So, IIRC, there was a passing mention of how the enraged Mimigas once upon a time descended to the surface. My question is: how did they get there? Seems to me that's a long way to fall... And if they just dropped in*, how many died on impact? Did any actually wreak any havoc beyond being a 500 lb dead weight hitting a building at 9,001 miles a second? Was this played out like a game of lemmings?
*: Orbital Drop Shock Bunnies?
Gliding? Hidden Rockets? Just Epic Skill?

Okay, you know how in kung-fu and anime movies, when peope are fighting and they go really high up in the air (for shits n giggles), and then one of them is punched/kicked back down into the ground, and the other guy lands on his feet with a whump, even though he fell just as far?
That's how they did it. Cave Story has anime art style, so locigally, if the Enraged Mimigas hit the ground looking extremely bad-ass, they would be unharmed.
That, or the Island wasn't always so far from the ground, for some reason. It might have been floating at a lower altitude when the Mimigas went down (probably onto a mountain). Your guess is as good as mine as to why the Core decided to float higher later.

Demon Crown seems to make the Doctor float... Misery can also bubble carry people, or teleport huge things like the Core.
I don't know if crazed Mimigas and Sky Dragons would mix... Hard to imagine Igor on the back of one
[somebody do a pic 
]
Anyways, descending to the surface... I think as long as Miakid oversees the assualt; he can simply have them fly down safely; or worse yet have Misery teleport them directly in the midst of the enemy. That there would be a hundred times worse! Not even robot armies can do much about crazy Mimigas teleporting into the middle of them!
As for fall damage... I think it must exist cause Quote takes damage when he falls in the beginning! So it exists, but it's selective ...
ex: If you are in a cinematic prepare for massive battle damage!

Hmm...? I don't think Quote actually takes damage from falling at the beginning, he just gets knocked down, but his HP/XP doesn't decrease.
Also, based on the gameplay of CS, I'd say gravity is quite a bit lower in the CS universe, and air resistance is quite a bit higher, and therefore terminal velocity is not all that fast, hence the lack of falling damage.
Or we could just go with Fabulous's theory...
