I'd like to make a general observation quote about well.... Quote.

What's interesting is this doesn't even just apply to King for a Day, but the internet as a whole.

And it's that like the main plot twist behind his character like literally everyone knows by now, to the point they know about the plot twist more than they actually do about the game for a lot of people just like "oh noes glowing eye u gonna hav bad tom kiddo get dunk'd" Sans. The Genocide Route and the fact Sans is the final boss of all characters was obviously a SUPER huge spoiler in Undertale but like everybody and their uncle knows that Sans is a badass with a glowy eye, skelly blasters and bad times ahoy before they really know much else about him of his character to the point that that singular fight takes precidence over literally anything else he does in the game like his goofier moments with Pap, It's Raining Somewhere Else, the hot dogs or the telescope prank which all serve to flesh (although he ironically doesn't have any hah hah j o k e) out his character much more.

More people know that he's a robot named Quote before they know like anything else about him or Cave Story in general. (save maybe Curly and Balrog's appearances, mostly former she's er..... popular on the internet, let's put it '>_>) In the original game he's called Mr. Traveler for like 85% of the game and his true name of Quote is only revealed by Curly popping up later after the game's like 90% done and telling him about his past, which is shortly after the reveal that he was a robot, which given his skin tone vs. the skin tone of the Doctor was kind of vaguely obvious, (although it can kind of vaguely be excused by the existence of Misery) plus the fact a large amount of fanart gives him jointed elbows and knees, which isn't really helped at all by Curly having them by default due to being introduced after the plot twist, to the point that unlike Quote it's actually harder to find fanart of her WITHOUT the visible joints even though her original art didn't have them, completely spoiling the plot twist. Plus she's actually much more popular than him due to being much more personable than the mute and expressionless protagonist, (and the "attractive girl" factor .--.) asthis simple Google Trends data screenshot shows.

(I used generic versions as most people more than likely wouldn't take the time to capitalize or spell their full names, plus proving my point that everyone already knows his name, even during the early years when the game was new, the search flatlines for "mr traveler cave story" and "traveler cave story", using just "mr traveler" causes it to peak around the game's release but then turn into regular results due to cross-contaminantion from apparently something blue-related and a YouTuber who makes travel videos)
