While I'm hoping to crack on with some more Nintendo text adventures, I'd also like to make a start on the classic games. First up, I'd like to look at the one underappreciated little action/puzzle title that NinDB has been fond of since the very beginning: Clu Clu Land.
Games
Clu Clu Land
Year: 1984
System: Famicom
Re-releases: Game Boy Advance (Famicom Mini), Wii (Virtual Console)
Also available as a collectible NES game in Animal Crossing.
VS. Clu Clu Land / Clu Clu Land Disk
Year: 1984/1992
System: Arcade / Famicom Disk System
Re-releases: Wii (Virtual Console) Japan Only
Also available as a collectible NES game in Animal Crossing.
Cameos
Mario Artist
Clu Clu Land music appears in the game.
Animal Crossing (N64/GCN)
Clu Clu Land appears as a playable Famicom title in the original N64 version. Both Clu Clu Land and Clu Clu Land Disk (titled Clu Clu Land D in the US) are available in the Gamecube version.
Super Smash Bros. Melee
Bubbles appears as a collectible trophy.
WarioWare: Twisted!
Spin the GBA to guide Bubbles to the fruit, avoiding the obstacles.
DK: King of Swing
Upon clearing the Diddy mode with all medals, you unlock Bubbles as a playable character in the minigames.
WarioWare: Smooth Moves
A 3D Clu Clu Land microgame appears. Avoid the Urchins and black holes and hit the flagpole (1UP).
Super Smash Bros. Brawl
Music: Clu Clu Land (Remix of several songs from the game)
Item: Urchin
Great Concert! Band Brothers DX
In the instrument dictionary: select the Electric Piano and the Clu Clu Land Game Start tune plays.
Other stuff to do
How to play
A general how-to guide to playing the game, including patterns available (in both games) and scoring.
Characters and enemies
This won't be a long list!
That'll probably do for Clu Clu Land, to be honest! I expect after Clu Clu Land I'll want to do a few more games from around that era, including Balloon Fight, Devil World and Ice Climber. They can all go up pretty quickly.
