  • Boss rush plays the seal chamber music before fighting the Heavy Press, but then plays the usual core room music before fighting Ballos. This was probably a silly mixup. I'm not sure if this is in every NiCALiS port.

  • The credits for the normal ending have the info for Balrog as "A new friend", which only applies in the best ending.

  • If you confirm 'curly story' on the menu, & check the empty save slots, the "best time" displays a ridiculous "99'59'9"

Balrog did help you and curly out of the boulder chamber, so "A new friend" still sorta applies... Almost.

It was in the Wii version, if I recall correctly.

I'm a bit surprised to see this one, since that's something it seems shouldn't be happening if that's part of the original story mode, and I'm pretty sure the original Cave Story didn't have that problem. I guess I shouldn't put that past NICALiS, though. I also don't recall whether or not that problem was present in earlier versions of CS+.

Let's not forget the various tiles in the game that are just gone, replaced by air or somebody did a lazy job iirc.

It's not uncommon for games to display best times as the max by default until a new record is set so it's not really that uncommon.

One of the Monster-X/Undead Misery fish missile sprites has un-rescaled eyes. Like one of the directional frames has pixely square eyes. This is from WiiWare to Switch now, and even in Halloween Mode

That's why.

1 obvious issue:

Leaderboard support for Steam is so broken, it crashes the game on access.

Freeware, because you can basically play all of them with it.

Both original japanese version and fan translation doesn't have that problem. CS+ does, from earliest versions.

On the topic of versions, why is it that people hate the wii version?
Tyrone is a piece of shit, the sound quality is fucking terrible, some of the translation changes make absolutely no sense, and (this might just be for me), but the screen is slightly blurred. Even though i found out about Cave Story through the Wii Ware port, after five years of playing the original CS, it makes me wonder why the hell i even cared about Cave Story after playing that version (Granted i was like, seven, but still)

the music is hot garbage
ditto.
Also me personally, I hated the feel of the sideways wii-mote, I never had a wii-pro-controller, so it was a miracle I ever got the best ending on wii.

Can you not change it?
There was an update where you can play the original music, as given by this boss rush video of the Wii version
