Cave Story/Tear Jerker: Difference between revisions

* The deaths of {{spoiler|King and Toroko}} in ''[[Cave Story (Video Game)|Cave Story]]'', made worse by {{spoiler|the player having to kill Toroko themselves after she's forcibly given the game's [[Psycho Serum]]}}. This is only made worse when you see the max level of The Sword. {{spoiler|King ''himself'' appears as a ghost, attacking your enemies.}} And then, a couple levels later, {{spoiler|you lose Dr. Booster and if you fail to get the rope, Curly Brace too. Curly doesn't even get a death scene. Just "There is no reply." from her drowned body after she gives you her air bubble. Thanks heaploads for the survivor's guilt, ''[[Cave Story (Video Game)|Cave Story]]''. When you leave, the shutter closes behind you, leaving her to drown.}} Add in the spooky dark music, and the result is just... ugh. Even worse is when {{spoiler|the entire island is breaking down, and it goes through screenshots of the island falling to pieces. And the second to last one you are forced to see is the exact same place where you left Curly to die. All set to gut-wrenchingly sad music.}} The dog you meet in the Plantation tells you to, {{spoiler|"Say hi to Curly for me!"}} If you didn't save her, it's a real sock in the gut. And as if one evil moment wasn't enough, {{spoiler|The Doctor then goes on to turn Sue and Misery into hideously mutated, mind-controlled puppets when he goes [[One-Winged Angel]]. To say nothing of whatever the hell happened to the Egg Corridor while you were in the Labyrinth}}.
