Re: Captain N: The Game Master Missing Episodes?
Normally, I'd be very upset over missing seven episodes. I skipped The Tick's first season because of one missing episode, so the following defense isn't from some kind of "everything's cool, man" hippy...
Technically, the last seven episodes weren't part of the same series. The first year, Captain N was a 30-minute stand-alone show with 13 episodes. The second year, while the network promoted the show as part of a "Captain N and the Adventures of Super Mario Bros 3" hour, the show continued to be a 30-minute stand alone show (this time with 14 episodes). The next year, however, the show dropped to 15-minutes with production actually combining the show with Super Mario World.
This DVD collection includes 26 of the 27 half-hour episode (the missing one being a clip show that contributed nothing original). The seven 15-minute episodes were produced under a different name "Captain N and the New Super Mario World" and will likely be released on DVD as such. I predict Shout will release "The Adventures of Super Mario Bros 3: The Complete Series" (I always hated that name) later this year and we'll see "Captain N and the New Super Mario World: The Complete Series" sometime early next year.
In other regions, Australia specifically, it was handled this way as well. SMB3 was released as its own series without any mention of Captain N, but SMW came out with the final episodes of Captain N included. For anyone interested in importing, the seven Captain N episodes are on Super Mario World Volume 1 & Volume 2. You'll need Volume 3 as well if you want the rest of the Mario episodes.
