History AwesomeMusic / Klonoa

* "Sign of Hero", [[DoItYourselfThemeTune performed by Klonoa's voice actress]] Creator/KumikoWatanabe, is a very rousing and heroic theme song for game. A [[https://youtu.be/72Hq72TE2G4 full quality version]] of the song was released much later as part of the soundtrack on [=iTunes=]. Equally awesome are [[https://youtu.be/JzaLIxhvrEc Sign of Hero -inst-]] and the [[https://youtu.be/pwkQgdFlyxM OST version]], with the rousing beat being amazing in chiptune for the latter.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WipWFSONDw4 The Windmill Song]] sounds as great in a handheld console.

* It's not an exaggeration to say that the [[TrueFinalBoss real]] final battle has one of the most epic [=BGMs=] to have ever graced the UsefulNotes/GameBoyAdvance. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BwuFq5YkLfA Have a listen]].

!!'''Klonoa: Empire of Dreams'''

[[AC:Empire of Dreams]]

[[AC:Door to Phantomile & the Wiimake]]
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FHgf_hfJdIQ The Inquisitive Waltz]] sounds just like something out of a real circus, and earns the title of "Awesome Music" simply because of how bright and joyful it is.
* The jaunty, catchy [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OyjS1BznMso Windmill Song]] captures Klonoa's childish innocence at the start of the adventure, while also establishing his perennial association with pan flutes.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dgvGfKx_rzo Grandpa's Chair]] is a beautiful NostalgicMusicBox tune with a melody similar to the old song "My Grandfather's Clock".
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=18s9h18_0fw Jugpot Falls.]] The sweeping strings create a lush atmosphere for the Water Kingdom!
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VkXDgrv1X3g Cursed Pamela]] utilizes elegant, watery synths and intense piano hits to create a distressing piece for the titular boss, who, unlike Rongo Lango beforehand, is an ally-turned-foe.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2xNskY6eE8w Joker Mood]] is Joka's catchy {{leitmotif}}, which makes excellent use of FreakyElectronicMusic!
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0VlheetltCs Forlock Twist]] is a rich tune with many sounds and instruments.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tNTocPyV6Vw Blue Cave Echo]] is fast and frantic, but still beautiful.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QhsZLk2ctTU Baladium's Drive]] is quite possibly one of the best boss themes ''ever''. It's not just epic and fast-paced, it's beautiful and majestic, absolutely fitting for the closest thing this game has to a dragon.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Jw2cia6hko Red Heat Coronia.]] With its catchy rhythm!
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vDZ2x2SmC0E Nevertheless]] is a powerful, hymn-like tune that is absolutely fitting for the Sun Temple.
* By the time you fight him, Joka wants you ''dead'', and it shows in his boss themes. Presenting: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aL1-8lapTjI Facade & Blade]]. "Facade" is an uncharacteristically focused dark circus music piece for the character, and "Blade" takes its predecessor and gives it a nightmarish choir and instrumentation.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S1XwmILHOYk Untamed Heart]] cements the game's tonal shift with its quiet, introspective melodies. Many regard it as one of the most beautiful songs in the soundtrack.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v64adqW049w The Closing Encounter]] is perfect for the final level. The rapid bass notes and "thud" sounds create a tense mood, while the beautiful, sparkling melody is a constant reminder that you're at the ''gorgeously'' designed Moon Kingdom.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=unWPmYZScx0 The Ring]] highlights Nahatomb's final phase, taking "The Instrumentality's" melody and making it much more frantic to match the monster's desperation.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l2lj4vmBEaM Resurrection]] is an absolutely heartwrenching capstone for Klonoa's first adventure. The soft singing, piano keys, and violins do an excellent job representing the devastation Klonoa feels upon learning his life was a lie.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GQKtcJpl65s Staff Roll]] is such a simple, yet emotional piece. And the game's BittersweetEnding makes it ''even more'' of a TearJerker.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T1_Eyx6DdRQ The Tower of Balue]] is a catchy, extended take on Balue's theme. It's quite an uplifting tune for the game's BrutalBonusLevel, as if it is cordially inviting players to keep trying their best to complete the challenge.
* The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FFXG0BRgOhY original]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EB0zxdePcr4 Japanese commercials]] for ''Door to Phantomile'' has a short yet catchy jingle, perfectly capturing the game's adventurous and whimsical tone. The song was even brought back in advertisements for ''Phantasy Reverie Series'' [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zCnxnsagRdk with newer lyrics.]]

[[AC:Lunatea's Veil]]
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u-1YWxsx_fQ Welcome To Lunatea]] is a SpiritualSuccessor of sorts to the Inquisitive Waltz from the first game, being a happy circus tune that sets the tone for the game. It's quite possibly even ''happier'' than the Inquisitive Waltz.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SxqEILN0QtA Lolo's Character Theme]] is bubbly, upbeat, and just as adorable as sweet as Klonoa. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4LkUyb430Mw&t=6s Especially the second variation]], where her theme is extended a bit.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9HSIg9L3J-U Going to Lunatea.]] Nothing's better to start an adventure.
* The World Map theme, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fJT83IER46Y "Lunatea Waltz",]] is a slower-paced and calming version of "Going to Lunatea". The music gives an old time carnival feeling and atmosphere.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E0-_U7OoxSM&t=75s Path of Goddess Claire]] is an incredibly calming and atmospheric tune that fits the level really well. And that's only half of the theme. In-game, it's a VariableMix between that and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KFLrZ56O21w Cave of Glimmer Moss]], which goes with it beautifully.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZhEC__jMkSs High Priestess]], a slower variation of Path of Goddesss Claire and character theme to the High Priestess, is calming and honorable, which is appropriate as Lolo fully becomes a Priestess. It's played on an unusual string sound that gives it an exotic and mysterious, yet calming mood.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yUocUbZD71w Joilant.]] Anyone who loves the circus will feel very nostalgic listening to this.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3xS21dl31J4 Jungle Cruise]] and its [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GRopvwhGiqM remix]] are fast-paced and fun songs for your first slide level, packing in a beautiful flute solo.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xZG7Ea6Fbik Stepping Wind]] is one of the best fictional-language songs ever. It is interesting to note that an English translation of this theme exists!
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5incuMfdjSY Maze of Memories/Moonlight Museum.]] Originating from ''Klonoa: Moonlight Museum'', this version of the song gives the level a mysterious but lonely atmosphere.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oHe1fCSHwq8&t=40s Thank You, Popka]] is heard as Popka snaps Lolo out of her depression and encourages her to help Klonoa. This version of Lolo's Theme starts out sad, but builds up to be more optimistic, reflecting Lolo's attitude getting better alongside reflecting Popka's [[UndyingLoyalty loyalty and friendship with her.]]
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jebe-cLBWw8 The Sorrow Revives.]] You know that the world is in danger.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wc63hBTWvnM Hyuponia]], the theme of the first level of Kingdom of Sorrow, is an eight minute masterpiece that takes numerous tracks from both this game and ''Door to Phantomile'' and distorts and mixes them into a mysterious, beautiful and melancholy piece that is both fitting for the ruined kingdom's sad and lonely atmosphere and for the last regular platforming level in the game.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rI6E1eQcYbk The King of Sorrow]]'s theme, another absolutely beautiful song. It perfectly captures how tragic the character is. Its [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=158u0MMUMHw Battle version]] is even more awesome.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QhyOwJO13N8 Ark Ver. 2]] is an exciting theme that hits the ground running for one of the most action-packed levels in the game.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e9CUMyiBqd4 Mirage]] is a ridiculously intense and badass theme befitting your final slide level, with one of the most epic pan-flute solos in any track ''ever''.
* "[[https://youtu.be/3gT08FgSawA Leorina's Theme]]," Leorina's normal {{Leitmotif}}, is a short and simple, yet very effective tune played on a harpsichord. It has a sonata-like melody that gives it an elegant mood, though the fact that it's in a minor key also makes it very sinister. There's also the simply named "[[https://youtu.be/ddeCiMOkN10 Leorina]]," an expanded version of the song that plays during Leorina's more villainous moments. It makes the tune longer and more varied, and it also adds a choir and other instruments to make it stand out.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Ot7swnht1s Cursed Leorina]] is one of the most epic boss themes ever.
* The [[BigBoosHaunt haunted house]] gets some ''deliciously'' creepy [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D-uBtpi6bUE music]]. There's also [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LWqEFep7OB0 Make Believe]] in the same mood.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qaBVsUBw7v4 Farewell Again]] makes for a perfect [[BittersweetEnding bittersweet]] TearJerker as Lolo says goodbye to Klonoa.
* The end credits theme, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HSa4GgOOVVk&t=118s Traveler,]] is a complete contrast to the credits to ''Door to Phantomile''. The song is a remixed version of "Going to Lunatea" which is more upbeat, peaceful, and emphasises the "Sweet" in bittersweet over the "Bitter" in the first game. This is accompanied by showing the citizens of Lunatea after Klonoa left getting along with each other.

[[AC:Moonlight Museum]]
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZdA7tQ8Jpzw World Intro]] is equal parts mysterious and catchy.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-4FWsh4BTbQ World 1]] combines upbeat 8-bit music with the magical, awe-inspiring music the series is known for.

[[AC:Legendary Star Medal]]
* "Sign of Hero", [[DoItYourselfThemeTune performed by Klonoa's voice actress]] Creator/KumikoWatanabe, is a very rousing and heroic theme song for game. A [[https://youtu.be/72Hq72TE2G4 full quality version]] of the song was released much later as part of the soundtrack on [=iTunes=]. Equally awesome are [[https://youtu.be/JzaLIxhvrEc Sign of Hero -inst-]] and the [[https://youtu.be/pwkQgdFlyxM OST version]], with the rousing beat being amazing in chiptune for the latter.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WipWFSONDw4 The Windmill Song]] sounds as great in a handheld console.

* The World Map theme titled [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fJT83IER46Y "Lunatea Waltz"]] is a slower-paced and calming version of "Going to Lunatea". The music gives an old time carnival feeling and atmosphere.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hQ-xfZruxOs Path of Goddess Claire]] is an incredibly calming and atmospheric tune that fits the level really well. And that's only half of the theme. In-game, it's a VariableMix between that and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KFLrZ56O21w Cave of Glimmer Moss]], which goes with it beautifully.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZhEC__jMkSs High Priestess]], a slower variation of Path of Goddesss Claire and character theme to the High Priestess, is calming and honorable, which is appropriate as Lolo fully becomes a Priestess.

* The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X2XoQbHdINg opening theme]] is overall amazing, but the part that ''really'' stands out (at 0:53 in the linked video) is the pipe organ music that plays when Klonoa is brought before Emperor Jillius. It's somewhere between OminousPipeOrgan and regal-sounding.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qaBVsUBw7v4 "Farewell Again"]] makes for a perfect [[BittersweetEnding bittersweet]] TearJerker as Lolo says goodbye to Klonoa.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZhEC__jMkSs High Priestess]]. A slower variation of Path of Goddesss Claire and character theme to the High Priestess. Calming and honorable which is appropriate as Lolo fully becomes a Priestess
