* LuckBasedMission: Getting all the crystal pieces to unlock Knack's other forms can take a long time because of this. For starters, getting any of the alternate forms on your first playthrough is simply impossible, as the treasure chests will contain only gadget parts. Only once you fully collected all the gadgets will you be able to regularly get crystal pieces from those chests, which usually will start happening only from second playthrough onwards. And while each form requires you to collect certain amount of crystal pieces, just because you've already unlocked said form doesn't mean you '[=won't=]' get the pieces required for that form; in other words, redundant crystal pieces. And different pieces have different rarities; Expect to have a bajillion of ruby crystals by the time you manage to unlock Diamond Knack.

It stars a small, mysterious creature named Knack, who was created by a doctor from ancient relics as a way to fight against Gundahar and his goblin army. Knack can bind even more relics that he finds to transform into a much bigger, more powerful creature. Knack can even incorporate different elemental powers such as metal and ice later on, yielding different abilities.
