I'm darn sorry if the answer to this is obvious or mentioned in the game or if this has been asked by some freakin noob like me before, but i wanna know what was the point in destroying the core in the end. I mean, the doctor was (apparently) dead, and that was quote's mission. How on earth then did the core crop up in the picture?

Theories and facts needed guys. Best argument wins a kiss.

It wasn't just the doctor, it was the whole line of evil madmen who had the crown. Kazuma's Idea was to blow up the whole island, and hopefully the crown would be gone forever. Also, Kazuma suggests that killing the core would turn the Mimigas back (why? I don't know.)

Kazuma: You know, there's one other way one might return the Mimigas to their natural state.
Kazuma: You could destroy the island's core.

Kazuma: Well, now the world ought to be free from any future incarnations of the Doctor.
Kazuma: Peace has been preserved!
Kazuma: Now, let's go home. (corny much?)

Never said I was the one who delivers the prize.

@Atravir : Hmm... I missed that one. But the Mimigas were killed when the island crashed, didn't they? So what was the point in blowing up the island anyway?

The purpose in destroying the Core is to foil the Doctors plans of using the island as a floating fortress from which to assault the earth. While destroying the Doctor was Quote's initial goal (or the core, either works), he still had to save Sue, and so he continued into the Black Space, finding Misery and the Core there. Misery offered him Sue if he would leave the island in peace, but the Doctor, empowered by the Red Crystal, possessed the Core and forced Quote to destroy it, forever ending the Doctor.

But did the Mimigas all die? Look closer...
All of the Mimigas are captured and put in the plantation or the jails. Right before you get on the rocket, notice that all of the Shovel Brigade nor the prisoners are gone (except for Zett and Mahin, but I guess no one cares about them). Momorin even says:

Momorin: The Mimigas are gone from the plantation.
...in other words, he may be already using the red flowers.


The only Mimigas left are either mutated, or the ones in the cages in the throne room, although when you leave after beating the undead core, they are gone as well. For even more proof, when the cinematic shows the various places on the island, you never once see a Mimiga.

Hm... point. Maybe Momo and itoh took em away. But it's still not explained why curly doesn't survive if the mimgas do in the normal ending.

You fight some enraged Mimigas on the Balcony before facing off with Misery and Doc.

Watching the good ending again, the only Mimigas it shows are Chaco and Santa with Momorin, Sue, Itoh, and Kazuma. Perhaps Momorin and Itoh flew them to safety after all?

Somehow curly ends up in hell. No idea how, but for all intensive purpose we can assume she got there by accident. No one except for Quote really knows who she is, so no one probably went out to rescue her.

She went though Sacred Grounds from the throne room to reach Balcony. She wouldn't be able to get through the gauntlet and she won't be able to borrow the rocket from Itoh and Moromin since they don't know her (would you lend your rocket to a stranger), so Sacred Grounds was her only option for getting to Balcony.
