It was released in Japan on December 2, 2006 as a launch title for the Wii, then in Europe on February 23, 2007 and North America on March 20, 2007.

Kororinpa is based on the marble game Labyrinth, but instead of using knobs on the sides to tilt the level, the player rotates the Wii Remote as if they were holding the twisted pathways of each maze in order to navigate a spherical object to the end goal.

In addition, players may be awarded with bronze, silver, or gold trophies for completing levels within a predetermined amount of time.

[7] IGN UK cited the game as being "hard not to warm to", noting the "jolly soundtrack and cunning level design difficult to resist".

[24] Marble Saga: Kororinpa features a plot in which the player assists a small ant named Anthony and his colony to locate the Golden Sunflower Seed.
