I dare you guys to defeat Ballos with a level 3 nemesis. Me? I'm not man enough.

Hell is quite easy to get through once you learn the initial booster puzzles before getting the life capsule.

The way I remember it: short hop, four very light booster bursts to keep you clear of the OHKO spikes, then a decent burst to get you far enough right, then the remainder of your booster to get up onto the safe area where a message box appears.
Then the next bit, short hop, press booster rapidly on and off (you cover same distance for less fuel) so you have booster left for the next bit; once you've cleared this set of OHKO spikes then hit the experience orbs with your Missile Launcher to level it up;

Then aim to the right, as soon as you come level with the life capsule, use the last skerricks of your boost to get to the life capsule.

That part's easy. It's the second and third rooms that are the trouble. Bah, now I really have to go for another attempt at this.

So about challenges, anyone know how to do the ones added by Cave Story+? Like the Nemesis one. For that, I just try to run through without attacking anything, but that never works out.

I've beaten Ballos on the original Cave Story. It was pretty awesome.

The Core was quite disappointing when I fought it, but that's probably because I had the machine gun. I wonder what fighting it with the polar star will be like.

The core was easy once you learnt its patterns. Level 2 or 3 blade right up close rips through it in seconds. Missiles are good too. The machine gun is very useful- in my most recent playthrough I used the Polar Star only (waiting for the Spur) and it took an eternity.

To me the core was hard if you didn't know how to handle the enemies it uses to protect itself

I in fact didn't have Polar Star. I had to fight it with the Sword.

Like I said, once you learn its patterns, it's rather easy. Until then it's ridiculously hard.
