Boobus' Chamber

This is the final "boss" level of [[Keen Dreams]]. To be able to enter it, the player must have 12 [[Boobus Bombs]], which are used to kill [[Boobus Tuber]].

When the player presses the fire key a [[Boobus Bomb]] is fired instead of a [[Flower Power]]. Once 12 of these have hit [[Boobus Tuber]], he explodes, and the game is won.

The boss is easier to defeat if the player waits for 3 seconds after entering the level, and then rapidly fires Boobus Bombs.

Stupendous Sandwich of Chungella IV

Genius314: Removed stuff about "giant milkshake" - never mentioned in the game

The '''Stupendous Sandwich of Chungella IV''' was renowned as the largest sandwich in the galaxy until its consumption. It was bought (or possibly stolen) by the [[Bloog]]s of [[Fribbulus Xax]] in [[Keen 6]]. They were told its whereabouts in exchange for kidnapping [[Molly McMire]], the babysitter of [[Commander Keen]], in order to distract him from a plot to blow up the universe.

Keen, once seeing it, mentions that it's the second biggest sandwich he has ever seen. Where he has seen a larger one remains untold.

{{Spoiler|The sandwich is hidden in the top right corner of [[Bloogfoods, Inc.]], and when obtained, can be fed to the [[Grabbiter]] in exchange for a secret. The secret is that the Grabbiter will fall asleep after a big meal, thus allowing Keen to pass. At the end of Keen 6 it is revealed that [[Mortimer McMire|Mortimer]] is the one who arranged the kidnapping of Molly.}}

Genius314: Fixed bullets

==Candy Words==

In some levels, words can be found written in the [[Standard Galactic Alphabet]] using candy as blocks to form the letters. For example, the letters "TH" can be found at the entrance of the first level, [[Vortiville]], formed with [[Big-n-Beefy Burger|burgers]]. Those letters are the initials of [[Tom Hall]], the game designer.

==Real-World References==

Many of the level names in the game refer to New York City boroughs, neighborhoods, and forts.
*[[The Bonks]]: The Bronx
*[[Beens]]: Queens
*[[Hal's Kitchen]]: Hell's Kitchen (Which is actually a neighborhood, not a restaurant, as the game implies)
TODO: Add fort references.

Talk:Spot

Genius314:

* Need a picture of Spot from Keen 6
* Would be nice with a screenshot of Billy's mother showing her surprise upon discovering Spot for the first time
:Hmmm, I think I remembered a bit wrong -- there seems to be more than one yorp in Keen 6 demo, so it's possible it isn't Spot afterall. I'll add info about it to yorp page.

Isn't it possible that the yorp ''isn't'' named Spot? The dog bowl could belong to an unmentioned pet dog. I also think it's a bit unlikely that they went out and bought a personalized food bowl sometime between night and morning. I'm not upset with the name Spot, but there's possibility that it's not his name. --[[User:Genius314|Genius314]] 17:15, 6 July 2007 (GMT)

I think that this should be moved to "Vorticon Railgun",please.--[[User:Xterra1|Xterra1]] 02:59, 3 July 2007 (GMT)
:Why? You'll need to provide a reason. Ideally proof from one of the Keen games that this spelling is incorrect. -- [[User:Malvineous|Malvineous]] 12:02, 3 July 2007 (GMT)

:In "Beyond the Pogo"'s Keencyclopedia (not a typo,Malv,I'm American) it's called "Vorticon Railgun"! Also on commander-keen.com it's spelled that way.--[[User:Xterra1|Xterra1]] 15:09, 3 July 2007 (GMT)

::BtP isn't anything official perfect guide to Keen. It's another fan site, as is commander-keen.com. You shouldn't trust those as errorless references. And about this subject, I can't find this name anywhere (although it's probably somewhere), so can't say what is wrong or not. --[[User:KeenRush|KeenRush]] 23:22, 3 July 2007 (GMT)

:::A vote to move the article? All in favor contact me,all against talk here. I'll be watching.--[[User:Xterra1|Xterra1]] 03:21, 4 July 2007 (GMT)

::::Hmm, you're right, it doesn't seem to be given a name at all in the game - so where did this name come from then? -- [[User:Malvineous|Malvineous]] 11:14, 4 July 2007 (GMT)

:::::IIRC, Levellord used that name in one of her mods. I have not read it elsewhere, I believe.--[[User:Shadow Master|Shadow Master]] 14:25, 4 July 2007 (GMT)

:::: I tried to look for the correct name in the games, game's story, Cheat Sheet, and I've found nothing. The closest ones are "ray gun", "pistol" and "Vorticon Hyper-pistol", neither of which is clearly stated. "Ray gun" is the general name for all guns in Keen Vorticons; "pistol" is the name used in the Keen 3 information window, but it is the same name used in Keen 2, and the gun in that other game is officially called Vorticon Hyper-pistol; and in Keen Dreams, the Vorticon Hyper-Pistol is mentioned, and one could asume that it was the last one Keen used, but it is not certain. It is different from the Vorticon Hyper-Pistol in Keen 2, so it's confusing to call it with the same name, even more if it's never called that way officially.

:::: In the BtP site, it is actually called "Vorticon Rail-Gun", NOT "Vorticon Railgun", so I'm not even sure why this discussion started. In any event, I have no idea where the owner of BtP got that name from, but it's the only name really given to it.[[User:Sega381|Sega381]] 03:43, 5 July 2007 (GMT)

::::: This discussion was started because somebody thought it was going to be a good idea to rename the article. In my opinion, this should not be done till somebody finds the actual, official name of this weapon in Keen 3, even if we have to rename it to something like "Pistol (Keen 3)". Not sure who we should ask... Tom Hall? --[[User:Shadow Master|Shadow Master]] 13:40, 5 July 2007 (GMT)

::::::How about that one-shot ammo pack for the railgun? Is that different?--[[User:Xterra1|Xterra1]] 16:30, 6 July 2007 (GMT)

::::: Speaking of Rail-Gun names, I think the thing about it being called the "HyperPistol Version 2" should be gotten rid of. I've never seen that name anywhere. I don't mind stuff in the article about different names, but that just doesn't seem to fit. --[[User:Genius314|Genius314]] 17:08, 6 July 2007 (GMT)

[[Image:Gik-ingame.png|frame|Keen riding a [[Gik]]]]

[[Image:Gik.png|left]]

[[Gik]]s resemble a giant yellow ladybird; they are a burrowing creature found on [[Fribbulus Xax]]. They are incredibly strong, being able to support a small person on their backs without any discomfort. Being mostly scavengers, [[Gik]]s supply themselves with their own food by killing prey and leaving it to decay before coming back to consume it. They kill via their four sharp and poisonous legs, which resemble nothing so much as small stubby spines. They will follow prey around until it is not watching then jump, flip over and slide past their victim, slashing them with their spines as they go. They are hard to destroy and best avoided.

=== Appearance in Keen GBC ===

<center>[[Image:Gik.gif|32px]]</center>

Gik appear in [[Keen GBC]], where they are deadly to the touch when upside down. They have larger eyes and are no longer beetle-like, being more soft shelled. Keen can no longer ride them.

Talk:Korath III

Genius314:

== Koraths or Shikadi? ==

Is the Base actually owned by Koraths? I always figured it was owned by Shikadi, since it has similar structures to the ones in the Omegamatic. --[[User:Genius314|Genius314]] 02:34, 24 June 2007 (GMT)

:The base is populated mainly by Koraths, and in the alternative ending, the Shikadi are detained by the Korath Police of the Korath Base for double parking. That implies that the Shikadi were only using the base for parking, and that the Korath are the "owners" or actual inhabitants. The construction similarities could go the other way: the Shikadi, parking on Korath, may have been inspired by their structures when building the Omegamatic with Vitacorp. Or, maybe those structures are just common in that sector of the galaxy. [[User:Sega381|Sega381]] 13:03, 25 June 2007 (GMT)

::I guess. I just always figured that the Koraths were only there because they were just exploring it or something. Also, theres the fact that there are two teleporters leading from the base to the Omegamatic, and a fuse controlling their getaway ship. I don't really care what the article says, though. Its not like it matters that much. --[[User:Genius314|Genius314]] 13:59, 25 June 2007 (GMT)

[[Korath III]] is the planet orbited by the [[Omegamatic]] in [[Keen 5]]. It's surface is mostly yellow, with brown streaks that could be canyons. Also, the clouds on the planet are purple. The planet is probably very dry, though it supports life. The [[Korath]]s are the only known inhabitants of the planet.

The [[Korath III Base]], manned by Koraths, is located on its surface. The [[Shikadi Ship]] was parked near the base by the [[Shikadi]] while they were building the Omegamatic.
