Perhaps, but like I said... Captain N was never about making an accurate show, as it was just making a silly adventure gag cartoon with video game characters in it. The sheer nonsensical mishmash of reference material use they had was just insane, nevermind that character designer Fil Barlow revealed all his earliest drafts were based on interpretting blurry sprites from the games he played himself on his australian CRT.

Heck, want a great example of how completely fucked this show was in terms of ever getting provided reference materials was? Videolympics shows it perfectly.

As you might recall, the plot of the episode is Mother Brain cheating her way through the Videolympic games at the video game world Kid Icarus is from so she can obtain the Three Sacred Treasures: the collectable macguffins of Kid Icarus itself. When the treasures are obtained, they're drawn EXACTLY as they appear in game/manual: an oblong treasure chest. By episode's end, Mother Brain obtains all three, and the treasure chests open, but we never SEE the contents: just a nebulous glowing "power" that enables her to do what she wants.
