I've been thinking recently (Ow...)

What was the purpose of the Beast Fang?

Lost in development ?
Dummied out?
Part of some uber-secret plan for a new release of Cave Story?

Or a plot device to be exploited by whimsical hackers and modders?
Or maybe...
It's just there to confuse me deeply...
To eat away at my sanity and render me a homocid - wait, what sanity?

Before this drives me off the wall, I'm going to have to figure it into my mod...
Then maybe a nice loooooooooong sleep...

First in... 298 hours...
Give or take a few hours where I blacked out...
Where was I going with this?
Oh, right...
Beast Fang ---> Optional Boss Fight = Weapong-giving oppourtunity?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In the end, I'll just leave these words here and forget them, okay?
Good.

first of all did you have to write that in red and centre it?
it was hard to read >_>

and i think it was going to be a used item in the game but pixel probably just didn't find a use for it and forgot about it

Well... in Cave Story 2: Jenka's Nightmare (ITS A MOD!)

You can go back all the way to Mimiga Village when you reach the Outer Wall and go into the Yamashita Farm. Go all the way to the right of the map and you will find a sparkling item. Thats the beast fang. After you get it, you can go back to the Outer Wall and make your way to the top-right of the map (Yes, away from the wall). I suggest you use an infinite booster hack.

There, you will see a cat with its arms stretched out on a floating platform in the middle of nowhere and it will tell you that it wants revenge on a beast that killed its parents (I think) and that being shown and given the BEAST FANG will mean that it can confirm that the beast has been killed and that his vengence has been carried out. In return for your favour, you will get the spur (if you haven't already gotten it.)

I'm not too sure about the ORIGINAL Cave Story though... No time to try =P

2 things:
1: Sorry 'bout the centering thing, but red is (and always has been) my trademark colour in forums.

2: I love Jenka's Nighmare! Unfortunatly I gotted stuck somehow and now can't progress...
Or maybe I just suck.
o.o'
In any case - wait, you mean Pixel the Debug Kitty?
Damn...
I was going to do that...

Oh well...
I'll just re-write.
(Maybe some bizzare combination of items to get some other item?)
((Beast Fang + Ma Pignon + Clay Figure Medal = Life Pot?))

I know it but I'm not going to post it, since it was discussed 2 years before.
Yes I'm not joking 2 years, search for it or look in the old threads.

I gave up on Jenka's. -_-
I realized I wanted to create a new scenario...
Something...

[Also why did you change your font and color and centered everything?]

It's like Pixel the Debug Kitty: Useless unless you use it?

Fang isn't in Jenkas, it's in... one of seriousface's early mods, the 1st mod made with SW, I think. The beast fang was in resevoir's pool, bringing it to the debug kat woudl give you the spur, thus enabling you to have the snake, spur, super missiles, and sword/nemisis; making you overpowered as heck.

Not overpowered enough!
You need the regular missiles, too.
In fact, you need all the guns (blade too!).

But wow.
That's a lot of weapons.
I tried modding once to get Bubbler, Snake, PS, Spur, S. Missiles, Nemesis and Blade, but it glitched out and gave me all the weapons, includind a redundant blade and a couple of nothings.

o.o
DB = Flailure?

A Beast Fang just like it is to be found in Kirby Superstar's "The Great Cave Offensive" game. A refrence, I suppose?

You were likely either supposed to trade it in for the health upgrade which currently sits there in it's place or possibly some form of "money" which was never implemented but would be used to buy weapon upgrades rather than having the golden triangles immediately do their work.

But who knows. Who cares? I like to imagine it to have lead to a secret boss battle against some vicious beast which the hero Arthur drove back a long time ago, the tooth a piece taken from it... A good boss fight means everything to me.

Please note that haven't slept in close to 310 hours, and I am very tired, and I think my eyes are bleeding...

Yehp.

That aside, I'm wondering if anyone has made a mod where:
Beast Fang + Alien Medal + Clay Fig. Medal + Curly's Underwear + Chaco's Lipstick + Mushroom Badge (What I refer to collectively as the Power 6) = Something of some use?

Weapon?
Missile upgrade?
Boss fight for alternate ending?
A giant block of heavy pwnage falls from nowhere and breaks the island?

Oooo!
Boss fight with Chaco and her "suggestive" powers of waking up in your bed and making mimigas blush.

Doubt it.
Original Sin by RuneLancer, probably a few others I haven't played
Missile upgrade?
I 'unno.
Boss fight for alternate ending?
I'm planning to do it near the end of my mod.

Definitely not.

So there IS a limited number of possible ideas.

So, for my mod:
Power 6 = Nemesis
Maybe...
Or Spur.

I remember seeing a video somewhere (youtube maybe) where it showed him getting the fang. It showed him going into the farm and into the water where it should be but it wasn't there yet, he then left the farm area and returned back into it. It was then sparkling in the water and he got it.


Dunno how, never really cared either =x just thought I'd share.

Sounds like what I did with that Pixel the Debug Kitty hidden at the top of the outer wall...
Useless, but what about me isn't?

Welcome to the 21st Centuary, where almost every idea has been used at least once.

I'll find one.
It'll take a long time, but I'll find the last unique, original idea.

...

Has Star Trek: The Musical been done?

No. But musicals of other famous series have been done.

If you go into detail - You may get an original idea
If you don't go into detail - You get a done idea

A musical version of the war of 1812?

Oh!
How about Ham cookies?
