Mega Trouble for Megaland

Original air date: ??/??/89

This is the first of the three episodes that centered around the Mega Man games. It's actually part 2 of a 2 part episode. Part one is called: Videolympics.

Synopsis

After escaping the warp zone to Oblivion, the N-Team must recover the power items guarded by Medusa to free Megaland from Dr. Wily and the three sacred treasures.

Character differences

Bladers: The bladers look a lot more skull-like. They don't frown in the game either.

Beaks: They look the same. The main difference is that they fire out three shots and close. In the game, they fire four shots, one at a time.

Flying Shells: They're seen once. They don't fire in the show and don't close either. In the game, they fire 8 shots out and have to stop to fire. They're closed while moving.

Big Eye: Big Eye is about 100 feet tall! In the game he's only about double Mega Man's size. He can also look around with his main eye. In Cut Man's stage, he's purple. The show has him as blue.

Screw Bombers: These appear in the gateway to Cut Man in the game and show. Instead of shots, they fire lasers.

Ice Man: He uses an actual red gun to fire. At first he fires little icicles. Later, he makes big bars of ice appear, which block the escape. The main difference is his face. In the show it's light blue. He also has dark blue eyebrows and a moustache.

Fire Man: He's red all over. Instead of a human-like face, it's just a red head. He has a light green strip in the area where eyes are supposed to be. He has cannons instead of hands. He fires out fireballs.

Elec Man: His shades don't have a lightning bolt coming up from the middle. His head and gloves are pink and his main body is purple. He smiles a lot too. There's a lightning bolt on his main body. When we first see him, he's on the ceiling upside down and using lightning like the Emperor from Return of the Jedi. Later he just throws some electricity at Mega Man.

Bomb Man: Ok... He's green now. His boots are red, but the rest of him is green. Not too many other odd features.

Guts Man: Guts Man's main body is blue. He did less than Bomb Man. All he did was jump and get zapped.

Cut Man: Called "Cuts Man" in the show, he has a pair of golden scissor blades on his head. His main body is green and most other parts are orange. His gloves are a light green. When he uses his scissor blade, it becomes bright and leaves a trail of light. He also holds his hands like scissors from Rock, Paper, Scissors.

Medusa: This one looks like a real Medusa. The game has her as a huge eye in a wall and snakes drop down at you. I think Medusa looks better on the show.

Dr. Wily's ship: This ship is the one from Mega Man 2. It looks exactly like it. Color and all. It can even fold itself into a chair.

Intro commercial

Kevin: It's awesome video action when the N-Team goes up against an army of deadly androids, a magical monster called Medusa, and the ultimate and evil Mother Brain herself.


Narrator: In the last episode of Captain N: The Game Master, Mother Brain's obsession to conquer Videoland led her to a startling discovery...

Mother Brain: Metroid mirror on my wall, tell me how to crush them once and for all!

Metroid mirror: Hidden within Mount Icarus' towering peak, the three sacred treasures contain the power ye seek.

Narrator: Fueled by her mad craving for power, Mother Brain devised a clever plan to hold a Videolympics at Mount Icarus' Coliseum with Captain N and his N-Team versus Mother Brain's villains. Kevin and the others were led to believe the games would finally bring peace to Videoland, while in truth, the Videolympics was a trick, devised by Mother Brain, to get the three sacred treasures to she could destroy the N-Team once and for all.

Mother Brain: My power is unstoppable now! Behold! The warp zone to Oblivion! [laughs]

[At Metroid]

Mother Brain: I've done it. Captain N and the princess will never be able to find their way out of that warp. I am the supreme ruler of Videoland! [laughs]

[King Hippo and Eggplant Wizard laugh]

[At Mount Icarus]

Narrator: Meanwhile, within the deadly warp zone to Oblivion...

[The N-Team falls onto a floating platform, screaming as they fall. The platform begins moving]

Kevin: Something tells me we're about to have a nightmare on Mother Brain Street.

Mega Man: It's the mega center to our universe. Where all warp zones intersect.

Kid Icarus: Which one of these warpacus zones did we come out of?

Lana: I don't know, but the wrong one could take us to any of a hundred deadly states.

Kevin: Stay cool guys. This is your captain speaking, and I've got an idea to find a way home. Simon, you got any rope in that backpack of yours?

Simon: No, but I've got some fishing line. [Pulls out a fishing rod]

Kevin: Perfect.

[The platform has stopped at a place with several warps]

Kevin: We'll have a better chance of finding the way back if we each take a different warp zone. Whoever finds the right one, just give a tug on the line.

Mega Man: Affirmative. [Enters a warp]

Kid Icarus: Eeny, Meeny, Miny, Moeicus... This is the warp zone into which I goacus. [Enters it]

[Duke jumps to a warp, but he struggles getting into it]

Kevin: You're next, Simon.

Simon: Don't be silly. I want to make sure both of you get off safely.

Lana: That's very thoughtful of you Simon. [Simon pushes her into the warp] Whoa!

Kevin: Good luck. [Enters a warp]

Simon: Who needs luck when you have brains? I'll just hang out here until I feel a pull on my line and I won't have to risk my handsome neck.

[A pair of giant teeth arise from behind Simon]

Simon: Oh, on the other hand why worry about a neck when you've got an entire body to think of? [Enters a warp]

[Simon warps in at a jungle]

Simon: Well, this doesn't look so bad.

[Simon turns around and it's revealed that he's in a pot that's over a fire. A group of the natives are about to attack with their spears]

Simon: But that does! [He dives back into the warp]

[At a baseball stadium, Lana warps in on top of third base]

Lana: This must be the coliseum.

[The pitcher pitches, the batter hits it far]

Man by base: Run!

[Lana runs to home plate and makes it with a slide]

Umpire: Safe.

Lana: Is this the Icarus Coliseum?

Umpire: Nah. This is Yankee Stadium. [He scratches his head]

[Lana returns to the warp]

[Kid Icarus warps in on some steps]

Kid Icarus: Mount Icarus! I'm homeacus!

[He jumps out and pulls on the line]

Kid Icarus: I found it!

[Everyone else has arrived]

Lana: Where is everybody? We've only been gone a few minutes.

Mega Man: That's true for us your highness, but my mega sensors indicate a week has passed on Mount Icarus.

Kevin: One of those warp zones must have been a time warp.

Lana: Then Mother Brain's had free reign over Videoland for a week.

[Somewhere else, guards oversee people working]

Guard: Work faster! Or you'll find out there's worse places to be than Mount Mother Brain.

Lana: [shocked] Mount Mother Brain!?

Man: You've got to help us! King Hippo and the Eggplant Wizard have taken over our world. And Dr. Wily took the three sacred treasures to Megaland to conquer that world as well.

[Shot of Megaland]

Mega Man: Megaland!? That's my home. We've got to warp there mega fast.

Lana: But nothing can stop the power of the three sacred treasures.

Kid Icarus: I can, your highnicus.

Simon [laughs] You? Impossible.

Kid Icarus: Well with fire arrows, the Sacred Bow, and the Protective Crystal I most certainly canicus.

Kevin: But you'll have to get past Medusa to get them.

Kid Icarus: It's gonna be dangerous-maximus, but I must try.

Lana: Kevin and I will go with Mega Man and see if we can slow down Dr. Wily until you and Simon get the power items we need.

Simon: But Medusa's even uglier than Mother Brain. One look at her face turns a man to stone.

Kevin: Look on the bright side, Simon. You'd make a very handsome statue.

Simon: Oh yes, I would, wouldn't I?

[Simon and Kid Icarus run off, a warp zone opens on the ground and the others step into it]

Narrator: As Simon and Kid Icarus head for Medusa's Palace, Captain N and the others warp off to Megaland.

[They arrive in a laboratory]

Dr. Right: Mega Man! Well, I'm so glad you could come. And you must be Captain N. Heard a great deal about you.

Kevin: [gasps] You're the dude who built all those wicked robots: Cuts Man, Ice Man, Elec Man...

Dr. Right: And don't forget Fire Man, Guts Man, and Bomb Man. They were all quite useful, you know, until Dr. Wily reprogrammed them for his destructive ends. And now he's back again, and using the power of the three sacred treasures to take over our world.

Kevin: Don't worry, Dr. Right. The Mega Man game is my specialty. I'll zap Dr. Wily into warp factor ten.

Dr. Right: You'll have to make it past all six deadly robots to get to him. I've been working on a new robot that may be able to help you. I call him: Garbage Man. He's programmed to trash the other robots. Watch. [Camera shows the huge robot]

[Dr. Right turns on Garbage Man with a remote control. Garbage Man picks up a computer and eats it]

Dr. Right: No! Stop! That's my computer you're trashing!

Kevin: Uh, thanks Doc, but no thanks. We'll handle the situation ourselves.

[Garbage Man eats more stuff]

Dr. Right: Stop you miserable heap! Not that! Oh, not my laser welding machine!

[The N-Team runs off]

Mega Man: The mega warp to the first robot is over here.

[They stop in a chamber with some doors]

Kevin: Uh, you might wanna wait here, princess. These mega battles can get pretty hairy.

Lana: My father trained me to fight for freedom, Captain N. [She takes Kevin's zapper, twirls it, and fires it twice] I can take care of myself. [She gives the zapper back]

Kevin: A huh uh, who's arguing?

Mega Man: We'll challenge Cuts Man first.

[They run to a door, it opens and the go through it]
[At Cuts Man's stage, they teleport in]

Kevin: Whoa, that was some kind of drop.

Mega Man: Hurry! The bladers will be here any second! [Climbs the ladder, the rest follow]

Kevin: Move it, Duke!

[Duke looks up, unsure. He climbs]

[A blader flies in]

Mega Man: It's a blader! Duck!

[The blader misses. Kevin zaps it]

Kevin: Ha ha! Smoked him!

Mega Man: This way. [Climbs the next ladder] Watch out for the beaks.

[The beaks fire 3 shots from the sides of the ladder. Mega Man destroys one. Kevin gets hit and falls to the ground. Duke licks him. Everyone else climbs down]

Lana: Are you all right Kevin?

Kevin: [laughs and cracks his neck] I'm the game master. They can't hurt me. [groans]

Mega Man: But each time we get hit, we lose power. [shows his energy meter with five pink units and a black one]

[They arrive at the top, tired]

Lana: Oh... That was incredible. I can hardly believe we made it all the way through.

Kevin: We haven't.

Lana: You mean there's more?

Mega Man: We've only got a little energy left! [Energy meter is half and half]

Kevin: We're almost there. All we have to do is get past Big Eye.

Lana: After what we've been through, an eye doesn't sound like such a big deal.

[Rumbling...]

Kevin: It's not the eye I'm worried about. [Big Eye jumps forward] It's what's attached to it! Nuke 'em!

[They fire at Big Eye. Nothing happens]

Kevin: Our zappers aren't cutting it!

Mega Man: We don't have enough mega power!

[Big Eye jumps and hits Mega Man. Mega Man falls over]

Mega Man: We only got one energy unit left! One more hit and we're finished.

[Big Eye jumps on them]

{Commercial break}

[They teleport back to the beginning]

Lana: We're alive. What happened?

Kevin: We got the boot from ol' Big Eye.

Lana: You mean we have to go all the way through again?

Kevin: That's nothin'. When I first played the game I went through it fifty times before I got to Cuts Man.

Mega Man: I'm afraid this isn't the same as your game, Captain N.

Lana: What do you mean?

Kevin: What I think he means is if we get trashed two more times, we're goin' to the big trash dump in the sky.

Mega Man: We must hurry.

[Bladers enter and they fight them]

Kevin: It's deja vu time, guys. Here we go again.

[They continue fighting the bladers]

[At Mount Icarus]

Narrator: As Capatain N and the others make another attempt to get to the deadly Cuts Man, Simon and Kid Icarus make their way to a rendezvous with Medusa.

[At a temple, King Hippo and Eggplant Wizard are in a steam tub]

King Hippo: Ahh, I could grow to enjoy rulin' this world for Mother Brain, eh Eggy?

Eggplant Wizard: You said it King Hippo. There's nothing like a hot tub with a steam to make a guy feel like a new eggplant.

Kid Icarus: They're blocking the entrance to Medusa's warp zone.

Simon: Just leave everything to Simon Belmont, master of disguise.

[They walk in. Simon is dressed with a black toupee, a blue toga, and glasses. Kid Icarus is wearing a blue football helmet]

King Hippo: Hey. You must be the steam bath repair man.

[Simon nods. Kid Icarus shakes his head]

King Hippo: This bath isn't hot enough. I'm barely sweatin'.

Simon: Ah, yes. Well, we'll have it fixed for you in a jiffy, won't we Shrimpacus?

Kid Icarus: Whatever you say. Dopius Maximus.

Simon: [Hands a pipe wrench to Kid Icarus] Hold this.

[Kid Icarus falls from the weight]

Simon: Laying down on the job, huh? [gets the wrench] Tell me when it's steamy enough for you.

[King Hippo signals ok. Simon turns the valve some, steam builds up]

King Hippo: Wooh. That's hot enough.

Simon: What's that? Still too cold? [He turns it a lot. The valve falls off]

[King HIppo and Eggplant Wizard pant from the heat. The tub's water erupts. They scream and float on it]

Simon: We can use the steam as cover. Come on!

[They enter the warp]

Narrator: Meanwhile, back in Megaland, Captain N and the others have made it back through the deadly Cuts Man maze.

[Flying shells fly in. Kevin zaps one and it becomes an energy cell. Mega Man touches it and smiles]

Mega Man: Mmmm... That energy cell tasted grrreat!

Kevin: Ah, sort of like an electric cheeseburger, huh?

[Rumbling. Big Eye jumps in]

Mega Man: It's Big Eye again!

Lana: Be careful Kevin. If he flattens us, we're through.

Kevin: Don't worry, princess. I got to be game master by learning from my mistakes.

[Kevin runs forward and jumps over Big Eye. Big Eye turns around]

[Kevin runs, but sees a long drop down]

Kevin: Wow! [Faces Big Eye] Come on, you big trash-masher. Try to squash me. I dare you.

[Big Eye jumps forward. Kevin zaps him some. Big Eye jumps at Kevin to the edge, which crumbles. Kevin has used the power pad to move behind him. Kevin zaps Big Eye to help him fall. Big Eye disintegrates as he falls]

Lana: You were magnificent, Kevin [Hugs him]

Kevin: [Twirls his zapper] Ah, you really think so?

Mega Man: There's no time to waste. We've got to mega move it.

Kevin: Well, I wouldn't call hugging a princess a waste of time.

[At the final door]

Mega Man: When I open the door, we've got to run. Ready?

[They nod. Mega Man punches the door. It opens]

[They run down the hallway. Ice Man walks out and fires at them. Kevin flips forward and zaps him. Duke barks. Fire Man charges up and fires a fireball at Kevin. Duke knocks him out of the way. Kevin zaps Fire Man. Elec Man fires down from the ceiling. Kevin rolls around and zaps him. Bomb Man begins to throw a bomb]

Kevin: Hey!

[Mega Man blasts the bomb, which explodes. Kevin zaps Bomb Man. Guts Man tries to jump at Kevin, but gets zapped. They continue running. Some screw batteries fire from behind, but Kevin zaps them]

[The door opens. Cuts Man walks out]

Cuts Man: Cuts Man's the name. Cutting's my game. And I don't mean hair. [Fires his scissor blade at them. The N-Team dodges it]

Kevin: Ha ha!

[They blast Cuts Man. Nothing happens. He smiles and fires his scissor blade at Mega Man, knocking him down]

Lana: He's too powerful. We can't stop him.

Kevin: We can with a little help from man's best friend. Duke old boy, remember how you loved to bark and run circles around the gardener?

[Duke barks and nods]

Kevin: That's right. Guess what? He's the new gardener!

[Shot of Cuts Man jumping and cutting nothing with his scissor blade]

Kevin: Go get him!

[Duke runs around Cuts Man]

Cuts Man: Go away you four-legged... Whatever you are!

[The N-Team dodges the scissor blade, which returns to Cuts Man]

Kevin: Duke! Lay down!

[Duke does. The scissor blade strikes Cuts Man, destroying him]

Kevin: Good boy, Duke.

Lana: Well that wasn't so bad.

Kevin: You're right, princess. Compared to the next five robots, Cuts Man was just a wimp. [Lana looks a little scared]

{Commercial break}

[At Medusa's Palace]

Narrator: Meanwhile, back on Mount Icarus, Simon Belmont and Kid Icarus approach Medusa's Lair in search of the needed power items.

Simon: What perfectly dreadful statues. Medusa has lousy taste in art.

Kid Icarus: That's not articus! They're warriors who looked at Medusa. [They see the items] Simonius! These are the three power items we're looking for!

[Medusa laughs and casts her shadow over the items]

Kid Icarus: [puts his hands over Simon's eyes] Close your eyesacus!

Simon: What do you mean don't look? How are we supposed to get the power items if we can't look where we're going?

Kid Icarus: We'll have to wear blinders. Take off your backpackus.

[Simon does. Kid Icarus throws some stuff out of it. He gets black paint and a bucket. He puts Simon's goggles on and paints them black]

Simon: Hey! I can't see!

Kid Icarus: Good! I'll get the power items, you distracticus Medusa. Whatever you do, don't look at her. [Puts the bucket on]

Simon: What am I? An idiot?

[They walk forward. Kid Icarus walks into a statue. Medusa comes out]

Simon: Excuse me.

Medusa: Hello there, handsome. Why don't you take those goggles off and feast your eyes on me? Hmm?

Simon: Uh hmm. You don't sound very... ugly.

[Kid Icarus walks into the stand with the power items]

Medusa: I'm not ugly. You're little friend is just jealous that I'll fall for you instead of him.

Simon: Why that little sneak. Wanting you all to himself. How about giving your handsome Simon a great, big [opens his eyes] Yeowww!!!!!

[Kid Icarus walks into the Simon statue. He looks at it and runs. He trips on Simon's backpack and falls in. Medusa runs to him, laughing]

Medusa: Come out and take a look at beautiful Medusa! [laughs and grabs Kid Icarus' legs. He has the Protective Crystal in hand]

Kid Icarus: No! Stopacus! [He flips up and puts the Protective Crystal at Medusa's face]

Medusa: No!! I'm turning to stone!

[Simon turns back]

Simon: Ooh. I must be out of shape. I feel kind of stiff.

Kid Icarus: Never mindacus. We've gotta get these power items back to Megaland.

[The other statues turn back]

Warriors: Wh.. What? What happened?

Simon: You've enlisted in the army against Mother Brain. As your commanding officer, I order you to free this world!

[They cheer and run off. Simon and Kid Icarus enter the warp on the ceiling]

Narrator: As Simon and company warp off to Megaland, Captain N and the others arrive at Dr. Wily's secret command center...

[They zap through the door]

Dr. Wily: I've been expecting you Captain [wheezes] N. Congratulations on nearly destroying [wheezes] my deadly androids.

Lana: But we did destroy them.

Dr. Wily: I'm afraid not, your highness. You see... The three sacred treasures have given me [wheezes] unlimited power.

[N-Team gasps]

Dr. Wily: I have more than enough to revive my little family. [pushes some buttons. A door opens with all six of them] Destroy Captain N!

[They all run out, yelling]

Mega Man: We'd better make a mega retreat!

Ice Man: Ah! [Fires and makes ice bars block the way]

Lana: So much for that idea.

Kevin: Oh man. What I wouldn't give to be able to press my reset button.

[Elec Man zaps Mega Man, knocking him down]

Mega Man: Ah!

[Fire Man fires a fireball at the N-Team. They dodge it and it hits the ice bars, making them rain]

[The robots all walk forward at them. Simon and Kid Icarus warp in, in front of them]

Simon: Have no fear, Simon Belmont is here.

Dr. Wily: [grumbles] Pulverize that stupid vampire hunter!

[Fire Man fires at Simon. Simon absorbs it with the Protective Crystal]

Simon: Phew. Am I glad that worked.

Lana: Kid Icarus, quick! Shoot the fire arrow at the three sacred treasures.

[Kid Icarus fires, but it's too low. The arrow bounces around. It almost hits Wily and Simon]

Simon: Hey!

Kid Icarus Oh, darnicus! That's the only fire arrow and I missed!

Lana: Not yet. [Reflects the arrow off her crown, sending it at the treasures. They explode]

Robot masters: Ah, ahhh!!! [They all explode into dots]

[The N-Team walks to Wily]

Dr. Wily: [surprised look] You're finished now, Captain N! [His seat folds into a ship and it powers up]

Lana: He's going to ram us! [All but Kevin run to the side]

Kevin: Not if I have one word to say about it, and I do. Pause! [Presses pause]

[Wily's ship stops, making a brake sound]

Kevin: [pushing buttons] A little mid-course correction should do the trick. [Pause stops]

[Wily's ship flies out of control, out through some walls. Wily screams the whole time]

[At Mount Icarus]

Warriors: One, two, three! [They throw King Hippo and Eggplant Wizard into a warp. They yell]

[At Metroid]

Mother Brain: Pretty soon, I'll be princess of all Videoland. Then everyone will be kneeling before this beautiful brain.

[Her minions fall in]
[Kevin and Lana appear on the mirror]

Lana: Say hello to your loyal subjects, princess Mother Brain.

Kevin: Game over. You lose. [The mirror image turns off]

Mother Brain: Idiots! You've ruined everything!

[She zaps them and they run, but keep getting zapped]
