Trivia[]

  • The evil dreamworld Nightmare is sometimes called the "Nightmare World".
  • "Crewle" is an obvious play on the words "crew" and "cruel", while "Pole" is short for "tadpole" in reference to Pole's resemblance to a tadpole.
  • When you manage to collide a defeated Goodle/bird into a Nightopian, the egg that forms appears to hatch into a regular Nightopian instead of Nightmaren hybrid called a "Mepian".
  • There was a deleted Nightmaren secret boss from NiGHTS into Dreams called "Selph", whose name plays on the word "self". It was intended to be in the game but was deleted from the roster at the last second because time constraints.
    • Selph was supposed to be a 'concealed boss' according to a interview of Yuji Naka. He was based on the 'Self' archetype of Carl Jung's theory.
    • Even though Selph was deleted, a dataminer discovered an unknown boss' name, 'Selph' in the beta level roster, right before Wizeman's.
    • Around this time a music track of what would have been Selph's battle theme, entitled "Know Thyself," was found in a Japan only Cd. The Japanese website for NiGHTS described this track as "Belonging to a boss that had been cut from the game". This track also bears an interesting resemblance to "Dreams, Dreams," leading many fans to believe that Selph has a strong connection to NiGHTS.
    • However, no data exist relating to any physical designs for the deleted boss,other then a boss emblem left in the game data, leaving fans to speculate and invent possible designs for themselves.
    • Another nugget of information discovered were parts for a sort of "mirror staff" and additional information regarding the data, found by another dataminer. This was later found to be a warped texture of one of Wizeman's fingers.
    • A texture of a name tag spelt 'Self' was found, marking the first graphical asset found in connection with him. This also confirmed his name was intended to be spelt 'Self'.
