Despite being a handheld spin-off, Klonoa Heroes can still get pretty emotional at times.
- The scene after Janga poisons Klonoa can actually get pretty heartrending when one thinks about it, as he's poisoned in front of Guntz (who already had to watch his father die from it), and Pango (who now has to watch someone else close to him fall into a coma, the first being his son). No wonder they set aside stopping Garlen to ensure that Klonoa survives.
- Then there's the Nightmare Sequence Klonoa has while under the poison's effects. It begins, as he describes through narration, with him falling through a dark void while hearing a voice call to him, unsure if its coming closer or fading further away. Eventually, he finds himself back in his hometown of Breezegale on a relaxing fishing trip with his friends, before being asked why he's so obsessed with being a hero. A mysterious voice, the voice of Nahatomb, suggests answers to him - the same answers he gave the High Priestess upon receiving his hero medal - but he chillingly realizes that none of them apply to him, and he never really formed his own honest answer. Cue Heroic BSoD as his friends continue to ask him that question and/or accuse him of only pretending to be a hero. It's only after some outside encouragement from Guntz and Pango that he's able to confidently find his own reason for being a hero, and wake up from his coma in the process.
