DIC created two seasons of the animated show which ran from 1993-1994. The arrogant Simon battled Mother Brain’s evil forces with the aid of fellow good guys Kid Icarus, Mega Man, Game Boy, and Kevin Keene, the show’s main character.ĭouble Dragon eventually did become a cartoon of its own. Two characters from Metroid and Castlevania, Simon Belmont and Mother Brain, did find their way into a DIC-produced show in Captain N: The Game Master. It would have apparently featured two boys, not a whip-cracking Belmont, in the starring role, facing off against the Mummy Man, Queen Medusa, The Count, Frankenstein, and Grim Reaper from the original Castlevania. NintendoĭIC took great liberties with its proposed Castlevania cartoon as well. It’s forgivable though, since Nintendo’s own NES manual for Metroid implies that Samus is a man. The proposed Metroid cartoon was apparently envisioned by someone who hadn’t consulted the game’s creators or played the game to completion to discover that Samus is a woman. (DIC also had a companion show for the Super Show planned at one point called King Koopa’s Kool Kartoons, according to an article uncovered by Twitter user Ryan Mead.) That 60-minute block of cartoons ultimately wasn’t picked up - the 30-minute Super Mario Bros. Power Hour, a planned hourlong animation block that would have featured segments based on Super Mario Bros., Zelda, Metroid, Castlevania, Double Dragon, and California Games. Ostensibly, the artwork was made to promote the Super Mario Bros.
