Remake (Remaster?) of both Klonoa 1 and Klonoa 2, I have never played Klonoa 2.
Both games are great to play and finish, but can be a nightmare to 100%.

That being said, Klonoa 1 is still a classic even in this remake, the control feels a bit stiff and unresponsive from what I remember, but it only matters if you're trying to 100% the game.

Klonoa 2 expands a lot from the prequel, with a lot more level and more cutscenes. The levels are longer, but sometimes are TOO LONG. Gameplay stays mostly the same with some new enemy that gives new feature, but the control feel a lot more slippery than the first, I actually fell a few times trying to stop at the edge of a platform.

Now the problem with 100% it is the Dream Stones, you need to collect 150 or more in one stage, and some of them need a really specific timing and input to get. Or if it's an auto-scroller section, you just have to die and restart to get back to the stone you missed.
Thankfully if you're just aiming for Platinum, all you need to care is the villagers (Klonoa 1) and dolls (Klonoa 2), which isn't hard to collect but can be hidden quite well.
