spur question

I havent played this game in a very long time. I can't remember....can you get the spur with the booster 0.8?

 

Yes.

All you need to get the spur is to give the polar star back to the gunsmith.

 

ahh i couldnt remember if the booster 0.8 had enough thrust to actually get you there or not. I havent played in a year or so, and wanted to go for normal ending with the spur in hand if possible. I would hate to grab the 0.8 only to find out i suddenly cant get what i was aiming for.

 

Yeah, the first time I played Cave Story, I traded in my Polar Star for the Machine Gun and got 0.8, but I went up there anyways to see what the Hermit Gunsmith would say. It took me multiple tries, though. Maybe 2.0 has more booster power than 0.8? I'm not sure. Just make sure Quote jumps to his full potential before using the booster.

 

Well I'm not sure about that but 2.0 starts at max speed so you're already getting more distance than 0.8

The best way to use the 0.8 is to boost immediately after pressing the jump button. The 0.8 tries to keep you at a constant velocity, but if you wait till the top of a jump (when your y-velocity is 0), you'll waste a lot of boosts accelerating.

 

It isn't possible, the Booster V.0.8 isn't capable to plunge itself onto the first block that's required to get back in the first cave... without the Machine Gun.

I'm glad you know so much more about cave story than everybody else who's posted before you.
I definitely didn't just test it and make the jump on the second try.

 

It took me 5 trys or so to get onto the first block, but I'm now saved at the door to the last cave, with the spur and booster 0.8 in hand.

 

Booster 0.8? That means Curly Dead. So actually, I've never used it . But yes, it's all about precision.
