"Huzzah! Quote is here, and he’s ready for this new adventure to begin! He may be silent, but his trusty Polar Star sure isn’t. Armed with that and music from classic indie platformers, nothing is going to stop him from claiming his rightful place as the king of indie games!"

- Quote's description on the MOJO!! Quote was the first of two newcomer contestants revealed at the MAGFest 2019 SiIvaGunner panel, the other being Adam Levine.
