Klonoa can also flap his ears for a second or so of hovering. When holding an enemy, you can toss it at other enemies or objects, or you can double jump by shoving the enemy down at the ground in mid-air. Klonoa's main ability is a wind-based attack that grabs enemies at range and reels them in so he can carry them around. Inside the ring lives Huepoe (retranslated from Huepow in the original version), a wind spirit who gives Klonoa some additional powers and typically hangs out in cutscenes. Klonoa himself is a long-eared cat-like creature who rolls around with a gigantic ring. Klonoa: Door to Phantomile is a 2D, sideview platformer with polygonal backgrounds that twist and turn behind you, giving the game a 3D look and feel.
Really, the only bad thing I could say about Klonoa is that standards for gameplay and difficulty have changed over the last decade, so some players might find the game to be both too easy and too short to capture their imagination for more than a weekend. This new version recreates the levels and story of the first game, throws in some upgrades where appropriate, and sticks close to the 2D/3D formula of the original game. But there's nothing about the game itself that feels inaccessible or terribly deep, which is why it's cool that the original game is getting a second chance at life via a straight-up remake on the Wii.

While it garnered enough of a following to generate a sequel and few other releases, the series never really caught on in a huge way, relegating this cute platformer to cult status.
Klonoa: Door to Phantomile got its start as a PlayStation game, originally released well over a decade ago. Klonoa takes place in a bright, beautiful world.
