Meanwhile, beneath Grasstown...

WHO YOU GONNA CALL?

[YoshiQuest]

@alexdz123321 CAVE BUSTERS!!!!!!!

[mamamario64ds]

this should be misery's theme. doctor: he has a theme

Balrog: He has a theme

Misery: I THINK NOT.

[deesies]

where are these unused tracks coming from?

[darkshadow9581]

@deesies Cave Story Beta, almost a decade ago

[tristanender]

Why does this remind me of Balrog and Sand Zone?

[dhunter1990]

I think this song and the Wind fortress could have been included as side quests, if he had invented a pair of new weapons and maps. It could have been WONDERFUL. D:

OH, AND WITH ASSISTANCE OF CURLY!! *o*

[ArceusShaymin]

I hear elements of Balrog's Theme!!!

[huhhhwhat]

Maybe this was going to be related to that one tree statue carver guy?

[ebob162]

this was from the beta

[genoNyght64]

I hear a bit of Balrog's theme in there, along with a slight bit of Jenka 1.

Might just be me though.

[4dannyx]

Maybe not Plantation, but maybe for an extended part of the Labrynith.

[MrChidna]

They could've used this for plantation instead of the title theme.

[CrispyYoshi]

@MrChidna *He

;)

[EightBitGG2]

@MrChidna They could have, but should they have? No.

[Arceus9295]

@MrChidna YES

GOD YES

[TheGag96]

@MrChidna I wonder if I could hack this into Cave Story...

[Atma505]

@MrChidna whaaat, why so many thumbs up? the title theme used there was epic, you never heard the entire thing during the beginning

[cyber952]

@Atma505 You did if you hung around the title screen long enough.

[Atma505]

@cyber952 which I would tend to do to hear the whole theme, but I'm sure most people didn't B)

[BreinStijn]

@MrChidna

It's a he :P

[alexdz123321]

@MrChidna

The, err, indoor arias of the plantation! I think the main theme is perfect already for the purpose.

[halfaheartbongobongo]

I REALLY hate it when there are unused songs because it always implies unused locations and dang it would be cool if Cave Story was even longer, my imagination is going wild from imagining a place where people of the root might live

[megabyte01]

@halfaheartbongobongo On the one hand, I love cave story and wished that there was more to explore. at the same time, all the levels in the game have a high degree of polish already. If Pixel had included extra levels at the expense of the game's quality, it would have harmed the game.

[halfaheartbongobongo]

@megabyte01 i guess so, but if there was a way to create more quantity without sacrificing quality ;)

[Exvzz]

@megabyte01 It could have had a little more backtrack elements like in Metroid, maybe for just extra items and secrets. Ever tried talking to Prof. Booster while having the Mimiga mask on?

[InsanimationStudios]

@halfaheartbongobongo Another thing about Cave Story is that a lot of things aren't explained. Who built the Labyrinth? Jenka? Did she also create the core? Why? To counteract the burden Balos' dark powers put on the island? What's Pooh Black's deal? Why does he look like Balrog? Is Pooh Jenka's own personal henchman gone feral? Who are all the other crown wearers? Where they evil like The Doctor? Why did Misery and Balrog want the crown created in the first place? Who created Quote and Curly?

[Jaller8240]

@InsanimationStudios Well, remember, Balrog does call Jenka his aunt. Technically, him and Pooh Black could be brothers.

[TranceCore3]

If you get the best ending, you'll find out that Misery is the one who created the crown. Jenka did indeed create the labyrinth (it's explained clearly in game) The core itself could be some natural phenomenon. it IS a floating island, and something has to be making it float. In this case it's the core. Why the island floats after ballos AND the core are destroyed is something that needs to be explained. I have reason to believe that curly and quote's created are unimportant

[TranceCore3]

Also in game, it is hinted that Pooh Black is a ghost. Maybe it's a ghost of a previous "Balrog" or a failed attempt at creating something as strong or stable as Balrog. In any case though, as far as this game's storyline goes, it needs a prequel, and perhaps a sequel. Or maybe just a series of prequels, because to my understanding, there has been more than two wars in the past events of this game (one for each crown holder)

[iliekmudkipss]

@TranceCore3 The plot holes are what makes indie games fun, and it'd be a futile attempt. What if the prequel isnt as great as this game? What if covering one plot hole made another? That's the glory of a game such as this, and VVVVV, and many other great indie titles.

[TranceCore3]

I could care less if the game is good or bad. I just want this game's universe expanded.

[iliekmudkipss]

@TranceCore3 Then you dont understand the first concept of an indie game.

[TranceCore3]

And?

[Fomortiis0]

@TranceCore3 I'm pretty sure Ballos is actually pulling down on the island.

[XDTails]

@Fomortiis0 With his fat ass who knows what else.I mean really when he turns into the god damn ball it's almost half the room.

[Hypnedre]

This really should've been used.
