| genre = Puzzle | modes = Single player, multiplayer }} is an action puzzle video game developed by Sonic Team and published by Sega. Directed and produced by Yuji Naka of ''Sonic the Hedgehog'' fame, the game revolves around a series of puzzles where players lead ChuChus into rockets, while avoiding KapuKapus. The game also features a competitive multiplayer mode that pits players against each other in a race to collect the most ChuChus while avoiding and leading KapuKapus towards other players. Originally developed for the Dreamcast and released in November 1999, ''Chu Chu! Rocket'' is credited as the first multiplayer online game on a home console, using the online capabilities of the Dreamcast, along with the Dreamarena service in Europe and, later, SegaNet in North America. Despite the discontinuation of the Dreamcast in March 2001, Sega kept servers for the game live until November 2003, with future versions of the game lacking online multiplayer gameplay. With Sega's move to third-party software development, ''Chu Chu Rocket!'' was ported to the Game Boy Advance as a launch title for the system in Japan and North America. Local multiplayer for the Game Boy Advance version was supported by the Game Link Cable. The game was further ported to iOS in October 2010 and Android in November 2011. The game was both a commercial and critical success at launch, despite various issues with online multiplayer, and is constantly cited as one of the Dreamcast's best games by various critics. Subsequent releases of the game have also been received positively. ==Synopsis== ''Chu Chu Rocket!'' takes place in outer space, where, on a far away planet, thousands of space mice, also known as "ChuChus", inhabit a spaceport. The ChuChus lived peacefully until an infestation of space cats, also known as "KapuKapus", start to invade the spaceport, forcing the ChuChus to seek an escape. In a frenzy panic, the ChuChus scatter all over the spaceport at high speeds, rushing to look for and board the port's four rockets to escape and seek refuge. However, there is only enough fuel for one rocket. Each of the four rockets stationed at the port have a pilot: Chuih, who "really knows how to party", pilots the blue rocket. The careless ChuBei, who feigns ignorance, pilots the yellow rocket. ChuPea, who has a habit of daydreaming, pilots the red rocket, and the steady and reliable ChuBach, who does things at his own pace, pilots the green rocket.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「ChuChu Rocket!」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
