kazuma :
- it's unbelievable that mamorin son stuck in normal room, do you think he locked himself in due to monsters around ,
i think the door can be opened only from outside
~or even santa looked him in to force him to become the next santa
- now about eating ,is he refere to small cockroaches
because gaudi can't slide into that closed room, or they can teleport from labyrinth (the room were you get stuck unless you get booster )
-can hoki kazuma eat armor gaudi ?

professor booster:
- no human can survive that full so i think he is a robot like quote that will use booster 0.8 to escape that trap
-where did he go if you choose to get booster 0.8 from him

mamorin :
-so she replicate the booster , why the rocket has the same speed despite using booster 2.0 or 0.8
-if kazuma survive on gaudi then she survive on pea npc

Cemetery :
- is ma pignon a truffles?
- is grave keeper evil ,is he even human
-is mignons grow from dead mimgas that is poisoned from red flowers

balrog :
-so he is a soap, does he clean quote when he catch him


I'll call it a day

He clearly states he wanted to get out. He did not lock himself in, the door was stuck
~or even santa looked him in to force him to become the next santa
'Santa' in cave story is a person, not a role. 'becoming the next santa' does not make sense
- now about eating ,is he refere to small cockroaches
correct. 'if i have to though, i really will' indicates he is talking about something he has access to in that room (access?!?)
because gaudi [...] can teleport from labyrinth (the room were you get stuck unless you get booster )
The teleporter in grasstown shelter is linked to the one in the plantation jail, not to the labyrinth
- no human can survive that full so i think he is a robot like quote that will use booster 0.8 to escape that trap
Booster doesn't fly out, he teleports. Being a robot or not has nothing to do with using the booster to escape the trap.
The point about no human being able to survive that fall is a good one, though. We have no idea why he isn't on the brink of death even when he survives to give us the booster 2.0. How would he heal himself even if he survives? We see him visiting Jenka in one of the credits scenes. Could it be that Jenka helped him out back there?
-where did he go if you choose to get booster 0.8 from him
The afterlife (we see him disappear in a puff of smoke)
-so she replicate the booster , why the rocket has the same speed despite using booster 2.0 or 0.8
Actually a good question. Perhaps the rocket technology is similar to the booster technology but slightly different in that its thrust saturates quickly as a function of power.
-if kazuma survive on gaudi then she survive on pea npc
Kazuma does not survive on Gaudi but you raise an interesting question about the possibility of deriving food from the monsters in game. Mimiga eat flowers & fish, and Gaudi eat Mimiga, but it's never really addressed what the humans eat while they're on the island.
- is ma pignon a truffles?
Why would you suspect this to be the case?
- is grave keeper evil ,is he even human
Grave keeper just doesn't want anyone desecrating the graves, and can be a little trigger-happy. She does not look human, no.
-is mignons grow from dead mimgas that is poisoned from red flowers
'Mushrooms have been popping up...' is what Jack says. So they seem to be a recent addition to the cemetery's ecosystem. If they were the result of poisoned dead mimigas they should have been more prevalent from the war 10 years ago when many mimiga ate red flowers.
-so he is a soap, does he clean quote when he catch him
balrog's character design is based on soap, there is no evidence in game that links him to any soap-like qualities besides gross morphology

to call it a day is a metaphor for "It is an achievement it's enough for a day"
also balrog definitely cleaning quote since he is a soap you see him throw bubbles and foam in boss fight

Eh, maybe some discussion on some point will be started either way ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ plus fwiw I don't think he's really a troll, just very out of touch?

I was joking :<

Misery also uses bubbles, as do some other things (e.g. labyrinth critters). Using bubbles is not an indicator of being soap and cleaning something. What incentive does Balrog even have to clean Quote?

I mean, diegesis is indeed a concept.

Dan, your threads are always a joy to read. I hope you know that. I like your interpretation of Cave Story and it's characters and world and how much imagination you have. People seem to assume your sillier theories are trollish but tbh I think you just have a very unique and different understanding of Cave Story. Even if I'm wrong, and you are indeed a troll, I still enjoy your threads a lot. I hope you don't feel discouraged to keep making them, dude.

I can't wait to read the next one!

Not quite yet lol, I am still hard at work on it. I released a trailer for it, though (that's what the date I mentioned on my profile was for, the release of the trailer)
