The Simon Belmont cartoon series was a unique and fascinating part of Saturday morning television in the 1990s. The show, which aired on NBC, followed the adventures of Simon Belmont, a character from the popular Konami video game series Castlevania.

In its final season, the show began to experience some significant changes. After the episode 'When Mother Brain Rules,' which served as a clip show summarizing the first two seasons, the show underwent a major transformation. The next episodes were animated by Spectrum Animation instead of the usual studio, and the show's budget was significantly reduced due to the popularity of other NBC shows like Saved by the Bell.

One notable episode from this season is 'Viroid,' which features Simon Belmont struggling with a video virus that he contracted after touching a strange rock in Kongoland. The main antagonist of the episode, Viroid, is a fascinating character who uses its minion Cell to try and take over Videoland. In order to defeat Viroid, the N Team must use one of Kid Icarus' shrinking arrows to travel inside the virus's body and fight it from within.

Meanwhile, Duke and Gameboy venture into Faxanadu, a world that is home to the mysterious elixir that could cure Kevin's virus infection. This episode has some interesting parallels with another show episode, 'The Feud of Faxanadu,' which also features the world of Faxanadu and a minor character who is intimidated by the main villain.

Overall, the Simon Belmont cartoon series may not be as well-known as other shows from the 1990s, but it still has its own unique charm and nostalgic value for fans of the Castlevania franchise.
