I think there were novels based on each season. But yeah, they manage to hit all the fourth-grade buttons I had. Special Girl Is One With Nature And Especially The Dolphinwhales! Aliens! Not to mention that totally sweet Undersea Dome Of Science.

I later found out that George Takei and Mark Hamill both made appearances on Space Cases. I was absurdly pleased by that.

Don't get me started on Super Mario RPG. Holy shit it was awesome.
