Klonoa, Huepow and Popka managed to jump into the dream stream while avoiding the monster Chipple, not caring if they are disqualified for running away and give him the victory.

However, Chipple lost against Guntz and Klonoa was saddened at this and tried to comfort him. Klonoa was also horrified to learn that the losers would be turned into gears by Garlen. After Klonoa defeated Garlen, Chipple was the first to thank him for returning everyone back to normal again and Klonoa was happy to see him back.

Trivia[]

  • While Chipple is a kangaroo in the series, he appears more human-like in Empire of Dreams. This is most likely a design change for later games.
  • Chipple turning into his monster form when he gets angry and his line afterwards (“Chipple Smash”) bears similarities to the Hulk.
  • He has siblings but they haven't been seen as of yet.
  • The American manual for Dream Champ Tournament states that he has an older brother who he misses. However, there is nothing in the game itself that supports this.
