I frown upon people who don;t save curly,i mean really from Quote's prospective she's a "childhood" friend,and probably saved his butt multiple times,so you pretty much OWE her it!
plus,if you DO save her you get to live happily ever after with her and balrog :U
enough about MY opinion,what do you think about it?

I also "frown" upon people who don't save Curly. She had our back during our battle with the Core!

1. Curly used to be a killer robot.
2. The Colons' parents were killed by a killer robot.
3. Curly is a monster and deserves what she gets.

1. No, when she regains her memories she remembers that Quote and her were different.

2. This is not explicitly stated. For all we know they died of causes unrelated to robots.

3. Points 1 and 2 are compromised, so point 3 is no longer valid.

do you guys remember how like
curly and quote were sent to kill the crown-bearer or whatever
and weren't killer robots, but had some kind of "soul" or something
meaning that they probably wouldn't kill senselessly

figuring this out, after being depressed that you might have been a killer robot like curly assumes is a huge plot point, which makes you sort of identify with your quest to kill the doctor/ destroy the crown, especially in the plantation (right before the final battle) where you figure all this shit out
fuck

History... saving curly

Saving Curly...
carly3.png

Maybe one cannot appreciate saving Curly Brace as much, as if you were to not save her. If you leave her behind, won't you wonder what you might be missing? Do you really want to create a world where she no longer exists?

If Curly Brace were saved without the player's involvement or didn't need saving... then this thread probably wouldn't exist in any shape or form.

In fact I found Curly Brace a little annoying when I first played the PC Cave Story :p She seemed a bit LOUD! :awesomeface: And Dude... she attacked me without even giving me a choice! Getting blown up by a machine gun isn't VERY NICE! MAYBE I SHOULD BE A KILLER ROBOT!

But, then... why did I stop before beating the game when I discovered Curly Brace really wasn't coming back, when I hadn't discover the steps you had to take to save her?

I restarted before beating the game so I could save her, even peeking at the first clue to saving Curly (the jump!?).
I couldn't find a way to save Toroko... so was I just making up for that, by making sure Curly lived?

Maybe so... at first. But, the more time spent with Curly, the more she grew on me.

If you want an in-game response... Without Curly Brace, Quote would probably never be whole again. Quote probably has amnesia, and without Curly, Quote will only live in the present. His true past would probably stay lost, and the lively, sometimes annoying, but cheerful and by your side: Curly Brace, most of all would not be there. Living with Sue might not be all bad (assuming they don't try to shut Quote down or something till he's needed...), but you might wonder as the days pass... if you were meant for something more...

1. Yep... she's not a killer robot according to her testimony using truth mushroom

2. The colons/korons/"those darn kids", in Cave Story Wii and +; one of the Mimigas say that "the robot" killed their parent(s?), but raised them too.

I didn't copy the +'s script but... Here's the wii one
"@Koron2@
{
Our real mother was killed long-
ago by the robot.

And she's the one who raised us,
even before we could open our eyes.
}
"

Still, there is at least room for doubt. Although it surely sounds like "the robot" would be "she" aka Curly.
But, a kid might say "the monster killed my mom", *then... points to Curly* "And she raised us" (meaning the monster and Curly are differnet subjects)

But, then again why would Curly raise the Mimiga children? Surely she could have tracked down *Some* other Mimiga to raise the children... However, if she believes that she killed the parent, then she would probably decide to inherit the duty of raising them.
The big issue though, is what REALLY happened. She says she woke up with the kids. So, why does she have this selective memory that she might have been a killer robot, and is all for the Mimigas. How does she know she killed the parent if it happened before waking up with the kids?

If I were to take a guess, I'd say Jenka might have told Curly some things; or only fragments of her memory are missing. (When she loses her memory again after drowning, she still recognizes the Mimiga mask Quote as a Mimiga, and talks about watch out for the bad robots...)

Hmm...

3. -___- Curly would probably just smile and go "I'm not a human!"
(At least in the + script, apparently humans are evil according to Booster and hell dialogue? (second hand knowledge for hell dialogue))

Hmmm... late night posts ftw

Well technically they never had a "childhood." They were probably dropped off on that island shortly after being tweaked and manufactured, and as for "Quote's perspective..." He doesn't really have one! At no point throughout the game did he ever recover any of his former memories. XD

Curly tried to blow my head off the first time I met her, albeit unwittingly; she makes up for that later on by saving my inevitably drowning ass, and I repay that debt by not only getting her out in one piece, but also restoring her memory to a level far beyond that of my own. She's cool, but I don't feel like I owe her anything. (Besides, I don't like Balrog, he would've been better off leaving me there to die, and Curly's version of a "happy ending" sounds too cushy-cushy boring for me. The only reason i'd consider going down there would be to save the island, Curly happens to be lying face-down somewhere along the way, and I just so happen to have a tow rope with me!)

As far as i'm concerned, I only scaled up to the balcony in order to rescue Sue and get her out alive. She's the only character that I actually felt a connection with, so when push comes to shove, I zip straight past the prefab and dive right over the edge! Abandoning her to save Curly just makes me feel all wrong, (probably the same thing for you only, backwards?) For all I know, she jumped off the edge without me, went splat, the island survived, and then I went on living in "some place with a nice view" alongside some hot robo-chick and a big flatulent toaster.

..The old bloke was also rather emphatic in beseeching my aid to save Sue, though I paid him little heed. His "request" complied with the course of action i'd originally intended. (and his booster was indefinably helpful, so if anything I feel that I owe him more than I owe Curly. =P

I think I lost my memory... who's Curly?

This is what Quote would say, besides, she tried to KILL ME.

Quote isn't the kind of person to leave people to die. (I mean, he nuked down an island and a wizard for no reason at all when he could just escape with Kazuma)
And I think after saving Curly he would like to "stuff it into Curly's mouth"
