'''''Captain Rainbow''''' is a [[Nintendo]] title developed by the same people who brought you [[Chibi-Robo!]]. It appears to borrow heavily from Clover Studio's games, especially [[Viewtiful Joe]].
 
The main character is Nick, a television [[Tokusatsu]] action hero whose popularity is waning. To renew his vigor, he goes to the magical Minmin Island where wishes are granted. There he finds a host of obscure and forgotten Nintendo characters, [[Not as You Know Them|most of them down on their luck]] and seeking to have their wishes granted as well. Nick transforms into Captain Rainbow and uses his Yo-Yo and stylish action moves to solve puzzles and help out the islanders.

* [[Not as You Know Them]]: Everyone's down on their luck, but [[Punch -Out!!|Little Mac]] has really let himself go.
* [[Spiritual Successor]]: To ''[[Chibi-Robo!]],'' Skip's other franchise--even though that one has an ACTUAL sequel.
* [[Wholesome Crossdresser]]: Birdo, who is very clearly a female transgendered dinosaur in this game.
** [[TranssexualTranssexualism]]: As said she's transgendered. Though as hinted in the Mario games she may be post-op.
