I'm not sure if this should go in Indie Games or Theories, but I'm putting this here.
This theory connects all four games, as well as creating a time line between them and an approximate relation as far as the year, to the real world.
Now this all starts with Cave Story. The other games start coming in at the Waterways with Ikachan. After defeating Ironhead, He decides to move his colony of fish and sea urchins to another area, for risk of more attackers, and creates the pearl system, in which anyone who has no pearl can be attacked by his followers. Little did he know that earthquakes would be happening. The first happened approximately when the Red Ogre was defeated in CS, the second when the Muscle Doctor was defeated, and the third when the Undead Core was defeated, causing blocks to fall from the Sanctuary and the Balcony in CS. After beating Ikachan, they blast off into the sky, and well the rest is history for them.
1001 spikes, or at least Curly Brace's story, is the next game, Starting at the end of the Plantation. Curly is separated from Quote, as her first cutscene suggests, (in an ironic way calling him "her talkative companion" as Quote, as far as we can tell, doesn't speak much) because Quote went to go fight the doctor. She starts looking for him, as she wants to help, but she gets swept down into the water pipes at the bottom of the plantation. She "washed up" in Ukampa, which, I would actually place on the Floating Island. You see, 1001 spikes refers to Ukampa as being in South America, but at the end of Ikachan, we see that their Earth is much differently shaped, as far as the continents, and in a world where talking rabid rabbits invaded the earth 10 years ago, and zombies are beginning to exist (we'll come back to that), and magic, and robots, and talking fish, and plenty of other creatures exist, a floating island would not seem out of place, and a floating island above a country would still be considered a part of that country, so there's that. Anywho, along the way, Curly meets Conseil, the merchant in 1001 Spikes. She buys the red hat item, (that is sold out in-game) because it reminds her of Quote (because Conseil says "A chatty blond bought this."). At the end of Ukampa, Lies the Golden Temple, in which you defeat Poku-Mum, this happens at the same time Quote defeats the Undead Core, and their combined strength, when both are defeated simultaneously, causes blocks to fall and earthquakes both. At the end of the Golden Temple, is the level "The Way Out" in which you have to exit the temple, which sounds easy, but everything is falling behind and in front of you, because of the Undead Core and Poku-Mum. After clearing that level, you are presented with a second cutscene, in which Curly ends up in the Blood Stained Sanctuary, which is supported by Butes, as well as "As she passes through the door, a black wind blows through Curly's body...".
Next comes Tempura of the Dead, another game by Samu Wosada, the creator of 1001 spikes. This game does not actually come during Cave Story, but 14 or more years later. Assuming that each character's journey in 1001 spikes happens at the time they are unlocked, and that the blocks falling after Poku-Mum, are a result of just him and is not happening anywhere else, in each character's journey, President Thompson's and Sugimoto's journeys' happen sometime before Curly's, yet not years behind, as everything looks exactly the same. President Thompson's first cutscene actually says that he is not yet president and he is coming to the temple to prove he is worthy. His end cutscene basically says that he is ready. Sugimoto's first cutscene shows that he is starting to learn English, as he says "Herro," instead of "Hello," yet in ToD, as we'll shorten it, he has much better English, further supporting this. Now to become President, you have to be born in the U.S., Be 35 or more of age, and have been living in the U.S. continuously for 14 or more years, which means from the time that Thompson left Ukampa, he had to at least wait 14 years to run for President, which means that the first three games mentioned happen at least 14 years prior to ToD. In ToD, you can switch between two playable characters, Pres. Thompson, and Sugimoto, to save the U.S. from the Zombie Apocalypse, (told you we'd get back to that). I have not actually played that, as I don't own an X-Box 360, and there are no full playthroughs on YouTube, so I don't have any more information on the ending of that, so sorry 'bout that. I do however know that the first boss battle of ToD is in Alabama, my home state, but I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing.
Anywho, that's the end of the theory, story wise, but there's still the relation to real life. Now, if you've seen Pres. Thompson, it's obvious that he's based on Pres. Obama, and the fact that ToD was released and set in 2010, means that President Thompson was two years into his term, and that CS, Ikachan, and 1001 spikes take place around 1996. That means that the Robot-Mimiga war took place around 1986, and that the Jenka and Ballos story took place around 986.
But hey, that's just a theory, a Game Theory.
(Credit to the slogan at the end belongs to Game Theory and Matthew Patrick, one of my favorite YouTube channels, not me. I hope I'm not infringing on any copyright stuff, so I'll say this. None of the games, characters, worlds, quotes, or slogans, belong to me, so yeah.)

If your post was sarcastic,then please disregard this.Sorry in advance.)
Anyone who knew how to use Resource Hacker with Resource Hacker,a hex editor,Cave Story,and 60 seconds could show otherwise.(hint: .org != SNES)
I did have a feeling that those games are all connected somehow, but I never got ToD cause I don't own an Xbox 360 or One. I wanna play it so badly!
