Come on, the idea here is to limit ourselves to challenges which are possible for a person with enough skill and patience/effort without use of cheats, hacked controllers or savestates. Better yet, challenges which we think more than five people on earth could complete under those conditions...

Personally, I think the label's very misleading: Not counting keys or the exit to first cave, the only instance in the game where a new item/ability allows you to reach new areas is the jetpack (or machinegun if you get it early), and all the items that can only be reached by backtracking with...

The colors on both are pretty ugly. Try experimenting with them until they look more natural.

Not much new; maybe half of a large room, and a cryptic cutscene. The new items are added, but the only way they differ from the originals is in appearance. I wonder if maybe you're not spacing your updates out enough. Chainlaser is a bit of a disappointment given the name (though it wouldn't...

Well, the outer wall thing was assuming the game could recognize "start to end" as a win while having the mask. And yeah, I pointed out in that post that one missing block, which has vexed me to no end because it is literally the only place in the entire game, barring the alternate final cave...

Which Balrog? The last one? The first? And no, obviously I haven't completed all of those. As a side note, on further thought the monster X one would work better if you placed a single star block right at the trigger such that if you jumped on it you'd start the boss fight, so you wouldn't...

Well, I don't know if the Wii does achievements, and if it does Pixel probably won't be looking at this forum for ideas, but isn't it all the rage these days to have achievements in all the new games? So lets create a list of unofficial achievements for Cave Story. First, the givens: Don't...

Some spam bot must have this forum pegged. Least it's easy to avoid clicking on them, since almost every thread in the mods forum that's not spam is a "hot topic" and thus has a Curly icon rather than Sue.

This mod is pretty cool. The boss battle is really tough; I actually couldn't figure it out and had to peek at this thread before I realized how you're supposed to not die. I found it was significantly easier if you used the Q key rather than a/s to switch weapons, since rapid-tapping x, then...

Not entirely, if it eats one per shot and is useful in some important way/in a few specific spots. And as for the leveling, yeah, you'd probably want to make this weapon only have one level, or be chargable like the spur. Or perhaps go the opposite route and build that right into it--give it...

The thing with Toroko is that her attack is not dealt with the same way as most of the bosses. Most bosses shoot a lot of slow moving projectiles which mostly either aren't aimed directly at you or are destroyed by your own shots (or both), so you can stand your ground against most all of them...

The purple mushroom, having a silly sense of humor, begrudgingly gives you the mushroom badge if you navigate his maze of simple yes/no questions. The badge does absolutely nothing, but you can't fight him until you've examined it in your inventory.

I still think it's a bad idea to have Sand Zone be completely devoid of life, even at the beginning; I'm talking more about movement than enemies. Also, I still think that the cave ought to be shorter, and that a few more sharp turns in elevation and a few less slopes would better utilize the...

From skimming the thread, noone has beaten the sisters, or at least not many. You're supposed to skip them. As a side note, this mod is very dead, so don't hold your breath on any changes.

Indeed, I think this may be the first MetroidVania I've ever played where you didn't have to double back for incremental health/ammo upgrades. Two hidden weapons and an upgrade for one of them, and you can grab everything else in the game in one run (including the arms barrier if you use the...

I liked this mod. It was funny and fun. The altered title screen music got me laughing before I even started, though the other sped up songs weren't that interesting. The boss theme was cool though. I thought the final solution to the chest room was clever. I really liked the B@lrog fight...

That's the entire point.

Interesting mod. Not too exciting yet, but it could become so. I'm afraid I'm gonna have to provide some legitimate criticism, though. Sand zone feels way too empty of life. Obviously the enemies from there in the original game are more than you were planning on for this early, but I think...

Although I don't have one, I am fairly certain the rope wouldn't be missing if you're on a mac. Do note that simply not equipping the booster is not enough--you have to NOT TALK TO BOOSTER, and therefore not be given the booster. Once it's in your inventory it doesn't matter if you equip it...

I thought it was pretty obvious that those unreachable items in the first few areas were intended to be unreachable until you got the booster.

Yeah, I kinda figured that out, although it's really annoying anyways. Good rule of thumb is, when he uses the wind and lightning ball attack, you might as well just let him push you back. The missiles are still really useful in that fight, though, as they do a great job of pushing the smaller...

So in other words, if I wasn't lucky enough to have found the blade back in genesis air, I'm screwed? How often do they switch?

I'm sort of baffled at how you're supposed to fight the gaudsketeers. First off, they fire such a ridiculous number of projectiles that not getting hit for more than five seconds is nearly impossible. Second, my weapons don't seem to always damage them. Missile spam knocked off half their...

Back on topic... Most fun: Hard to say. Either undead core or Ballos. If he didn't hide behind the wall so much the original core would be a contender too. Most annoying: Monster X. Didn't really phase me too much first time through, but on low-HP runs he is the cheapest, most unfair boss...

"Huzzah", no question. I mean, there really ought to be Balrog T-Shirts with Huzzah on them.
