With variations featuring monkeys, mercury, and marbles, the Wii has several labyrinthine navigational titles in its expanding library. Super Money Ball: Banana Blitz, Mercury Meltdown: Revolution, and Kororinpa: Marble Mania all require players to deftly move the environment around an object in an effort to reach a end-zone. The genre’s strength lies in its simplicity; within minutes even novice gamers can comprehend the game’s physics and goals. Meeting those objectives may be a different story, as the gamer is presented with an ever-increasing amount of challenges of dexterity.
Marble Saga: Kororinpa is the quintessential sequel that significantly expands on its predecessor’s scope. In addition to offering additional levels, the title offers support for the Wiifit balance board, and includes a versatile level editor with the ability to share creations with people on your friends list. Regrettably, one major caveat keeps us from giving the title an unrestrained recommendation.
As the game open’s, players are introduced to a small ant determined to acquire a golden sunflower seed. The protagonist exists solely to give the title narrative motivation, and to give credibility to the game’s garden setting. Most players will feel little affinity for the game’s protagonist, and will likely desire to jump into the heart of Kororinpa.
