#25 Klonoa: Door to Phantomile

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/6/5/8/AABIPnAADmYq.jpg

There is a scene in Klonoa's story, that is the saddest thing I've ever experienced in any media. I can randomly watch this scene on youtube 20 years later, and still break down in tears, even if I was in a very happy mood moments before!

And it's not just relying on traditional tropes that make you cry. This is a profound heartbreak. We're talking "The Notebook" levels.

That's the only thing that's putting Klonoa 1 above Klonoa 2 on this list though, because other than that, Klonoa 2 is SLIGHTLY better in every way. The SCALE of the level design just isn't here, like it is in Klonoa 2, and the puzzles aren't as good. Klonoa 1 is shorter though, which is nice!

I normally despise bosses, but I really enjoy this game's bosses. Good sound effects, fun things to dodge. The Joka boss fight is one of my favorite boss fights ever.

Also fantastic music, that's a big trend with all the games high on this list though.

BEST LEVEL: 5-1, the gateway to the Sun kingdom (see screenshot). It's a weird non-linear mildly puzzley level, where you have to pay attention to the signage to figure out where you're going.
