History NightmareFuel / Klonoa

* The main characters' "poisoned" status images. Not the one used for Klonoa during ''that'' cutscene (that one was surprisingly tame), but the ones used for gameplay. The characters being depicted in that state, with purple faces and looking like they're having trouble breathing, comes off as rather unsettling. Heck, Pango's image has him with his eyes crossed and his tongue out, and Klonoa's image has him ''clutching his throat and reaching out to the camera''!

* Cursed Leorina. Just the way she transformed into a freakish monstrosity and her cry is spine chilling.

* ''Volkan Inferno''. The civil war has caused the city's factory reactors to overload, and the sky has become a deep red. Worse still, the boss of Volk City, the Mobile Tank Biskarsh, [[AdvancingBossOfDoom returns from its initial defeat to pursue Klonoa throughout the ruined city.]] The machine is invincible until the very end, where it is ultimately hit by an oncoming train. Until then, the player will have to endure the frantic chase and hellish landscape.

** After the second phase, there are some details implying that Nahatomb's stomach ''exploded'' from the inside. Nahatomb's ribcage is exposed, and its bottom is almost completely obliterated, leaving behind only a frayed hole and the tail's bone structure. It all comes together to form the most violent sight in the series, almost discordantly so.

** There's a detail lost in the remake: the exposed bones during Nahatomb's third phase are due to its stomach rupturing after the second phase. A good look at Nahatomb's rear demonstrates that there's almost ''nothing'' left, just the tail's bone structure within a gaping hole with frayed skin on its edges.

This detail explains why the beast starts inhaling the surrounding platforms: [[FridgeHorror it no longer has any stomach to speak of, but it's desperately stuffing its face regardless to stay alive]].

* When the heroes meet the King of Sorrow, there's one point where the camera gradually cuts closer to the king's face. Not just his face, either -- his ''eyes''. Eyes that have been crying for an untold amount of time and have become [[RedEyesTakeWarning blood-red]]. They're complemented by his pinprick irises that are just barely visible among the redness. Evidently, the poor guy's gone mad from his depression, and he looks about ready to lash out against whoever draws near.

** His loud, baritone voice in the original is ''downright terrifying.'' It definitely renders him one of the most intimidating villains in the series.

* When the heroes meet the King of Sorrow, there's something eerie about how the King looks like a Lunatean' take on Klonoa himself. As the player gets over the initial shock, there's one point where the camera gradually cuts closer to the king's face. Not just his face, either -- his ''[[RedEyesTakeWarning eyes]]''. Eyes that have been crying for an untold amount of time and have become blood red. They're complemented by his pinprick irises that are barely visible. Evidently, the poor guy's gone mad from his depression, and he looks about ready to displace his anger onto whoever draws near.

** Even if you don't like Joka, his death is still very intense and disturbing. After defeating him in his boss battle, he gives an uncharacteristically [[DissonantSerenity calm]] speech about how the world will sink into darkness. He then dies in a fiery explosion, ''[[SuddenlyShouting screaming in agony'', calling Ghadius' name.]] And thanks to his FrozenFace, ''[[StepfordSmiler he's still smiling]]'' while this happens! Despite his crossing the MoralEventHorizon earlier, it's easy to feel sorry for him in this scene. It's even worse in the original version, where - instead of the screen fading to white as he explodes, it actually shows him falling over dead, with that horrid smile still on his face!
