suspicious that Princess Lana has the exact same hairstyle as Vanessa from ''WesternAnimation/CampCandy''.

Made even funnier since [[https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ku6ZDGFArWA/WJeU_Z7xbaI/AAAAAAAAHK8/wdvaG9LTlK0D1s0sHogdYPlVYadajv4YACLcB/s1600/CapN-worlds.jpg the game worlds]] in the show are represented in a way similar to those of [[https://www.khdatabase.com/images/thumb/c/c8/World_Map_KH.png/500px-World_Map_KH.png the Disney worlds]].[[labelnote:Speaking of which...]] Made even funnier with Sora’s inclusion in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, so now you can have him as a Kevin stand-in! [[/labelnote]]

* SoBadItsGood: Hilariously so. The Brazilian dub managed to get away with a lot, such as Simon sounding like he was constantly horny. It was NarmCharm at its best.

* SoBadItsGood: Hilariously so. A teenager enters the world of Nintendo games. Every character he meets - Simon Belmont, Mega Man, Pit (named Kid Icarus), [[YouDontLookLikeYou is very unlike their in-game counterpart]] and has a terrible, exaggerated personality. Mega Man is short and green and says "Mega" in almost every sentence. Kid Icarus does the same by ending most of his sentences with the suffix "-icus". Simon Belmont wears goggles and acts like a vain ladies' man. And that's just the characters. The plots aren't particularly good either. Neither is the voice acting, as Mega Man has a really gravelly voice, and Princess Lana and Kevin sound bored most of the time. The Brazilian dub managed to get away with a lot, such as Simon sounding like he was constantly horny. It was NarmCharm at its best.
