==
The story begins with the legend of the land of Phantomile, a mysterious place that is fueled by the very dreams people have at night. As a result, no one can clearly remember the dreams they have had, even if they occurred recently. However, a young [[cat]]-like boy named Klonoa who lives in the town of Galebreeze with his grandfather has been having dreams about a mysterious dark airship crashing into a nearby mountain, and can recall every detail of it.
One day, a mysterious ship does indeed crash into the mountain, and Klonoa and his friend, a "ring spirit" named Huepow, decide to investigate. After fighting several small, round creatures called Moos, they reach the top of the mountain, only to find two mysterious men. They learn that the leader's name is Ghadius, and his accomplice is a short sinister-looking [[clown]] called Joka, and together they are searching for a pendant that holds certain magical properties. They kidnap a woman named Lephise, and after returning to their village, Klonoa and Huepow decide to chase after them.
== Gameplay ==
[[Image:Klonoa Door to Phantomile Screen01.jpg|thumb|right|A scene from ''Klonoa: Door to Phantomile''.]]
''Klonoa: Door to Phantomile'' combines standard [[sidescroller]] elements with unique gameplay enhancements for the time it was initially released. The rendered, three-dimensional backgrounds could not be walked into, and Klonoa is restricted to moving only left or right in the foreground. The player defeats enemies by utilizing Klonoa's special weapon called the "Wind Bullet", a device resembling a ring that can fire a small burst of wind straight forward. When this "bullet" hits an enemy, it will pull them into Klonoa's arms, allowing him to lift them over his head. From this position, he can either throw them straight forward, taking out any other enemy they hit, or use them to perform a double-jump that will allow Klonoa to reach places he normally couldn't. Also, by holding down the jump button, Klonoa can float in mid-air for a short duration by flapping his large ears, somewhat increasing his jump height in the process.
Klonoa will have to run, jump, and solve various [[puzzles]] in order to advance through each of the game's levels, called "visions". Several environmental factors like small, localized tornados and springboards can be used to launch Klonoa up or forward, and he will have to use these to make it past certain obsticles. Each vision also has a certain number of Phantomilians (the residents of Phantomile) that are lost and need to be rescued. By finding them all, special bonus levels will be made availible after the player has beaten the game.
