Settings and Modifiers

## Settings

In the settings menu of your active game, you will come across settings. These settings are basic modifications that help to generally make your experience more comfortable.

### Functions

* **Text Skip:** Allows you to auto-skip text
* **Volume:** Allows you to adjust the volume of your game
* **SFX:** Allows you to adjust the sound effects of your game
* **Brightness:** Allows you to adjust the game's brightness
* **Motion Controls:** Allows you to enable or disable motion controls

## **Post Game Modifier**

The Modifier is a modification function of sorts that can be found during post game. You can apply it to empty save files before you begin the game on the save file screen and, in return, you can customise how you'll be able to experience the game during subsequent replays when you open and use said empty files. This modifier option is unavailable to any files that have already been opened and played in before post game. If you delete your first file that allowed you to gain access to the modifier, the modifier will be something that you can play with in that fresh new file.

### Functions

* **Attack Modifier U:** This modifies the amount of damage output that enemies and bosses do to Mario and his partners. Modifier amounts include: 0.25x, 0.5x, 0.75x, 1x, 1.25x, 1.5x, 1.75x, 2x
* **Attack Modifier I:** This modifies the amount of damage output that you and your partners do to enemies and bosses. Modifier amounts include: 0.25x, 0.5x, 0.75x, 1x, 1.25x, 1.5x, 1.75x, 2x
* **Defence Modifier U:** This modifies the amount of DEF enemies and bosses have. Modifier amounts include: +1, +2, +3, +4, +5
* **Defence Modifier I:** This modifies the amount of DEF Mario and his partners have. Modifier amounts include: +1, +2, +3
* **Scene Skip:** A togglable switch. Allows you to skip lengthy cutscenes (including animated ones).
* **Foe Food Finder:** This modifies the frequency that enemies can have their naturally generated items in their inventory. Modifier amounts include: 0, 0.5x, 1, 1.5x, 2x
* **Complex Foods for Foes:** A togglable switch. Allows enemies to use more complex food items (including cooked items) that they would otherwise not be able to obtain. Also opens up the possibility for foes to have any kind of item or food in their inventory instead of a select few.

The aim of this little post-game modifier system is to both make a more customisable experience for future replays and also get an idea of modding games. The idea was inspired from a stat modifier in the Paper Mario: TTYD 1 Hour Challenge modifier.
Stella and Snippy

## Trivia

* Stella is one of three characters who have remained as partners ever since the concept's creation in 2013, with the other two being Berry and Goji, and Tenachi.
* Stella's name is based off of Star, alluding to her homeland.
* The concept of Snippy is based off of the post Super Paper Mario games, where a 'spirit' is assigned to Mario on their journey. The idea is meant to be that, like Mario, other characters are experiencing their own different journeys as well.

Terrain Medals

## Quick Navigation

Covering most of Rockstar Island, Paleo Plains is mostly home to introduced wild enemies from Super Mario World, as well as Yoshis. They all roam peacefully in their land unless disturbed, in which case they will chase the disturber down relentlessly. With all its recent fossil finds, Paleo Plains has been much topic over discoveries, but since archaeologists and researchers want to preserve the land they will only try to find and use fossils that either appear above ground or are located in the uppermost soils.

*For its history, see:* Rockstar Island/History

## Plot Relevancy

*For its plot relevancy, see:* Chapter 1

In Summary: Mario and Dr. Kyorito traverse through Paleo Plains in order to get to the Ancient Altar. As they go deeper into the pathway, they become more aware of the Crexagon's presence and have to narrowly avoid it.

## Points of Interest

* **Dillusional Forest:** A forest that makes you think twice before entering. Being in it can cause hallucinations due to the strange chemicals that surround the area related to the Dino Rhinos scorching the forest's centre, otherwise prior to their introduction this forest wouldn't have produced these side effects naturally.
	+ **Scorched Lands:** A small area deep in Paleo Plain's Dillusional Forest that is completely scorched. It is inhabited by a large herd of Dino Rhinos, with its leader being an Albino Rhino that does not take kindly to strangers.
* **Dine-O River:** On the pathway to the Ancient Altar is a small flowing creek and bridge that has been formed through fallen down trees. It is a frequent spot for lots of wild Super Mario World dinosaurs who come down to the creek to drink its water. No dinosaurs will attack Mario at this point as the creek has become a place of temporary truce and tranquility, which makes it a peaceful meditation spot for many.

## Trivia

* My idealised music that accompanies this area goes along with the following Jean Jacques Perrey songs:
	+ "Boys and Girls": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T-cxT85Po2U
	+ "Les Trois Pierres Blanches": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dpUlaRYuaaA
* Paleo Plains is the earliest area to get Dr. Kyorito's Hidden Ability.
* Disillusional Forest is a reference to Super Mario World's Forest of Illusion
Main Four

The titular Quad Cast seen in every mainline Mario game, Mario, Luigi, Peach, and Bowser each play a crucial role in the overall plot.

### **Mario**

The titular silent protagonist of the Paper Mario games, Mario is a daring and brave hero that is willing to lend a helping hand to anyone and everyone he comes across. His heart is pure and he is always willing to do things for the greater good. When it comes to friends, he is always willing to help them out and support them, even if his own opinions don't exactly align with their own, and is always willing to cheer them up and help them achieve what they want and need.

### **Luigi**

Brother of Mario, Luigi is the more cowardly one of the two. On paper and tying into the Paper Mario interpretation of Luigi, he tends to exaggerate his previous adventures but when actually faced with the challenges he so exaggerated he tends to cower and become afraid. The reason he does is is due to the fact that he is secretly very envious of how much more recognised and brave his brother is, and desperately wishes that he was just like who his brother is. When having become much more acquainted with the other two, Luigi becomes much more playful and jokester-like as opposed to his more envy-coated boasting side, and is extremely caring and anxious, extremely alert and aware of his surroundings in terms of danger, and overall has a sweeter demeanour.

### **Peach**

The titular Princess, Peach is a very dutiful and responsible princess who despises dirtying her royal position. When not being caring, she is incredibly smart and observant, and is able to spot small things that could be of incredible use in order to escape into a safer area. In the beginning, Peach acts more of a support but really wants to learn about how to be more confident in her fighting prowess in order to potentially defend herself in future critical situations, and when she learns this she starts getting more powerful offensive moves that allow her to hold her own when the situation comes to it.

### **Bowser**

Usually the titular antagonist of the mainline series, Bowser finds himself in the occasional protagonist position once again. Naturally confident and boisterous, Bowser has a loud mouth and isn't afraid to speak what's on his mind. He is more brain than brawns and whilst powerful, can attack enemies without a second thought which can often land him in undesirable decisions due to his recklessness. Being a father and active leader of a large group of henchmen, Bowser has a lot of experience when it comes to giving others motivation even if he may have to take the person in questions down a few pegs in their ego; tough love as he calls it. Bowser strictly serves his antagonist role at first and didn't want to help protagonists, but as he spends more time with them he lowers that rule and begins enjoying his time hanging around them more, becoming more of a wild joker.
Rockshore Cliff

House of the Goomba Siblings

Rockshore Shop

Restaurant by the Rocks

City Lover Medal

Dedicated Tourist Medal

## Quick Navigation

A quiet, small town in the southern regions of Rockstar Island. Where the air is freshest and the tides are mostly calm, this little town finds itself as the heart of archaeological finds, and the most desired place for University students to travel to in order to study for their dream professions. When you kick back and relax after a long day of studying or exploration, the air hits you with a nostalgic feeling and it makes you never want to leave. Many students who study here often end up staying if their professions are available.

*For its history, see:* Rockstar Island/History

*For its plot relevancy, see:* Chapter 1

## Points of Interest

* **Vanilla Dome University:** The town's heart and centre, Vanilla Dome University helps facilitate overseas University students in making sure that they do the best to achieve their dream job. It is run by a diverse range of professional and experienced teachers, one of which is Dr. Kyorito. *For more information, see:* Vanilla Dome University.
	+ **Vanilla Dome Campus:** A campus for the residents of Vanilla Dome University. Perhaps if you come back after the game is completed, you'll meet some very special characters who wish to get into Vanilla Dome University for their own reasons.
* **House of the Goomba Siblings:** In a house near Rockshore Cliff's port reside two Goomba Siblings, Goomstin and Rachael. It is here where Mario starts off his adventures in Crescent Island after being rescued. *For more information, see:* House of the Goomba Siblings.
* **Restaurant by the Rocks:** A small restaurant frequented by many locals for its wonderful food and dining area. It also is home to some unique food that cannot be found anywhere else in the game, so be sure to stock up if you want some interesting dishes! It is also home to one of the many cooking areas in the game, so be sure to check in if you want some nice standard and unique food items!
* **Rockshore Shop:** A lovely little shop run by a Toad. Be sure to check in for any items or badges that you'll need! Rockshore Shop will automatically be connected to the Global Shop Network when Mario registers and accesses its services.

## Trivia

* Although now lost, the earliest design for Rockshore Cliff dates back to 2015. Its concept of being a town near the shoreline was established, but the plot surrounding the town is unknown.
	+ In a 2017 draft drawing for all the bosses, it is shown that the Boss for Chapter 1 appears to be a three headed Chomp-Cerberus creature. If my memory serves me correct, the Chapter involved having to investigate strange noises coming from beyond the mountain range.
* The houses for Rockshore Cliff were originally based off of coastal Sydney houses before transitioning to a more sleep and Modern style.
* My idealised music that accompanies this city goes along the lines of Jean Jacques Perrey's "Sentimental Trip": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QKWbD97x5xI

Mt. Ignus

## Quick Navigation

The infamous mountain of Ruff n' Tuff Shorelines, Mt. Ignus has stood firm and dormant for thousands of years and doesn't really look like it'll erupt anytime soon... right? Its volcanic materials from past eruptions have created some of the richest soils to date, and played a very important factor in what the place looks like today. It is said by Mayor Andee that the two deities once worshipped on the island live here.

## Plot Relevancy

*See:* Chapter 2

Mario and his partners face the two deities, Goosti and Choompa, after their questions of purpose have been wrongly answered by a mysterious fellow. Believing that it is their duty to protect the Crystal Griffin part and terrorise the city, they face the group. After being defeated, Mario and his partners retrieve the second Crystal Griffin piece and snap the duo back into their senses.

## Trivia

* Mt. Ignus was originally named Mt. MagmaMagma before changing to its current name in 2020. This original name was a reference to Mt.LavaLava from Paper Mario 64.
Deep Down Town

## Quick Navigation

An underground city carved out of the natural landscape, its almost otherworldly and ancient appearance proves itself to be a one-of-a-kind, new ancient find.

## Appearance

Deep Down Town is located in a small solutional cave opening. Its appearance is reminiscent of the Spruce Tree Houses in Colorado, having been carved out of the natural rock landscape and into a city. This carving is said to be both a collaborative effort between dragon and man as evidenced by the potential of large claw marks on the walls behind the city.

Running near the city (with artificially carved out pathways to flow into) is a glowing river, which would've presumably been one of two major light source for the underground civilisation. Small, permanent cups can be found on the walls which presumably would've been torches that would've been lit up by Fire Dragons, allowing the torches to burn for an extended period of time.

Some of the houses are in ruin, others partially preserved, whilst some are fully reserved with furniture, valuables, and potential materials located inside.

## How to Get There

You need to have at least completed Chapter 5 and have at least accessed one cave in Wyvern Den in order to access the Deep Down Town. There will be a request on the Bulletin Board posted by Dr. Kyorito talking about rumours of a town deep underground in Wyvern Den.
Scorchia Springs

## Quick Navigation

Just further above the jungle will be a vast range of hot springs, which will either contain water collected from the rainfall or lava so pick wisely! Relaxing in them will instantly melt your troubles away. This has been a common tourist spot as of late!

## Trivia

* Scorchia Springs used to be known as "Lava Range" before it was changed to its current name in 2021.
* In the original prototype designs for Ruff n' Tuff Shorelines (then an unnamed territory), Scorcia Springs did not exist and instead was presumably just a scorched part of Dinus Jungle. In around 2020, Scorchia Springs was added.
* As mentioned in Ruff n' Tuff Shorelines, Scorchia Springs is based off of the Scoria, an igneous rock.
Pastel Bay

City Lover Medal

Dedicated Tourist Medal

## Quick Navigation

A once rather prosperous town deemed a must-see for romantic getaways now turned into ruin as a result of the resident Craftimals under the influence of both the corrupted Crystal Griffin and The Solis Magician, Pastel Bay is being deemed currently inhabitable and as a result all of its former residents have been evacuated.

## Relevance to the Story

*See:* Chapter 3

In Summary: Mario and his partners go on and retrieve the two Crystal Griffin parts that have been split in half by the two Craftimals, Lucy and Ricky, who have also taken and split two lover Bob-Ombs, Berry and Goji, who they despised seeing together. After defeating both of them and retrieving the Crystal Griffin pieces, the two of them reunite and vow to help restore the damage that they had done to their hometown.

## Appearance

Pastel Bay is purely made of pastel colours, various warm in colour. Remnants of its former buildings are scattered all across the bay which appear to be Victorian or Elizabethan in style. As more chapters are completed after finishing Chapter 3, it is shown that both Lucy and Ricky are hard at work trying to repair the town, with former residents also being present and repairing the town as they had been informed of the danger that had been quelled.

In the post-game, Rose Village is established and covers a small percentage of Pastel Bay, but residents there hope to expand back into its former grand scale in the future. It is reminiscent of its former Elizabethan or Victorian style with small adjustments in material to ensure that it is more durable. It has also fused the pastel with a more retro style in order to attract those who want to experience a bit of nostalgia in the area.

## Trivia

* Pastel Bay initially had a name along the lines of Vermillion Bay. It was initially going to be split into two Chapters (taking up Chapter 3 and 4). The first Chapter would be defeating Lucy, and the second would be defeating Ricky and reuniting the two together.
* Pastel Bay has been the only Chapter where its premises - two will-they-won't-they lovers turning against each other in a soap opera-like fashion and destroying the town - had stuck throughout the course of the town's creation since 2015.
Wyvern Den

## Story Relevance and Info

### Chapter

Unlocked in Chapter 3, more areas are unlocked via completing subsequent Chapters

## Quick Navigation

The underground of Brush Brush Fields, is an incredibly vast collection and network of naturally formed and artificially-made caves that were once inhabited by a variety of dragon species and inhabitants of the land that lived alongside them in peace. Depending on the Chapters you have completed, you can be granted access to more caves until, by the end of the game, you have access to the entire network. Some caves are just one room, whilst others can connect through to one another. Each cave has something to offer, whether a simple time, badge, or a large treasure trove, so if you find something of your interest that you'd like to come back to, mark it on your map and come back when the time is right! The Quest Board, additionally, will reward you if you find certain things from the Den as well! Of course, there'll be a pretty large amount of enemies, and secret bosses so be prepared!

For its history, see: Palette Plains/History

## **Key Locations**

As areas of Wyvern Cave are unexplored, they are mostly named by Mario and his partners and are formed from what they see. Also TBA and will change depending on what I'd like to keep or remove

* **Underground Lake:** A large opening in the underground caverns is a place with water that runs all the way from Ice Blue Plains over at Brush Brush Fields East. As the water can't be cleared off or crossed with ease, it's best to get someone who can either freeze the unique water or cross over it to gain access to other areas. The relaxing water noises puts you a bit at ease.
* **Under-Prairie:** A name in the works. With a large amount of light depositing to the bottom, this particular area is incredibly lush with cave plants growing in the area. When the warm light shines down on the landscape it gives it a magical appearance. It connects to other parts of Wyvern Den that can bring you back to the surface, as well as a large crystal-clear pond. Beware the top though, it's quite easy to fall in!
* **Lava Falls:** A small section where lava streams from an above source and falls into the bottom, forming a dangerous but mesmerising waterfall. Be sure to have a lava-crossing partner ready to cross the flowing streams to access other areas!
* **Deep Down City:** See Deep Down Town
* **Glitzy Cave:** A particular part of the cave filled with various crystals and glowing spots. It is incredibly and is house to some of the rarest materials in the game which can sell for a ton (or you can optionally send it back to Mario's house to put up for display and flex). Can only be obtained extremely late in game and requires various Overworld and Hidden Abilities to get.

## Trivia

* I plan to have Wyvern Den be based off of various caves including:
	+ Son Doong Cave
	+ Spruce Tree House in Colorado
	+ Glowworm Caves
	+ The Cave and Basin in Alberta
	+ Sea Caves in Cyprus
	+ Marble Cave in Patagonia

Ghast Attack

Ghast Attack is the 5th Episode of the Minecraft Life Of Alex And Steve.

## Plot

The Episode starts with Alex building a nether portal. Steve, who was sleeping on top of a house for some reason asked Alex what she was doing. She told him she was building a portal that could transport you to another dimension. Steve then got excited and told Alex that he should be the one in first. She said it wasn't a good idea but ignores her and steps inside, and after seeing what he saw he came out and hurried inside his house.

Paper Craves

Buzzy Beetle

Swoop

Lil' Sparky

## Quick Navigation

In the Western area of Pastel Bay lies the Paper Craves, home of Lucy the Craftimal and her Flutter Dancers.

## Appearance

### Paper Craves

The Paper Craves is a narrow, linear cave line with very loose stage-like influences, with various props, stage lights, and rows of wooden floorboards scattered throughout. At the end of the cave is a large door which is usually open all other times, but in this time it is closed and tightly secured, requiring certain items in order to unlock it.

### Lucy's Room

Beyond the aforementioned room is Lucy's Room, a large area set up like a retro sitcom stage. When Mario and his partner's first arrive, however, the room is dimly lit. The first room entered is the kitchen, with furniture enlarged in order to facilitate the giant Craftimal herself. This is the only room that you can access throughout the game.

## Story Relevance

**In Summary:** Mario and his partners must travel to both the Paper Craves and Woodchip Caverns in order to retrieve the Crystal Griffin parts and reunite the two Party Bob-Omb lovers Berry and Goji. In this room, Goji is the one who is captured in a giant bird's cage.

## Trivia

* Paper Craves is obviously not a pun on "Paper Cranes", what Lucy's design is loosely based off of
* (Will move this to Flutter Dancers) The Flutter Dancers puns are also a double entendre: Dancer references to how they are ballet dancers and Flutter references how paper 'flutters' in the wind, which is the material they are made of.
* My interpretation of what Lucy's Room and the Paper Craves soundtrack could be inspired by Kasputin's "Eight Concert Etudes, Op 40": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=116QHk9jNGI
	+ Perhaps either the melody is much more aggressive or distorted Main Game to reflect her mental state, but in Post Game it is more softer.

Elwél

Le Elwél /εlˈwεl/, assemblage de l'article titulaire "el" et de "will" qui en anglais exprime le futur et la volonté, est la croyance selon laquelle les Anciens, avant de partir, auraient conçu un plan bienveillant qui mènerait les humains vers un nouvel âge d'or. Cette croyance est exclusivement se̊ley, mais on la retrouve parfois citée et réappropriée chez des penseurs médicrois ou vitsiõkils.

## Usage

Les se̊leyz scandent parfois ce terme comme un mantra, pour se donner du courage, comme crie de joie, ou comme cri de guerre.

Le terme est utilisé dans plusieurs locutions telles que "Elwél ñgaa" ("puisse ...") et sa forme abusive "Elwél ñgez", ou "Shel Elwél" ("ainsi soit-il", "on l'espère") et sa forme contractée "shelwél", souvent utilisée pour dire merci.

Quand les choses vont pour le mieux, qu'elles vont dans la bonne direction, on dit "yel Elwél" ("le Elwél suit sont cours"). A l'inverse, une action ou une suite d'événement jugées mauvaises conduisent au chaos, à la mise en danger du futur merveilleux prévu par les Anciens. On dit alors "ab ezad" ("c'est l'hubris" ou "c'est le chaos"). L'ezad est l'opposé du Elwél, c'est un mot d'origine arabe qui signifie "le chaos".

Le terme Elwél n'est pas à confondre avec le terme elwel /ˈεlwεl/ qui désigne le futur, dans un sens purement temporel, alors que Elwél désigne l'avenir, dans un sens prophétique, prospectif.

## Dérives

Dans les mouvements intégristes arhleniens, à la suite de l'Hiver Noir, le concept de Elwél prend le sens de destinée manifeste, c'est-à-dire la croyance selon laquelle un peuple est promis à un grand destin, comme la domination de tous les autres, ou la supériorité absolue dans certaines domaines. Les limites du Elwél sont alors clairement rédigées et fixées sous forme de commandement que l'on doit suivre pour être une bon se̊ley (respect des plus vieux, monogamie, parentalité exclusivement biologique, etc.). En parallèle, la notion de ezad a fini par prendre pour eux le sens de péché. Dans certains groupes, le fanatisme pousse les suivants du Elwél à punir, parfois de mort, tous ceux qui ne respectent pas ces commandements.

Dans les colonies du Nedzegal, on observe parfois un syncrétisme avec la religion dutsh, selon laquelle les Anciens un jour reviendront des étoiles pour emmener avec eux ceux qui auront bien agi et exterminer les autres. En effet, au cours de certaines controverses, dans les temples dutsh des colonies, on a pu parfois entendre que le plan des Anciens, auquel renvoie le Elwél, pourrait être celui dépeint par la religion dutsh. D'autres, plus influencés par les valeurs d'accomplissement personnel de la religion dutsh, ont fini par utiliser le terme Elwél pour simplement désigner quelque chose qui marche, qui fonctionne, qui va dans le sens de l'action qu'on entreprend.
Brush Brush Fields East

## Quick Navigation

To the East of Pastel Bay is a slight expansion of Brush Brush Fields. As it nears Glacicle Range, the air gets chillier and the temperature slowly lessens in heat. Be sure to bring a warm set of clothing with you to endure the incoming cold!

To see more about Brush Brush Fields, see: Brush Brush Fields

## Key Locations

* **Ice Blue Hill:** Located near Crystalline Caverns, Ice Blue Hill is truly a phenomenon; even in extremely hot climates the water still finds a way to turn itself into ice as if the dragon that once lay in its area still lingers in spirit. The area is also well known for its glittery, light blue grass that strangely does not feel cold at all when it brushes against your clothing.
* **Keel Mango Cliffs:** Located to the West of Brush Brush Fields East is a large view of a vast cliff canyon. Scattered throughout the cliffs (as well as the accessible areas) are various Keel Mango trees. Whacking the available ones will give you Keel Haul Mangos. The cliffs and large canyon are viewable only, meaning they cannot be crossed or accessed. Near the area is a small picnic table where Mario and his partners can chill on.

## Items

TBA

Le Synchronisme

Le Synchronisme est la pensée selon laquelle la colonisation de Thara se serait faite à plusieurs endroits de la planète en même temps, avec plusieurs foyers de colonisation primordiaux. Le Synchronisme s'oppose par essence au frontalisme.

## Histoire

La théorie du synchronisme nait avec *Sil, Peuple de la Mer* parut en 1035 et écrit par le Tharaologue. Dans la conclusion du livre, il attire l'attention du lecteur sur le fait que les se̊leyz disent venir d'un continent, nommé par eux Dile'ñ, qui d'après leurs cartes serait à plus de 20 000 km de la Mãsh. Aussi, les se̊leyz sont clairement d'origine anglophone d'après lui, et d'après leurs propres dires. Or si le frontalisme a raison, alors ils devraient venir du même endroit que les vitsiõkils et les shœnraffa qui sont aussi d'origine anglophone, c'est-à-dire à l'est de la Mãsh. Mais la Mãsh et Dile'ñ sont trop éloignés l'un de l'autre. Donc les se̊leyz ne viennent pas de la Mãsh mais potentiellement d'un autre foyer primordial de colonisation. Ce faisant, s'il y a deux foyers, pourquoi n'en auraient-ils pas plus ? C'est sur cette démonstration que se base le synchronisme que les explorateurs vont avoir tendance à valider par la suite.
Don't Dig Down

Never Dig Down!

Don't Dig Down is the 4th Episode of The Minecraft Life Of Alex And Steve.

## Plot

The Episode starts with Alex crafting something on her crafting table when Steve appears with a pickaxe and asks Alex what the pickaxe is used for mining stone and ores. But before she could finish speaking, Steve had already started digging straight down. Alex yells at him to come back up, but before she could finish speaking, Steve had already fallen into a dungeon.

When Steve pulls out a torch, He finds out that he has fallen into a monster pit. He recognizes the Skeletons and, Since he didn't want to get shot again, He kept digging, and digging, until he eventually falls into a lava pit.

He eventually respawns, and Alex has that smug look on her face, after which she says "I told you so". But Steve didn't wanna hear it.

## Trivia

* This is one of the most popular episodes to date, with a whooping 16M views as of 2020.
	+ This is probably because it focuses on something most Minecraft players encounter.
* The stone Steve's mining into is actually 1 block thick as confirmed by Blue Monkey.
	+ This is only to serve the camera, and not the animation.

## Errors

* Even though the 1 block thick cave is not meant to be part of the animation, some spiders can be seen climbing there.

how are the spiders climbing there when the stone is 1 block thick?
Hycatite Hut Hotel

## Description

Steve is a Minecraft Character with a Light Blue Shirt, Dark Blue Pants, Light Grey Shoes. He has brown hair and has Purple eyes.

Steve is friends with Alex, although he gives her a hard time by cheating, lying(sometimes) and bragging how he's always the best. His ideas are always terrible and end him up in terrible situations. In later episodes, It's possible that he has gotten smarter, like when he used spooky to help Alex out of the Lava.

He always calls Ben "New Guy" even though he's technically not a new guy anymore.

## Trivia

* Steve has appeared in all episodes, except for the short "Cat" where Alex is the only character there.
* In one of Blue Monkey's Youtube Community Posts, Steve has blue eyes for some reason.
	+ The screenshot is from the video "Giant Steve".
* There is a running gag in the series where Steve gets horrendously injured. but in later episodes, he doesn't get hurt that much.
* Steve has an Imaginary friend called Spooky. Whenever spooky falls, Steve claims that Spooky has said something.
* Steve is the only character to die in the series(burned by lava)
	+ However, he can still respawn

## Redesign change

Steve has gone under a lot of changes throughout the series.

In episode 1, His rig(face) is the same rig blue monkey used for his older animations (minus the realistic teeth and the eyebrows)

In the episode "Tooth fairy", He has a new rig along with the rest of the characters, with more expressions. His face is also a bit wider.

As of the episode "Lava race cheater", he and the rest of the characters have a new rig. With the introduction of this rig came Steve's wide and creepy smile he usually does when he's laughing or eating.

Age des Se̊leyz

l'Age des Se̊leyz désigne une période que l'on fait généralement commencer luneg du 7e moi 879 (calendrier Se̊ley), date légendaire à laquelle Haydñ Borudson a commencé son voyage vers le Sud. On la fait parfois finir en 1003, année de fin du Grand Raid. Mais dans la mesure où les Se̊leyz sont encore parmi les cultures les plus influentes du monde, cette borne temporelle fait débat. Beaucoup considère encore au milieu du S10 être dans l'âge des Se̊leyz.

On parle d'âge des Se̊leyz dans la mesure où cette période voit une croissance phénoménale des peuples de culture se̊ley. La fondation des colonies du Nedzegal, l'alliance avec l'Empire Vitsiõkil, la conquête d'un tiers de l'ancien empire médicrois, etc.
Ancient Altar

## Quick Navigation

An area with unknown purposes, the Ancient Altar has been the topic of many historical debates. Could it be a sacrificial place for some fictional deity? Could it have been just a gathering place? Regardless of its purpose, it is no doubt the place has been created with man's hands, and there is certainly an eerie, off-putting vibe to the area... As if there are things watching you from all angles...

*For its history, see:* Rockstar Island/History

## Plot Relevancy

*See:* Chapter 1

In Summary: Mario and Dr. Kyorito come across the first Crystal Griffin part, which is situated on the Altar table's surface. They are ambushed by the Crexagon and face their first boss battle to which they conquer. After obtaining the first Crystal Griffin part, the Crexagon and all other ancient dinosaurs return to their fossilised state.

## Points of Interest

* **Ancient Altar:** The Ancient Altar itself has been a point of interest for archaeologists for many years since its first discovery. None of the inscriptions inside the Altar Caverns documents anything about its purpose, or the ones that seemingly do have been seemingly destroyed intentionally. None have found the missing pieces.
* **Altar Caverns:** Various holes in the mountain range around the Ancient Altar indicate that the Primitive Civilisation that once inhabited the land lived within these holes. Very early tools and furniture are found within the rooms themselves, with other larger rooms seemingly having the purpose of cooking food or drawing. In what is described by archaeologists as the Chief's Room, you can encounter a secret boss.

## Trivia

Below are the following potential musical inspirations for the Ancient Altar:

Приспешник

* Неделя 4
* M.I.L.F.

**Приспешники** (англ. **Henchmen**) - это фоновые персонажи Недели 4. Большинство из них танцуют на заднем плане в отдельном лимузине, в то время как другой из них ведет лимузин, на котором стоят Дорогая Мамочка и Парень.

## Внешность

Все Приспешники выглядят одинаково со светло-розовой кожей, плоской стрижкой с двумя заостренными концами, напоминающими рога демона, и коварной широкой улыбкой, открывающей светло-голубой язык. Они также одеваются одинаково: открытые черные куртки с большими заостренными наплечниками, черные брюки, черные кроссовки с белыми шнурками и солнцезащитные очки.

Во время треков Satin Panties и High, стоящие на лимузине все исполняют синхронный танец.

Во время трека M.I.L.F. их обычный танец слегка изменяется, чтобы лучше соответствовать темпу трека.

## Интересные факты

* PhantomArcade подтвердил, что Приспешники умрут в течение недели.
	+ После того, как погибнет партия Приспешников, появятся новые. PhantomArcade описывает их как "одноразовые".
* Во время одного из стрима PhantomArcade он заявляет, что Приспешники выращиваются в бутылках.

Dinus Jungle

## Quick Navigation

A lush and vibrant jungle landscape thought to have been sent from paradise itself, it is home to the area's famous Dinus Grapes as well as its abundance of native creatures.

## Plot Relevancy

*See:* Chapter 2

**In Summary:** Throughout the duration of Chapter 2, wild creatures have been running rampant and attacking the town alongside strange activity from the volcano itself. After defeating the boss for Chapter 2, most of the enemies in Dinus Jungle will return to normal, or slowly return to normal, with some others still needing to take a while before it settles in.

## Trivia

* Dinus Jungle is the only location in Ruff n' Tuff Shorelines to not be named after an Igneous or Volcanic Rock. It is instead named after "Dionysus" in reference to his role in Pompeii of being the wine bearer to a lush and grape-abundant forest in Mt. Vesuvius before its eruption in 79AD (as you can see I totally did not take Ancient History back in high school).
* Dinus Jungle was originally named Magma Jungle starting from 2019/2020 until it was changed to its current namesake in 2020.
