“I’m pretty sure that, with this … release [4.2.0], Booster’s Lab is the definitive Cave Story editor now. There’s really no reason to use any other editor for modding.” - GirakaCHEEZER

Booster’s Lab is a Java-based cross-platform Cave Story editor created by Noxid. Currently, it is the most recommended editor due to its stability, range of features and multi-engine compatibility.
