What the heck is Balrog?

HEH!?!?!? But I can show you a screenie! He has a handle in the first boss fight in Mimiga Village in the Original Cave Story!!!

Or at least i think so...

Oh yeah and why is there a green version of Balrog? Never seen one appearing anywhere in the game lol. Maybe some modder could use it?

Grasstown, when he turns into balfrog.

 

I always thought of him as a luchbox, but I just realized that Japanese lunchboxes look different from American ones as someone said earlier in the thread.

 

I always thought of Balrog as a square-shaped robot who gets pushed around a lot. Turns out that I was right.

 

I thought he was a TV.

Same here. But then again, My first assumption as a weird looking Lego block.

 

First impression: TV
After Applying Logic: Robot

 

Wait.. After I played the game many times to check out if he had a handle.. I found something out...

He DIDN"T HAVE A HANDLE ON HIS HEAD! You know when you first had to fight him with only a Polar Star? Yeah That time I thought he had a handle ontop of his head. That was because he was standing infront of a door... And the door's top mad him look like he had a handle... LOL

 

Lunch boxes don't need handles... japanese ones that is.
Balrog, the toasting, robotic bentoubako.

I don't know Japanese so can you tell me what "bentoubako" means (assuming that it is a Japanese word), or is it just a Japanese lunchbox?

 

My first impression: Box
After the first fight: Robot, boxes cant jump 74,631,784,673,264 feet into the air.

It's simple a japanese lunchbox, with bentoubako being the box itself.

 

Re: Balrog: Mutant Toaster or Mutant Lunchbox?

he's a frog in a lunchbox and misery opens it in grasstown... or at least a frog in a plain box.

 

Re: Balrog: Mutant Toaster or Mutant Lunchbox?

Balrog is a bar of soap.
Pixel said so in an interview.

NOW CLOSE THIS DAMN THREAD ALREADY :/

Nice almost 3 year bump.

He said he based his design on a bar of soap, he never said he was a bar of soap.

Quoting CD-i never gets old.

He said he based his design on a bar of soap, he never said he was a bar of soap.

This directly implies that he is soap though. And what with pooh black turning into bubbles.

But also this:

"Once you put eyes, arms, and legs on a bar of soap, it's not really a bar of soap anymore, is it?"

 

Re: Balrog: Mutant Toaster or Mutant Lunchbox?

No it doesn't. A character having their design based on something doesn't mean they are that thing.

I could make a character based on Kanpachi but human, does that make him a Mimiga? No it does not, I just simply used Kanpachi as a base for my character, nothing more, nothing less.


Anyway, the cheater's way out of what Balrog is to simply say Balrog is Balrog.

 

Re: Balrog: Mutant Toaster or Mutant Lunchbox?

A mutant toaster made entirely of soap with a food compartment?

 

Re: Balrog: Mutant Toaster or Mutant Lunchbox?

If he is soap, does that mean the Doctor uses him to clean himself?

-shudder-
