Kuru Kuru Kururin is a puzzle game for the Gameboy Advance. The name translates to Spinning Kururin.
Story
Kururin's brothers and sisters have gone missing. At first, he is unsure, but quickly agrees to find them. Teacher Hare teaches Kururin how to fly the Heririn, a helicopter-like vehicle. With that, Kururin sets of on his journey to save his family.
Gameplay
Each level consists of a maze that the player must navigate without touching the walls. The player can touch a wall three times before dying. Hitting the wall also costs the player 3 seconds and causes any siblings the player has collected to fly away. Collecting a heart will heal the player a little. Also in the maze are bonuses that can change the Heririn's color or blade shape.
Players can go back after beating a level to attempt a better time or collect bonus items they missed the first time.
Legacy
The Heririn, Kururin's helicopter, appears in Super Smash Bros. Melee as a trophy.
Sequels
Kuru Kuru Kururin was popular enough to warrant a sequel, Kururin Paradise for the Gameboy Advance.
