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 who's 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.
