If this is a shocker to you, then stuff it. Sonic Rush is a copy of Klonoa 2: Lunatae's Veil.
 * At first Klonoa 2 is older
 * Secondly both are 2.5D games
 * The story is about tracking down a new mysterious rival. (One was a cat)
 * The map system is the exact same, its aerial viewed and 3D, You control the character and it moves to a trail of dots (Same in both) once you select the area Blaze does the same movement as Klonoa did . (Both spin around and cross fist)
 * Both games have the gliding gimmick
 * The first boss fight of Klonoa is a big robot which you fight in a 2.5D circular place, when its destroyed camera cuts of explosions come. The same is in some of the Rush's bosses.
