Ms. Sign

Ms. Sign (カンバン娘 Kanban Musume, Signboard Girl) is an enemy that appears in the Main Chapters and Legend Stages.

Enemy

This enemy appears in almost any level when the player takes too much time, normally when the player's timed score reaches 0. She is not a threat and is mostly just there to signify that you are taking too long, however she still does attack, dealing one damage per hit. In some levels, there are different conditions for how and when Ms. Sign spawns, and in an even smaller selection of levels, they indicate Assassin Bears that are about to be spawned.

In Last Gang, Ms. Sign may spawn earlier than usual (2 mins 6.6s), along with Assassin Bears.

Specifically in Chubby B. Goode, Ms. Sign spawns twice (first at 10 mins, second one at 14 mins 26.6s), and after that the player will end up facing highly magnified Assassin Bears afterwards. This also happens in Murmuring Evil, but with half as much time for the Ms. Signs to spawn.

Strangely, in Learned to Love, Ms. Signs are completely replaced by Assassin Bears.

In Gouache Ghouls, Ms. Sign spawns infinitely after 66.6 secs, taking up the enemy limit. If the enemy base is damaged before that happens, extremely buffed Angels will appear and destroy the player's base.

Strategies

Ms. Sign herself doesn't pose any threat and can be safely ignored outside of the above levels. However, there is a "cheesing strategy" for many levels (notably Dark Souls and Deathhawk) with weak to mid-level peons involving this enemy that exploits her many knockbacks. If you wait for ten Ms. Signs to spawn, no other enemies will, including the boss. From there you can use Wall Cats to knock her back, and then summon your high-damage attackers. Note that this takes 75 minutes WITH a Speed Up, so it should only be used as a last resort.

  • In the new English re-release, she is referred to as Ms. Sign and her sign now reads "Too slow!! Try harder next time!!".
• In the Korean version, it is said that Doge is her pet.
• This enemy has the second-highest amount of knockbacks, with Gummy Cat in the first place.
• Ms. Sign does not appear in any Uncanny Legends stage except for An Ancient Curse, Murmuring Evil and Furry Cavern.
