  • Clu Clu Land ? The greedy Sea Urchins have stolen all of Clu Clu Land?s gold bars and buried them in a series of mazes. As Bubbles, a brave bubble fish, you?ll set out to uncover all of the gold bars in each maze. With 20 stages to complete and increasingly complex conditions (like having to pass over the gold bars twice to uncover them), you might just want to bring along a friend for help.
These three games join classics like Super Mario Bros. 3, Donkey Kong, The Legend of Zelda and many others, all of which have been enhanced with online features.
