NiGHTS: Journey of Dreams is a platform game for the Wii console developed by Sonic Team and Sega. It is the sequel to the 1996 Sega Saturn title Nights into Dreams.... and is the fourth and last game developed by Sega Studio USA. Like the original, the game is set in the dream world of Nightopia, which is under threat from nightmare beings called Nightmaren, and the gameplay is based around the flight of a jester-like rebel Nightmaren named Nights.

Much like in the first game, the primary gameplay mechanic is to glide, spiral and loop through a variety of worlds, blasting through rings and gathering orbs. Special power ups can transform Nights' form into a dolphin, a dragon, or a rocket, to reach areas not accessible otherwise. There are also platform stages where the player controls one of the children. There is a variety of gameplay styles, and Nights is not playable in every level.

Problems

Missing Characters

Enhancements

Bloom

This title has minor but noticeable bloom issues at resolutions higher than 1x.

As of 5.0-16786, you may use Graphics Mods to remove the bloom altogether or make it be less noticeable by rendering the bloom at native resolution.

Author note:

This one is playable start to finish, although there is one small problem. On Will's final stage, there is a scene that requires switching back to 30fps or the game will get stuck. Helen's version of the same stage doesn't have this problem at that scene.
