Physical for cave story is likely to become fairly rare, especially the first print run with the instruction manual and music cd.

I paid good money for this Dynex!
Cool. I beat
. Wasn't absurdly difficult, but it was definitely a satisfying challenge. I could've done it without the life pot without too much struggle, I think, but I'm glad I had it on-hand.
What a great fucking game. I wish there were more like it.

Congrats man! Yeah it isn't impossible but having the life pot gives you a much needed sense of security. Beating Cave Story is tough because it's so special... I've been waiting fot a prequel for like 15 years
It's not really the same, but you should check out the Wind Fortress challenge. I'm not sure how you unlock it in this version, but it's based off a scrapped stage that didn't make it to the final game and it's pretty fun and the music is beautiful.

Yeah, I'll check out the challenges tonight. I'm not ready to stop playing this game
Best music in the game is the Remastered is the waterway theme: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-5WyKoUVWQc&list=PL6PHQCxAqpJRdygu_PBTa_iUBmDfppwgz&index=19

Beat it. Think I'm gonna pass on the best ending. I don't need the frustration and I wanna remember this game fondly.
Having a hard time with the last cave (hidden)....Can get to the mini boss but usually with only enough hp to withstand 1 hit and I always choke haha...
What's a normal amount of hp to have at this point in the game? I have 47 and I feel like I've found quite a few life capsules, but I'd be willing to go back for more if it would help me pass this part.
Also I got the machine gun, am I screwed for the last boss?

Think 50 is the max before tackling true end.

I know the feeling -- I didn't get what the big deal was when I played this back in 2010. Now, I'm just fucking obsessed with it. It's sooooo fucking good.

Sooooooo Hard mode is impossible to beat without a rom hack right? There's no way you can get through the sanctuary with just 3 hearts lol. One hit from anything and you're dead

Lol, just decided to run through that last segment again. Ay yo, last boss is a punk bitch now. I didn't even need that healing pot.
You guys, seeing new fans fall in love with this game is the best. It's one of my favorite games and so special for me.
This is making me reconsider my Hard run... Yeah, I'll try again once I'm done with Normal and maybe Curly mode.
Hell yeah, that feeling is great. I can consistently beat the sanctuary in like 9 minutes (I take my time) which is crazy looking back at how I failed miserably so many times at first. The challenge is super fun.

Yep. And I just ran through the boss rush mode and blew through all of them fools. I didn't realize there were so damn many bosses in this game. Phew.
Loving the game but this is really killing my vibe.

Played this for an hour or two years ago and didn't think much of it.
For some reason I bought it on Switch and now it has clicked. This game is so good.

So how do I unlock the last challenge mode? Right now it just says "???"
That's how you know this is a Japanese game.

The game told me Curly's panties have no use. You're telling me it unlocks an entire new mode? Gimme them panties!

Right now, I'm playing through Curly Mode... because, why not play through this a 4th time? Uhm... but yeah, I should probably take a break after that.
Holy! The way he handles the falling blocks is beautiful.

Why does a robot even need underpants anyway?
Just caved and imported this for about 57 AUD. Play asia had it cheaper but it could take a month for it to arrive and usually when I buy things from them it takes a long time. I wanna collect for the Switch and I missed out on the first print Binding of Isaac so I had to make sure I get the manual and the CD for this one. With no news of an Aussie release importing it was the next best thing. Can't wait to experience this game for the first time!

The original PC soundtrack, and the other is a soundtrack remastered using the Famicom's sound system.

So Cave Story + is the soundtrack that was made specifically for that version of the game, and the freeware soundtrack is in this too?'
Edit: Found the answer courtesy of USgamer! Organya (the original), Famitracks (a sorta-enhanced version of the original), Cave Story+ (of the PC update), Remastered (of Cave Story 3D)
Just finished the game (during a flight to Atlanta no less) and I just want to confirm
that after you beat it you don't unlock anything and the game just keeps your last save, right? Last save for me was that pre-fab house before Misery. My ending had me falling and getting saved by Kazama and a green dragon. Another thing: did I miss any save points between Misery, Doctor and the Core? Kinda messed up they make you go through all that without a break.
Side note: I used the extra health pack earlier on in the game, like a dumbass.

Here's how to unlock the challenges:
To`answer a few other questions:
1. Yes, there are no save points between
2. Easy mode
3. The last three jukebox tracks
Good luck everyone; this game is a masterpiece and I'm loving the switch version. The quality of life enhancements they made are awesome and the graphics, while only slightly upgraded, look great on the switch.
Three of them are only unlocked once you beat the Blood Stained Sanctuary and the true final boss. Machine Gun challenge is unlocked once you unlock Curly. Sand Zone is unlocked once you reach the Sand Zone. Nemesis challenge is unlocked if you get the Nemesis.
To`answer a few other questions:
1. Yes, there are no save points between
the start of the Blood Stained Sanctuary and the final boss. If you got the life pot from Jenka though you can use that to help prolong your life.
2. Easy mode
does unlock challenges and the true ending. I did it myself since I can never beat the Blood Stained Sanctuary on normal.
3. The last three jukebox tracks
are unlocked with the corresponding challenges (since these tracks only play during the challenges)

As soon as people import the game from the US and stop pretending like Nicalis is ever going to do that.
Correct, there
are no save points during the final boss rush.
Beating the game with the normal ending unlocks nothing.
I'm not sure if there are any new extras in this game, but based on the CS+ Steam version the unlock requirements should be:
Machine Gun Challenge-Get the Machine Gun
Nemesis Challenge-Get the Nemesis
Curly Story-Find Curly's Panties
Boss Rush-Beat the game with the true ending
Sanctuary Time Attack-Beat the game with the true ending
Wind Fortress-Beat the game with the true ending
Nemesis Challenge-Get the Nemesis
Curly Story-Find Curly's Panties
Boss Rush-Beat the game with the true ending
Sanctuary Time Attack-Beat the game with the true ending
Wind Fortress-Beat the game with the true ending
