Heya! I just wanted to make a thread showing off some of Klonoa's appearances in other games and whatnot. I'll just post my personal favorite, since I don't want to hog all the fun. Plus there may not be many other people who know of this particular one:

Keroro RPG:

I love this cameo because it's unbelievably meta! This is from a game based on the anime/manga series Sgt. Frog which was developed by the Tales Studio. Klonoa appears as a summon, and it's all due to the fact that he and the lead character, Sgt. Keroro, are both voiced by Kumiko Watanabe x3

Argh, I hate the wii Klonoa suit :P anyways I already knew that cameo, there's a list somewhere on the internet but don't remember where but I'll add a thing that isn't really a cameo but more like an inspiration: Kingdom Hearts's intro is inspired by Klonoa 2's intro and also the game was made an year later on the same month. Some people say there are other references too but since I didn't get that much in Kingdom Hearts I don't really know if that is true or not

The Wii suit isn't too bad, but I'm used to the blue suit as it's probably the one he's used the longest.

Didn't make a cameo in another crossover game?

Just a few days ago I ordered a copy of Moto GP and Alpine Racer 3 for the PS2 just to unlock and play as Klonoa in both games. xD That fact alone is awesome! I always knew about his guest appearances in these games but it took me until now to actually buy the games.. they were cheap too. Luckily, I have the means to play a PAL format game because Alpine Racer 3 was only released in Japan and Europe.
Who wouldn't wanna hoverboard down mountain slopes or burn rubber on a motorcycle track as Klonoa? I'm excited to play!

Yeah, he looks so huge and goofy compared to the human riders.. but that's whats so charming about the cameo. xD

Here's a cameo that I'm fairly certain nobody here knows about!

It seems that Klonoa's face is shown on a 2001 PlayStation 1 game known as Point Blank 3. Given the year it was made, Klonoa has the traditional "Door to Phantomile" look on his face, alongside other known Namco characters.

If there's a larger image than this, I'd like to see it, but here it is:

I found a bigger view of the Klonoa mask in this Youtube video. It appears at 2:23.

Got MotoGP in the mail today.. still waiting on Alpine Racer 3. (It's coming from Europe so gotta be patient.)
I immediately went to unlock Klonoa and it took me a good few tries because I have never played this game before and you have to make some tricky turns on a section of a race track in under 21 seconds.
Luckily I finally completed it and got Klonoa. I like the pic they used for his vehicle select screen and speedometer. =)

Got Alpine Racer 3 in the mail today all the way from Europe and I unlocked Klonoa. =) You cannot play as him in the Championship mode but you can use him in every other mode. And for your enjoyment I ripped the jingles for Klonoa from the game and put them on Youtube.
