Klonoa 2: Dream Champ Tournament

Klonoa 2: Dream Champ Tournament takes place sometime after the events of Klonoa: Empire of Dreams and Klonoa 2: Lunatea's Veil. The game begins shortly after Klonoa defeats the King of Despair, and receives an invitation letter that floats from the sky telling him that he has been selected to compete in the prestigious "Dream Champ Tournament" among other accomplished adventurers for the title of "Greatest Hero" as well as a cash reward.

After Klonoa finishes reading, he is enveloped in a bright light and finds himself transported inside a gigantic arena alongside several other adventurers. He meets up with his old friends Chipple, Lolo, and Popka, only to learn that they are taking part in the competition as well, and a pompous rogue named Guntz who brushes him off immediately. The master of ceremonies, and sponsor of the tournament itself, Garlen, makes his appearance and informs everyone that they will be paired off in a single-elimination tournament that has them racing across several worlds of his own choosing. The first one to reach the end will be the winner and will advance to the next round.

Klonoa makes in the tournament and faces Joka in his match. Despite Joka's attempted foul play, Klonoa defeats him and advances to the second round while Joka is eliminated. After several matches, Klonoa faces Suiryu who warns him that he will find out Garlen's true colors should he win. At the end, Klonoa defeats Suiryu and witnesses him get turned into a gear, as Garlen admits to changing people into gears to function his fortress. Klonoa is disgusted as his friend Chipple meets this faith and he is not moved by Garlen's words on not turning the winner into a gear and still giving the cash prize. Guntz appears pleased with this, as Klonoa becomes worried on what became of his friend Lolo.

Garlen then broadcasts Lolo as a hostage on the monitor, revealing she is next to turn into a gear after being defeated. Klonoa is angry especially when Guntz mocks Lolo's situation and is revealed to have injured Popka in the match. Klonoa declares that he won't lose to an amused Guntz once Garlen promises to release Lolo. Klonoa faces Guntz and after struggling in their match, emerges victorious over the bounty hunter who is then captured to be made into a gear as Garlen betrays his promise and decides to make Klonoa into his main gear since his talent is incredible. However, Guntz interjects and frees Klonoa who faces against Garlen's giant robot to finish him off. Klonoa overcomes Garlen and destroys the machine, while also liberating Lolo.

Garlen's defeat causes his fortress to be destroyed and turned his captives back to normal. Suiryu then arrests Garlen and it is revealed that he infiltrated the tournament to learn Garlen's plot. Guntz then makes off with Garlen's fortune while giving Klonoa the trophy, effectively bestowing upon him the title of champion of the tournament. Everyone celebrates Klonoa's recognition and victory that saved them all.
