Did you forget your meds again?
I heard there's this plant that cures that ailment you have. It's red, pointy and lives on a floating island. You should eat some.

Spikes < Ballos
Never saw them destroy a kingdom out of rage and madness.
Or... did they?
No. They just slowly take over the land while nobody fucking notices.

That was pretty harsh, D=
I was just laughing...

And did you, by chance, mean a Rose?

Hey, someone noticed. Notice how there aren't any in the Mimiga village.

Because...
...Mimigas are their natural predators!!! {Don't ask} {Toroko and that spike}
Thus explains the reason why the spikes and Mimigas are found only on the floating island =D

As I always said: Mimigas use the spikes as weapons!

Two reasons

Captain Fabulous said:

Two reasons:
1. Well, it's called Mimiga Island, no? And I thought they said somewhere that Mimiga's only lived on the Island...
2. If spikes were everywhere on the surface, wouldn't Quote have some self-defense built into him? {Besides moving Left or Right, because that obviously fails, more than once...}

That and my Theory rocks, if you'd stop blowing holes in it =P

First, I don't recall any instance of the Island being called such, and second, even if it was called Mimiga Island, it could be so because it's an island inhabited mainly by Mimigas.

I swear I saw that, somewhere!!!
I'll go search for it....

EDIT:
HA!! FOUND IT!!
And on the Cave Story Tribute site, nonetheless
"Kazuma Sakamoto
A scientist heading the research of the Mimiga island and the brother of Sue. He has somehow become trapped in a room on the island with no means of getting out by himself. His specialty is raising sky dragons."

Also, when Jenka talks about the Red Flowers and how the Mimigas had to eat them to fight off the robots, she talked about them "Descending upon the Surface" as if they've never been down there before...

That guy who's making the WiiWare version called it Mimiga Island
Lowell, there are a lot of things Quote doesn't have a defence for, such as lasers, bats and a kid with a stick. These all exist on the surface, but they still hurt Quote. Spikes hurt Quote because they're spikes. They hurt everything.

You mean like Critters? {Not, =D}
Anyways, I meant that Spikes are pretty, freakin' common on the Island, yesno?
Well, if they're on the Surface, they'd probably be pretty common there too, and I'd think Quote's designers would have given him extra long limbs or something to be able to walk inbetween/avoid the spikes, at the very least....

Okay, they're probably more common on the island than on the surface. Also, the stuff about "descending upon the surface" I don't think means there are no Mimigas there. There's gotta be some, unless the Island is fairly young and the Mimigas were created along with it. If we're saying it was created.

I just remembered, also when Jenka was talking about the Red Flowers, she said how the "Mimigas would have been completely wiped out, if not for the Red Flowers"
...I don't think they've got a surface dwelling...

Good point. Also, do you think there's any relation between the spikes and the red flowers, or does Pixel just like to color dangerous things red?

Well, spikes aren't always red, so I'm not sure what's the problem with his colouring....
...This seems like a good time to pull up the Balrog/DarkPooh, RedDemon/Droll and Ballos' funny eye movements examples!!
{As in, a mixture of possible laziness and errors}
