I've been playing NiGHTS a LOT recently, especially since I've caught wind of NiGHTS: Journey of Dreams. So, as a result, I've notice QUITE a few things.

1. If you leave NiGHTS alone, sometimes he'll start to move his arms and legs in a wierd motion, almost like he's swimming. I'm not exactly sure how this works, but I only got it to work if I landed NiGHTS near the edge of something.

2. Sometimes, if you start to draw a Para-Loop around a Pian, they'll get scared and run out of the circle.

3. If you enter the Ideya Palace while the camera is on the Stage-Three taking the Ideya away, then NiGHTS looks like he's driving a car. Additionally, if you do this then hold A down while the camera is still on the Nightmaren, when you see NiGHTS, his feet are gone and his hat/horns are much longer, and he goes much faster, just as if he was doing a drill dash, but he is still in a sitting position with his arms held forward. ^^

Just some little morsels of juicy info.

1) If you inch toward the Ideya Palace and let NiGHTS get close enough to reach his hand out to you, if you jump backwarsds, sometimes he slams his head into the force field and kicks around holding his head in pain.

2) And sometimes if you're just running around as Claris or Elliot exploring the world and then go back to NiGHTS, he'll be floating in a laying position, resting on his hand lookin' lazy and he will NOT come out. So if you think NiGHTS will save you from that Egg Timer, think again!

:blink: I forgot about NiGHTS' anger at Claris and Elliot. Then he gets you back by not saving you from the clock.
Classic.

1)If you grab a enemy and while looping around them hold the dash button and you will be dashing but without spinning around
2)In Soft museum, in the part with all the mirrors, if you find a bit with Claris where she stops but keeps running, she speeds up insanely, then if you run around she runs very fast...crazy really.

How weird. Now I'ma have to pull out my game and try these all out. XD lol I already knew about this one:

3. If you enter the Ideya Palace while the camera is on the Stage-Three taking the Ideya away, then NiGHTS looks like he's driving a car.



But I haven't heard about the others. Thanks for posting them.~ ^-^

BAH, you beat me to the punch, Purg! This was something I had listed in a similar thread at the old forums, and when I saw this thread I was going to post it here. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! </Vader>

Actually I had a couple others that I listed with this way back in my original post, but as it's late and my belly hurts, my brainmeats are a little fried. x_x I'll remember and post them tomorrow.

I've got a couple new ones.

In Splash Garden, if you kill all the Pians, the music is more cheerful than the normal. :D

NiGHTS has no period of invincibility after being hit. While fighting Clawz, I got hit three times in a row.

*I was down to two mouse rockets; he was jumping between them and hitting me; so 1. he hit me 2. a rocket hit me 3. he hit me again*

If you kill a mepian than that is a good thing and the music will get better, because mepians are not considered Nightopians. That and if a pian becomes a full mepian, (pretty much a nightmaren) it will start eating the nightopians. Even if the mepian only had one maren part. It is still a mepian. Are you sure that is not what happend.

I am sorry you got hit so many times. That stinks.

You misunderstand. I started a new game, and on each level I wiped out all the Pians (meaning they didn't have time to make Mepians). So, NiGHTS must sing his own happy tune to all the pianslaughter.

:D IN THE NIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGHTS!
PIANS DIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIE!

NiGHTS hitting his head... I abuse that. XD I find it ridiculously amusing and cute. I have to see him being lazy, though... And flee from that bloody timer as fast as I can. XD And I've not yet tried to wipe out all the Maren in the levels. o.o I should do that.

This doesn't have to do with gameplay, but when you're listening to the menu music, if you listen carefully to all the kids laughing and talking, you hear a part from the movie Home Alone. You hear the part when kevin is searching his house and goes "Hello? HelloOOOooo...."

That always makes me laugh. :P

As for lazy NiGHTS, I have to try that again, because I don't know exactly what element causes it. I think its that if you can manage to get enough to destroy an Ideya capture on your own, you have to do it like that. Its happened to me a few times, but I'm thinking thats the one thing most of the times had in common, that I ended up having to leap into the captures and then go to NiGHTS for the next one.

He looks like this:

Just floating in that position. XD And he doesn't come out.

I think that happens if you run out of time and try to go back into the Ideya Palace without the Ideya.

Another thing I noticed, when REALA is sat on his throne and when he dies, you can still push him, you can ear the sound of the collision. When he's sat, if you push him slowly you can freeze the game!
I made a video with an empty throne and a NiGHTS in background alone...., funny! I'll upgrade it in Youtube later maybe ^^
EDIT: The video is in the next page of this topic

You also get 80 points for each one and you dont lose the m4 star bonus, so the game pretty much encourages you to kill them...

I would really like to see that. I am still confused at what you are saying though. How can you push him while he is on the throne? I don't even think you can get there? Or did I misunderstand what you said?

if you spin dash across the screen (it's tricky ^^ you have to be horizontal to him) you'll hit him XD I caught him once my accident while he was in mid-sentence and he made his "ugh" sound while flailing his arms and legs around like I hit him normally XD

much "lol-ing" ensued XD

That is funny. Reala's pride would have gone down several notches then. lol

I also took some screen shots of when I saw NiGHTS in the replay of the level. I think most have noticed that the replay is not complely accurate. But I remember some shots I took that showed that the look of NiGHTS had gliches too. Nothing much but eh....

He looks like a goat...

I know. Great picture isn't it? Don't worry I think it will go back on. Maybe that black we see is a magnitized force that keeps NiGHTS head in place. lol

No SiLK. Not your fic. Its great, nothing brings it down a notch. ;)

Yes headless NiGHTS is freaky. But hey that sloves another mystery. Either NiGHTS is an endless void when naked...or the "clothing" is his body. ^_^

Oh and jossie, I think you are on to something there. There is actually some logic for NiGHTS getting stuck to magnets!

I just noticed this while having a look over Malan's site, NiGHTS into Dreams France

In this picture of Reala's boss area :

What happened to the texture on the floor, the usual chequered texture ? Its been replaced by Reala's symbol.
Is this like this in anyones version of the game ? Or is it possibly due to Malan taking the screen of some sort of emulator ?

I doubt it. I have seen all of Malan's screenshots and I always thought they were from emulators.

Not sure if this would gualify as being weird, but here goes.

I was playing Christmas NiGHTS earlier and I had fooled around the clock so I can play as Reala, but the next thing that happened made me trip. I went to go play the Christmas part, and sure enough, Reala was still there. Has anyone else notice this?

I like Reala's symbol being on his throne room floor. Why would emulators change the original though? Do they bring out glitches that are already in the game itself? *clueless about emulators* >.< Sorry for the dumb question. lol

Once you've played as Reala you're able to play as him any time by going into the Presents menu... maybe you turned that mode on while at Christmas?

Yes yes, this pic is from SSF emulator, actually, this texture is just under the one we know for some reason... and it disappears sometimes in the emulator. Same thing in Jackle's realm.

Oh I see. Kinda like how Action Replay will make things dissapear for now reason. Guess this is what happens when you mess with the orginal games.
