History VideoGame / KlonoaDoorToPhantomile

* CrystalLandscape: The Moon Kin gdom sits on (or perhaps ''is'') a giant floating castle; many of its parts are made from crystals.

While the 1999 UsefulNotes/WonderSwan title ''Moonlight Museum'' was the first follow-up to ''Door to Phantomile'', the proper sequel -- ''VideoGame/Klonoa2LunateasVeil'' -- would be released in 2001 for the Platform/PlayStation2.

In 2008, the game would receive a remake on the UsefulNotes/NintendoWii. It updated the visuals to be fully 3D, revised the script (with new dubs spoken in various languages, alongside the [[SpeakingSimlish Phantomilian]] featured in the original), introduced a new design for Klonoa, and added a few quality-of-life improvements. Despite positive reviews, this version of the game sold poorly enough to [[FranchiseKiller seemingly leave the series for dead]] for over a decade.

[[MilestoneCelebration Twenty-five years after the original game's release]], it would go on to receive a HD remaster on UsefulNotes/NintendoSwitch, Platform/PlayStation4, UsefulNotes/PlayStation5, UsefulNotes/XboxOne, UsefulNotes/XboxSeriesXAndS and UsefulNotes/{{Steam}} in 2022. Specifically, it comprised one half of the CompilationRerelease ''Klonoa: Phantasy Reverie Series'', alongside its sequel. The port is largely identical to the Wii remake, but it reverts some of the changes to be more in line with the original game -- including using Klonoa and other characters' older designs, sticking much closer to the original script, and reusing the [=PS1=] version's voices verbatim.

* VideoGameRemake: The original [=PS1=] game was remade for the UsefulNotes/{{Wii}}. This version updated the graphics, adjusted the gameplay to be easier, incorporated intelligible voice acting in various languages (in addition to a new voice-over in [[SpeakingSimlish the Phantomilian language]]), and added some other features.

''Klonoa: Door to Phantomile'' is the first entry in the ''VideoGame/{{Klonoa}}'' series. It was originally released exclusively on the UsefulNotes/PlayStation in 1997 in Japan, with an international release following in 1998.

* CounterProductiveWarning:A villainous example. Joka warns two of his boss monsters to watch out for their [[AttackItsWeakPoint weak points]], inadvertently telling Klonoa and the player how to beat them:
