Cave Story uses very simple controls that are easy to figure out. There are three basic sets of controls for the game.
Action[edit]
These controls are used while exploring the game's areas. To note, W will only work once you have gotten the Map System item. Additionally, ↓ is also the button you use to enter doors and initiate conversations. K also works.
- ←→ : Move
- ↑ : Look up
- ↓ : Search (Or look down while jumping)
- K : Search
- Z Enter : Jump
- X : Fire weapon
- S : Next weapon
- A : Previous weapon
- Q : Item screen
- W : Map
Conversation[edit]
These controls are only used when you are talking to characters or making yes/no choices during the game.
- ←→ : Select Yes/No
- X / Z : Continue conversation
Item Screen[edit]
These controls are used once you open up the item screen via Q while you are using the action controls.
- ↑ ↓ ←→ : Select item
