Because I was lazy lol. I figured that those areas would be "obvious" and that I didn't need to add them. However, I now realize just how few areas I didn't add, and it just made sense to add them. Interestingly, When I put the Seal Chamber there, I kinda notice that It's not really near the top...

Have you ever wondered what Cave Story's floating island looks like all mapped out? Well, I figure I'd take a stab at it. To establish where things are in the map, I used an image of the island from Cave Story+. Then I placed my starting point: The outer wall. The outer wall is very useful...

Well, actually none of the versions using Aeon Genesis assets are still being sold. The only one that is still legally obtainable is Cave Story 3D, and that's only from used copies. However, Cave Story 3DS eShop was sold for over 10 years, so I guess this would be the """copyright...

Fair point. I guess the only evidence they were actually copyrighted in the first place is that Nicalis felt the need to make new versions of those graphics in the first place. If they could use the Aeon Genesis text graphics, why wouldn't they?

Before I get started, none of this actually matters. All the versions of the game that (Might) infringe copyright are not being sold anymore. Do not harass Tyrone or anyone at Nicalis over this. Also, I apologize if this is common knowledge. The original version of Cave Story has several...

Yeah, TBH I never really thought that Jack dying was a reasonable interpretation, until I saw this (Otherwise good) video that randomly claims Jack to be dead like it is an undisputed fact at around the 8:00 mark. This got me thinking about whether we actually know if he's alive or not. I mean...

I just tested this out and to be honest the spur kinda sucks against final Ballos. You have to shoot his rotating eyes to damage him, and the eyes rotate away by the time you charge up another shot. Plus, charging a shot means you are not firing with Curly's nemesis, which with any other weapon...

I feel it's too "coincidental" for it to NOT be the intended strategy. Ballos's final phase is perfect for King's Blade. Some people don't like the lvl 3 Blade and think the lvl 2/1 Blade is better. It's pretty situational, and while there are bosses where the level 3 Blade is effective, I think...

This is a probably wrong theory but I might as well share it. Alright, what is the best weapon for defeating the final stage of Ballos? That's right, the Super Missile Launcher! However, what's the 2nd best weapon for the final stage of Ballos? I would argue it's the level 3 Blade. I'd argue...

Hmm, not sure if it's Kanpachi. While there are indeed 2 Kanpachi's, if Kanpachi ate a red flower, he would surely be carrying a comically oversized fishing rod.

Yeah I don't think there's 2 Mahins

Mahin can still be seen in jail if you backtrack from the last cave, so sorry, theory debunked.

Yeah the version of Gero Blaster we have is very old, much older than the one in the trailer. We'll have to see if we ever get a later build of the game

Since we see a cleaned up Mimiga Village graveyard in the credits, I think it's safe to assume a number of Mimiga return to Mimiga Village. It's safe to assume Kanpachi, Mahin, and Sandaime do return to the village. I like to assume that a number of the generic Mimiga in the plantation return...

Should be noted that Arthur was only killed by Misery/Balrog in the Aeon Genesis translation, the official translation makes it so that he was killed by "The Doctor himself", which seems like a very deliberate change. So I'd say that Arthur only has to be less powerful than the Doctor.

There was a thread on this topic way back in the day, this has been on my mind so I figure I would try to start a new discussion. Jack's fate is made ambiguous by the game. I think he's the only named character whose fate is left ambiguous. I'm pretty sure every other character is confirmed to...

Oh weird, I'll have to check that out. Are the leaderboards the same as the ones here?

The "Sanctuary Time Attack" mode in CS+ has pretty bizarre rules. They let you pick up a Polar Star, Fireball, Bubbler, Blade, Nemesis, and Spur. Bizarrely, you can't have both the Polar Star and the Spur, but you can have the Blade and Nemesis. No Snake and no Missiles of any kind are...

Wait, I just noticed! Noxid’s there! He’s number 3 on the Sanctuary Time Attack leaderboard (and he didn’t pick up a Nemesis for some reason) I don’t think he has a Mac, but I could be wrong. I guess it is possible this is including Linux users, but I can’t get this to work on Linux.

So I think most people here are aware of the fact that Cave Story+ on Steam has a leaderboard feature that has been broken for over 10 years. You complete a challenge, it tries to upload your score, and the game crashes. If you try to access the leaderboards later, it will also crash, making...

My bad! Did not know that existed! I don't have an Android and I always just saw it referred to as "Azarashi iOS". Well that's very good for the long term preservation of Azarashi mobile. Honestly, I don't think it's licensing. I think it's just because Cave Story 3D is kind of bad. With all...

Let's see where we are at in 2024: (I will obviously not tell you where to find pirated roms, but I'm going to assume that you are smart and can google things) There are only 2 versions of Cave Story still being sold: Cave Story+ on PC and Cave Story+ on Switch. Like I said in the original...

I FINALLY GOT THE UNSTOPPABLE ACHIEVEMENT LETS GOOOOOOOO

You're probably better off using doukutsu-rs rather than NXengine, it has more features, and is actively updated. I've also never had controller issues.

I'm thinking of someday making a video analyzing Cave Story 3D and how weird it is, so I've been recording my first play through. I'm pretty decent at getting through Blood Stained Sanctuary pretty quick, so whenever I do a play through I try to get a quick time. When I did my run, I was pretty...
