Drake Redcrest appears as a character in ''[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Captain_Rainbow Captain Rainbow]'', an action-adventure game by Skip Ltd., the same studio that made the [[Chibi-Robo! (series)|''Chibi-Robo!'']] games''. ''He arrives at the main setting of the game after a meteorite damages his ship, causing him to crash-land. His wish is to finally understand the difference between justice and evil, a common theme that he struggles with in the [[Chibi-Robo! (series)|''Chibi-Robo!'' series]]. After his introduction, he jumps off the ship and gets stuck in the sand, and the player must retrieve his spaceship's core so it can help save him. Once Drake is finally rescued, he attempts to take off in his ship and ultimately crashes again, leading to him injuring his head. His personality then changes to become more whimsical and playful, possibly due to his head injury.

He then will request a game of hide & seek, and if you find all of his finding spot, he will give you the English version of his theme song, "Drake Redcrest Forever." He then finally settles at the ocean, posing philosophical questions about life and justice.
