It's two of the best side-scrollers ever made compiled into a neat little package. There are things that it could've done better for sure, but at its core, it's still the 2 mainline Klonoa games that people love. Even with the Wii version being used as a base for the first game, one could argue that it's better for newcomers than the PS1 version.

Special shout-out to Lunatea's Veil, which already takes what made the first game work gameplay and story-wise and builds upon it greatly, for being one big journey for Klonoa healing through his own trauma from Door to Phantomile.
