Fun single and multiplayer and easy to learn without knowledge of Japanese
I tried the versions of this game for the GBA and didn't like them much. The digital controls made for a difficult to play game. On the GC, with its analog stick, it's a world of difference. In addition to the single-player game, the mutiplayer battle game is a riot, though best with 3 or 4 players. The game is easy to figure out without any knowledge of Japanese. Great game, especially for the price. Highly recommended.

Very User Friendly!
Kururin Squash is a great game, regardless if you can read Japanese or not. I got a japanese gamecube back in April. And I have to say this is my best buy yet! The interface is very understandable. Multiplayer ROCKS! And the Game is pure genius by Nintendo. (almost like their answer to super monkey ball )Being a hardcore fan myself, I had to play this japan-exclusive franchise. Especially since I first saw it on both SSB Brawl and Melee. Kururin Squash is an awesome game! If you're on the fence about this game, BUY IT! You won't regret it one bit.

what a surprise
I purchased this game without reading anything about it (hey, it was a good price -- and the reviews on here seemed good) and I was very pleasantly surprised!

simply gameplay and cute graphics, the game overall is challenging and fun! the two player mode is hilarious with a friend!

WHAT A COOL GAME!!!
This is a really fun game. Just buy it!!!

Fun game!
Japanese knowledge really isn't required as it's very simple to find your way around with a little trial and error.

The multiplayer is probably where you'll spend the most of your time, but the single player is also excellent fun and beating the best stage times is quite long-lasting :D

The best fun you can have with a rotating stick!
It's quite a wonder games like this don't make it to the western market, it may seem a little unusual and cutesy but it doesn't have to be hard and realistic to be good!
