Keen 5 Bugs

2012-09-16T20:48:25Z

Eros: weird bug o_O

This page lists all the bugs, odd behaviours and unexpected actions that have been discovered in [[Keen 5]].

== Die but win ==

This is probably the most commonly seen trick. If, at the end of Keen 5 in the [[Quantum Explosion Dynamo]] Keen is too close to the [[Shikadi Mine]] he is using to destroy it, he will be killed along with the Q.E.D. However, the game will then end with Keen unharmed and victorious. Likewise, it is possible to break a fuse but still be killed by an enemy, and win the level.

== Shelley/Door Trick ==

This trick allows you to warp to the secret level from level 10, the [[Brownian Motion Inducer]]. It only works in [[Keen 5 Versions|version 1.4]], as this is the only version in which the shellies can push Keen.

* Start a game in Hard mode.
* Go to the [[Brownian Motion Inducer]] (The North globe level.)
* Make it to the area with the long hallway, where there are three small rooms above you with doors in them.
* In one of the small rooms, have a shelley push you towards the door. (Make sure you kill the [[Sparky]] first!).
* As you go past the door, press up, as if you were going to enter it. If done with correct timing, you should go through the door, and warp to [[Korath III Base]]. Alternatively, you can have the shellies on the right ledges push you while they jump down; this works on any difficulty.

This trick can be used in speed runs to get through the game incredibly fast. It allows you to skip 6 levels (3 Defense Tunnels and 3 Machine levels), since the secret level will then warp you up to the area where the last two levels are. This glitch can also be preformed with a [[Little Ampton]] in the first level by having it push you on a pole (seen [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NZX8x0lMp94&t=6s here]), but it is much more difficult.

== Exit Omegamatic ==

[[Image:Keen5_Outside.png|frame|Outside the Omegamatic.]]

This is probably the least known bug in the game. It allows you to walk around in space outside the [[Omegamatic]] in the map level.
This only works in older versions of the game (probably [[Keen 5 Versions|1.0]].)

* Start out by getting to the last level, the [[Quantum Explosion Dynamo]].
* On the map level, stand over to the very right side, against the wall of the tunnel. Stand right outside the globe. Enter the level.
* Die. This is probably quickest by running into the [[Spindred]]s up above where you start.
* Choose to return to the Omegamatic.
* If done correctly, you should be halfway inside the wall of the tunnel. Just move to the right to get out. Be warned: You cannot get back into the Omegamatic once you do this (unless you use cheats).

This cannot do anything for you, not even getting to the secret level. It is just a fun trick that allows you to see all of the map, including the yellow around the outside.

This trick can also be done in the RCC, and possibly the other domes, due to their odd hitboxes.

== Secret Elevator ==

There is a secret bug elevator hidden outside of the map.

* First, use the above bug (Exit Omegamatic) to get outside.
* Now, go up to the yellow at the top of the map.
* Go over to about where the left corner of the map is, and walk up near the top edge.
* Somewhere around here, if you try and walk north, you will "walk into" an elevator, and disappear. This will freeze the game, so you should probably use DOSbox to do it.

This bug is caused by the fact that the game code requires the elevator tiles to be placed in the top of the map, above the view of the player. Although you cannot see the actual tiles, you can still walk into them, causing the player to enter a non-existent elevator.

== Fuse Structure Typo ==

[[Image:Fuse_sign.png|thumb|160px|The sign in question.]]

The "Warning: Fuse Structure Fragile" actually reads "Warning: Fuse Strcture Fragile"

* Enter the [[Regulation Control Center]] or [[Energy Flow Systems]].
* Read the sign by the fuse.

The sign is also in [[Brownian Motion Inducer]], but the part of the sign where the typo occurs is obscured by the machine.
<br style="clear: both;" />

== Typo in High Scores entrance ==

[[Image:Keen5_Lev15Typo.png|thumb|320px|High Scores level entry text typo.]]

The [[High Scores (Keen 5 Level)|High Scores level]] is inaccessible from the world-map; however, there are [[High Scores (Keen 5 Level)|three alternative ways]] to reach it.

When using two of the methods (level warp cheat and [[TED5|TEDLEVEL]] command line), you will see the entrance text for each level. In the particular case of the High Scores level, there is a typo (an absent space between "the" and "High") in the text, which might not be considered a true bug as this text was never supposed to be shown to the player.
<br style="clear: both;" />

== Lure Robo Red off a ledge ==

[[Image:Robored_bug.png|thumb|320px|Robo Red is a bit lost.]]

[[Robo Red]] can be lured off the edge of a ledge by getting its attention at just the right moment. The best way to do it is to shoot it right when it is on the edge. Robo Red always moves a certain distance after it shoots (so be careful) in the direction its attention is focused to, and it seems on those occasions the game does not check whether the next tile on the robot's path is solid or not, and thus the robot may end up in air. It can be moved further by shooting it more. In the air it appears to be twisting because on its both sides the tiles are non-solid, which usually tells it it is time to turn around, which it does now too, but cannot find solid land on the opposite direction either, turning around again, and so on.

* There is a YouTube video showing [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ojtqq4IX0RI Robo Red being lured off a ledge]
<br style="clear: both;" />

== Do not fall off a rotating block ==

[[Image:Keen5_RotatingBlockBug.png|frame|Do not look down!]]

Certain actions of Keen's are immune to gravity. If Keen is looking up or down or ledgegripping, he cannot fall. Looking up on a rotating block will allow Keen to stay on it when it flips. If he then stops looking up when the block is flat, he can stand normally on the block when it spins until his "bored" animations start.
<br style="clear: both;" />

== Trapped Secret Area ==

At the end of [[Defense Tunnel Sorra]] is a small secret area next to a ceiling-mounted laser cannon; jumping correctly will allow Keen to climb inside the wall to collect some points, but it is impossible to get out again without cheating.

== [[Shelley]]-ular errors ==

[[Image:Keen5_ShelleyBug.png|frame|Keen appears in front of the green foreground tiles.]]

There are two different clipping errors having to do with [[Shelley]]s. One, you can force a Shelley to freeze itself onto a slanted platform. Go to the top of [[Neutrino Burst Injector]] in Hard mode, then get a Shelley on screen. Stand on a slanted part of the floor and wait. The Shelley will collide with you, then freeze with its leg in the platform. This makes it easy to jump over the Shelley.

Two, you can force a Shelley off an edge and in some conditions, like the top of the machine in [[Brownian Motion Inducer]], onto a different ledge. Make the Shelley stand on an edge, stand behind the it and wait for it to reverse direction. The Shelley will be a bit off its platform. Push it gently to make it go farther. If you do it for a long time, the Shelley may make it onto another ledge and start walking normally there.

See a video [http://home.mchsi.com/~bootsisbig/keen5e_000.avi here].
<br style="clear:both;"/>

== Keen appears in front of foreground ==

[[Image:Keen5_PoleBug.png|frame|Keen appears in front of the green foreground tiles.]]

If Keen grabs onto the pole section behind green foreground tiles located in the upper leftmost corner of [[Regulation Control Center]] while jumping or pogoing, he occasionally appears in front of them.
<br style="clear:both;"/>

== Unobtainable candy ==

[[Image:Candybug.png‎|frame|Unobtainable candy, highlighted with patches.]]

In Defense Tunnel Teln, there is a secret passage containing four pieces of candy. Only three of these are obtainable, the fourth is in a solid tile. This is impossible to see without patches.
<br style="clear:both;"/>

== Spindred Trap ==

[[Image:SpindredTrap.png‎‎|frame|Trapped Spindred.]]

In the [[Quantum Explosion Dynamo]] (and maybe some other stages), it's possible to trap the two hazardous [[Spindred]]s by flicking the switch at the right time; flicking enough times will result in them being trapped in the left side of the pit, where they become more of a nuisence then a hazard. This bug involves the spindred's collision properties, but because a wall suddenly appears, it will slide off to one side, in the same manner as Keen when no-clip is suddenly turned off when he is in a wall.
<br style="clear:both;"/>

== Tile bug in Korath base ==

[[Image:Korathbug.png‎‎|frame|The single tile bug in the Korath base.]]

In the secret [[Korath III Base]], there is a single tile error in how the level is put together, which was missed by the level designers.
<br style="clear:both;"/>

== Invisible Pole ==

In the second level you can jump up into the air and grab onto an invisible pole. Pressing any of the arrow keys will make you fall off. You can grab onto it by jumping into the air about halfway up the first slanted corridor.

[[Image:Keen5_Glitch.png|frame|The invisible pole bug.]]
<br style="clear:both;"/>

== Keen Ampton Push Glitch ==

a particularly curious glitch caused by jumping into the red keyhole while a [[Little Ampton]] was to the right of it. jumping on both causes the "place gem" animation to play, but no gem will be placed, and Keen will start sliding to the left, then right, pushed by the Ampton the whole time. occasionally, you can start hovering midair, sliding until Keen hits the door, after which the games resumes as normal.

when testing, god mode was on, but it is theoretically not needed.

Eros: WTF is with PCKF?

Eros, I already started a page for The Warpcore, and you started another one. Let's combine the info for both pages and merge them into one. [[User:Syllypryde|Syllypryde]] 21:40, 8 March 2011 (GMT)
:sure, i must've made one around the same time you did as well, and forgot to check.--[[User:Eros|Eros]] 21:57, 8 March 2011 (GMT)

Hi Eros, sorry I had to delete the page for Hayro but unfortunately (as I'm sure you're aware) many mod projects end up going nowhere, so to avoid having the KeenWiki littered with incomplete mods the admins have agreed that a mod must have actually been released before a page can be created on the wiki. Please feel free to recreate the page for Hayro, but only after the first public release! -- [[User:Malvineous|Malvineous]] 23:00, 8 March 2011 (GMT)

:The page will just kind of sit there in the red, but the actual text will be preserved in some sort, right? If not, can you get me a copy of the page to place in notepad? thx. Can i have it back once i have some sort of youtube demo? --[[User:Eros|Eros]] 23:02, 8 March 2011 (GMT)

:: The page can be undeleted by an admin for a while, but I've put the [http://pastebin.com/95NZXUAC content on pastebin] so you can just recreate the page when the mod is ready. "Ready" means there's a public download that people can play, but it should be at least "almost" complete in the case of a beta release (e.g. if it only has one level and most of the original graphics it's not substantial enough to warrant its own page.) -- [[User:Malvineous|Malvineous]] 07:22, 13 March 2011 (GMT)

:::ah, thanks.--[[User:Eros|Eros]] 13:59, 13 March 2011 (GMT)

== PCKF ban? ==
...was that intentional? i got IP banned or something...--[[User:Eros|Eros]] 22:02, 17 August 2011 (GMT)

:Yes. You've been temporarily banned for Avatar size violation.[[User:Ceilick|Ceilick]] 21:12, 18 August 2011 (GMT)

Krodacian

Eros: genetically pliable soldiers linked to K-Drones.

{{Creature Infobox
| Appears = [[The Keys of Krodacia]]
| Harmful = Yes
| Shots = 1 stun / immortal
}}

The '''Krodacians''' are a race of pink, squid-like beings from the planet [[Krodacia]]. They are responsible for building [[Mortimer McMire]]'s Universal Toaster Canon in [[The Keys of Krodacia]] and are later deployed as Mortimer's [[Krodacian Drone|genetically pliable soldiers]] in his bid for the universe's destruction in [[Battle of the Brains]].

The official help text states:
{{Box|These squid-like creatures are building Mortimer's Universal Toaster Canon. Watch out for them, they are fast and don't stay stunned for long!}}

In The Keys of Krodacia the Krodacians can be found in their homes and guarding the keys to Mortimer's base. They move at dangerous speeds on their tentacle-like feet and can be stunned for only a few seconds.

Although the Krodacians are out to stop Keen, they are not actually evil themselves (although not particularly friendly with outsiders either). Hidden away in a corner of the Milky Way, they were wary of strangers and initially resisted Mortimer McMire when he came to their planet. For unknown reasons, this resistance was short lived and, seeing them as a useful species for his purposes, Mortimer subdued and enslaved them by means of special wrist bands, similar to shock collars.

As McMire's influence over the Krodacians grew he began to alter them genetically. He bio-engineered two new breeds of Krodacians, the mass produced [[Krodacian Drone]]s and the supremely powerful [[Krodacian Overlord]]s. Unlike their enslaved counterparts, these altered Krodacians would be dutifully loyal to Mortimer.

Arachnut

2011-04-28T22:02:17Z

Eros: fixed link, leg number reduced. (it's 6, not 8)

{{Creature Infobox
| Appears = [[Keen 4]]
| Shots = Invincible, can be stunned with one shot.
| Harmful = Yes
}}

Arachnuts are insane, crab-walking green natives of the [[shadowlands]] on [[Gnosticus IV]].

The in-game help text states: ''Insane, green, crab-walking creatures with two dangerous mouths.''

<br style="clear: both;"/>
== Physiology and Behaviour ==

The Arachnut is a green creature that crab-walks on its many brown legs. It has 6 legs, somewhat resembling a spider. On it's abdomen, which comprises most of its body, are its six eyes. They swivel around erratically, and have red irises with no visible pupils. On the top of its abdomen spring its two "heads", which are solely areas for the mouths, one on each head. The heads have short necks.

The arachnut can be stunned, for a few seconds, with one hit from the [[Neural Stunner]]. Despite this fact, it is soon revived, and cannot be stunned permenately.

== Dangers ==

These creatures kill keen with one contact, presumably by biting him. As they cannot be permanately stunned, they pose a very dangerous threat.
== Habitat ==

Coming soon.

== Trivia ==

Coming soon.

Where can I download Keen 6 files and maps? {{User:Illidan5}} 16:36, 2 April 2011 (GMT)

There is an update in progress that will include [[Keen 6]] maps. When I started the NetKeen page I was unaware that the '''Keen 6''' maps were not included in the original download. So basically, I completely spoiled everything by posting the info on the Keen 6 maps. [[User:Syllypryde|Syllypryde]] 19:37, 2 April 2011 (GMT)

Having a list of maps doesn't really help anything, it's just like having a list of mods that are actually stories and ideas.

Krodacian Overlord

2011-03-30T00:57:09Z

Eros: clarified words

{{Creature Infobox
| Appears = [[Battle of the Brains]]
| Harmful = Yes
| Shots = immortal
}}

'''Krodacian Overlord'''s are an advanced subspecies of Krodacians, they are capable of rapid transport and shooting spheres of energy at intruders seeking to stop Mortimer (i.e. you). They are extremely strong both mentally and physically, being unable to be stunned at all.

Behaviorally speaking, they are a cross between [[Shikadi Master]]s' teleportation and [[Robo Red]]s' attack.

Cybloog

2011-03-27T23:00:03Z

Eros: added info

{{Creature Infobox
| Harmful = Yes
| Appears = [[Battle of the Brains]]
| Shots = Immortal
}}

Cybloogs are creatures in [[Battle of the Brains]]. They are cybernetically enhanced Bloogs and they serve as shock troopers in Mortimer's Army. These Bloogs are protected by a special type of armor that makes them immune to the effects of the [[Neural Stunner]]. They carry special blasters that are powered by a [[Meep]] on their back. These blasters fire powerful sound waves that will travel through walls, making them dangerous opponents.

An interesting glitch causes them to face one way, but shoot the other. This sometimes occurs when you jump over its head and shoot, or when it senses you in one part, but you suddenly move some other way. This might also apply to the [[Robo Red]], but that's unlikely.

It's no surprise that this enemy's concept was derived from [[Keen GBC]]'s [[Robo Bloog]] (the entire bottom half of the Cybloog is basically a recolored Robo Bloog bottom). Their weaponry is also suspicously similar, bursts of energy...

Shikadi Probe

2011-03-27T22:56:37Z

Eros: added info

{{Creature Infobox
| Appears = [[Battle of the Brains]]
| Harmful = Yes
| Shots = 1}}

'''Shikadi Probes''' are little floating robots, they attempt to track Keen in the [[Shikadi]]'s endless quest to stop Commander Keen from interfiring with [[Mortimer McMire]]'s plans. These robots bounce along walls and floors, and can be found in practically every zone of [[Battle of the Brains]]. They seem to be momentum propelled, and 3 spawn every time a [[Probe Carrier]] is destroyed.

[[User:Ceilick|Ceilick]] himself has stated that this enemy was inspired by the [[Shikadi Sentry]] of [[Keen GBC]]. However, the probes are much more sophisticated, and are much more diverse in their functions.

Mortimer McMire

2011-03-27T13:03:56Z

Eros: corrected numbers

'''Mortimer McMire''', also known as '''The Grand Intellect''' (and to his annoyance, also as the '''Gannalech'''), is [[Commander Keen]]'s ultimate nemesis, an evil human prodigy with the IQ of 315 who will not rest until he has destroyed the whole Universe.

Not much is known about his origins or [[The McMire Family|family]], except for his sister [[Molly McMire|Molly]]. Mortimer seems to be about the same age as Keen (and was probably his classmate), so he should be around 8 years old.

[[Image:Mort_helmet.png|frame|Mortimer's helmet, as seen in Keen 5 — but not spotted by Keen himself!]]

==Personality==
Mortimer believes himself to be of the highest intelligence ever and has decided that nothing else deserves to live. His ultimate goal is to destroy everything, because everything is so stupid. It is not known how he is going to survive if he destroys the whole Universe, or whether he is even wanting to survive or just end it all and himself along with it.

==Rule over the Vorticons==
[[Image:GIPicture.png|thumb|left|Grand Intellect picture]]
The exact time and means of McMire's seizure of power over [[Vorticon VI]] is unknown. In fact, it cannot even be said why McMire chose the [[Vorticon]]s to be his slaves, although it is probably related to their sturdy physiology. In any case, what is known is that, by the time Commander Keen was stranded on [[Mars]], Mortimer had the entire species under his absolute control through a mysterious and evil [[Brain-wave Belt|"mind-belt"]] technology. He adopted the title "The Grand Intellect", which seems to be the alias he uses when dealing with alien species (similar to Billy Blaze's "Commander Keen" alias).

It is clear that McMire's dictatorship led to a great disruption of Vorticon life. In particular, Vorticon VI became one of the most militaristic worlds in the galaxy, as part of McMire's plan to obliterate [[Earth]] and, more fundamentally, as a mere pawn in his greater schemes. All male Vorticons were trained from a [[Youth|young age]] to fight to some extent. Most became [[Vorticon Grunt (red)|grunts]], and either labored for the Intellect all over the home planet or, worse, were sent to serve on the [[Vorticon Mothership]]. Such insidious orders as the [[Vorticon Elite]] and the [[VortiNinja]]s were created, forming the galaxy's deadliest fighting force. Even the [[Vorticon Woman|Vorticon Women's]] ability to spit fire was used for destructive purposes.

[[Image:Android Dummy.png|thumb|right|Mortimer inside the [[Mangling Machine]]]]
The absolute rule of the Intellect began to unravel with Commander Keen's discovery of the Vorticon Mothership. After escaping Mars, Keen boarded the heavily guarded mothership and eliminated the deadly [[Tantalus Ray]]s. The incapacitation of the Mothership, though a major setback, did not end McMire's rule and, in fact, probably only made it fiercer. As Commander Keen arrived on Vorticon VI, the Vorticons were essentially ordered to carry out a vendetta against Keen.

It was not enough, however, and Keen was able to make it to the [[Castle of the Grand Intellect|Grand Intellect's castle]]. It was here that Keen discovered the Grand Intelllect's true identity. He fought McMire in his hideous [[Mangling Machine]], and brought an end to his tyrannical rule. Though the end of the Vorticon's oppression, it was by no means the end of Mortimer McMire.

==Mortimer's plotting==
At first Keen had no idea that Mortimer was plotting something — not until he discovered the Vorticons actually were not hostile but were brain-controlled by Mortimer McMire (see [[Keen 3 Story]]). By destroying the [[Mangling Machine]], Keen believed he had gotten rid of Mortimer. One day, as he was listening to his [[Photachyon Transceiver]], he picked up a distorted signal. He managed to hear something about the [[Shikadi]] planning to destroy the Galaxy, and quickly set off to [[Gnosticus IV]] to learn more about them (see [[Keen 4 Story]]). The name ''Gannalech'' was also mentioned in the message, but Keen did not pay much attention to it at the time.

[[Image:Lettersga.png|thumb|left|[[The Mortimer Letter]]]]
After stopping the Shikadi's plan he finds a message on the [[Omegamatic]], [[The Mortimer Letter]] (see [[Keen 5 Story]]). In the letter, it is revealed that Keen did in fact not destroy Mortimer, the Mangling Machine was only operated by an [[Android Dummy]], and that Mortimer was behind the whole Shikadi plot. "Gannalech" was what the Shikadi called him, being the way they pronounced "Grand Intellect". The Shikadi plot was simply a diversion to stop Keen from discovering Mortimer's one true goal: he intends to blow up the whole universe, not just the galaxy. However, for reasons unknown, Keen decided to decipher the message later — perhaps he was in a hurry to get home, as at the end of Keen 4, he says he hopes "it does not rain on my folks."

Because of this, it seems that he forgot all about the letter, and did not learn that Mortimer was still alive until much later, when he had to save his baby-sitter from the [[Bloog]]s after she was kidnapped (which was also a diversion — see [[Keen 6 Story]]). After the rescue, when he discovers that Mortimer is alive and well, he learns about Mortimer's plans to destroy the entire universe. (Given his surprise at discovering Mortimer is still alive, it seems he really had not read the letter.)

Keen was to confront Mortimer in the final battle for the Universe, but it never happened, as the final game in the series, [[The Universe Is Toast]], was iced. However, many fans still hold out hope that it will be made one day. (Tom Hall, the lead designer for the original games, has made it clear that he would make this game without hesitation if creative control was again returned to him.)

== Appearances ==

* [[Keen 2]] – referred to (as "Grand Intellect")
* [[Keen 3]] – as the end boss (first time refered by his real name)
* [[Keen Dreams]] – referred to in the story
* [[Keen 4]] – referred to (as "Gannalech")
* [[Keen 5]] – hinted to with a [[SGA]] letter and his helmet
* [[Keen 6]] – mentioned by sister
* [[Keen GBC]] – various appearances
* [[Battle of the Brains]] - final boss

{{Creature Infobox
| Appears = [[Battle of the Brains]]
| Harmful = Not directly, yes with shots, yes when BB is out
| Shots = 30, then 1 to stun / immortal (stunned ~1 second)
}}

In [[Battle of the Brains]], Morimer is the boss, he has recently pumped himself full of [[Vitalin]], possibly explaining why he takes more shots to be vulnerable than any other enemy in the game (the [[Imposter Commander Keen]] only took 16, and he was much easier to fight). His Brain Blaster is a high-powered version of [[Commander Keen]]'s own [[Neural Stunner]], to the point of being able to destroy his shots using one of his own. Mortimer only appears in [[The Warpcore]], and is indirectly needed to complete the game (spoiler, so won't be mentioned for now). Mortimer walks at a slightly slower speed than Keen does, but his shots whizz by at an equal-if-not-greater speed. Mortimer is a force to be reckoned with, even if his IQ value is just one higher than Keen himself's.

'''Shivonia City''' is the second level of '''Battle of the Brains''', a [[Keen 5]] mod by [[User:Ceilick|Ceilick]]. Here Keen travels to the [[Shikadus I|Shikadi homeworld]] in order to open one of the four security doors blocking the fifth teleporter. The level consists of green formations, blue and purple underground structures, light blue crystaline stalagmites, and blue and purple gas-like skies with frequent lightning strikes. The [[Shikadi Aggrolyte]]s and their [[Vlorg]] companions are the main enemies in [[Shikadus I]], but Keen will also encounter the [[Service Droid]] and the [[Probe Carrier]] on various difficulites. Keen's pet Yorp [[Spot]] can also be found in this level to give his master important information to help him in his quest to defeat the Grand Intellect.

{{Creature Infobox

| Shots = Immortal}}

You can commonly find '''Asteroids''' flying around [[Altaire Prime]], they hover and bounce around, but because each one moves at a slightly different speed, it is nigh-impossible to be completely sure you won't walk into one, and they're heavy, so impact is deadly. Some asteroids are found making dents in many of the tunnels in the levels (namely [[The Depleted Tunnels]]), it is unknown how they were put there.

{{Creature Infobox

These jackhammer-like robots work in the mines of the giant asteroid [[Altaire Prime]]. They don't do much other than bounce, but don't let them or their debris touch you. These mining 'bots extract minerals and whatnot from the surface of [[Altaire Prime]] using a simple jumping function, drilling into the stones, revealing whatever's inside. Humorously, these robots are terribly inefficient at their job, being completely incapable of putting any hole into the earth that [[Altaire Prime]] consists of.

These robots maintain the cleanliness and efficiency of [[Mortimer McMire|Mortimer's]] bases. Carrying no weapons, they aren't much of a threat, but they may push you around a bit. The weak service droids, reminiscent of the [[Episode X | other TUIT trilogy]], these machines are upgraded versions of their counterparts, no longer experiencing jumps, they are also capable of identifying where to clean next, as shown by their brief thinking periods.

These furry creatures appear innocent and almost cute. Do not be fooled! When you least expect it they'll charge beak first! The Bedheds are very powerful creatures, either being too smart, or not smart enough to be affected by the [[Neural Stunner]] [[Keen]] has on him. They probe around with their beaks, and once something is in sight, they viciously attack whatever's there.

'''Yetis''' are the main inhabitants of the planet [[Frosthool]]. While they're not allies with [[Mortimer McMire|Mortimer]] directly, Keen will be walking into a snowball fight that's lasted nearly a century with no end in sight. The Yetis will see Keen as just another enemy, so watch out! The Yetis are a race of hostile beasts, they are extremely dangerous, and love to hurl stunning snowballs at each other. Their snowballs are composed of a mysterious substance, capable of stopping [[Keen]]'s attacks. It's better to avoid than attack a pack of these creatures!

'''Prospector'''s are mysterious rock-monkey enemies encountered on Altaire Prime. They aren't aggressive, but they jump when they see you, and explode in a shower of gravel and pebbles. The interesting thing about this enemy though, is that even when killed, it will stay on the foreground as a tile-based hazard. This is then impossible to get rid of, so watch out for them in closed spaces!

Mortimer McMire

2011-03-09T00:01:54Z

Eros: added BOTB, got the mod information. remove if nessessary

'''Mortimer McMire''', also known as '''The Grand Intellect''' (and to his annoyance, also as the '''Gannalech'''), is [[Commander Keen]]'s ultimate nemesis, an evil human prodigy with the IQ of 315 who will not rest until he has destroyed the whole Universe.

Not much is known about his origins or [[The McMire Family|family]], except for his sister [[Molly McMire|Molly]]. Mortimer seems to be about the same age as Keen (and was probably his classmate), so he should be around 8 years old.

[[Image:Mort_helmet.png|frame|Mortimer's helmet, as seen in Keen 5 — but not spotted by Keen himself!]]

==Personality==
Mortimer believes himself to be of the highest intelligence ever and has decided that nothing else deserves to live. His ultimate goal is to destroy everything, because everything is so stupid. It is not known how he is going to survive if he destroys the whole Universe, or whether he is even wanting to survive or just end it all and himself along with it.

==Rule over the Vorticons==
[[Image:GIPicture.png|thumb|left|Grand Intellect picture]]
The exact time and means of McMire's seizure of power over [[Vorticon VI]] is unknown. In fact, it cannot even be said why McMire chose the [[Vorticon]]s to be his slaves, although it is probably related to their sturdy physiology. In any case, what is known is that, by the time Commander Keen was stranded on [[Mars]], Mortimer had the entire species under his absolute control through a mysterious and evil [[Brain-wave Belt|"mind-belt"]] technology. He adopted the title "The Grand Intellect", which seems to be the alias he uses when dealing with alien species (similar to Billy Blaze's "Commander Keen" alias).

It is clear that McMire's dictatorship led to a great disruption of Vorticon life. In particular, Vorticon VI became one of the most militaristic worlds in the galaxy, as part of McMire's plan to obliterate [[Earth]] and, more fundamentally, as a mere pawn in his greater schemes. All male Vorticons were trained from a [[Youth|young age]] to fight to some extent. Most became [[Vorticon Grunt (red)|grunts]], and either labored for the Intellect all over the home planet or, worse, were sent to serve on the [[Vorticon Mothership]]. Such insidious orders as the [[Vorticon Elite]] and the [[VortiNinja]]s were created, forming the galaxy's deadliest fighting force. Even the [[Vorticon Woman|Vorticon Women's]] ability to spit fire was used for destructive purposes.

[[Image:Android Dummy.png|thumb|right|Mortimer inside the [[Mangling Machine]]]]
The absolute rule of the Intellect began to unravel with Commander Keen's discovery of the Vorticon Mothership. After escaping Mars, Keen boarded the heavily guarded mothership and eliminated the deadly [[Tantalus Ray]]s. The incapacitation of the Mothership, though a major setback, did not end McMire's rule and, in fact, probably only made it fiercer. As Commander Keen arrived on Vorticon VI, the Vorticons were essentially ordered to carry out a vendetta against Keen.

It was not enough, however, and Keen was able to make it to the [[Castle of the Grand Intellect|Grand Intellect's castle]]. It was here that Keen discovered the Grand Intelllect's true identity. He fought McMire in his hideous [[Mangling Machine]], and brought an end to his tyrannical rule. Though the end of the Vorticon's oppression, it was by no means the end of Mortimer McMire.

==Mortimer's plotting==
At first Keen had no idea that Mortimer was plotting something — not until he discovered the Vorticons actually were not hostile but were brain-controlled by Mortimer McMire (see [[Keen 3 Story]]). By destroying the [[Mangling Machine]], Keen believed he had gotten rid of Mortimer. One day, as he was listening to his [[Photachyon Transceiver]], he picked up a distorted signal. He managed to hear something about the [[Shikadi]] planning to destroy the Galaxy, and quickly set off to [[Gnosticus IV]] to learn more about them (see [[Keen 4 Story]]). The name ''Gannalech'' was also mentioned in the message, but Keen did not pay much attention to it at the time.

[[Image:Lettersga.png|thumb|left|[[The Mortimer Letter]]]]
After stopping the Shikadi's plan he finds a message on the [[Omegamatic]], [[The Mortimer Letter]] (see [[Keen 5 Story]]). In the letter, it is revealed that Keen did in fact not destroy Mortimer, the Mangling Machine was only operated by an [[Android Dummy]], and that Mortimer was behind the whole Shikadi plot. "Gannalech" was what the Shikadi called him, being the way they pronounced "Grand Intellect". The Shikadi plot was simply a diversion to stop Keen from discovering Mortimer's one true goal: he intends to blow up the whole universe, not just the galaxy. However, for reasons unknown, Keen decided to decipher the message later — perhaps he was in a hurry to get home, as at the end of Keen 4, he says he hopes "it does not rain on my folks."

Because of this, it seems that he forgot all about the letter, and did not learn that Mortimer was still alive until much later, when he had to save his baby-sitter from the [[Bloog]]s after she was kidnapped (which was also a diversion — see [[Keen 6 Story]]). After the rescue, when he discovers that Mortimer is alive and well, he learns about Mortimer's plans to destroy the entire universe. (Given his surprise at discovering Mortimer is still alive, it seems he really had not read the letter.)

Keen was to confront Mortimer in the final battle for the Universe, but it never happened, as the final game in the series, [[The Universe Is Toast]], was iced. However, many fans still hold out hope that it will be made one day. (Tom Hall, the lead designer for the original games, has made it clear that he would make this game without hesitation if creative control was again returned to him.)

In [[Battle of the Brains]], Morimer is the boss, he has recently pumped himself full of [[Vitalin]], possibly explaining why he takes more shots to be vulnerable than any other enemy in the game (the [[Imposter Commander Keen]] only took 16, and he was much easier to fight). His Brain Blaster is a high-powered version of [[Commander Keen]]'s own [[Neural Stunner]], to the point of being able to destroy his shots using one of his own. Mortimer only appears in [[The Warpcore]], and is indirectly needed to complete the game (spoiler, so won't be mentioned for now). Mortimer walks at a slightly slower speed than Keen does, but his shots whizz by at an equal-if-not-greater speed. Mortimer is a force to be reckoned with, even if his IQ value is just one higher than Keen himself's.

Shikadi Aggrolyte

{{Creature Infobox
| Appears = [[Battle of the Brains]]

| Shots = 4

'''Shikadi Aggrolyte'''s are powerful followers of [[Mortimer McMire]], they have been trained to be able to zip up and down poles as well as shooting energy through them. This makes them one of the most versatile enemies in the game, because if poles were placed throughout the level, a Shikadi Aggrolyte could cover the entire level. Shikadi Aggrolytes are immortal when they are on poles, because of a glitch that occurred if one died while still in mid-climb. This pole-climbing invulnerability makes them appear to have lots more health than they actually do.

'''Krodacian'''s are the same enemies that appear in [[The Keys of Krodacia]], but in this episode, they are noticably weaker and lack abs. They appear in nearly all the stages of [[Battle of the Brains]], being non-present only on Shikadus I, and [[The Warpcore]]. Many half-engineered Krodacians appear in [[The Krodacian Overlabs]], but those ones are likely to have been deployed later. The Krodacians and the [[Shikadi]] appear to be in conflict, as the only level where they both appear is [[Defense Hall M]], where they likely teamed up to stop Keen in a last ditch effort.

While this enemy appears to be a [[Korath]] replacement, it is actually a [[Goplat]]. No idea on how [[User:Ceilick | Ceilick]] accomplished that, though.

The '''Vlorg''' is a powerful species that inhabits Shikadus I. They are slow moving, but like to weave intricate patterns with their energy fields. They aren't fazed by [[Neural Stunner | blasts of energy]], as they get up some 3 seconds later, continuing their malevolent paths of destruction. The only components of a Vlorg appear to be the eye, and the three rings of energy that revolve around it.

On Shikadus I, there are also what seem to be larval Vlorgs, they only have two rings and like to stick around in clusters around the various facilities on Shikadus I. These Mini-Vlorgs are immortal, but are only a hazard, thankfully.

'''Probe Carrier'''s are a vital part of [[Mortimer]]'s arsenal of robots, the Probe Carrier floats around in search of Keen, they appear to be very fragile, and explode in a violent shower of fragments and [[Shikadi Probe | Probes]] when they are destroyed. The Probes that are spawned bounce around much more violently than if they were already generated, likely a minor bug to do with the [[Sphereful]]'s coding.

'''Shikadi Probes''' are little floating robots, they attempt to track Keen in the [[Shikadi]]'s endless quest to stop Commander Keen from interfiring with [[Mortimer McMire]]'s plans. These robots bounce along walls and floors, and can be found in practically every zone of [[Battle of the Brains]]. They seem to be momentum propelled, and 3 spawn every time a [[Probe Carrier]] is destroyed.

'''The Depleted Tunnels''' is the eighth level of '''Battle of the Brains''', a [[Keen 5]] mod by [[User:Ceilick|Ceilick]]. Here Keen travels to the rock planet of Altaire Prime in order to open one of the four security doors blocking the fifth teleporter. As the level name suggests, there are several underground tunnels, not to mention a huge structure similiar to the stations found in many other levels in the game. The main enemies Keen will encounter on Altaire Prime are the [[Asteroid]], [[Prospector]] and the [[Drillbot]]. Other enemies include the [[Bio-Garg]], [[Krodacian]], [[Shikadi Probe]], and [[Service Droid]]. The Oracle Janitor, one of Keen's friends can also be found in this level to give him important information to help him in his quest to defeat the Grand Intellect.

'''The Warpcore''' is the fifteenth and final level of '''Battle of the Brains''', a [[Keen 5]] mod by [[User:Ceilick|Ceilick]]. After defeating all of the attempts of the [[Shikadi]], [[Krodacian]]s, the robots, and the [[Cybloog | genetically]] [[Bio-Garg | engineered]] monsters [[Mortimer]] has made, at long last, all that stands between him and preventing the detonation of the universe; the legendary evil genius [[Mortimer McMire]] himself. At first glance it would seem that the battle would be evenly matched due to the only differences being goals and 1 IQ point, but that is not the case. Not only is Mort highly resistant to Keen's Neural Stunner (it takes like, 25 shots just to make him vulnerable), but his neural stunner is not strong enough to destroy the four energy cores throughout the station. The only enemies encountered in this stage are [[Mortimer McMire]], and a lone [[Cybloog]] on medium and hard difficulties.

The level consists of 4 WarpCores, each defending some sort of vital section of the level, meaning it is adamant that you destroy them to finish the level, and then the game. However as [[Princess Lindsey]] warned, your shots will not work on be enough to stop Mortimer's plans, meaning you must find some alternate way to disable the machines...

}}

[[Battle of the Brains]] is the third and final episode of the [[The Universe Is Toast (MOD Trilogy)|unofficial "The Universe is Toast"]] trilogy by [[User: Ceilick|Ceilick]], with the bulk of the modding done by Ceilick, [[User: Mink|Mink]] and [[User: Tulip|Tulip]], with extensive patching by [[User: Levellass|Levellass]] and [[User:Lemm|Lemm]]. Work on the mod began shortly after the release of [[Dead in the Desert]] in 2009. It was released in February 2011.

The story continues where Dead in the Desert left off. After escaping the planet Calidune and being reuinted with his friends in the Bean-with-Bacon Megarocket, Commander Keen learns of Mortimer McMire's plans to destroy a giant star and incinerating the universe. He also learns that Mortimer has a space station containing several transporters which can be used to teleport to distant worlds and locations. One of these transporters is heavily guarded and believed to lead to Mortimer himself. Keen must travel to four different worlds in order to activate the controls which unlock the doors to the final teleporter so that he can stop Mortimer before the universe is toast!

'''Defense Hall M''' is the penultimate level of '''Battle of the Brains''', a [[Keen 5]] mod by [[User:Ceilick|Ceilick]]. Keen has to face one of his greatest challenges yet; a massive tunnel filled with enemies that want to stop him from accessing [[The Warpcore]]. This stage consists of a fairly linear layout, with lots of turrets and crawlspaces. Nearly all the non-area specific enemies can be found in this level, namely the [[Krodacian (weak)]], the [[Krodacian Overlord]], the [[Service Droid]], the [[Cybloog]], and the [[Shikadi Aggrolyte]]s, who appear to have forged an uneasy truce with the Krodacians, for the goal of protecting their leader's reactor. This level features lots of pits in the ground to duck in, and many poles which the [[Shikadi Aggrolyte]]s take advantage of.

An interesting side note, the song that plays in this level is used once again, in the end sequence.

'''Mort's Workshop''' is the secret level in '''Battle of the Brains''', a [[Keen 5]] mod by [[User:Ceilick|Ceilick]]. After entering the teleporter found beneath the giant crater, Keen is teleported into Mortimer's backyard where he finds a clubhouse with a sign saying "Keep Out." In it is a tiny workshop which consists of a map of Keen's treehouse and a dartboard with Keen's picture on it. However, the real workshop is underground. There you will discover what is inside the mind of the most intelligent being in the universe as well as a first-hand look at his megalomania. Not only does Mort have energy cannons guarding this fortress but two of his greatest creations the [[Cybloog]] and [[Bio-Garg]] are patrolling every inch of the halls. In his workshop you will find several blueprints of his various experiments including the [[Cybloog]], [[Krodacian Overlord]], [[Mangling Machine]], and the never built Universal Toaster Cannon ("What a stupid idea!") Tread carefully Keen, because this may be the most evil level yet!

'''Krodacian Overlord'''s are an advanced subspecies of Krodacians, they are capable of rapid transport and shooting spheres of energy at intruders seeking to stop Mortimer (i.e. you). They are extremely strong both mentally and physically, being unable to be stunned at all.

Behaviorally speaking, they are a cross between [[Shikadi Master]]s and [[Robo Red]]s.

'''Defense Tower Surth''' is the fourth level of '''Battle of the Brains''', a [[Keen 5]] mod by [[User:Ceilick|Ceilick]]. Here Keen travels to the Shikadi homeworld in order to open one of the four security doors blocking the fifth teleporter. The level consists of green formations and blue and purple backgrounds. The [[Shikadi Aggrolyte]]s and their [[Vlorg]] companions are the main enemies in Shikadus I, but Keen will also encounter the [[Service Droid]], [[Shikadi Probe]], the [[Bio-Garg]], and the [[Cybloog]], one of which is guarding the keypad door which will open up one of the four security doors guarding the fifth teleporter. Ceilick's name can be found written with pipes somewhere in the level. The two other main designers' names are also in the game. [[User:Mink|Mink]]'s name can be found in [[VitaCorp (Keen 9 Level)]] and [[User:Tulip|Tulip]]'s name can be found in [[The Krodacian Overlabs]].

This level's name might be a misnomer, as the level goes in a squarish fashion, as opposed to the "tunnel" fashion of [[Defense Hall M]], or the "tower" fashion of [[Bloogton Tower]].

Commander Keen: Xmas 2010 is the first true Keen Dreams mod made by Szemigi, Ceilick and Levellass.

== The story ==

Billy Blaze, eight-year-old genius, is the mild mannered identity of Commander Keen --- defender of Earth! While the universe was safe once again from the threat of evil aliens and Mortimer McMire, Billy lied snugly in his bed, anticipating the morning to come. It was Christmas Eve and Billy had been extra good that year (he saved the planet, the galaxy, AND the universe--that’s sure to earn him a mountain of presents from Santa Claus).

Sleep wasn't coming easily for him that night, however. He watched the snow come down outside his bedroom window as visions of new gadgets and gizmos danced through his head. As his eyes began to droop shut and sleep finally began to settle in, a shadow passed over the window.

"Santa!" Billy exclaimed, suddenly wide awake and jumping out of bed and into his bunny slippers.

He dashed across the room and down the stairs, waiting behind the Christmas tree for Santa to come down the chimney.

Billy's giddy expectation quickly vanished as a large, ugly elf dressed as Santa emerged from the fireplace. The elf held a vacuum like nozzle and began sucking up all the presents from under the tree!

"Hey!" Billy exclaimed, stepping out from hiding. "Who are you and what do you think you're doing!"

"I am the Bad Elf and I'm going to ruin Christmas for everyone! I've captured Santa Claus and soon all the presents on Earth will belong to me!"

"Uh-huh, right." Keen said, and crossed his arms. "Well it’s only fair to warn you that you just robbed the wrong kid. I'm Commander Keen and there's no way I'm letting you get away with this!"

"And how are you going to do that if I return to the magical realm of Holidarius! Where- Oh. I shouldn't have told you that..."

The Bad Elf clapped his hands and vanished in a poof of smoke and Billy, thinking quick, snatched a snow hat (Magical realms are known to be chilly!) and dove into the cloud of smoke after the elf. The world went black around him and he suddenly felt very sleepy...

Billy awoke lying in the snow under a sparkling sky. Looking over the cold, desolate landscape, he saw no sign of Bad Elf. But he can't let the children and families of Earth down! He must rescue Santa and defeat the Bad Elf!

"This looks like a job for--Commander Keen!"

Eros: edited user page for selfish purposes :D

I am Eros, a Canadian with an overly large ego. My main goal here at KeenWiki is to help others by creating basic pages that give info about any of the original 7, and Celick's 3 unofficial TUITs (which actually seem like they '''were''' created by Tom Hall).

Nothing else to say, except i'm gladly getting owned by "Battle of the Brains".

----

UPDATE! As of January 4th, 2011, I am beginning a new chronicle of keen mods, I call it... HAYRO! You guessed right, this is going to mean that there will be a Halo world, many nostalgia-inducing monsters, insane level designs, fun dialogue, and much more!

This will be a trilogy, inspired by and referencing Halos, 1, 2, and 3. They will be mods of 6, 4 and probably, 5.

as of january 14, 2011, the alpha versions of Hayro 1 worldmap, level list, items, and the bosses have been finished.
pictures shall be released soon, on the PCKF hayro thread.

to be part of the dev team, PM me on PCKF.

Cybloog

2011-03-08T00:51:27Z

Eros: added minor info

{{Creature Infobox
| Harmful = Yes
| Appears = [[Battle of the Brains]]
| Shots = Immortal
}}

Cybloogs are creatures in [[Battle of the Brains]]. They are cybernetically enhanced Bloogs and they serve as shock troopers in Mortimer's Army. These Bloogs are protected by a special type of armor that makes them immune to the effects of the [[Neural Stunner]]. They carry special blasters that are powered by a [[Meep]] on their back. These blasters fire powerful sound waves that will travel through walls, making them dangerous opponents.

An interesting glitch causes them to face one way, but shoot the other. This sometimes occurs when you jump over its head and shoot, or when it senses you in one part, but you suddenly move some other way. This might also apply to the [[Robo Red]], but that's unlikely.

Defense Hall M

2011-03-08T00:46:40Z

Eros: page made, same deal.

{{Level Infobox
| Game = [[Battle of the Brains]]
| Level = 13
| Collectibles = none
| Points = ?
| Ammo = ? x [[Neural Stunner]]
| Lives = ?
| Location = above the Toast-Star
| Song = "Into the Reactor"
| Required = Yes
}}

'''Defense Hall M''' is (are?) the penultimate level of '''Battle of the Brains''', a [[Keen 5]] mod by [[User:Ceilick|Ceilick]]. Keen has to face one of his greatest challenges yet; a massive tunnel filled with enemies that want to stop him from accessing [[The Warpcore]]. This stage consists of a fairly linear layout, with lots of turrets and crawlspaces. Nearly all the non-area specific enemies can be found in this level, namely the [[Krodacian (weak)]], the [[Krodacian Overlord]], the [[Service Droid]], the [[Cybloog]], and the [[Shikadi Aggrolyte]]s, who appear to have forged an uneasy truce with the Krodacians, for the goal of protecting their leader's reactor. This level features lots of pits in the ground to duck in, and many poles which the [[Shikadi Aggrolyte]]s take advantage of.

An interesting side note, the song that plays in this level is used once again, in the end sequence.

Elevator Access Station

2011-03-08T00:37:35Z

Eros: forgot about cybloog

{{Level Infobox
| Game = [[Battle of the Brains]]
| Level = 8
| Collectibles = none
| Points = ?
| Ammo = ? x [[Neural Stunner]]
| Lives = ?
| Location = Krodacian Genetics Station
| Song = "Void"
| Required = Yes
}}

The '''Elevator Access Station''' is the eigth level of '''Battle of the Brains''', a [[Keen 5]] mod by [[User:Ceilick|Ceilick]]. Here Keen travels to the satellite orbiting [[Krodacia]], which is guarding the elevator accessing the [[The Krodacian Overlabs | Krodacian Overlabs]]. Enemies patrolling the grounds of the station are the [[Krodacian (weak) | Krodacians]], the [[Bio-Garg]], the menacing [[Cybloog]] and the insidious [[Krodacian Overlord]]s. In this level, [[Lt. Barker]] can be found, with some information about the location.

"Beware the Krodacian Overlords!" he says.
