Kururin and his family have just returned from a trip around the world. But something is wrong. Kururin notices that while the family left as thirteen, only he and two others managed to make it back. Could it be that the remaining family members are lost and waiting to be rescued? Kururin does what any blue-colored chicken would do in this situation: he boards his specially designed "Helirin" helicopter and heads out to save his family. For those familiar with Kuru Kuru Kururin (GBA), Kururin's helicopter is the rotating rod thing you controlled in that game. For those not familiar with Kuru Kuru Kururin, here's a refresher. In the GBA original and now in the GameCube version, you move a slowly rotating rod through a maze-like playfield, trying to get to a goal. Hit too many objects on the playfield, including walls and other obstacles, and the rod blows up, placing you back at the level's starting point.
