I had wanted to play this game for years just because I thought it looked like it might scratch a similar itch to Monkey Ball for a long time, and I finally played through it with my girlfriend when she modded her Wii. What a fucking awesome and lesbian ass game we chose.

Kororinpa has some of the most charming level designs from a visual standpoint in any game like this, the music is a fucking slapper, and the motion controls in the game are easily a top tier use of the Wii remote in history, as it feels incredibly fluent and addictive controlling your marble around giant plates of gelatin and city skylines. It never gets horribly difficult which I actually find refreshing for this kind of game, although the difficulty does ramp up in a rather devious way and some levels will have you on edge tilting your remote ever so slightly with baited breath. It's maybe the most underrated Wii game I've ever played right next to Pokepark. Also the marbles make cute sounds.
