No way, Booster is like the dude in the karate kid, hes a ninja. He needs no jetpack.

Another question is, how do Mother and Itoh get to the helicopter at the surface of the island, when Quote has to go through that lava place.

No we haven't. There is actually a split opinion on the matter of if it was originally there or if Jenka created it/ripped it from the ground. There hasn't been anything to properly support either idea.

Then why did he make one?

I think Booster is actually not athletic at all, and also probably fairly old.

They probably knew a safer, less obvious route.

There is no evidence for this.

We haven't "established" anything other than what Pixel has explicitly told us, nor can we. Pixel has said repeatedly that he deliberately left a lot of things to the players' imagination, which means that there is no "right" answer to unanswered questions, such as who made the island.

Although we could establish our own unofficial history even if it is not proven history. Vote on things, challenge things etc. Have an unofficial history lol. After all, history is decided by those who write it...

If we wrote our own history and it became popular for whatever reason, suddenly it becomes accepted [for those who don't know better].

I think Cave Story forums needs to establish a government. How's "Nations from the Earth" sound? We're the ones who sent that invasion team anyways :p We wanted the Demon Crown so we could learn the truth about cave story... Too bad we sent Jacob 'Miakid' to collect it.

*ahem* Anyways, yeah I always believed the Island has part of Ballos' kingdom on it. Kingdoms don't grow on trees, and it says Jenka confined him to this floating island, not 'a', or, 'the' floating island. All those skeletons and 'Hell' having all of those angel guys in it... I can't imagine Jenka finding skeletons just anywhere...

That depends on what you mean by "right" answers. While there may right answers for individuals, there are no "absolute" right answers. A huge part of the beauty of the storyline of Cave Story is that it leaves a lot of room for imagination on the part of the player, which is something most storylines don't do. It would not be good to establish one and only one answer for every question that Pixel has left unanswered. To do that would ruin the beauty and unique-ness of the storyline of Cave Story. I'm not trying to say that individuals can't have their own "right" answers to questions, only that they shouldn't impose their answers on others.

POOF

When people ask why Curly has an air tank and Quote doesn't, his probably got shattered before the game started.

While we cannot absolutely prove a large number of theories (see the end of the cs earth debate), the idea is to get as close to the truth as possible. There are many theories, just like there are many pieces of a puzzle, the idea is to find which piece fits the best. Filling in the gaps and watching the pieces fall together perfectly are what we do here. When someone posts large quantities of wild theories, argues that everything we do is pointless, or questions the way that we do it, it derails the thread and accomplishes nothing.

Do not further derail this thread. You can create a new thread about this, but do not do this here.

Sorry for sort of bumping this, but Misery isn't just standing up in that end part.

Oh, yeah, and that doesn't have much to do with the thread.

You are officially a faggot amongst faggots.
