The '''''Kururin'' universe''' ({{ja|くるりん|Kururin}}, ''Kururin'') is a series of puzzle games developed by Eighting and published by [[Nintendo]]. 

==Franchise Description==
The original game in the series, ''{{s|wikipedia|Kuru Kuru Kururin}}'' was first revealed at Space World 2000. The game released on Japan on March 21, 2001 and in Europe & Australia on June 22, 2001 as a Game Boy Advance launch title. The game did not officially release in North America until February 11, 2016 on [[Wii U]] [[Virtual Console]]. The game involves the player piloting a constantly moving [[Helirin]], rotating and repositioning it so it does not crash into walls or other obstacles. The plotline revolves around a small blue bird named Kururin whose family has wandered off during a walk in the park, leading him to pilot his helicopter to rescue them. Different shapes and colors for the Helirin can be found in levels. A sequel titled ''{{s|wikipedia|Kururin Paradise}}'' released for the GBA exclusively in Japan on December 6, 2002. Interestingly, the game was on display at [[E3]] 2002, the first time the series made an appearance in North America, despite never actually releasing there. Another sequel, titled ''{{s|wikipedia|Kururin Squash!}}'', released on October 14, 2004 for [[GameCube]]. This is the first time the series appeared on a home console, and subsequently the first to use 3D polygonal graphics. ''Kuru Kuru Kururin'' was rereleased in February 2023 via Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack.

==In ''Super Smash Bros. Melee''==
The series has one trophy in ''Melee'', where "[[Helirin|'''Helirin''']]" is [[wikipedia:Romanization|misromanized]] as "'''Heririn'''".

===Trophy===
'''Heririn'''
:''Kururin sets off in his specialized helicopter to rescue his siblings who have lost their way somewhere among ten worlds. The helicopter is fitted with an enormous blade, which propels the machine forward by slowly rotating. The mazes that Kururin must navigate are narrow and filled with all kinds of strange obstacles.''

==In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''==
===Assist Trophy===
Helirin appears as an Assist Trophy in ''Brawl''. When summoned, Helirin will move in similar fashion to how it did within its games, in that it will rotate sideways. Helirin acts as a solid [[platform]] and can be stood on.

===Trophies===
'''Helirin'''
:''A unique helicopter that flies with long, slowly rotating wings. If the wings strike walls or obstacles, the Helirin takes damage and loses hearts. The wings normally spin clockwise, but the rotation can be reversed by touching springs. There are many areas that require this technique. The Helirin can be customized by picking up and using a variety of items.''

'''Action Helirins'''
:''Helirins created by Prof. Rabbit. One is a helicopter that can throw punches from its wings to smash things--HELIBOKAAN! Press and hold a button to submerge, then release to surface--HELIBASHAN! Shoot fire left and right from the wings--HELIBOBOH! Use a spinning ability to create tornadoes--HELIBURUUN! There are also five varieties which shoot in rapid fire--HELIBIBYUUN!''
