Spikes. really

He's related to Mega Man and, like Mega, e-rings on contact with spikes.

Clearly. :>

I hadn't thought of that before. lol

 

Meh, never played Megaman. Oh, and welcome to the forums, by the way.

 

Just like in Mega Man and a few other platformers, the spikes have an extreme energy current going through them that e-rings them/explodes them/overloads their heart so they explode into a ton of little blood pixels.

 

Quote and Curly aren't cyborgs since there is nothing in the game that hints at them being anything other than pure robots.

That does not exclude the possibility of cyborgs, though. There's an overlap between robots and cyborgs.


Gah, stupid timer... 19 seconds... 7 seconds... 1 second... GO!

I thought we were discussing SPIKES. AHEMHEMHEM.

Speaking of spikes and Megaman reminds me of that video where Megaman was defeated by the boss, Spikewallman.

Hm... I may have posted that in the wrong thread somehow... :/

Deadly spikes, or sticks?

If we're going to wonder how red-coloured spikes of death can make Quote explode in such a spectacular way, why not ponder how a lone mimiga with a stick can achieve the same affect? (Toroko back at the warehouse, and yes I've seen it happen, and no it wasn't me who died)

I think she's just running around.

 

Something or nothing?

I think she's just running around.

Toroko at the warehouse? I'm almost 100% sure she had a stick.....she drops something when you shoot her...

I've never noticed.
Will check it out.
Though it'll be tricky at 320x240 resolution to make out an object a few pixels in size.
Yes, 320x240 is the only resolution my computer can handle.

That's actually pretty easy if you think about it for a second. Toroko's stick is actually a spike! You may ask why is it not red, then. Well, as we know, Mimigas aren't particularly fond of the red color, so somebody painted it a different color to pass it as an ordinary stick.

By the way, can somebody tell me why the hell did I mentally play the Phoenix Wright Objection track when I was typing this?

possibly. the spikes in the sand zone are brown, pretty much exactly the same color as the stick.:eek:

Cuz you had an objection, duh.

 

One thing I'm not understanding is why in the world would Santa just set down a deathtrap on the first floor? Either the guy's got a serious power critter problem in his house or he's not partially welcome to most company.

The spikes are plants and most likely grew there on their own. Santa obviously failed to weed them out before they became a problem.

Heh, if Santa was smart, he'd of fireball'd em while they were still susceptible to fire. Granted if they were weeds. I can't help but believe they are a mineral formation.

 

I'm thinking he had it there as a warning to all who came into his house, since later Grasstown you see the spikes.

1. The spikes protect the base. You could never hope to reach the base to remove the plant when it is fully grown. Santa must have left it too late, so now he has to put up with it.
2. It is quite obvious that the fireball's projectiles are not actual balls of fire considering that half of grasstown isn't up in flames by now, that it does not visually represent a ball of fire, and that you can use it underwater. It is probably only because it LOOKS sort of like a fireball that it was named such, like how a sea cucumber looks sorta like a cucumber in shape, but isn't really a cucumber.
3. Some people just can't be bothered. My sister's room is a good example of this.
4. Clearing out simple short spikey plants is easy if you can get at the base. Clearing meter-long spikes that can cut through steel out of a pit is impossible when there is no room in the pit to do anything 'sides impale yourself.
5. Mineral formations of that size take an extremely long time to form and certainly wouldn't form during the lifespan of Santa's house.

Not Santa's intent at all, Pixel left it there as a warning.

 

I think that Santa put that sign there after he found out that no, he certainly won't get rid of that fricking plant now. I wonder how many people already killed themselves because of that perfect Schmuck Bait...
