The N Team is playing a shooting game, while Mother Brain, King Hippo, and
Eggplant Wizard watch on Metroid. The game ends, and they're about to go back
to the Palace, when the Warp Wagon is pulled down to the world of Tetris by a
powerful force. Mother Brain sends Hippo and Eggy to Tetris to find the
source of that power, so she can get it for herself. It turns out that on
Tetris, everything is square- and cubed-shaped. The N Team is greeted by
Mayor Squaresly, who declares today "Her Royal Roundness Day". The people of
Tetris love holidays! The mayor takes the N Team to CUBIES, "home of
the best square meal in town", where they meet Lyle, Lana's clumsy older
brother. The two siblings hadn't seen each other for two years. Lyle's been
on Tetris all this time, and doesn't even know that his father is missing.
He's a Keeper of the Sacred Square. The Sacred Square is the powerful force
that pulled down the Warp Wagon. According to legend, the Square is so
powerful that it build the entire world of Tetris. Lyle thinks he's a loser,
however, and believes Lana feels the same way about him. The N Team tries to
train Lyle as a fighter to boost his self-confidence. It starts to work. King
Hippo and Eggplant Wizard have been trying, without success, to get Lyle's
key so they can get to the Square. Lyle locks it in a safe in his apartment.
He then informs Lana that he's going to take his rightful place as Ruler of
Videoland. She doesn't say anything to his face, but he overhears her talking
about how she doesn't think he's responsible enough to be a leader. When
Hippo and Eggy steal the key, Lyle tries to stop them in order to prove
himself, but they get away. The N Team, except for Gameboy, goes after them.
Mother Brain gets the Square, but removing it will cause all of Tetris to
fall apart. Lyle and Gameboy come to the rescue. Lyle spills a black
substance over Mother Brain just as she's about to warp back to Metroid.
Kevin kicks the Square away, which Lyle catches. Later on, Lana offers to let
Lyle rule Videoland with her. Lyle declines, realizing that the people of
Tetris need him, and he remains a Keeper of the Sacred Square.

Featured song: "Wild Ride"
Dr. Wily goes to Kongoland to extract sap from trees. He uses it to make
special hypnotic ink. Whoever read anything printed with the ink would be
turned into a zombie whenever the words "MOTHER BRAIN IS YOUR MASTER"
appeared in the text, and would have to obey Mother Brain's every command.
Dr. Wily began taking over everyone on News World. A week later, the
paperboy, Julio, summons the N Team to investigate. At first they're
skeptical, but when Julio's mom gets turned into a zombie and tries to kill
Kevin, they believe the story. Mother Brain finds out the hypnotic ink will
also let her control machines. The N Team finds King Hippo and the Eggplant
Wizard at the Daily Sun. Kid Icarus shoots them with love arrows, and the two
servants spill the beans on Mother Brain's plan: to take over Videoland using
the ink. Eggy also tells them the antidote: the sap of another tree on
Kongoland. It turns out Julio hasn't turned into a zombie because he can't
read. He's been skipping school to earn extra money on his paper route,
because his dad lost his job. Lana teaches Julio to read and tells him the
plan on how to dezombify everyone. They're going to print the word "AWAKE" on
the headline using the new ink. Gameboy finds the sap, the ink is made, and
the papers are printed. Unfortunately, everyone except Kevin, Gameboy, and
Julio get turned into zombies and chase them as they deliver the papers. King
Hippo and Eggplant Wizard are after them also. Kevin is surrounded, but Julio
spells AWAKE on a huge sign. The N Team turns back to normal. Julio makes his
final delivery for the day, dezombifying his mom. She invites the N Team in
for dinner, and Julio's dad talks about his new job, then helps Julio catch
up on his reading.

Featured song: "Frustrated" (a parody of "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction")
Kevin returns from Kongoland with a strange rock. Simon starts twirling it
like a basketball, and it gives off a bright flash. Kevin ends up with blue
strips on his face, and he swallowed his gum. Dr. Right is called to the
Palace, and he says that Kevin has been bitten by a video virus. Kevin falls
asleep, and inside Kevin's body, his life force does battle with Viroid.
Because Kevin isn't from Videoland, his body doesn't know how to fight off
the video virus. Lana sends out a message to all of Videoland begging people
to contact her if they can help. Lana decides, from a statement made by
Simon, to fight the virus from inside Kevin's body. Dr. Right gives Lana a
map of Kevin's body and a videocom to contact him. Kid Icarus uses his
special shrinking arrow to make Lana, Simon, Mega Man, and himself small
enough. They enter Kevin's body through his right ear, but miss the shortest
route to his heart, which is where Viroid has established his stronghold.
They end up in the stomach, and Simon lands in Kevin's gum! Meanwhile, Viroid
has sent stomach acid into Kevin's stomach, so Lana and the others will be
digested. Mega Man chews some of Kevin's gum and blows it big enough to lift
them out of the stomach. Lana drops the videocom, however. Viroid, upset, has
the Fat Cells attack. Meanwhile, Dr. Right receives a call from King Melvis
of Faxanadu. There is a magic elixir that is said to cure all evil. It was
stolen long ago by the dwarves. Duke and Gameboy go to Faxanadu to find it.
Lana and the others give the Fat Cells a workout, and they run out of fat and
leave. Viroid has the Germ Squad released. They capture the N Team and bring
them to Viroid. They convince Viroid (and Kevin) that they've given up the
rescue attempt, and only want to save themselves. Convinced, Viroid lets them
go. Then, the N Team returns. Lana rescues Kevin's lifeforce, and the rest of
them defeat the Germ Squad. Viroid fires at Lana, but she deflects the blast
with Simon's mirror. Viroid is destroyed, but the effects of the shrinking
arrow begin to wear off, so the N Team is forced to leave Kevin's body. Kevin
assures them that they'll always be his Videoland family. Meanwhile, Gameboy
and Duke find the elixir and bring it back to the Palace. Kevin sneezed the N
Team out of his body, and they grow back to full size. Dr. Right hooks up the
elixir to Gameboy and Kevin. They need to input Kevin's Magic Mantra in order
to use the elixir, but no one knows it because they never had to use it
before. Lana thinks she knows it and types in the word FAMILY. Kevin's life
force is restored to full, and he wakes up. Everyone cheers. Kevin had no
idea what's going on and thinks he had a weird dream. Then he sneezes out one
of the feathers from Simon's coat and says: "At least, I think it
was a dream!"

Meanwhile, Maid Marian, a prisoner of the Sheriff and Prince John, overhears
them plotting to capture Robin at the tournament. They believe that even if
he comes in disguise, whoever wins must be Robin. At the tournament, Prince
John sits on the throne, disguised as Maid Marian. Kid Icarus and the Sheriff
are the final two contestants. Kid Icarus hits the bulls-eye, but the Sheriff
steals his buzzsaw arrow, gets a bullseye, splitting Kid Icarus' arrow in
half, and wins the tournament. When Robin goes up to "Maid Marian" and asks
for the prize and a kiss, Prince John reveals himself and has his guards
seize Robin. Kevin jumps to his rescue, but the Sheriff points out Maid
Marian, standing on the balcony of the tower where she's being held, and
demands that everyone at the tournament surrenders to him. Robin offers
himself in exchange for Marian. Marian cries out in protest and falls off the
balcony. Kid Icarus grabs the golden arrow and shoots Maid Marian. The arrow
forms a bubble around her, and she floats safely down into Robin's arms, much
to the Sheriff's annoyance. Later on, Kid Icarus is officially inducted into
the Merry Men, and becomes known as Archer Icarus.

Kevin, Lana, and Duke are on the wacky world of Hoopland on Hoop-De-Doo-Dah
Day, when the magic hoop comes out of Hoop Mountain, and anyone that sinks a
basketball through it will be granted one wish. Kevin says after he'll wish
Lana's father home for her. Lana has been practicing to take a shot herself,
but she accidentally hits Duke with her basketball, who gets dizzy! Kevin is
surprised and excited when Larry Bird shows up for the contest. There is a
boy named Hoopless that is short, so he can't play basketball, like everyone
else, but he's a brilliant scientist who invented everything on Hoopland. He
activates his new robot, Rebound, in his laboratory. Rebound is trying to
make a shot, but he jumps too high and hits his head on the ceiling. His eyes
turn from yellow to red, and he becomes evil. Hoopless corrects it, and then
he and Rebound go outside. Hoopless wants Rebound to jump, sink the ball in
the magic hoop, and then wish him tall like everyone else. Larry, Kevin, and
Lana are about to throw their basketballs in the hoop, but Rebound beats them
to it. The robot messes up the wish, however, and wished himself tall! He
grows taller than a building, and his head hits a girder, turning him evil
again. Hoopless begs Kevin to stop Rebound. Kevin wants to shoot Rebound,
but Hoopless begs him not to. In order to stop Rebound, Kevin and the others
go to Hoop Mountain to find the magic hoop and make another wish. First they
have to sink a basketball into a hoop on the other side of a canyon that's
forty feet across. Kevin throws his ball, which is about to fall into the
canyon, but Larry throws his ball, which hits Kevin's and pushes the Game
Master's ball up and through the hoop. A warp bridge opens, and they end up
inside Hoop Mountain. Clockman, the guardian of the magic hoop, throws
different challenges at them that they have to beat if they wanna get to the
magic hoop. First they have to sink a basketball through a hoop while
avoiding hoop-shooting bats that multiply when shot. Larry finally sinks
Lana's basketball through the hoop. Their next challenge is to face the Hole
Thing, a creature that shoots holes, and sink the ball again. Duke, who
sniffs a hole, accidentally falls in. Hoopless also falls in, too, but Kevin
saves him. Once again, Larry scores. Kevin promises Duke he'll come back for
him. Next they have to pick one of two hoops that are offered. One leads to
the magic hoop. Kevin suggests tossing a coin to decide, but Larry tries the
hoop on the right. A bubble forms around him, trapping him inside. Kevin and
the others use the hoop on the left and go to the magic hoop. Kevin throws
the ball, but a shield forms around the magic hoop, and the ball bounces off
and back at them. Kevin runs up to the hoop and gets trapped inside the
shield. Lana takes a shot and sinks the ball through the hoop. Clockman
begins to cry because he always wins. Kevin is freed, and Larry and Duke
come through a warp and join them. Kevin hugs Lana and lifts her up. He says
if Lana wishes her father back home, he'll understand. But Lana says
she wouldn't, and neither would her father. She wishes Rebound back
to normal. Hoopless apologizes for causing so much trouble, but Larry says
it's the people of Hoopland who should apologize to Hoopless for taking him
for granted. Hoopless and Rebound hug, and Kevin and Lana smile, thinking
it's adorable.

Kevin and Simon go to Castlevania to attend The Simon Belmont Awards, where
Simon is going to be honored for being a hero like his great-grandfather,
Trevor Belmont. The Poltergeist King appears on stage, where Simon expects
to be presented with the weapons his ancestor made famous. Instead, the King
calls Trevor a coward, and accuses him of stealing the credit after the King
defeated the Count. He curses the Belmont family with a thousand years of
shame. He then disappears, taking the weapons with him. The audience begins
booing Simon and throwing food at him. Simon escapes by running into a warp.
It turns out that the Count was impersonating the King. With Simon no longer
considered a hero, the Count could easily take over Castlevania. Igor, a
small winged creature sitting on top of the King's staff, warns the Count
that the real Poltergeist King was escaping from the tower where he
was being held captive. He was climbing down a bedsheet. The Count flies up
and uses the King's magic staff to set the "rope" on fire. The King climbs
back up to the window he came out of. Alucard, the Count's son, comes by on
his bat-shaped skateboard to show his dad a new trick. The Count is mad at
Alucard, because he was supposed to be watching the King. He tells
his son to get out of his castle. After looking for Simon in every dungeon
in town, Kevin finds Simon in the graveyard on the other side of
Castlevania. Simon was at Trevor's grave. It's the only place he dared show
his face. He sits on another grave and awakens an old wizard from his sleep,
who at first mistakes Simon for Trevor. He says a braver man never lived,
and that he helped Trevor defeat the Count 100 years ago. Kevin says they
have to find the Poltergeist King and hear the whole story. The old wizard
accidentally casts the wrong spell and brings a Skull Knight to life! Simon
is too upset to notice it, however. Kevin zaps it, and one of the horns
bonks the wizard on the head, causing him to remember a spell. He freezes
the Skull Knight, which crumbles. Simon then turns around to see what's
going on. The Count is watching all of this using a ring. When Simon, Kevin,
and the old wizard warp into the Poltergeist King's cave, the "King" is
outraged at Simon's presence. Kevin fires at a spike, and water comes
gushing out. The Count then turns back into his true form. He sends spikes
down from the ceiling, his "Belmont Bashers", to crush them, and then
leaves. The old wizard again chants the wrong spell, warping himself out of
there. Then Alucard comes by, destroys the spikes, introduces himself, and
insists that he's on their side. The Count is hiding, hearing all of this,
and can't believes his own son's a traitor. When Simon, Alucard, and Kevin
warp into the Count's room, the Count warps there as well. During the
battle, Alucard helps his dad. Simon knocks the magic staff out of the
Count's hand. The Count goes to get it, while Alucard holds Kevin and Simon
off. Simon swings towards the Count using his whip, and knocks him away
before he can get the staff. Kevin takes care of Alucard. Later, at The
Simon Belmont Awards, the audience is falling asleep (the Poltergeist King
is already asleep) from Simon's long, boring speech as he accepts
Trevor's weapons. The old wizard casts a spell, tying Simon up with bandages
like a mummy so he can't talk. Kevin and the audience crack up laughing.

Featured song: "Together"
Kevin, Lana, Mega Man, and Kid Icarus visit the medieval world of Final
Fantasy to have lunch with Lana's friend, the Prince - something Kevin is
not looking forward to! They hear a cry for help, and a man tells
them his magic shop was just robbed. He knows Astost, a man they
don't wanna know, is behind this. A warp opens, and a witch flies out
on her broom. She flies into Kid Icarus, and they both crash to the ground.
When Kevin asks if he can help her, she reads off her shopping list. Lana
says they better hurry to the Prince's castle, but Kevin would rather be
fighting crooks. A man is hiding behind a tree and hears that Captain N is
visiting the Prince. Kevin is tired of hearing about the Prince's battles,
and goes into another room to get something to drink. The man is there, and
he says that Kevin could be better than the Prince. The man casts a spell on
Kevin, and tells him to put a sleeping potion in the Prince's drink. Kevin
does it, and the Prince falls asleep - right in his soup! Mega Man finds out
Kevin's under a magic spell, but doesn't know how. A warp opens, and the man
is standing there. Kevin joins him, and the warp closes. Lana and the others
warp to where the witch lives, and land in quicksand. Lana takes in a
mouthful and has to spit it out! Kid Icarus uses his rope arrow to get them
out, but then the witch finds them and tells them not to move. Lana
introduces herself, and the witch turns her into a statue. Then the witch
recognizes Mega Man and Kid Icarus, and she turns Lana back to normal. After
learning about the spell placed on Kevin, the witch says that the light
crystal would break it. Anyone that looked through it would see people for
who they really are. But Astost stole the crystal from her years ago. Lana
says they have to sneak into his castle. At Astost's castle, Kevin is
training the warriors. Mega Man and Kid Icarus hide in a suit of armor and
pretend to be a warrior looking to join the army. They keep Astost busy
while Lana sneaks into the castle. Astost takes the new warrior into the
room with the light crystal to guard it. Mega Man and Kid Icarus fall over,
however, and are discovered. Kid Icarus grabs the crystal, and they start
throwing it. A guard catches it - and the guard turns out to be Lana. Lana
activates the crystal, and the spell on Kevin is broken. Astost is revealed
to be a horrible monster. Kevin's wondering what's going on, and they get
out of the castle. At the Prince's castle, the witch gives the Prince a
potion to wake him up, and the Prince is unaware that anything happened,
asking what's for dessert. Kevin says he's learned his lesson, and Lana
kisses him on the cheek.

I can't say that the information in this episode guide is accurate. I need the original air order and original air dates for all of the episodes from a verifiable source (meaning old VHS tapes) and other information.
