Kenny Loggins' "Danger Zone" is featured in two Mega Man-centric episodes, "Mega Trouble for Megaland" and "Happy Birthday, Megaman." That's just the tip of the iceberg. N Team's trip to Castlevania in the episode "The Most Dangerous Game Master" is accompanied by Michael Jackson's "Thriller." When Kevin teams up with The Adventures of Bayou Billy's eponymous hero, Creedence Clearwater Revival's "Born on the Bayou" plays. Captain N included renditions of some of the most popular songs of all time. Nobody knows for sure where the episode came from.
Ward's best guess is that NBC edited the episode on its own from pre-existing episodes - after all, as a clip show, there's not any new material - and aired "When Mother Brain Rules" as a season finale, but that's just a hunch. Other than the grainy bootlegs, there's no proof that the episode was ever made. And yet, DiC claims to have no master tape, and the episode is missing from the company's records. Copies of the episode can be found on YouTube, so it clearly aired. "When Mother Brain Rules," a clip show episode, isn't on the DVD either - although the reason for that omission is much more mysterious: according to DiC, the episode doesn't exist. The problem, according to Ward, is that Nintendo isn't exactly thrilled to revisit these old cartoon series, which were made when Nintendo of America was more focused on marketing, and wasn't as closely aligned with Nintendo of Japan as it is now.īut that's not all.
As a result, publishing the third season required a totally different license, and securing it was an uphill battle - though it did eventually get a 2007 DVD release.
