Klonoa’s first adventure takes place in the dream world of Phantomile where he lives with his grandfather and spends his time playing with a Ring Spirit named Huepow. His platforming adventures were meant to resonate with kids and adults alike, but he never seemed to catch fire the way other mammalian mascots like Sonic the Hedgehog did, and based on Klonoa: Door to Phantomile at least, it wasn’t the game’s fault for his low popularity. However, Namco decided to take a crack at creating a new mascot to join him back during the fifth generation of console gaming, and that’s how Klonoa was born, a strange mix between a rabbit and a cat dressed like a kid but with a hat paying homage to Pac-Man. While Namco probably couldn’t ask for a better mascot than Pac-Man when it comes to recognizability, he’s more of a character who represents their history rather than one capable of carrying things forward with personality and flexibility.
