An unappreciated spandex-wearing TV superhero named Captain Rainbow isn't feeling the love. The kids flock to Iron Man (well, it looks like Iron Man) but they're just not into Rainbow. With little chance of boosting his ratings in his current state, the Captain reverts to his Hawaiian shirt wearing alter-ego Nick and sails off to an island where he'll find salvation.
While sailing on a rickety raft made of four logs, Nick spots a rabbit-like creature on the waves and decides to save it from certain demise. Soon after changing into Captain Rainbow, Nick dives into the surf and subsequently flounders. In the process of the botched rescue attempt, Nick loses his Captain Rainbow belt and washes ashore Mimin Island. It's an inauspicious start and perhaps a harbinger of things to come.
Nintendo's latest adventure game hails from Skip, the team that brought Giftpia and Chibi-Robo to the world. Prior to that, members of Skip also developed Moon, Lack of Love, and Chulip. Similar to those earlier games, Captain Rainbow is quirky. Early in the game, Nick will run into Catherine (aka Birdo) from Super Mario Bros 2 and Doki Doki Panic who's been imprisoned in a cage. «NCS Game Notes»
