Can you get enough of Super Monkey Balls?  If you can’t you might want to check out Marble Saga: Kororinpa.  The game is similar, but it has its own unique style

with some crazy gameplay (using the wall as the floor, for example).

This multiplayer Wii game makes you play as selectable marbles.  You start out with some, but as you complete the game you can unlock more and more marbles.  Each marble has their own unique stats, and some might even make animal sounds!

Of course, you could even create your own marbles and stages for you to use in this multiplayer puzzle game.  You can also create your own stage and then share it online with your friends via WiiConnect24.

Marble Saga: Kororinpa Gameplay

You’re helping out an ant named Anthony.  The story of the game is not that important, though (I already

Play in the hot desert!

forgot everything else except for the first sentence above…).  What you do is that you tilt the Wiimote around each stage collecting yellow crystals and any other goodies that you can find. This does not include anything that your gamer instincts tell you not to touch. (You know, most games have hazards that something in your mind tells you not to touch. Those instincts.)

In multiplayer mode you only get the yellow crystals.

Anyways, throughout each stage you find junk (literally junk), that can be used to make items to use for creating your own stage.

Playing through the game allows you to unlock new marbles which all have specific stats.  So will it be the slow, but steady panda, or just the plain marble?

Marble Saga: Kororinpa Multiplayer

Sorry folks, but there is no Nintendo WFC in this multiplayer Wii game.  What you have instead is a large selection of stages to play through.  To play multiplayer you have to go to Free Mode and then choose either Normal Stages or Bonus Stages.

Or play in the icy mountains!

Normal Stages

There are 7 levels you can choose from.  What’s that, you’re recommenging a game with only 7 levels you ask?  Well that’s right there are only 7 levels, but in each level there are 10 stages!

So, yeah, play through the sizziling hot desert, the icy mountains, or even in outer space!  That’s a lot of places for one marble to go.  You can play with up to 4 players.  You have to collect the yellow crystals and then go to the goal, first one there wins!  The stages all have unique stuff in them, so be careful!

Bonus Stages

These stages are hard, and not just hard, but bonus stages too.  However hard it is though, the same rules apply, get to the end of the stage with all of the yellow crystals!

Conclusion

Marble Saga: Kororinpa is a fun marble tilting game that reminds me a lot of the marble tilting J board game that my teacher sometimes let us play with back during elementary school.

If you like those sort of games you’ll love this game.

Not only that, but you’ll experience a lot of fun times shifting gravity, making the wall next to you your floor, or just the pure frustration of dying over and over again in a canon, and then hearing the annoying meowing sound over and over.

Plus with multiple difficulty (new tasks), plenty of stages, creatable parts, and custom stages to create and share, you’ll have a blast playing this game, even after beating the game.

If you’re interested I would recommend you to try renting this game first at Gamefly starting as low as $8.95 or Try For Free!
