First off, lemme say I am so freaking happy to be back! I'm finishing the last of my university's responsabilities for this semester, and I've finished some very well-needed psychological treatment, and I feel like a new man! Soon enough, I'll get back to the more important revisions I had planned, but as I have this mostly done, I thought, eh, why not start it up!
So, Adventure Island, or Master Higgins to be exact, needs to be revised. Here's the page.
What's wrong with it, one might'stn'td've say, and to that I say: Check the feats. There is... no evidence really about the Sorcerer creating that entire realm. Heck, in fact, the entire context is wrong. I'd say "go back to here and watch everything thereon, I double dog dare you to find anything that shows the Sorcerer creating the realm and it being destroyed with his death", but I can do better. And better I shall do!
So, first off, the planet we can see from the Sorcerer's boss battle is clearly Master Higgins' planet, and in no way Higgins can just jump to where they fight (which I'm pretty sure is the moon) with his normal speed. The evidence for both is the same: To get there, Higgins had to use the Sky Bell, which explicitly says that he just jumps beyond the sky. That means that he can only achieve such travelspeeds through an item that might only work on that specific set of conditions. And... okay, really, there's not much else to say, that also disproves that the Sorcerer created an entire realm with planets and stars and stuff, and even if we assumed he did create the entire arena, we have no proof that it was done instantly, or that it was destroyed upon his death, or that it would even scale to the combat-usable power, for reasons I'll get into.
Well, bummer, does that mean that Higgins profile ought to be deleted? Not quite, my friends!
See, Higgins got lots of feats to scale him to! I have a full list here on me of all games and all feats, neatly ordered:
AP/Dura:
Here are some calculations I did, if it helps!

See, Higgins got lots of feats to scale him to! I have a full list here on me of all games and all feats, neatly ordered:
AP/Dura:
- Higgins and his dinos repeatedly break boulders with their strikes. (All games)
- Higgins can break very large statues and stone walls. (Adventure Island: The Beginning)
- Higgins knocks down ice blocks by throwing darts at them. (New Adventure Island)
- Higgins' fire sword can break very big ice walls and blocks, the fire shield can vaporize snow and ice projectiles that touch it instantly, the crystal sword is stronger than mere metal, and he generally upscales from a lot of the stuff he does in game. (Super Adventure Island II)
- Higgins repeatedly defeats foes such as immense stone blocks (Adventure Island: The Beginning), living metal statues (Super Adventure Island), stone golems (Adventure Island IV), bears that can knock down logs by just jumping (New Adventure Island), living trees and monkeys in plate armor. (Super Adventure Island II) Besides, he generally scales to his enemies that can fight with dinosaurs and endure such other things. He also fights with enemies that can do such things as throwing bombs that shake the ground seriously and makes very big debris fall from the roof. (New Adventure Island)
- Now, the trickier feats happen in Adventure Island IV. In-game, Higgins mostly does feats similar to that of other games, but there is one exception... Whenever the bosses are defeated, immense structures in the worldmap are destroyed and actual effects take place in the world, akin to Megaman X, with it being implied that the bosses are tied to such places. I am unsure if we should scale as there might be some circumstances we are unaware of, and that the scale in the map might be exaggerated, but it undeniably does happen. The best example is the lava stage's boss' defeat, which cools the lava of the volcano until it becomes rocklike in moments.
- Higgins can lift and throw stone tablets with one hand, should not be far behind the Blue Comptosaurus which can push stone blocks and Higgins himself can, again with one hand, raise and throw stone blocks. (Adventure Island IV)
- Higgins, when he learns to Shove, can easily push very big rock, ice and brick formations. (Super Adventure Island II)
- Higgins pushes a boulder. (Adventure Island: The Beginning)
- Higgins is repeatedly shown in all games as capable of on the very least easily reacting to and hitting birds of prey mid-flight, if not outright being far faster than them. A few examples here.
- Higgins leaps over thrown spears. (Super Adventure Island)
- In general scales to his enemies, that can react to his projectiles, such as thrown knives.
- And the massive outlier: Higgins can at least easily react to, if not outright outrun, lightning bolts from clouds. (New Adventure Island)
Here are some calculations I did, if it helps!
