Air Board (Klonoa)



Air Board is a current item that was introduced in Klonoa 2: Lunatea's Veil (PS2 and Phantasy Reverie Series version), Klonoa: Empire of Dreams and Klonoa: Dream Champ Tournament (GBA and WiiU VC), the afromentioned games have a few visions which require the character to use it.

It first appears in Joilant's Jungle Slider vision as a rental board, but Popka thought that some circumstances would happen so he decided to take the board with him just in case.

Why It Begins Stepping Wind

 * 1) It introduces a nice change of pacing in the games.
 * 2) The board allows Klonoa to progress throught places covered with water, snow, sand and even more.
 * 3) None of his moves are limited, it's still possible to jump, flap ears, grab and throw enemies like usual.
 * 4) Klonoa get his own different taunts with the Air Board.
 * 5) LV features 3 boss figths segments with it, and due to certain events the first one has an exclusive way to hit the boss before using the Wind Ring.
 * 6) While not as memorable as it's first introduction, the GBA Duology does feature some good use of it, with 2D visions for EoD and impressive 3D visions for DCT.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) Even if Popka had reasons for doing such act, it doesn't change the fact that the Air Board was stolen.
 * 2) Going for every Dream Stone (quantity vary for each game) can be really annoying as there's pretty much no room for error.
 * 3) * Aside from having less to collect in comparision to LV, GBA duology might be even worst as there's no checkpoints in those visions making the player start from the beggining, and in DCT the perspective can sometimes make the player miss one or more of them.

Trivia

 * Moos can be seen riding on their own air boards in the games.
 * The Air Board visions in the GBA games are optional.
