Right, Elliot's first Xmas NiGHTS course could be run in a way that kept the link going between laps and reaching towards the hundreds eventually.
The living element of the game's levels allow the residents of Nightopia to breed, evolve, and develop dispositions toward the player's influence upon their world. They can play their little horns at NiGHTS' good deeds and triumphs, and their moods determine the real-time composition of the musical score. Xmas NiGHTS put that to creative use with its Music Box mixing feature. The sampler's tie-in to the Saturn's internal clock, also, results in hidden features, themed intro screens, and levels that change with the time - snow blanketing the landscape, constellations showing across the night sky - and change with the season too - the sky hoops turning into Christmas wreaths, the stars into holiday bells, and everything in full holiday decor.
