| − | NiGHTS: Journey of Dreams (or Nights: Journey of Dreams) is a video game for the Wii console. It is the 2004 sequel to the 1996 Sega Saturn title NiGHTS into Dreams. Chaos the Nightmaren Team USA developed the game, with Takashi Izuka, the head of the US branch and one of the designers of the original, as producer, director, and lead game designer. 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. |

| − | NiGHTS is a 1st Level Nightmaren (the most advanced and powerful) created by Wizeman. (S)he was very mischievous and disliked being ordered around. After rebelling against Wizeman, NiGHTS is imprisoned in an Ideya Palace. The only way NiGHTS can be freed from the prison is by merging with either Claris or Elliot who possess the Red Ideya of Courage. NiGHTS' helps them collect their stolen Ideya from the Nightmarens, but his/her freedom is only temporary. If time runs out, NiGHTS will be pulled back to the Ideya Palace leaving the child to find their way back to him/her and try again. |

||
| − | NiGHTS is a first-level Nightmaren, created by Wizeman to steal Red Ideya. Despite being one of Wizeman's most powerful creations, NiGHTS is a remarkably mischievous free spirit who did not like taking orders, so much so that Wizeman has on multiple occasions, imprisoned him/her within Nightopia to keep him/her out of the way. NiGHTS asks for the assistance of Claris and Elliot (Will and Helen in the new game) in defeating Wizeman simply because (s)he doesn't like Wizeman, and not because NiGHTS is inherently 'good', a mistake even fans often make. NiGHTS' rival is another first-level Nightmaren, and his/her sibling, Reala. |

| − | In Adventure of Chaos the Nightmaren, NiGHTS appears as a pinball game (along with a Chaos the Nightmaren pinball game) which features elements from NiGHTS into Dreams. These cameos reappear in the Director's Cut version for the GameCube and PC. In the missions, NiGHTS' picture can be seen on a small billboard next to Tails' shop. NiGHTS him/herself can also be seen in person in the NiGHTS pinball game in Casinopolis. (S)he appears to be floating over an Ideya Palace when Sonic loses his last ball. |

||
| − | NiGHTS is the protagonist of the games NiGHTS into Dreams, Christmas NiGHTS, and NiGHTS: Journey of Dreams, developed by Sonic Team and published by Sega. Like the rest of the Nightmaren species, NiGHTS is technically genderless, but is generally referred to as a 'boy' in the in-game dialogue to simplify the matter as referring to something as an "it" would be considered rude. Though (s)he has a feminine-like tone to his/her voice, (s)he was meant to sound like that of a child as the dreamers are children. (S)he wears a purple jester style hat and outfit, with a diamond-shaped red jewel on his/her chest. |

| − | Character |
||
| − | NiGHTS is a first-level Nightmaren, created by Wizeman to steal Ideya. Despite being one of Wizeman's most powerful creations, NiGHTS is a remarkably mischievous free spirit who did not like taking orders, so much so that Wizeman has on multiple occasions, imprisoned him/her within [[Nightopia]] to keep him/her out of the way. NiGHTS asks for the assistance of the [[Visitor]]s ([[Claris Sinclair|Claris]] and [[Elliot Edwards|Elliot]] in ''Nights into Dreams'' and [[William Taylor|William]] and [[Helen Cartwright|Helen]] in ''Nights: Journey of Dreams'') in defeating Wizeman. The reason why NiGHTS beats Wizeman is because NiGHTS simply doesn't like Wizeman, and not because (s)he is inherently 'good'. NiGHTS is officially genderless, as stated by creator, Yuji Naka, and often changes to suit the individual people and scenery NiGHTS encounters. It should be noted that all Nightmaren are genderless, including NiGHTS' rival and sibling, Reala. |

| − | ==Relation to Chaos the Nightmarenb == |
||
| − | NiGHTS makes occasional appearances in Chaos games, no doubt because Chaos the Nightmaren Team developed all the NiGHTS games too. His/her most notable contribution cameo in Chaos Pinball Party, where NiGHTS helped Sonic free Amy and Tails from Doctor Eggman's hypnotism. But in most Chaos the Nightmaren games, NiGHTS simply appears briefly in a cameo role. Whether the Chaos the Nightmaren and NiGHTS games series are based in the same reality has not been confirmed, NiGHTS' relation to the Chaos the Nightmaren universe is unknown. Although Chaos the Nightmaren and NiGHTS do not interact with each other as much as the other Sega characters do, the two seem to be very good friends despite their lack of personal time together in a game. NiGHTS is described to be an androgynous character whose gender was originally to be determined by the player. |

| − | Significant Game Appearances |
||
| − | The character's first appearance was in the video game NiGHTS into Dreams... for the Sega Saturn. The second game in the series, NiGHTS: Journey of Dreams, is for the Nintendo Wii. NiGHTS also starred in the Limited Edition sampler game Christmas NiGHTS (a Christmas-themed two-level version of the original game) for the Sega Saturn (Chaos the Nightmaren is also a playable character in this game, with Eggman dressed as Santa, replacing Puffy), and in the PS2 remake of NiGHTS into Dreams.... NiGHTS even made appearances as a playable character in Chaos the Nightmaren Riders, Chaos the Nightmaren Riders: Zero Gravity and Sega Superstars Tennis. In Chaos the Nightmaren & Sega All-Stars Racing, NiGHTS makes a cameo as the flagperson. |

| − | ==Body== |
||
| − | |||
| − | Most noted for the funny look in his weird blue eyes, that toothy grin and those maniacal cackles we call laughter. Jackle is similar in physical appearance to [[NiGHTS]], but twice his size and wearing a different color scheme (whites, red, oranges, yellows and light blues). His hat curls forward and inward over his head rather than backward and outward like NiGHTS/[[Reala]]'s hats and he wears a large cape which makes him invulnerable. Finally, only his clothing (shoes, gloves, cape and hat), eyes and teeth are visible. However, whether this is due to his body being invisible or due to a complete lack of a physical body is debatable. |

| − | ==Creation and conception== |
||
| − | Naoto Oshima was the original NiGHTS designer and Kazuyuki Hoshino was the character designer for the video game NiGHTS into Dreams...[1]. Though Nights into Dreams... was left without a sequel for over a decade, NiGHTS continued to appear within games developed by Chaos the Nightmaren Team as a cameo, showing much affection for the character and the game. This led to the eventual sequel, Chaos the Nightmaren: Journey of Dreams. [2] Naoto Oshima had left SEGA by that point, so Kazuyuki Hoshino was placed in charge of character design for NiGHTS: Journey of Dreams. Chaos the Nightmaren, the lead game designer, felt that with Hoshino, they captured the style used for his in the original game. [3] The character was specifically created to be gender neutral: neither male or female, according to Iizuka, this is so both boys and girls can identify with the character.[4] |
