In Japanese, "Kuru Kuru" is a way to describe the sound made by something spinning. Kururin is actually the name of the game's hero, who pilots a special helicopter represented by a slowly rotating stick. Using only the Control Pad, players must safely guide Kururin from the start of each level to the goal. Kuru Kuru Kururin will feature four different modes of play, and will allow up to four players to compete simultaneously by using the Game Boy Advance Game Link Cable.
