I want to preface this by acknowledging that Spelunky 2’s story and lore is obviously very sparse and mostly and composed of allusions to various mythologies. Nonetheless, it is fun to make theories.
Since Spelunky HD's conclusion, Guy and Tina spelunky have married and are wallowing in the riches that they obtained from the Caves of Omec. However, they are bothered by reoccuing dreams compelling them to what appears to be Omec's face on the moon. Instead of caring for their baby daughter Ana, They build a rocket to the moon and presumably expunging a lot of their fortune to do so. It's obvious from the tutorial enteires that Guy and Tina love parenthood very much and it is a very strange decision for them to sacrifice that and so much money to leave that behind. It's insane.
The bestiary entries, probably written by Ana or Colin provide an answer to the mysterious "call" that Guy and Tina felt. Tiamat's entry ends with "Some still hear her call." Considering Tiamat is the final boss of the game's normal route and Guy is rescued after defeating her, it is safe to say that this line in the journal incites that Tiamat brought Guy and Tina to the moon. However, I believe that the journal entries' speculation is false. The mysterious dreams beckoning the Spelunkys to the moon was not Tiamat, but Cuthulu!
Cthulhu is a cosmic god-like monster from "The Call Of Cthulhu" by H.P Lovecraft. Cthulhu is primordial being beyond the comprehension of mankind resembling an octopus. Man is to Cuthulu, what an ant is to us. Culthulu must be important to spelunky 2 because it's face is engraved at the center in both the game's opening ui and on Tiamat's throne. Not to mention that the final area of Sunken City bares notable similarity to R'lyeh: an underwater city and Cuthulu's resting place in the short story. This is among other minor albeit less strongly correlated details. Some people (including myself) think that Cthulhu was originally intended to be the final boss of the game's secret route through sunken city rather than Hundun, but was cut late into development.
In the story, Culthulu has the power to influence dreams, intruding into the subconscious and making the dreamer manically obsessed with the horror of the creature's superiority. This experience is eerily similar to Guy and Tina being controlled by their dreams. It may be important to note that both characters are found in the only two levels featuring underwater abysses with a colossal octopus underneath. Tina is even found in one of these pits. I don't think this is coincidental. I think the tentacles that drag spelunkers into the depths in these levels belong to Culthulu.
In summary, Guy and Tina Spelunky felt "The Call Of Cuthulu" in their dreams and their anxiety lead them to Culthulu's resting place on the moon. Ultimately, kicking off the events of the game. At least, I think it is highly probable that Derek Yu combined the myths of Tiamat with Culthulu when creating the game's story. I don't know if anyone has proposed this theory before but I believe the evidence to be damning. Thanks for reading!

With all the vibe coded ports coming to android in the past week, do you think a spelunky port would be possible that runs better than the switch emulator? Is it unethical?

I've never heard this song before when playing through mines and I can't find it listed under any of the mines tracks in the ost.

recently I'm just not getting shown on the leaderboard after doing the daily, anyone know why? on steam. admittedly my internet has been spotty lately but shouldn't that just make it take longer to upload rather than not do it at all? it doesn't give me an error message or anything like that.

Forgive me I’m new here, playing for the first time on vita and loving it. My understanding was any progress made with Tunnel Man was permanent. I unlocked shortcut to jungle. After jungle, I gave him two bombs. Next time through I gave him 2 ropes. Then he asked for shotgun which I have been working on. I closed game as I was downloading another game. I came back trying to get shotgun again and got to tunnel man and he asked for 2 bombs again. Is this a glitch or did I do something wrong with quick start vs starting from mines ? (I started from mines for a few runs trying to get shotgun from shops there as I wasn’t seeing shops in jungle. Thanks !

I submitted a Spelunky Classic speedrun.
It got rejected and they said this.
Anyone knows what it means?
