Klonoa Empire of Dreams stars in his first adventure for the Game Boy Advance. An emperor who cannot sleep who has banned dreaming, and Klonoa has been imprisoned for breaking the law. Klonoa must go on another adventure to save the empire and allow the residents to dream once again.
Klonoa: Empire of Dreams is a lot more puzzle-focused than the PlayStation versions of the game. Most of the game is very slow paced, so that players can take their time and carefully think about their next move. You still use the same mechanic of inflating your enemies and using them to either double jump or throw them at other enemies, but the action now takes place on a fixed 2D area.
Players can also aim to collect all the Dream Stones within the levels, which will unlock secret bonuses. Auto-scrolling surfing levels break up the puzzle-level action, and are much more hectic.

In this adventure, Klonoa and Huepow find themselves arrested in a strange land where Emperor Jillius has banned dreaming to cure his own insomnia. To escape execution, Klonoa must embark on a quest to defeat four monsters ravaging the empire, proving that the "crime" of dreaming is worth fighting for.
Story
WHEN DREAMS BECOME NIGHTMARES
Where did I come from? Where the blue winds blow... Where am I going? Where the white clouds flow... So if I dream, I'm sure to wake...
Klonoa and his best friend Huepow are always dreaming about adventure. But they never expected their daydreams to lead them astray in a strange land. Now they've been brought before the Emperor, and it's beginning to sound like they're in big trouble!
The Emperor is afflicted with an illness that prevents him from sleeping. He's unreasonably forbidden his subjects to dream, since he himself is denied that pleasure. To Klonoa's surprise, he discovers he's been arrested for the crime of dreaming!
"Why is it so wrong to dream?" he asks. Minister Bagoon is horrified. No one talks that way to Emperor Jillius!
For Klonoa's impudence, and for the "crime" of dreaming, Minister Bagoon prepares to lead the boy away to be executed. But the Emperor sees an opportunity to solve his own problem.
He agrees to release Klonoa on one condition. If Klonoa can defeat the four monsters that are ravaging the Empire, then his execution will be canceled. But only if...
Klonoa and Huepow are released to begin their quest.
"Looks like we're in trouble now," Huepow says.
"Where IS this place?" wonders Klonoa.
"Let's take a look around. Maybe we'll find a clue."
"You're right. Let's go!"
If only Klonoa and Huepow knew what dangers lay ahead...

How to Play
PLAYING THROUGH THE GAME
The Empire of Dreams has 5 Worlds, and each World has 8 Visions. Klooanoo must use various skills to clear each Vision.
WORLD MAP
Start here by selecting the World you want to play in. You can select any World that has already been cleared. In New Games, only the first World is available. Other Worlds open up as you clear previous Worlds.
You clear a World by defeating its Boss. Even if all the Visions in that World have not been cleared, you can progress to the next World once you've overcome the Boss. You can return to the World as many times as you want in order to clear all the Visions.
VISION SELECT
Before each Vision, a Mission Screen tells you what you must accomplish. As you clear each Vision, more Visions open up for you to try. You can replay cleared Visions without limit.
•
OK, let's begin.
•
Collect all the ✿ and head towards the exit.
•
Stand before a sign and press ▲ on the Control Pad.
PUZZLE STAGES
The goal for Puzzle Stages is to clear different challenging puzzles using items found in the Stage. For each Stage, you must collect 3 Stars to open the Moon Door.
ACTION STAGES
Test Klonoa's powers in two types of Action Stages. In Hover Board Stages, you'll glide on a self-propelled hover board. In Athletic Challenge Stages, you make progress by overcoming obstacles. Clear both types of Stages by reaching the goal.
BOSS STAGES
These Stages consist solely of battling the Boss characters. Shoot at a Boss's weak point with enemies you capture. Clear these Stages by draining the Boss' Life Meter at the top of the screen.
•
Keep an eye on Klonoa's Life Meter.
•
If it drains first, you'll have to try again.
PAUSE MENU
Press START during the game to pause and display the Pause Menu. Select a menu item with the + Control Pad and press the A Button to confirm your selection.
•
CONTINUE GAME - Resume the game. (You can also press START or the B Button to resume.)
•
RETRY - Restart the game from the beginning of the area you are currently playing.
•
SELECT VISION - Return to the Vision Select Screen.
•
BUTTON CONFIGURATION - Reassign the button controls by pressing the + Control Pad ◄ or ► to choose Type 1 or Type 2. Press the A Button to confirm your choice.
CONTINUE SCREEN
The Continue Screen appears when Klonoa loses all of his Remaining Lives.
•
Highlight CONTINUE and press START or the A Button to continue the game from the beginning of the Vision.
•
Select QUIT to end the game.
WHAT IF YOU CAN'T PROCEED?
Sometimes a mistake you make in solving a puzzle will prevent you from going any farther. If that occurs, select RETRY in the Pause Menu. Retrying does not reduce the number of Remaining Lives you have.
Tips & Maps
CAPTURING ENEMIES
Capture an enemy by firing a wind bullet at it, then throw the captured enemy to explode it against walls or other enemies. This technique can also be used to move objects.
DOUBLE JUMP
Use a captured enemy as a trampoline to jump twice as high by pressing the A Button in midair, allowing you to attack other enemies or continue jumping.
Items & Weapons
BOXES
Boxes can be thrown, but they do not explode like enemies do. You can also use them as stepping stones.
BOMB BOXES
Boomies can trigger Bomb Boxes, which explode in the direction of the arrow. Bomb Boxes can also be lined up as stepping stones.
MAGNET BLOCKS
Throw Magnet Blocks against walls with matching patterns, and they will magnetically stick together. Magnet Blocks also have a use as stepping stones.
WATERFALLS
Since Klonoa can't swim, waterfalls could be insurmountable barriers. Figure out how to stop them using enemies and Boxes.
SWITCHES
Hit them with wind bullets or enemies to activate them. Then watch what happens!
PRESSURE SWITCHES
To activate these special switches, stand on them or place an object on top of them.
GOOMI
Hit Goomis with a wind bullet to hang from them. Some Goomis are mobile.
ARROW PANELS
Bounce an object or enemy off an Arrow Panel, and the projectile will go flying in the arrow's direction. Use a wind bullet to change the direction of blue arrows.
SPRINGS
Press the A Button as you step on a Spring for a high jump. Timing is everything.
SCALES
Stand on one side of a scale to raise the other side. Use them as stepping stones.
FOUNTAIN Footholds
These bubbling geysers rise and fall with water power. Time your jumps to hop across them.
DOORS
Only the correct number of Stars can open Moon Doors. Key Doors can only be opened with Keys having matching symbols.
STARS
With three of these in hand, you can open a Moon Door. They are key items in the Puzzle Stages.
KEYS
They open Key Doors. Be sure to pair each door with its corresponding Key by matching up the symbols.
DREAM STONES (small)
Collect all of these small stones for a special surprise.
DREAM STONES (large)
Each one of these big stones is worth 5 Dream Stones.
