Yes, I believe that was the general gist of it.
The thing I really just can't fathom is that there exist people born in this millennium! (it's WACKY!)

From start to finish?
Hmm...
1 time for bad
3-4 times for normal
3 times for best

How many times have I beaten it though?
4 times for bad
12 times for normal
4 times for best

All just guesses though ~

I have started parts of the game over a lot more than played to the ending.

Believe it or not, I've actually never finished Cave Story. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely LOVE the game. But every time I start playing, another new game happens to come out, and I get preoccupied. I'm aiming to dedicate a portion of my few months of vacation to finally finishing it.

Only once (played it for the first time ever earlyer this week), and got the "bad" ending (not knowing about different endings).
Then I googled about different endings in Cave Story.

Reloaded my save file and went on and got the "Normal" ending which in the end took me about 10 hours, im really good at Metroid-like platformers and Exploration, so I decided to look at every nook and cranny of the game (Yet I didnt know where to get the nemesis, spur, bubble gun, first playthrough ever.)

I've beat it... around five or six times.
First time I got the normal ending. I never let Curly die after that.

There are two things you can't have too much in life - Love, and cave story.

Right Lowell?

I've gotten the Best ending 5 times and I have always gotten the Normal ending along the way.

(When I got wanted to take a break from dying in Hell)

In addition to that I've gotten the bad ending... 2 times out of that.

About 7 times (all the best ending with hell)...Once you play it you keep playing it again and again...usually you don't get bored. It becomes easier after a while. What I've done before is play with a second person and someone does the movement and the other person shoot's change weapons etc... It makes it a bit harder - Especially in hell xD
