Cave Story is a freeware platform-adventure video game released in 2004 for the PC. It was developed, designed, and programmed over five years entirely by Daisuke Amaya, art-name Pixel, in his free time. The game features classic 2D platform mechanics and is intended as an homage to the classic games that Pixel played in his youth, such as ''Metroid'' and ''Castlevania''.


The game focuses on an amnesiac silent protagonist who awakens in a cave. Through his explorations, he discovers a plot by the Doctor, a megalomaniac who intends to force the inhabitants of the cave to fight for him in his bid to conquer the world. The protagonist is thrust into the position of savior as he endeavours to defeat the Doctor.


After its initial release on the Internet, ''Cave Story'' slowly gained popularity as an indie game. It received near universal acclaim for its compelling story and gameplay. As a result, Nicalis, an independent video game company, worked with Pixel to bring the game to Nintendo's [[WiiWare]] service in 2010. The WiiWare version features more detailed artwork and additional gameplay modes, and has been nominated for 2010 ''Nintendo Power'' Awards WiiWare Game of the Year.

Cave Story is a freeware platform-adventure video game released in 2004 for the PC. It was developed, designed, and programmed over five years entirely by Daisuke Amaya, art-name Pixel, in his free time. The game features classic 2D platform mechanics and is intended as an homage to the classic games that Pixel played in his youth, such as Metroid and Castlevania.

The game focuses on an amnesiac silent protagonist who awakens in a cave. Through his explorations, he discovers a plot by the Doctor, a megalomaniac who intends to force the inhabitants of the cave to fight for him in his bid to conquer the world. The protagonist is thrust into the position of savior as he endeavours to defeat the Doctor.

After its initial release on the Internet, Cave Story slowly gained popularity as an indie game. It received near universal acclaim for its compelling story and gameplay. As a result, Nicalis, an independent video game company, worked with Pixel to bring the game to Nintendo's WiiWare service in 2010. The WiiWare version features more detailed artwork and additional gameplay modes, and has been nominated for 2010 Nintendo Power Awards WiiWare Game of the Year.

Game publisher Nippon Ichi Software released a picture of a Prinny wearing the same signature hat, scarf, and polar star of Cave Story's protagonist to promote their Nintendo 3DS remake of the game.

Problems

Bad Sound

If the sound plugin DSP HLE is set to 48,000 Hz, the Original Music will not play properly, producing tones that fail to stop playing. This is easily resolved by setting DSP HLE's Sample Rate to 32,000 Hz

Crashes

Dolphin may occasionally crash without explanation, despite the game running flawlessly. This appears to be resolvable simply by locking threads to cores.

End Credits/Reset crash

Cave Story calls on firmware/IOS functions to reset the game, in either the Home menu or at the end of the game credits. This may be resolved by an up-to-date NAND dump, but otherwise is harmless. This crash will not prevent unlocking Sanctuary Time Attack or Boss Attack modes.
