Kuru Kuru Kururin is a video game for the Game Boy Advance hand held console. The player controls a slowly spinning stick and must get it through a series of mazes without touching the walls. The player controls the direction and speed of movement (it is a 3-speed stick), but the task is made difficult as the stick rotates continually. Gameplay is very challenging and rewarding, and once the player has gotten through a level there are bonuses to collect, record times to beat, and a gold star for getting through the level without any accidents. The game also features multiplayer support that enables four-players to participate in the action with the use of a single cartridge.

Kururin was released in Japan and Europe but not in the United States.

However, because the GBA has no region lockout, European games will work fine on a U.S. GBA unit, and apparently, even a player who knows no Japanese can navigate the menus in the Japanese version of Kururin.

A sequel entitled Kururin Paradise has been released in Japan and, as of this writing, is announced to be released in Europe. Another sequel was released for the GameCube, entitled Kururin Squash!.
