Nights: Journey of Dreams is an
action video game developed by
Sonic Team and published by
Sega for the
Wii. The sequel to the 1996
Sega Saturn title
Nights into Dreams, it was first released in Japan, on 13 December 2007, followed by North America, Australia and Europe. The story follows two children, Will and Helen, who enter a
dream world called Nightopia. When their nightmares come to life, they enlist the flying character
Nights to help them stop the evil ruler Wizeman from escaping into the real world. The main objective of the game is to fly through rings while gathering keys to access new levels. The game's setting was designed to resemble England, especially parts of London. Development of Journey of Dreams began shortly after the release of
Shadow the Hedgehog in 2005, and was headed by Sonic Team veteran
Takashi Iizuka. The game received mixed reviews; critics praised its colourful visuals,
boss battles and special effects, but most cited its poor control schemes, aesthetics and general gameplay as major flaws. (

A Daruma doll (Japanese: 達磨) is a hollow, round, traditional Japanese doll modeled after Bodhidharma, the founder of the Zen tradition of Buddhism. These dolls, though typically red and depicting a bearded man (Dharma), vary greatly in color and design depending on region and artist. Though considered an omocha, meaning toy, by some, Daruma has a design that is rich in symbolism and is regarded more as a talisman of good luck to the Japanese. They are seen as symbols of perseverance and good luck, making them a popular gift of encouragement. Photograph: Chris Woodrich
