Planetary Data

Ranbarumba is an oddly shaped planet, being shaped a bit like that of the stellar plate shape of snowflakes, with flat, hexagonal peaks as shown. It is slightly reflective gold (with traces of pink and white), with faces on each of the peaks. It seems to glow slightly, as a result of its reflective properties.

Inhabitants

The Ranbarumbans are an energetic race of orange and neon green aliens, who seem to either wear or naturally grow sets of feathers behind their heads, which are also neon green. Their single pupil is in the shape of an upside-down teardrop, though it can split into four and spin about under certain circumstances. They are in a perpetual state of celebration, involving dancing and music, due to the fact that they will die if they stop dancing.

Meteos Wars Data

Ranbarumba made its first and currently only appearance in Meteos Wars, as part of Galaxy Pack DLC.

Ranbarumba plays as oddly as it looks. It features enormous amounts of Glow and Zoo Meteos, followed by trace, equal amounts of Air, Fire, H20, Herb and Zap Meteos. Ranbarumba does not play like any other planet, having launch power based very strictly on stack size, and where the ignition took place. For starters, any ignition made on the ground on Ranbarumba has a tremendous amount of force behind it, while ignitions anywhere else will be lucky to even get up a single tile. Further ignitions will have their power determined by the width of the stack, where a one-column wide stack will have pathetically weak launches, stacks spanning the whole 9 columns will have plenty of power behind them. Combining the planet's odd Meteos frequencies with its strange physics makes for a difficult planet to get used to. It is well suited for more skilled players, though intermediate users will find this planet fun to use as well, due to its odd, though handy, physics, and the presence of two strong types of Meteos, followed by trace amounts of others, which can be combined for powerful attacks, especially when combined with its Planet Impact, Sentinel.

Trivia

• Ranbarumba is the last planet on the Planet Select screen in Meteos Wars, if all Downloadable Content items are purchased. If none are purchased, however, then Globin will be the last planet.
• In the Meteos Wars files, Ranbarumba is internally referred to as Vazaarle. It's very likely that this was an early name for the planet.

Archiver Notes on Ranbarumba

You know how sometimes they call major cities on planets a "City of Lights" due to the constant activity making lights shine on all through the night? Well, in a way different from the likes of Thirnova or Lastar, Ranbarumba could be called a planet of lights. The native populace of the planet is constantly active, whether it be dancing, general partying, or some other activity to keep them going. Somehow, biologically, the Ranbarumbans have developed to the point where their bodies need very little rest, which can be accomplished simply by doing weaker physical activity for a period of time, after which they can resume their vigorous lifestyle.

The few Ranbarumbans that are different enough to be more professional and calm in comparison generally run any alien relations, whether it is hosting living spaces, running communications, or generally attempting to live in more serious environments. While it is uncommon to see a Ranbarumban off-planet and hard at work, it can be almost assured that when they finish work for the time, they can be found partying or celebrating whatever off the clock.

Ranbarumba is typically seen as a popular vacation spot, although one should not expect to get much sleep. Almost no matter where one goes on the planet, there will be a constant festival going on somewhere. To put the matter in perspective, there have been a few recorded festivals where the reason was having nothing to have a festival about. Generally, Ranbarumbans may be hired off-planet to organize celebratory events, which generally turn out well with the creativeness and passion that a Ranbarumban will put into such activities.

After exposure to alien cultures for years now, the Ranbarumbans have incorporated things from as many civilizations as they can find. Whether it is food, dance styles, decorations, or whatever else they think is appropriate, it will likely be used in the festivities. From Yoojic Cloud Cakes to Luna=Lunar and Arodian Meteor Candies, many foreign delicacies can be found being made in Ranbarumban kitchens. Some restaurants on Ranbarumba even pride themselves on having the most diverse and largest menus in the galaxy.

Whenever a Ranbarumban has died for almost any reason, very little mourning is done, as the Ranbarumbans that were family of or knew the individual well instead choose to celebrate the deceased's life and accomplishments. After the festival for the deceased, the body is set aflame and is given a sendoff to the afterlife as a final hurrah for that Ranbarumban.
