The game was originally a ''Franchise/MickeyMouse'' game in Japan, going by the name of '''Mickey Mouse 3: Dream Balloon''', but since ''Creator/{{Capcom}}'' owned the exclusive publishing rights to Disney-brand games in the U.S at the time, Kemco was forced to give the game [[DolledUpInstallment a re-touch]], removing any references to Mickey Mouse and replacing it with a whole new character. The original plot revolves around Mickey working part-time as a balloon vendor in order to buy a birthday present for WesternAnimation/MinnieMouse. Upon hearing from [[WesternAnimation/PlutoThePup Pluto]] that Minnie cannot wake up, he goes to investigate and enter Minnie's house to find that she has been trapped in a series of nightmares. In order for her to awaken from her scary dreams, Mickey [[JourneyToTheCenterOfTheMind magically enters Minnie's mind]] to save her.

As far as Kid Klown himself goes, this wouldn't be the last we hear from him. Kid Klown would reappear in a pseudo-sequel, ''VideoGame/KidKlownInCrazyChase'' for the ''[[UsefulNotes/SuperNintendoEntertainmentSystem Super Nintendo]]'', with a new re-vamped design and introducing a whole new universe of characters.

A 2D PlatformGame released by Kemco in 1993.

Our titular protagonist is Kid Klown, who is part of a travelling clown family who is on their way to their next performance. However, the Evil Night Mayor confronts the group and asks Kid Klown to help him seek treasure. Kid Klown, aware of the evil Night Mayor's ways from his parents, naturally refuses. The Night Mayor kidnaps Kid's family and takes them to his world, and challenges the young clown to rescue them. So there you have it. Kid Klown has to travel through the Night Mayor's twisted world to rescue his family and take down the Night Mayor.

''Kid Klown in Night Mayor World'' is a standard platformer with a slight twist. Kid Klown battles enemies with the use of his balloons. They are useful as throwable projectiles or just letting him hover over distances. There are total of seven stages in the game, but the first five can be selected in any order.

The game was originally a ''Franchise/MickeyMouse'' game in Japan, going by the name of '''Mickey Mouse 3: Dream Balloon''', but since ''Creator/{{Capcom}}'' owned the exclusive publishing rights to Disney-brand games in the U.S at the time, Kemco was forced to give the game [[DolledUpInstallment a re-touch]], removing any references to Mickey Mouse and replacing it with a whole new character.

As far as Kid Klown himself goes, this wouldn't be the last we hear from him, he would reappear in a psuedo-sequel, ''VideoGame/KidKlownInCrazyChase'' for the ''[[UsefulNotes/SuperNintendoEntertainmentSystem Super Nintendo]]'', with a new re-vamped design and introducing a whole new universe of characters.
