Clu Clu Land is an arcade and Nintendo Entertainment System game released in 1984 and was later released in North America on the Virtual Console on September 1, 2008 and in Europe on March 6, 2009 for the Wii and in both regions on October 17, 2013 for the Wii U.
In Clu Clu Land, the player is a bubble fish named Bubbles (Gloopy in the original Japanese version) who swims around in a maze trying to uncover all the golden Ingots.
Clu Clu Land's story starts with a type of sea urchin, the Unira, stealing all of the treasures in the underwater kingdom of Clu Clu Land. Bubbles, the hero, sets out to retrieve the treasure. The object of the game is to uncover all the gold bars called Ingots in each stage while avoiding the Unira and Black Holes. Ingots usually form an outline of something, such as a heart or a mushroom. The only way Bubbles can turn around to change directions is by means of Turning Posts located throughout the stages. Bubbles can stun the Unira by using a Sound Wave. When they're stunned, Bubbles can push them into the wall to get rid of them and receive points. If Bubbles is hurt by the Unira, she will lose a life. A life is also lost when Bubbles falls into a Black Hole, or when time runs out. The game ends if Bubbles has lost all her lives.
In later levels, the player has to pass over the Ingots twice to uncover them, and passing over them in later levels will re-bury them.
