A prequel is also not a bad idea, but honestly I dont think it'd work too well... unless you did not play as any character we know. Just one of those faceless robots. Maybe even the one who explodes in the Core before the fight.
There's a lot of hinting about Curly and Quote's actions years before on the island and their secret mission. It would be cool to play as either of them during the Mimiga Wars. Seeing all those other robots running around fighting rabid Mimiga. Not to mention the past crown owners, it seems the island has been around for quite a while.

Is beating the sanctuary at a time of 8 minutes, 34 seconds, good?
I'd say anything under 4.00 is good, personally lol. The fastest I've seen is 2.33. I've done ~3.30, can't remember the exact time, almost a whole minute slower... but I didn't use any rapid key program or anything either. Which meant I used spur instead of the snake. I probably could have shaved almost 30 seconds off, but 2.33 still would have been unthinkable at that point.
I also did a 3hp minimal items run of the game but could only get up to core. Monster X was a pain, but I found the core way too hard. I probably tried 30-40 times but still couldn't do it. :/
This is a bit of offtopic, but there's an unofficial mod called WTFstory. It takes place after that. I played it to the (current) end, it was pretty fun and had some nice puzzles. Also, you can replay the game with the portal gun if you complete it.
That game is

It's Pixel's next game, apparently titled 'The Underside'
It runs on Cave Story's engine, but doesnt have anything to do with the game supposedly...
Odd, considering an area of Cave Story was titled 'The Underside', but then was cut out...
And the main character of this new game can get a Quote costume...
IS IT the fabled Cave Story 2? Who knows?

Yeah, I watched an LP of Underside and the guy commentating said it was a fan-made game; it's not Pixel's work.
Quote from Felthat »
wait waaaat no no no.
The Underside has nothing to do with pixel. Nothing nothing nothing. Unless pixel is called mr.Podunkian and develops his games in english. And also made Merry Gear Solid 2.
The underside, as far as I understand it, takes heavy HEAVY graphical inspiration from cave story and has similar weapons and such, but nothing else.
It's been in development for about the age of the universe now and updates are released every time the stars are right and the dark spawn Cthulhu rises from his watery grave. Pretty sad actually.
Goddamnit. :C
I got my hopes up too. ;-;

Well yeah, though the Underside shares a striking similarity to CS it's programmed and everything by Arthur "Mr. Podunkian" Lee. Who is also the premiere of PIGscene (a stab at TIGS), he also made the Merry Gear Solid series, and quite a few other games you should check out if you like The Underside.
(as I just realized Mr. Felthat has summarized, sorry to repeat)

I'm stuck in the sand place, I just beat Omega and lifted the spell on the Sunstones, but when I go there there are breakable blocks below me and I can't go any further.
Wow, this Is a really old topic. But who cares, I LOVE Cave Story. It's one of the best games I've ever played, no joke. Great story, and an amazing soundtrack. I had it on my old DSi, which I no longer own. Good news is that there's a 3D version of it in the eShop that still keeps the original graphics of the game. I might get it once I feel like even touching my 3DS again, lol.

Ignore this guy, keep the polar star and you'll get the spur, which is, in my opinion, the best weapon in the game.
