Development History[]

In very early versions, this world was formerly known as SHMUPS Domain. It was originally intended to be an optional world focused heavily on SHMUP (shoot 'em up) games (such as R-Type and Gradius), but was changed into a fantasy setting world due to the following reasons:

  • Programming difficulties of the now ill-fated SHMUPS system, which was scrapped.
  • The impracticality of sticking a genre-shifting game mechanic in MKF, which, at this time of writing, already has so many other game mechanics crammed into it.
  • The similarity in theme between SHMUPS Domain and World 9 (Edge of Beyond). Both had an outer space/sci-fi theme; there was no point, and it was even unfair to the other unrepresented and underrepresented games for there to be two worlds with a similar theme.

JudgeSpear (now EddyMRA) admitted that SHMUPS Domain was a vanity addition, since he is a big fan of the SHMUPS genre. With the culling of the SHMUPS system, the SHMUPS Domain world became useless and expendable. The existing SHMUPS-themed level, Bydo Station, was moved to World 9, along with SHMUPS Domain's plot. Bacterion was planned as the World Boss of World 6 during its original SHMUPS format but was moved to Interstellar Assault as the boss of that level.

Trivia[]

  • Before the v0.81 update, the map of this world was based on the world map from Seiken Densetsu DS, also known as Children of Mana.
  • The shopkeeper of this world is Recette Lemongrass from the indie game Recettear: An Item Shop's Tale.
  • The "LEVEL COMPLETE" and "WORLD COMPLETE" script that appears after defeating a boss uses a font based on the Final Fantasy series.
  • The map theme in this world is the Ancient Temple theme from 1991 Sega Genesis RPG game Shining in the Darkness.
  • The Hammer Bros-like battle fighting enemies predominantly from the Final Fantasy or Zelda series features the Battle Theme from 1994 game Final Fantasy VI.
  • According to the old MKF forum, a rejected idea regarding World 6 was for the Coalition to collect scattered parts of the mastermind Clockwerk of the Sly Cooper series, only to tricked by the Villain Alliance and have him assembled to serve as the World Boss.
  • Easter Island was originally located in this World before being relocated to World 2.
  • According to the old defunct MKF wiki, early ideas for levels that never materialized when it was initially known as SHMUPS Domain include the following:
    • A Parodius-based platforming level.
    • A Salamander-based platforming/SHUMP hybrid level.
    • A boss rush SHUMP level.
    • Corneria Assault (A SHUMP level based on Star Fox).
    • Four Touhou/Cave Quest-based levels. These levels would be combined into Mimiga Caverns.
    • A Gaiares-based level.
    • Fusion Armada.
    • Bacterion's Lair.
    • Space Zone 2 (Based on Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins, with Tatanga serving as the boss).
