Clu Clu Land is a puzzle game for the NES. The name "Clu Clu Land" is derived from the Japanese "Kuru Kuru" which means "around and around".
Story
A type of sea urchin named the Unira has stolen all the treasure in Clu Clu Land. Bubbles must retrieve the treasure.
Gameplay
The player must move around the board, trying to uncover all of the gold ingots. When they go over one, they become visible. In later levels, the player has to go over them twice for the ingots to appear and going over them once they appear will rebury them. The player can usually guess where the ingots are because they form a pattern. When all of the ingots are recovered, the player move on to the next level.
To control Bubbles, the player must press left or right to have Bubbles grab a pole to turn himself. The player can also use a sound wave to stun their enemies, which allows the player to defeat them.
Legacy
Bubbles appears as a trophy in Super Smash Bros. Melee as well as being a playable character in DK: King of Swing (which has a similar gameplay style to Clu Clu Land). Also, one of 9-Volt's games in WarioWare: Smooth Moves is based on Clu Clu Land. Clu Clu Land is also one of the games featured in NES Remix, which gives players unique challenges set in excerpts of classic NES games and sometimes mixes different elements of the games.
Sequels
