History
Captain Square is the main character of his eponymous video game, Captain Square, which Cube has the chance to play. In the game, the player controls Captain Square as he travels across all eight planets of the solar system (and Pluto), fighting all manner of alien creatures along the way. Upon beating the game's final stage, Captain Square removes his visor and grins at the player as the credits roll, before flying off into the cosmos.
Later, when the Captain Square arcade cabinet is used by Cube as an access point to interface with OD-10, the game is corrupted and the Captain is replaced with Cube.
Gameplay
Strategy
Captain Square is only playable during the Captain Square minigame. He has a varied arsenal of abilities that each can use to great advantage during the nine stages of the game. However, Captain Square is still quite vulnerable to the powerful enemies he will face, so strategy is needed in order to beat every stage.
Captain Square cannot level up or increase his stats in any way. However, information about his stat growth rates is still present in the game's data.
