You will probably find it will work better if you have your Cave Story folder outside of the Program Files folders.

I feel that the answer to that is simple: Curly was trying to flee the island, and failed (or maybe was on her way to Quote, who knows). Quote was going back to rescue Curly. Hell B1 is not something you can do in reverse. For Quote he wanted to go back into the island, but last cave was...

The hell narration can't be from Ballos, Misery, or Jenka, since they don't refer to themselves in the third person. The ghost dog couldn't be saying any of this to Quote, since he acts like Quote never heard any of that info. That leaves Balrog, who doesn't talk like that (though you would need...

I would just use a tool like CopyFilenames to copy the names of the files to your clipboard if on Windows and then paste into notepad. If on Linux then just copy the files and paste into a text file, then remove everything except the filename using search and replace. Change filename.org to...

The floating island thing is a common trope in sci-fi and fantasy. It is in no way exclusive to the Sonic franchise. Secondly... I suspect that the outer wall ghost cat was based on a teru teru bozu combined with a cat.

I've seen plenty of authors create AU stories. As in what ifs, or same characters in a different setting. For instance the Sacrificial Princess and the King of Beasts manga has two side stories running in the back of the volumes (one chapter per volume), one being a story where the races of the...

The song for this stage was written in 2002, so this is probably Pixel taking a map from the beta and reworking it. Since we don't know what parts are new and what parts are old, we can't really judge whether it is canon. Though if we were to assume it was canon then it doesn't really fit in...

I do have a solution for this on the troubleshooting page of the tribute site: https://www.cavestory.org/game-info/troubleshooting.php#bug11

Generally it is not something implemented to prevent save tampering, but rather to prevent save corruption. I've seen save checksums used for Gameboy games, and that never stopped anyone from cheating using a Gameshark. It's just a data integrity check. As for why this port and not any others...

Is this in the form of mojibake, or is it placeholder characters like □ or �?

How the hell is this brain numbing excuse for a thread still going a year later? I think it's time to nip this in the bud.

Well I've added Genderfluid and Plural to the dropdown, and a Gender Notes field, both in the user profile and in the post header (only if said field isn't empty mind you). Hopefully this is sufficient.

Also an NpcGuest fan.

Switching it to text input might break existing data, not sure. But I can definitely add new options to the field. Can someone more knowledgeable than me about this stuff come up with a list I can use for a dropdown? In the meantime I've added "non-binary" as an option.

I doubt Sue was important enough to Misery for her to even commit her human form to memory at the time, much less her appearance as a mimiga.

I saw this piece of fanart for the game: https://www.deviantart.com/raizy/art/Cave-Hero-35819910 The description read "If you haven't played Cave Story yet I feel bad for you. :<". Who was I to argue with that. I played Cave Story, loved it, and joined the forums in 2007.

Some people can be so depressed that they bring down the entire room, but Ballos brings down the entire room in the most literal of ways.

No. That's wrong on every level. Think of it like this: levitation = 1 + (coreAlive?1:0) - (ballosAlive?1:0); Ballos being alive makes the island fall. The core being alive makes the island rise (to counter Ballos). If both or neither are alive then the island just floats in place.

As I said earlier, I think Ballos' magic is reacting to Ballos' subconscious and maybe his emotional state. And Ballos is a fucking mess mentally. The magic keeping Ballos alive is probably from the part of him who wants to be live, despite everything. The magic stopping the souls of his victims...

Yes, but that was after the Core is destroyed, so the island stabilises. The question is more what happens if Ballos was killed without destroying the Core first. Flying into space is possible if the levitation power was unlimited, but Jenka would intervene before it got to that. Although it...

The core doesn't make the island float, it stops it from falling. You might think that is the same thing, but it isn't. This is what Pixel said on the matter in this interview... Japanese original: English translation: If you recall the Core was attacked by robots in the past, so it...

I love it. You know what? This honestly makes sense. Scrap my earlier theory.
