Captain N: The Game Master (2020s Series)/Characters

This page contains a list of the many, many characters who appear in Captain N: The Game Master (2020s Series).

Kevin Keene/Captain N
The central protagonist of the series, a teenage boy from Northridge, Los Angeles, California who is pulled into the alternate world via the organic PAK. A orphan who lives with his unnamed Nintendo-employed uncle, he was intrigued by the organic PAK prototype his uncle brought home on night, and began to play with it despite his uncle's warnings. When he attempted to use it with a old NES he had found in the attic (after a failed attempt at emulating the PAK onto his computer), it exploded into a vortex, where a hand reached out and grabbed him, pulling him in and transporting him to the alternate dimension made of video games. After being saved from Mother Brain's troops by Sonic, he was brought to the Hyrule Castle, where he was officially appointed as the prophesised hero Captain N by Princess Zelda due to his appearance from another world and appearing with gadgets similar to video game hardware.

A reluctant hero, Kevin spends most of his time concerned on how, and if, he will return home, as well as his situation - unlike the other characters, he cannot respawn if killed unless he collects special items, cursing him with a limited amount of lives. Despite this, he has a kind and friendly personality, and is quick to stand by his friends when needed. He is able to use a variety of different "N-Tech" gadgets based on various video game hardware and items, and can utilize special powers once he is taught how to.

He is voiced by Yuri Lowenthal.

Game Boy
A robot resembling a humanoid Game Boy handheld console who serves as Captain N's personal assistant and bodyguard.

He is voiced by Frank Welker.

Captain N's Pokémon
Various Pokémon caught and employed by Captain N over the course of his adventures.
 * Bud: A Bulbasaur given to Captain N by the inhabitants of Viridian City after he successfully defended the city from one of Mother Brain's attacks. Loyal to Captain N, she has a calm and headstrong personality. She later evolved into a Venusaur while defending her trainer from Sephiroth.
 * Croc:

Mega Man
The protagonist of the Mega Man franchise, Rock "Mega Man" Light is a combat android resembling a young child created by the genius robotics scientist Dr. Thomas Light to defend his home dimension and battle the mad scientist Dr. Wily.

Mother Brain
The primary and most recurring antagonist of the series, Mother Brain is the leader of the Space Pirates and the most predominant threat to Kevin and his friends. Originally a Chozo organic supercomputer, she rebelled against them and lead a mass genocide upon the species, leaving Samus, a human orphan raised by the Chozo, as the only survivor. Recently, following Kevin's appearance from another dimension, Mother Brain became interested in capturing him and using his powers and N-Tech to help her dominate both universes. Compared to other adaptations, she much closer resembles her appearance in the original Metroid than her Super Metroid appearance that retroactively became her canon appearance, having two eyes, a mouth, and a pair of sharp tusk-like fangs, while also having the increased brain mass and spikes of her Super Metroid appearance and a more organic structure than her main appearances.

Mother Brain, while extremely intelligent and a major threat to the universe, also has a very bombastic, arrogant, and immature personality with a tendency to talk trash about her enemies, resulting in her providing a good deal of comic relief to the series. While typically confined to a life support tank, she is shown to have immense intelligence, as well as psychic powers and prehensible tentacles that can deliver electrical shocks.

She is voiced by Vic Mignogna doing an impression of the late Levi Stubbs, who voiced Mother Brain in the original 1989 Captain N: The Game Master show.

Ridley
Samus's arch-nemesis and one of Mother Brain's main enforcers, Ridley is a intelligent, sadistic pterodactyl-like alien with the ability to fly, breathe plasma, and use his martial arts skills and sharp claws and teeth in combat. He was personally responsible for spearheading the attack upon the space colony that the young Samus lived on, killing her parents in front of her and resulting her being adopted by the Chozo after they discovered the remains of the colony. Physically, Ridley appears similar to his Super Metroid appearance with a more muscular and human-like body, as well as longer wings and more pronounced bipedalism than he is shown with in the games.

Possessing a love of causing destruction, chaos and death, Ridley is a sadist with a dark and tasteless sense of humour and a complete distaste for human life, viewing them as inferior. Unlike his incarnations in the games and manga, he is shown to not be incapable of compassion, love and honour. Most notably, he was genuinely close with his deceased partner, Kraid, and was incredibly saddened by his death at Samus's hand, and has a very close relationship with Kraid's daughter Kraida, who he met at Kraid's funeral.

He is voiced by Vic Mignogna.

King Bowser Koopa Sr.
Mario's arch-nemesis, the ruler of the Koopa Kingdom.

 * Wendy O. Koopa: The second-oldest and only female Koopaling, aged 16.
 * Morton Koopa Jr.: The third-oldest Koopaling, aged 15, and the only Koopaling to not be a biological child of Bowser. He was the son of Morton Koopa, a trusted general of Bowser who died alongside Morton Jr.'s mother in battle due to a bad decision by Bowser. Traumatised and remorseful, Bowser adopted the infant Morton Jr. to try to make up for his mistake.
 * Iggy Koopa: The older twin brother of Lemmy Koopa and the middle child of the Koopalings, aged 13.
 * Lemmy Koopa: The younger twin brother of Iggy Koopa and also the middle child of the Koopalings, aged 13.

Katherine "Kate" Keene/Captain N II
The future daughter of Kevin Keene and a unknown woman, who typically appears in the episodes that involve time travel. Apparently having been born in the video game dimension and having never ventured to the real world, which she finds boring, Kate is a much more introverted individual compared to her father, being more professional and courteous in combat as opposed to Kevin's much more over-the-top actions. Shown to be a better fighter than Kevin and equipped with more advanced devices, namely her unique Armor Shifter, Kate typically displays an arrogant, competitive and uptight personality, but as shown on numerous occasions, she is also a very lonely girl who desperately wants to impress her father, who she admits she has very little interaction with in her present time.

She is voiced by Cherami Leigh.

Game Boy Advance
