Intro to Honey the Bug (Bug-tte Honey), a 1986-87 anime based on Adventure Island, and featuring a character based on Takahashi Meijin. Apparently it was localized… somewhere… as Honey Bee in Toycomland.

According to TMS’s description, the show follows Honey Bee and three real-world game masters as they attempt to rescue “Genjin (Caveman) Takahashi” from Kyura-the-Great.

This show was evidently popular enough to be spun off into its own Famicom game, also called Bug-tte Honey. It’s pretty much unrecognizable as bearing any relation to Adventure Island:
