Captain Rainbow (stylized as Captain★Rainbow) is a Wii adventure game released by skip Ltd. in 2008. The game was only released in Japan; a possible summer 2009 European release was mentioned in Official Nintendo Magazine[1], though this never happened. The game is notable for featuring a number of appearances and cameos from various lesser-known Nintendo characters.

Story

The story revolves around Nick, a young boy who can transform into a superhero alter-ego named "Captain Rainbow" and stars in a self-titled television show. However, the show has been suffering from declining ratings. His show no longer popular, Captain Rainbow travels to Minim Island, where he hears wishes come true, so that he can restore his popularity.

Gameplay

Captain Rainbow revolves around the player interacting with the residents of the island while trying to get their wish granted. During the main gameplay, the player must help solve the problems of the islanders. Doing so grants them Kirarin, star-shaped objects that can grant wishes. When 20 of these are collected, they form into a star that must be taken up to an alter at the top of the island while avoiding an evil shadow. When the player reaches the altar they can either grant their own wish or the wish of an islander.
