Background

One day the Miner was going through a tunnel on his way to go through Starfish Cove. He began walking across an expanse of space with a bridge of rocks over it. While crossing, the rocks gave way and fell into the gap, taking the Miner with them. He landed unhurt and began traversing the underground caves. Eventually, the Miner made it to the end and found a way back up to the surface, which happened to be where the cave let out to Starfish Cove. He also found his girlfriend waiting there for him.

At another point in time, the Miner was resting against some barrels, when a puffing monster hopped up as he awoke. As the Miner approached the puffing monster, it inflated, causing the Miner to fall into a nearby ravine. The Miner then again had to go across many deadly obstacles to find his way home. Eventually, the miner was chased by a huge monster known as the Under-Dweller. The Miner managed to escape and defeat the boss. He was later seen without his mining equipment on, sitting on a bench, holding hot-chocolate near his house.
