Update: December 4, 2006
«©NCSX» Taking a cue from similar games before it such as Cameltry and Super Monkey Ball, Kororinpa asks gamers to manipulate an entire stage in order to move a marble from point A to point B. By rotating and moving the Wii Remote with careful nudges and slight shakes, the play board obediently swivels, turns, and tilts to slide the marble to the goal. The marble obeys the law of physics and moves faster when the controller is tilted at a greater slant and slows down when the Wii Remote is tilted against its current directional roll. By using a coordinated system of ebb and flow, players guide the marble through precarious stages where a death drop is the reward for poor reflexes and bad judgment. The stages in the game are a varied lot with mundane earthy tracks and with multi-tiered levels that take place high above a bustling city with heavy traffic below. Then there are the exotic tracks which hover in outer space or positioned near a kingdom of sorts. Kororinpa features 20 types of spheres or marbles in different styles and decorations. Some marbles are in the shape of animal heads while others feature banded patterns or marble-like striations within. Not all 20 marbles are available at the outset of the game but they may unlocked after completing certain objectives and fulfilling game play requirements. Region Lock-Out

NCS Game Notes
» Stages are selected on a 10 x 5 checkerboard with new stages opening up as initial/earlier stages are completed. Before each stage begins, a rotating overview is shown to give games an idea of how to manipulate through the maze and stage. » One stage features large blue-handled scissors which snips continuously. Dash through them to avoid being cut. » After reaching the goal, clapping sounds may be heard and colorful confetti falls from the heavens. A ranking screen also appears which shows the best time and your current time. » Throughout the stages, luminous, gem-like bonuses may be hit to garner extra points. Japanese Region Alert
