Hello everyone. So, recently I've been playing through Klonoa Heroes in preparation for a video, and ever since I reached the fifth world, I've noticed that my attacks don't seem to register nearly as often as before, even though I'm clearly hitting the enemies. I also get a squeaky sort of sound effect and some Japanese text that probably translates to "miss."

So I did some grinding to try and see if that would fix the problem, and upon upping my agility stat, I noticed that this issue of missing enemies seemed to disappear entirely.
So I guess what I would like to know is what the agility stat does. Is it similar to the accuracy or evasion stats used in other RPGs?The game might actually explain this, but since I can't read Japanese, there's no way I would know that (which isn't the game's fault, of course).
