Proudly declaring that the max jetpack, the bubbler, and the fire were the greatest buttons to press in Cave Story. The greatest moments for me are really intense about examining those tools, but the mostly pantomimed plot and lush set pieces are also total home runs. Addresses the problem of Cave Story's true ending being behind very difficult content by making the additional story content extremely slight instead of making the play less difficult. I think this move says very constructive things about access and capability.
