PrologueDo you remember the last dream you had? Everyone visits the mysterious dream world when they sleep at night.

Did you know the world of “Dreams” actually exists?

But dreams aren’t always happy. There is another world in the Night Dimension filled with darkness and horror known as Nightmare. Wizeman, the creator of this dark place, is determined to extinguish the light of Nightopia forever, and he regularly sends his Nightmarens to invade the peaceful Nightopia. When the five traits, or Ideya, are stolen from the happy dreamers, their dreams are turned to nightmares.

Will and Helen, two 12-year-olds from the town of Bellbridge, are both struggling with difficult emotions and they regularly visit the world of Nightmare. They have lost the five Ideya of Nightopia and are forced to wander in the emptiness until they meet NiGHTS and an old owl. They learn that Nightopia is on the verge of extinction and only the Courage Ideya remains. Despite their difficult emotions, Will and Helen know they must defend their dreams.

So begins the story of keeping ones dreams alive and the courage of a boy, a girl, and NiGHTS...

When you fall asleep, your consciousness travels to another dimension, the world of “Dreams” in the Night Dimension. If you are experiencing hope, courage, purity, intelligence and growth, you will have a good dream in the beautiful world of Nightopia. These five positive traits can be found throughout the idyllic world in different colored orbs known as Ideya.

Owl watches over the adventures of NiGHTS, Will and Helen, and gives useful hints and information during Missions. If you have problems advancing, find the Owl’s perch with his likeness on it. During a mission, you may also select the Owl face for a hint using the Pause Menu.

Owl

Under the orders of Reala, the Goodles watch over NiGHTS’ prison (also known as NiGHTS Capture) like prison guards. They hold a key that deactivates NiGHTS Capture. Goodles aren’t very smart nor are they powerful, but they can control huge birds and are incredibly quick when escaping. By tracing the trails of the birds, you can catch them quickly.

Goodles

This rare creature from Nightopia sucks in the light and produces Rings, which creates Dash Power for NiGHTS. The Octopaw is harmless and very cowardly; it will run for its life as soon as it sees a human. If you chase it persistently, it will shoot ink at you.

Octopaw

These mysterious messengers do not belong to Nightopia or Nightmare. Awakers will appear out of nowhere to bring a Visitor who has wandered into the Night Dimension back to the real world. By throwing Blue Chips, you can temporarily stop them, but you cannot defeat them. If you are caught by three Awakers, it will be Night Over.

Awakers

Characters

NiGHTS

Reala

William Taylor

Helen Cartwright

Will, 12, is a very talented soccer player and from the youngest age his father trained with him ceaselessly. Though Will is popular and by far the best player on the team, he doesn’t have many friends for all the time he spends with his father. When Will’s father was transferred for work without warning, Will was not allowed to go with him and he was devastated with loneliness. He soon began having nightmares every night.

Helen is a 12-year-old girl who lives in a quiet residential area. She loves the violin and she dreams of playing for large audiences one day. She played violin with her mother every day until she became more interested in spending time with friends. She didn’t allow herself to feel the deep guilt she held towards her mother and she began having nightmares.

NiGHTS detests being ordered around or restrained, and freely flies through the skies of Nightopia. NiGHTS is full of curiosity, and loves anything new or unusual. NiGHTS sometimes scares or makes fun of people. Although NiGHTS doesn’t have a strong sense of righteousness, NiGHTS is unhappy about Wizeman’s attempt to eliminate Nightopia, and decides to help Will and Helen.

Reala is one of the First-level Nightmarens created by Wizeman. Unlike NiGHTS who is free and unrestrained, graceful, bright and cheerful, Reala is obedient towards Wizeman the creator, as well as dirty, cruel, and insidious. As a symbol of loyalty, Reala wears a persona mask given to him by Wizeman. Reala acts as the leader of the whole Nightmaren force.

Wizeman is an all-powerful being who seeks to rule the Night Dimension, but one thing stands in his way: Nightopia. After creating the dark world of Nightmare, Wizeman populated it with creatures derived from its own soul known as Nightmarens. With the ability to create natural disasters and his wicked Nightmarens, Wizeman just may succeed in his quest to destroy Nightopia.

Note that Mindsight does not indicate the actual location on the screen where the Wii Remote is pointing; it indicates the general direction where the Wii Remote is pointing, and is displayed within the area around NiGHTS.

By obtaining an item called a Persona, you can transform NiGHTS into one of three special forms at any time. Personas can be assigned to the directions (left, up or right) of the +Control Pad, so press the assigned direction to transform NiGHTS. To revert back to the original form, press the +Control Pad down. After the transformation, press the B Button (a Button for Classic Controller, A Button for Nintendo GameCube Controller) for their unique action.

From “Touch,” press the respective button to perform a Drill Dash in the direction NiGHTS is facing. This will allow you to intentionally control the direction of your Drill Dash.

Touch-loop

AutomaticWii Remote Nunchuk Style Classic Style Controller

When you touch a Nightmaren, NiGHTS will start to spin. It is possible to perform a Paraloop when this happens, allowing you to defeat small Nightmarens.

● NiGHTS CONTROLS

NiGHTS will not take damage simply by making contact with the enemy. Whenever you approach an enemy or an object you can make contact with, NiGHTS will automatically “touch” it and maintain this state. Fly to the opposite side of the enemy/object to cancel this state.

NiGHTS will spin itself and accelerate while the button is pressed and held. Drill Dash has an attacking effect, so it can move forward through breakable objects without stopping. Release the button to revert to normal flight. Drill Dash consumes Dash Power. Without power, you can only use Drill Dash while you press the button. Dash Power can be charged up by flying through the Rings. The current amount of power is displayed at the lower left corner of the screen.

When the enemy takes NiGHTS’ Drill Dash, the enemy will bounce like a ball. If you make the enemy hit a Nightopian, a Nightopian Egg will appear.

This bonus technique is performed by obtaining items (Rings, Blue Chips, etc.) in succession within one second of each other. The points earned in the process will be doubled, tripled, and so on (max. x10). Also, except for a few Missions, there will be a time extension. As soon as the Link is broken, half the number of Links made will be added to your remaining time in seconds.

Links

Whenever NiGHTS takes damage, five seconds will be deducted from the time limit. If the time limit expires, it will be Night Over, and you will fail your Mission. However, NiGHTS can continue on beyond the time limit, as long as you continue Linking. There are other Mission-specific conditions for Night Over.

● MY DREAM

My Dream is your personal garden where you can watch A-LIFEs (Nightopians and Nightmarens). As you bring new A-LIFEs in, the form and appearance of your My Dream world will change. Through Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection, you can also visit other player’s My Dream, or have others visit yours.

If there are more Nightopians than Nightmarens, the environment in My Dream will look more like Nightopia. If there are more Nightmarens, the place will look more like Nightmare. The landscape may also change according to the flight abilities of the A-LIFE nearby. Moreover, the weather in My Dream will change according to Weather Link, which will affect the A-LIFE’s behavior.

Changes in Environment

Inside My Dream there is a Door that leads to other players online. Go through and visit the My Dream of your friend or someone you haven’t met before.

You can also unlock the Door for other players to visit your My Dream, or you can lock it.

When someone comes to visit you, a message will be displayed to notify you. You can choose to have him/her come in, or decline his/her visit.

Going Online

Upon visiting a friend’s My Dream, you can carry one gift (egg or A-LIFE) and give it to your friend, or take one home. After the confirmation, the gift will be exchanged. Note that gifts cannot be exchanged between the players that have not been registered on the Friend Roster.

Exchanging Gifts

A-LIFEs are sent to My Dream by capturing them in the Chase Mission through Paraloop. Note however that you can send only two Nightmarens of the same kind.

Each A-LIFE has Health Points that decrease with time. As you play Missions in Nightopia, the time in My Dream advances also. To recover a Nightopian’s Health, feed it a Blue Chip.

There is a certain area in My Dream where Nightopians will take a nap. While taking a nap, the Nightopians will not consume Health points. Note however that only up to five Nightopians can stay in this area.

A-LIFEs in My Dream

You can also invite a friend from your Friend Roster (p.20) to visit you. When inviting someone, you can choose to ring a Call Chime to let him/her know that you are waiting.

Depending on your results in the Missions, an object may appear. This could be a Treasure Chest with useful items, or objects such as a water fountain. The objects could be destroyed by Nightmarens, or disappear from the change in landscape. If there are no Nightopians with high curiosity nearby, the object may even weather.

Objects in My Dream

Chatting with a visitor (or the host if you are a visitor) is done with icons. Press the B button on the Wii Remote (or +Control Pad on the Classic Controller or Nintendo GameCube Controller) to display the Icon Menu. Select and enter up to three icons, and send your message.
