The first sequel, ''Kururin Paradise'', was released in 2002 for the Game Boy Advance. It was released in Japan only, even though ''Kururin Paradise'' was previously showcased at [[Electronic Entertainment Expo|E3]] [[History of E3#2002|2002]], the first time a ''Kururin'' game had been announced for the American market.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://gameboy.ign.com/articles/360/360753p1.html|title=E3 2002: Hands-on: Kururin Paradise|website=[[IGN]]|date=2002-05-24|access-date=2010-03-08|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110613191803/http://gameboy.ign.com/articles/360/360753p1.html|archive-date=2011-06-13|url-status=dead}}</ref> Another sequel was also released only in Japan for the [[GameCube]] in 2004, entitled ''[[Kururin Squash!]]'', which became the only title of the series to use [[3D computer graphics]], as well as to appear on a home console.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://cube.ign.com/articles/557/557111p1.html|title=Kururin Squash Playtest|author=Anoop Gantayat|website=[[IGN]]|date=2004-10-14|access-date=2010-03-08|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120403025803/http://cube.ign.com/articles/557/557111p1.html|archive-date=2012-04-03|url-status=dead}}</ref>

Several references to the ''Kururin'' series are made in the [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros.'' series]]. The Helirin makes a cameo appearance as a trophy in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee|Melee]]'', but is incorrectly referred to as "Heririn" in the American version. The Helirin later appears in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl|Brawl]]'' as an Assist Trophy. Unlike most Assist Trophies, it doesn't attack, but it becomes part of the stage, and can be used as a platform or a wall.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.smashbros.com/wii/en_us/items/assist/assist15.html|title=Assist Trophies|author=Masahiro Sakurai|publisher=[[Nintendo]]|date=2008-02-06|access-date=2010-03-08|author-link=Masahiro Sakurai|archive-date=2013-12-24|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131224092143/http://www.smashbros.com/wii/en_us/items/assist/assist15.html|url-status=dead}}</ref> Several other things in the ''Kururin'' series appear as Trophies and Stickers in the game.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.smashbros.com/wii/en_us/gamemode/various/various36_list.html|title=Trophy List|publisher=[[Nintendo]]|date=2008-04-08|access-date=2010-03-08|archive-date=2013-12-24|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131224092135/http://www.smashbros.com/wii/en_us/gamemode/various/various36_list.html|url-status=dead}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.smashbros.com/wii/en_us/gamemode/various/various37_list.html|title=Sticker List|publisher=[[Nintendo]]|date=2008-04-09|access-date=2010-03-08|archive-date=2013-12-24|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131224083910/http://www.smashbros.com/wii/en_us/gamemode/various/various37_list.html|url-status=dead}}</ref>
