Awesome / NiGHTS into Dreams…

• Twin Seeds, the game's final 'Dream'. The beginning features a moment where the player's character is thrown away from the Ideya Palace by Wizeman, leaving them stranded on a small island at the level's edge, floating thousands of feet above the city and completely cut off from NiGHTS, with whom the characters join in order to fly. The player must jump off the edge, which initially appears to lead to a Game Over, until the character comes swooping back up into the air, flying under their own power, having finally gathered the confidence and faith to fly alone. Then, at level's end, the second character meets the player's as Elliot and Claris work in unison to free NiGHTS and go on to fight Wiseman.
• Christmas NiGHTS also had Sonic the Hedgehog's first 3D Debut (Sonic: into Dreams), with Sonic performing the goals with running. The boss? Eggman imitating the Puffy boss.
• The music from both games is consistently lauded as a strength of the series.
  • The OC Remix album Nights: Lucid Dreaming also is considered one of the best compilations the site's done.
