NotesEdit

Schnauz's notesEdit

See how this shield is engraved with the image of a massive ringed planet? In ancient times, the ring was thought to be a curse that caused space travelers to forever end up right back where they began. But nowadays, the ring has come to represent a joyful return home after a long journey. It was also customary to give this shield to someone you love in hopes it would bring them home to you safely.

Olimar's notesEdit

When I was little, I'd look at pictures of the planets and imagine that the rings around them were roads you could travel on... Of course, once I got to space, I learned that those rings are usually made up of dust particles. I've never been so disappointed.
