>>314806087Only thing objectively worse than the original is the decrease in difficulty, which was really uncalled for. Everything else's better. Wouldn't really call it "mediocre", although its reception sure was.
>>314806319There's only a rather simple beach volleyball game. It's cute and it's got some good music, but there's no need to force yourself through it if it's not your thing- the Klonoa concept of "canon" pretty much means you can just ignore what games you don't like, it's all dreams anyway.
Personally I found Heroes (the RPG one) godawful, but hey, emulating is free, so no reason not to give that a try too.
