Official artwork of the Island

The island (referred to as Mimiga Island in Cave Story+'s Steam description) is the main setting where Cave Story takes place. It rests high above the surface world, and stays afloat by the power of the Core. While the exterior of the island appears rocky and cliff-like, inside are many intricate cave systems and secrets.

The island is inhabited by many species and critters, chief among them the Mimiga, whose species is gradually growing extinct because of the plans by The Doctor to control them, as well as a destructive war fought a decade ago on the island.

If Quote falls or jumps off the island, it results in an instant death, with the message "You were never seen again...".

The island contains the destroyed remains of many killer robots, although a few robots are still functioning, such as the disarmed recon robots in the Labyrinth.

After the player destroys the Undead Core, the island can be seen falling to the surface in a short cutscene.
