Cocoron

In Cocoron, Tapir—a mysterious blue wizard from the Dream World—sends the player to rescue Princess Rua. The quest expands to include other characters, including Santa Claus, the king of Trump Castle, and the blue fairy Cocoron.

Tapir’s dream-manipulating abilities shape the game’s central system. Players assemble their own character by combining one of eight heads with one of eight bodies. These parts influence more than appearance, determining attributes such as health, speed, and jumping ability.
