Yup, that's the one.
By the way, what about the Red Flowers? They're also not dangerous, on their own.
You mean like a Gun without Bullets?
:D

Nothing's dangerous on its own, it's only when you interact with it that it wrecks your ships.
Quote's clothes are also red, and don't hurt you. Same with hearts and life capsules.

Why do I get the feeling that you're both arguing and agreeing with me at the same time? Or, more importantly, why are you doing that?

I don't understand how I'm agreeing with you. I'm just listing all the red things that aren't dangerous at all, ever.

Well, my point was that there are many non-dangerous red things in CS.

Actually, I think we named all the significant ones. Except for the ERROR computers.

Even then it's enough to prove that there's no connection between red colour and danger.

I disagree. Red = danger in 99% of video games, and Cave Story is no exception. However, health = hearts = red, so that's confusing when you think about it.

Okay. Quote wakes up, is promptly killed by his red cap. Happy?

Dude, give us more freedom. Hidden Final Cave is surely full of red, but does it mean that it's dangerous?

The blocks are red but you don't die when you step on them!

C'mon, that was just a joke... Anyway, I wouldn't say that the Sacred Grounds are dangerous because they're red, but rather that they're red because they're dangerous. Not dangerous on their own, of course, but it's rather easy to die there, don't you think?

Any color that is not the color of Quote is a bad color.

If it moves, shoot it.
If it doesn't move, shoot it anyways.

Some of Quote's clothes are red. That's what makes him so dangerous!

What makes Quote so dangerous is the "Retry?" button.
Let's be honest, how many people made it through the Start Cave without dying {Oh, I spelt it right again, andwhy =D} once?
Let alone the entire game...

I went through the First Cave many times in a row to get the Polar Star to lv. 3 and I never died. One time I even forgot to get the life boost, and I still did all that. I think Toroko (in the shack, non-enraged) killed me that time.
