i like how it starts out as such a cute game with little storyline progression up to the sand zone and then OH NO THE GIRL ROBOT IS DEAD NOW THE RABBIT PEOPLE ARE BEING ENSLAVED THE DRAGONS ARE LYING ON THE GROUND WITH THEIR EYES TORN OUT AND NOW SHE'S ACTUALLY ALIVE AND THE DOCTOR PLANS TO END THE WORLD THEN SUDDENLY WE'RE IN HELL AND THERE'S A WIZARD AND ANGELS ARE ATTACKING WHAT IS HAPPENING
Antonio Tunjic OH FUCK THE ISLAND IS FALLING BECAUSE OF A DEMONIC HELMET THING THAT POSESSES THE WEARER AND CAUSES ANIMALS TO GO APE SHIT INSANE AND OH WHATS THIS A GIANT LIZARD CROCODILE THING IN THE SAND TRYING TO EAT YOU AND OH LOOK A FREAKING GIANT FISH THAT ALSO WANTS TO EAT YOU AND WITCHES AND GIANT LUNCHBOXES AND MONSTERS AND GIANT ISLAND CORES AND TOP OF THAT LITERALLY TRAVERSE HELL ITSELD SHOOTING ANGELS AND A GIANT CRUSHY THING THAT WANTS TO KILL YOU don't even get me started on balrog
+fasscust That's because of the core... not because of the demon crown, Doctor possessed that core, and Quote had to destroy the core to kill the Doctor
If you listen carefully (or if you're as obsessed as I am about this soundtrack), you'll notice that the drum track in this song is the exact same as the one in Mischievous Robot, which plays in Egg Corridor 1. Even the segway into the beat change is the same. I seriously love the tone shift between the two songs. Mischievous had a harmony between the two lead tracks, a super active bassline and an even more so active background melody. However, Scorching's background melody keeps the song together and sounds dire and urgent. The bass line is less active and a bit repetitive, but it gives off a final fantasy vibe after the pattern change. The leads aren't harmonizing at all in this song and take turns playing, never playing while the other is. Also, the whole note harmony sounds like an 8-bit organ, signifying the death and destruction taking place in the Egg Corridor since you last left. It goes from happy, catchy first level theme to something even darker and sadder. As soon as I stepped into Egg Corridor? I was shocked at what had happened the Egg Corridor I knew and loved. Zombie Dragons? Explosive Blobs? Not to mention the absence of my favorite elephants and bunny critters! Mind you, this happens directly after you decide what ending you want your game to be, so chances are you just lost Curly and facing the corruption and destruction of your first level. Now that's fuckin' stressful. That's like if you revisited the first level of Mario, only to find it a nuclear wasteland. Cave Story really gets good once you get out of the Labyrinth and I love it. I swear to God, Pixel is amazing at conveying mood through his music, all while keeping them super catchy, interesting and well-written. And to make things even more interesting, Pixel can't even read music and he designed the program used to create this soundtrack by HIMSELF. Pixel is a god amongst men, much less video game developers.
After the tragedies that stroke Quote, now he's presented with a scene all too familiar all too horrible. All of those he would call 'friend' have vanished, and suddenly, all hell has broken loose in the Egg Corridor. Now, the Egg Corridor wasn't exactly a nice place before... But this song really hits home that everything is truly fucked.
This game seriously makes the player feel guilty about fighting some enemies. First Toroko, then the dragons, then finally fighting Sue during the Undead Core battle. I can't have been alone in thinking Sue was going to die just like Toroko when that happened.
I was a child when I played this game, my father installed it and told me "hey, I have a surprise for you." I thought 'crap, a mario look-alike... i don't think I'll like this' Hell, could I be any more wrong!! I loved it right after the Mimiga's Village. I was at such a young age, and no game I had played made me turn back to a previous level and find out that it changed... and so drastically! Not only did this blew my infant mind "how did they change the level?!", but I was so sad to see the baby dragons dying and crying blood. HOLY SHIT! At that time my english was subpar and I could hardly follow the story, but it was clear someone had messed up the dragons... boy, was I mad, I was determined to find the bastard who did this. And then came... Moonsong... Pixel, you son of a bitch! Master Mood-swinger, and Breaker of Feelings. You created an art masterpiece.
Am I the only person who felt insanely sad listening to this in combination with the scene? like OH MY GOD THE POOR DEFENSELESS DRAGONS KILLED FOR NO REASON AND THE WORLD IS ENDING AND AAAAAUGH ;~;
I felt vengeful. The scene just before entering EC was so depressing with the empty village and the dead music. This got me pumped up to go and kill the doctor. Oh God what an amazing game.
except for the fact that this wasn't quote's fault. It's kazuma's. When he put in the password to hatch the egg, it exploded, causing the Egg Corridor(?) to be in ruins, including making the eggs hatch earlier than intended, causing them to become zombies.
@ohohothisrocks Some people just play games for fun, some actually get into the game emotionally. Either way is a viable way to play games, it's just that some people really cry during sad parts of a game and some people are like "yeah ok, how do I skip this cutscene?"
This song made me realize that i've been sitting at my computer for 7 hours straight playing the game, and that I'm barely halfway through. I shall continue with my Spur blazing bright, and my Whimsical Star not being a fright to anything, since it's damage output stinks.
Good advice, however with touch screen and me sucking with a keyboard, it makes it very difficult. Then again if I had a controller then I think I could do it better...
What happened at the Sand Zone was like being a care-free happy dog, being kicked in the side. You couldn't expect in, and you were just... upset. The Egg Corridor, at the second visit, is like being that same care-free dog, in bandages, being kicked again.
@ohohothisrocks I felt incredibly saddened when Curly dies. Then when I realized I could save her, I was angry. That's how you know you're playing a great game.
This was really the moment where I realized I HATED the Doctor. When I saw the dead dragons, I thought, 'But..they're only babies! How could anyone do this?!' And then I saw that one egg that was shattered and the nearby carcass, and realized he had been literally ripping them out of their eggs... The fact that he zombified them just took the cake. Doctor, you're going down.
At first I felt kinda bad for the deadzombiedragons. But then they shot fire at me and ruined my new shoes. Then some serious ass kicking was initiated.
I'm a veteran of old-school gaming...and for me, this and the Core battle were the scenes that showed me, 'okay, yes, this genre still has some life in it that Megaman and Castlevania haven't battered to bloody lifelessness.' Shook me to the bone for a moment. Which brings me to my next thought: Has anyone ever tried skinning the zombie dragons to look like protagonists of other platforming games that refuse to die? :P

This theme, the Main theme and Last Cave will always be my favorite. Also, with those and the Balcony theme you can sum up pretty well the whole game's feelings. God, how can't you marry such a perfect game?!
This part of the game reminds me a lot of that stage in Megaman zero 2 where Elpizo command an attack against Neo acardia and then, when you are sent to bring them help, you found the entire army being dead already. Also the stage is full of robotic bats fliying around.
When I was playing this version of Egg Corridor, I was very sad and tried to avoid killing baby dragons. They looked so sorrowful, I assumed they were alive, blind, and afraid of everything :'( shit now I'm crying
As they are stated as zombies, and are crying blood... I couldn't help but take them down. I couldn't bring myself to let them live as neither dead nor alive. This stage brings stress for me, but I absolutely LOVE the song that plays here. It's dynamic, sad and... It pushes you forward.
If I had to guess, it happened when we blew up the core (Not undead core, obs). Keep in mind, that's the heart of the Island, so it's not that far of a stretch to believe this would have some adverse effect on the rest of the areas.
Quote might've caused this, by destroying the core. And so when he did, everything went BOOM and so the zombified baby dragons came outta there eggs... Did quote cause this? IMO I think he did
@ElliotCarver I found that out Later... You can Save Both Curly AND The Professor Booster. ;n; But then I felt bad for letting them Die on the first Run-though. But then I saved them both. ;u;
@MrStrifeDP For me, It wasn't the Zombified Dragons, no. It was The events leading up to it. He makes Curly die in a heroic Sacrifice, He Kills Professor Booster, And, Finally, Kidnaps all the other Mimiga, the ones you were getting so close to. And, This is AFTER he forces the sweet and innocent Tokoro to change, also Killing King. That Doc had it coming for a long time.
this was so fucked up when i played this for the first time and guess what it was THE BEST its so shocking to see the newborn dragons dying in pain and how everything exploded
I was completely lost, because I didn't know where Sue was to finally find the Doctor and beat the game, so I decided to go back to the egg corridor. I sincerely love this section of the game. It was so unexpected and was placed so well in the storyline: All the mimigas disappeared from the Village, the Doctor had the red flowers, Curly was never seen again and there was only professor Booster to talk to. Perfect Game.
No, it can't have been Egg no. 00 hatching, otherwise it is likely that the Egg Corridor would have been in a state when you first arrive. I reckon it has something to do with an energy shift upon killing the Core.
As I rushed through the corridor, these dragons shot at me in fear. I felt so awful for them, so I sped right past them, ignoring their firing. On one dragon, right above it was a large spike. I sped past both as I saw the spike fall and impale the poor thing. It was tear jerking, but I had to move on.
But when you look at them, they don't look angry AT ALL. Rather, they look sad, helpless, afraid of everything and blind. I think Doctor exploded the egg corridor when most of them already hatched, when surviving dragons tried to cling for their lives.
I love this section of the game... you go back to the egg corridor not expecting anything different, but then you see the mass destruction and this epic music going. Really got me pumped up and got me to feel like I had something to fight for.
I believe that when Kazuma hatched Egg X that it hatched the entire corridor and that one of two things happened to give them their zombie appearance the dragons weren't ready to be hatched or the enemies in the corridor killed them, but I don't know how'd they be zombies, so I like to stick with the theory that they weren't ready to be hatched.
@PKM113 I just got the + version about 2 days ago. I nearly cried when I left her drowning. When I found out I could save her, I deleted that file asap xD
I think the forced hatching of Egg #00 is what caused all the havoc. Once all the other eggs' life support systems shut off and they hatched, the malformed fetuses of dragons came out.
Oh my god, when I did my first playthrough, I almost cried because literally everyone was dying. (First playthrough, I didn't save Curly and I got the Booster v0.8)
wow I must either have no emotions or just dense, I felt nothing, no sadness for those dragons, no anger for the doctor, I just killed everything in my way. I think it's the latter XD
My theory, without knowing any real info in relation to the dragon babies, is that the doctor came by, blew shit up, and then revived a lot of the dragons to serve his purpose of killing stuff.
I have a theory sort of like yours; you know how Sue needs to have Kazuma hack the password? Well, I think that that quick-hatch program was connected to ALL the eggs, so when Kazuma cracked it all of the eggs hatched at the same time and the zombie dragons went wild! The explosion might have been the sisters breaking into the control room. Anyway it doesn't really matter what happened. All that matters is that we get to listen to this AMAZING music.
@Luis Alejandro Correa Zarate there is also the little tunnel the blitz thing runs along. In my version that tunnel is still accessable and goes around the sisters hut. But the bossfight really does activate on interact trigger. Try the door anyway.
@Luis Alejandro Correa Zarate there is nothing you need to do on balcony other than meat some little dude and inquire about trading your primary out for a nemesis. A gun that operates in reverse where its strongest at level 1 and weakest at 3 Max
@LotDW2007 Like how I cried when I left Curly to die on my first playthrough? I still get teary eyed when I think about it. Excuse me while I cry in agony in the corner.
it could be that all the eggs (excluding eggs 06, 01, & 00) weren't ready to hatch just yet and this is the end result of them hatching too soon. and i'm assuming the zombie dragons are more than capable of destroying the egg corridor.
Both eggs, 01 and 06 are empty when you first go into the Egg Corridor, the dragons that hatched from them are most likely "The Sisters", the twin bosses you fight before finding Kazuma in the Egg 00 room.
I never really understood what happened here. I thought that maybe when Kazuma tried to hatch egg 00, he accidentally hatched all of the other eggs... leaving the dragons (at least, the ones who hadn't died from premature hatching) to wreak havoc on the whole place. But that wouldn't explain the zombies, would it?
core went boosh. then doctor went boosh. there was a big boosh. 00 hatched and that made big boosh. and egg corridor took allllll of the abuse from the events that unfolded.
Again, I'm guessing Doctor (or Misery, since it sounds like her kind of gig) attacked them. I'm guessing they saw the dragons as a threat to their plans. They didn't go into detail. Remember it started out as an indie game, don't expect alot professional work.
He's a WAY better villain than any of those doctors, and he doesn't need a bunch of robots to fight. (well, technically he WAS going to use an army, but he himself fought well on his own)
