Lol yay new friend
ANYWAY,its a very interesting game and known to have one of the most shocking endings for its time [and to this day] though he does resemble sonic his game has nothing to do with his.
As much as I would like to explain more it is truly an experience you have to try for your self {is sound like a car sales man...} they just made a remake of the first game for the wii. The original was called Klonoa door to phantomile and the wii version is called...well its called KLONOA lol
there are many more of his games out there but start with KLONOA if you want to try a new game.
