SEGA Superstars, a 2004 PS2 mini game collection made for Sony’s Eyetoy camera, had a NiGHTS mini game. In addition to NiGHTS, Sonic Riders also had a track with an area based on NiGHTS. Unlocking NiGHTS in the first game required the completion of all missions, while getting them in the sequel only required beating all story missions. NiGHTS appeared in 2006’s Sonic Riders and its sequel, Zero Gravity, as a flight-type character. This game could also be downloaded from Phantasy Star Online Episodes I&II. Billy Hatcher & the Giant Eggīilly Hatcher also had an unlockable downloadable mini-game for the GBA, NiGHTS Score Attack. With a total of 12 table designs based on the game’s first six levels and bosses, this is one of the most extensive NiGHTS appearances outside of the franchise’s games. After all four ideya are collected, the player can then face the boss, which appears in the upper right corner of the table. From there, it needs to be knocked into the ideya to get it. The pinball needs to be hit into an ideya palace three times to dualize with NiGHTS. This table aims to replicate NiGHTS in pinball form. Featured as one of the game’s three pinball tables, this one drew significantly more inspiration from NiGHTS into Dreams… then the table from Sonic Adventure. When Sonic returned to pinball in 2003 with Sonic Pinball Party for the Game Boy Advance, it was only fitting NiGHTS was brought along for the ride. The game also features NiGHTS-inspired Chao like the first game. NiGHTS decorated a few levels, such as Radical Highway and City Escape. The NiGHTS cameos are way less noticeable in Sonic Adventure 2, but they are there. Sonic Shuffle also takes place in a dream world, and Lumina herself bears some visual similarities to NiGHTS, which is probably why Hudson Soft included the easter egg. When the Dreamcast’s clock was set to December 24, NiGHTS would replace Lumina as the game’s guide in multiplayer matches. NiGHTS popped up again in SEGA’s Sonic party game, Sonic Shuffle, released in 2000. Sonic Shuffle Image from Sonic the Hedgeblog NiGHTS made a brief appearance as two of a multitude of capsule toys that could be collected in SEGA’s 1999 open world game, Shenmue. Shenmue When Ryo couldn’t find sailors, he could at least find capsule toys It was also possible to create NiGHTS chao by giving them flying animals. Collecting more then one of the same card nets a load of rings, and opens up a portal to a second, Nightmare themed pinball table.īetween the tables, cards, and two neat looking animations that showcase the NiGHTS world, this remains one of the coolest NiGHTS cameos SEGA has done. Players knock the pinball around the table, trying to collect cards which feature numerous NiGHTS characters. Released in 1998, Sonic Adventure’s NiGHTS pinball game in Casinopolis is the franchise’s earliest cameo, and how many of us were first introduced to it. This is hardly a complete list, of course, but we’re at least touching on many of the character’s more notable appearances! Sonic Adventure I don’t think any celebration of NiGHTS would be complete without an overview of the character’s many, many cameos in other SEGA properties.

Before NiGHTS into Dreams… became widely available with its HD release in 2012, many people (including myself) first encountered the series through its copious amount of cameos, largely in Sonic Team games.
