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 forget the sunscreen: Reach the Sand Zone
Escape Artist: Escape the Labrynth
Natural Climber: Beat the Outer Wall
Happiness: Defeat Misery
His Own Medicine: Defeat the Doctor
The Last Battle: Defeat the Final Boss
Remember Me: Restore Curly's memories
Unworthy: Enter the Sacred Grounds
Worthy: Complete Sacred Grounds
probably a few more in that vein, including some about finding the hidden weapons
And the equally obvious:
Evasive: Beat the game with less than 25 health
Nimble: Beat the game with less than 10 health
Untouchable: Beat the game with only 3 health
Godly: Beat Sacred Grounds with only 3 health
Minimal arsenal: Beat the game with only the Polar Star, Fireball and Blade
Minimal items: Beat the game with only the Polar Star, Fireball and Blade and 3 health (for simplicity we'll ignore the life pot and other minor items)
So now we can do the fun ones:
Not Afraid: Defeat Igor without jumping or being hit (aka shooting out his projectiles. A freebie, really).
Earthbound: Defeat Curly without jumping or being hit (this requires stunning her with missiles)
Plain Foolish: Defeat the Core without jumping or being hit (or alternately with the fireball and not being hit)
Vengeance: Defeat Misery with the Blade
Ill-suited: Defeat The Sisters with the Fireball
Somewhat Quick: Beat Sacred Grounds in under 8:00
Very Quick: Beat Sacred Grounds in under 6:00
Incredibly Quick: Beat Sacred Grounds in under 4:30
Look Ma, No Feet: Beat Monster X without touching the ground (most likely requires the machinegun since he starts so far behind you and starts caring when the boss music starts. Easier with the machinegun either way.)
Pacifism: Beat Grass Zone without attacking anything except bosses.
Mad Dash: Beat the revisited Egg Corridor without attacking.
Don't Look Down: Beat the Outer Wall without the jetpack or machinegun (would necessitate adding only a single stepping stone at the very beginning). Alternately, beat the Outer Wall with the mimiga mask and no machinegun.
Very Cute: Beat the Last Cave with the mimiga mask and no machinegun.
Skill Only: Beat the Final Boss with the Polar Star.
Gone Fishing: Beat Ironhead without being hit (already gives you a badge).
As Absurd As It Sounds: Beat the boss of Sacred Grounds with the Bubbler.
More?
