The gameplay of Nights involves steering the imp @-@ like androgynous protagonist , Nights , as it flies on a mostly 2D plane across surreal stages broken into four segments each . The levels repeat for as long as an in @-@ game time limit allows , while flying over or looping around various objects in rapid succession earns additional points . Although it lacked the fully 3D environments of Nintendo 's Super Mario 64 , Nights ' emphasis on unfettered movement and graceful acrobatic techniques showcased the intuitive potential of analog control . Sonic Team 's Burning Rangers , a fully 3D action @-@ adventure game involving a team of outer @-@ space firefighters , garnered praise for its transparency effects and distinctive art direction , but was released in limited quantities late in the Saturn 's lifespan and criticized for its short length .
