Background:
Marble Mania is a fun and addictive action puzzle game that lets players tilt and rotate the Wii Remote to roll a ball around a maze to reach the goal. Using an intuitive control scheme, gamers of all ages and skill levels can pick up a Wii Remote and immediately join the fun.

Gameplay:
In Kororinpa the player uses the Wiimote to roll balls through mazes by tilting it to change the angle of the maze on screen. Tilt it too much and the ball will fall off the track. Along the way, there are crystals to collect. A certain number of them is needed to unlock the final door in each level in order to progress to the next. Some unlock 'secret' levels. Each level can be replayed infinitely to improve the time.

The "balls" are not really balls but cute animals such as a ladybug, a fluffy cat or a watermelon. They have different characteristics e.g response time, speed and bounciness. The mazes get increasingly complex and can require the player to turn the controller upside down. There are 50 levels in five different environments, each with specific visual style, music and obstacles.
Features:
  • Simple and intuitive control system!
  • 20 kinds of marble variations with different control, playability and look and feel
  • Full 3D control, tip the world on its side, and even upside down!
