That's what I meant by "projectiles", I use lvl3 for everything up until I hit lvl2 then I switch to bubbler for the missiles and other projectiles and switch back for attacking Monster-X, and if my blade ends up as lvl1 I replace it with Missiles.
That's a lotta weapon switchin. Platformer is on his first playthrough. He won't switch the blade that often.

BTW, any tips on beating Hell with 3 HP, guys??

As long as he remembers to stand directly below and spam fire Monster-X with either missiles or the blade, and to shoot the fish missiles for weapon energy, it will be all he needs to know.

Cave Story rocks, Metroid and Castlevenia? I hate it. But Castlevenia sucks the most. Seriously. Or maybe I'm not giving it another chance because I hated the Gameboy Color Castlevenia. :/

Eh, Metroid is somewhat fun, but not as fun as Cave Story. =P

Omg Castlevania rocks! It looks dam good on Computer... Gives you good or better graphic colours at any rate... =S

Great guys..defeated Monster X :D

Much appreciated help from you guys and Roonil Wazlib :D

I read the advice and thought right..before I try switching weapons in mid fight..I'm going to keep the level 2 blade equiped for as long as possible..and it worked..no switching.

As for the health. My maximum is 38..so I've missed a life capsual somewhere. I think I'll carry on for now..see if my luck holds out...

Good luck with that. And the Core, which you're about to fight a few levels on.

PS: I'm a guy too. No need to name me in a separate catagory :D

Hey you could search the Cave Story Tribute site for the locations of life capsules and other such information in the future :D

Here's all the locations where you can find life capsules.

First Cave – Left-hand wall as on your way to the hermit’s cave.

Yamashita Farm – At the end of the farm near the water.

Egg Corridor – Near the entrance of the Egg Corridor.

Egg Corridor – Above the first save room entrance.

Grasstown – Near the first section of the stage an alcove above next to where the star block and big jellyfish lie.

Grasstown – Inside the room called the Execution Chamber.

Sand Zone – In the top-half section of Sand Zone near the sand traps, star blocks and Polish (The floating face enemies that split into mutiple smaller versions of themselves.)

Sand Zone – In the end of a long secret passage corridor close to Jenka’s house an just below the two moving blocks that were dispelled after the fight with Omega.

Labyrinth – Halfway up the first room of the labyrinth, just before the moving blocks.

Plantation – In the top-left most quadrant of the Plantation.

Plantation – After gaining access to the Final Cave, jump off the rocket and make your way over to Jenka’s dog, Hajime, sitting on the platform just before you enter. He will give you a life capsule.

* Bonus Life Capsule – Located in the Sacred Grounds secret stage as you make your descent from first area.

I think you're missing the one in the Execution Chamber in Grasstown =S

You backstabber! What about that debt of loyalty you owe to CS, eh? Your association with the masterpiece is a one-sided affair - parasitic and unsympathetic. Here's what I think of you - _|_

I'm a bit late, but for other awesome 2d platformers I have to say :
Have you tried Castlevania : Symphony of the Night ? [PSX]
That was the Castlevania game that I really enjoyed... Sweet game..!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rOCPDXYWHAg - Has part of a cool castlevania : symphony of the night battle along with some other clips

and

Mega Man Zero... [GBA] if you want an awesome platformer this one was the last one before Cave Story that I loved. Only 4 games in the series, but probably the best Mega Man games I remember playing. [first one is supposed to be super hard... lol]
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XJ3rclEDohU - First level of MMZ
This guy is bad at protecting Ciel though..!

By the sound of what I heard, XristosX hasn't been playing the normal cave story and has been playing mods instead, correct me if I am wrong.

I'd figured that out. Albeit after I'd posted...

Did anyone get the irony when Sue said that?
"Even my brother's never lost to me!"
It's pretty obvious when you go back and read it.

In this case, Igor = XristosX. XristosX needs red flowers to beat me.
Cheater :D .

Either way I'd rather be a brainy braveheart than a brawny dunghead who struggles to put together a single sentence.

@Atravir - I was sure that was a translation error. I thought the latest version fixes it.

5u3: There you are you monster! You're really hard to spot you know!
5u3: I against not being afraidda you!

5u3:Yeah? What's that?
5u3: You wanna bring it?
5u3: Go ahead and try!
5u3: Even my brother's never lost to me!

Yeah, that sounds a question mark (?) on 5u3's character. No wonder it never occured to Quote to prevent her being smacked.
