Robot Summoner Kite 2

Robot Summoner Kite 2 (ロボットサモナーカイト2 Robottosamonākaito 2), known in the overseas release of the PS1 game as Kite the Summoner 2, is an action-platform video game developed and published by Namco for the Playstation, with the remake released for Playstation 2 and Nintendo Gamecube. It is the sequel to the first Kite the Summoner.

Gameplay
The gameplay remains the same, but there are new additions. For one, Kite can now absorb not only the energy from monsters, but also the "planet matter," which he can do with the Matter Vacuum equipped by Suzy. Plus there are three new allies that Kite can pilot to aid him in his adventure: Clint the bull, who runs across rugged terrain, and doesn't slip on ice; Stick the flamingo, who can fly quickly even through harsh winds, and walk across thin platforms; and Berg the walrus, who can swim through waters with ease even against currents (although he performs poorly on land), and with whom Kite can absorb underwater. Whenever Kite is aided by a robomal, his current power is altered.

There are a total of 8 "Lands" in the game. Kite's goal is to travel to these eight lands and rid them of the Planet Matter. In these lands are 3 levels which follow a specific pattern; the 1st level requires the player to find one of Kite's friends, the 2nd level requires them to defeat the mid-boss, and the 3rd level is where the player must stop the main boss. The only land which does not follow this rule is the eighth and last land of the game. Inbetween you will enter a special level where you will face Gear, infected by the Planet Matter, in a battle of summons. If Kite wins, some of the Planet Matter within him will be extracted.

Plot
After the defeat of Despair, Techno City returned to a state of peace. Kite and Vallie meet a new student named Gear, who moved to the city during its time of crisis. Kite took an immediate liking to Gear and the two became friends. Valli announces that her parents are working on inventions that will help Kite travel across Neo-Earth, and Kite and Gear go with her to see them. Meanwhile, a black swarm of matter appears and starts arriving for its target: Neo-Earth. Once it made its destination, the matter started infecting every living thing.

As Kite and his friends (Gear, Milly, Frances, Daniel, Pelt, and Matthew) meet up with Valli, they notice that she and her parents are captured by Despair's remaining monsters, infected by the matter that just arrived to Neo-Earth. Kite used his absorption ability on one of the monsters, but it had no effect. The monsters then activated a switch that created a discharge, which sent them, Kite, Gear, and the others to the various reaches of the world. Tomas exclaims that the portal works, but Cassidy and Valli tell him that there is no time for a celebration and they must help Kite.

Tomas manages to communicate with Kite through Suzy and tells him that Kite will be arriving at the Greenlands, where most of Despair's monsters roam. He orders Suzy to upgrade Kite, giving him a Matter Vacuum, which can extract the matter from the infected monsters. Kite, after extracting the matter from a few monsters, finds himself in an airship built by Cassidy, who said that this airship is built for Kite to travel across Neo-Earth and essential for seeking out the monsters infected by the "Planet Matter." She later sends three Robomals (Clint, Stick, and Berg) to assist Kite to begin his journey.

Stick (スチック): one of Kite's Robomal partners introduced at the Mysterious Ruins. A robotic flamingo with a rather flamboyant personality, Stick can assist Kite through windy aerial areas. He can even balance himself across thin beams.

Mid-Bosses

Gear (ギア): A human boy who moved to Techno City during Despair's attack. He moved there for his personal reasons which include his older brother and family. Prior to the Planet Matter's attack, he became Kite's friend. Some time after the discharge, he was found by Mr. Justin and under the Planet Matter's control. Between lands, Gear will challenge Kite to a summon battle.

Mr. Justin (ミスター・ジャスティン): The founder of Techno City who was once humiliated by Kite in the past. Since the Planet Matter outbreak, he developed the Charger to absorb the Planet Matter for himself. He used the Planet Matter to make himself more powerful, but for the cost of his body.

Specter (スペクター): The true antagonist of the game. It is revealed that Specter is the one responsible for bringing the Planet Matter to Neo-Earth for his purpose of domination. He plans to infect everything so that he can build his galactic empire. To face Specter, Kite must track down the remaining Planet Matter with two new updates.
