I straight up cannot think of anything I notably dislike about Klonoa 2. Like... it's kind of short, I guess... but that's kind of it. The level design is incredibly inventive and dynamic, the story is great with a very endearing cast of characters, the music is absolutely lovely and highly memorable, the locales are detailed and varied, it takes everything great from the first game and expands upon it greatly... this game is just an absolute banger from front to back. Genuinely a personal top 10 2D platformer contender.

...Like, I guess that one Momett Doll in the tank chase level that's right next to a trampoline which makes it really tricky to grab with just the Wind Bullet alone is pretty annoying, but this just docks one point off an otherwise 14/10 game so it basically evens out.
