The object is simple. Guide your ship throughout the different worlds that are designed in a tack-type fashion. While you move though, you ship, witch has a long wing-span, constantly rotates. If you touch the sides of the level, you receive damage. You can change the direction that your ship rotates by hitting springs placed along some of the walls throughout the levels. Sometimes a level will get really narrow and often curve in one direction or the other. Times like these are when it becomes important to be rotating in the correct direction. Throughout the game, you can collect coins. You can use these coins to buy ship and health upgrades, playing tips videos, and lots of other fun things from the shops in each world. Sometimes, you have to fight enemys using the weapons that are provided in the levels that need them. At the end of each world, is a boss that you must fight. Each boss is different on how they must be defeated. As you finish each world, the next world becomes available on the map. You can always go back to previous worlds or boss battles to get a better completion score or to get more coins for spending in the shop. Although "Kururin Squash" was only released in Japan and all of the text is entirely Japanese, you do not have to know the language to play it. You do however need to have either a Japanese GameCube or a modified US one. If you are a fan of Nintendo or just enjoy quirky Japanese games, you owe it to your self to play this game.Read full review
Kururun Squash is a very strange and unique game. I can safely say there is nothing like it in the U.S. However, I can see why it wouldn't have done very well in the U.S. market. It's way too cutesy and simple to have appealed to the American audience, so I can't blame Nintendo for not releasing it here. Nevertheless, it is a part of Nintendo history that any Smash Bros. fan recognizes as missing from the American game lineup. The plot is goofy, something about Kururin losing his siblings and other family members while on a family trip and having to go back and rescue them. You make your way through various courses, collecting coins, in helicopter like vehicles that are perpetually turning. This spinning can be sped up to help make your way through courses, and different "helirins" are utilized to add attacks and other abilities to the main gameplay setup. There is a shop, a fun multiplayer mode, and the interface is easy enough to figure out even without Japanese knowledge. I highly recommend this game to anyone longing for a long-lost puzzle-like game from Nintendo's history.Read full review
Amazing game! This is so addictive it's unbelievable - as you can tell I love this game and it's getting so hard now I'm on the 6th World. It's an action puzzle game that will test your patience to the absolute limit. I can't understand why this didn't get a Western release but if you have a Freeloader or a Japanese Gamecube then this is a MUST! You can't combine JAP save games with PAL and/or US so you'll need a separate save game card for this game.
Fun and addictive
