Kyorochan Land is a Japanese version of the NES platformer Castelian, which is itself based on Nebulous.

The Game Boy and Nintendo Entertainment System versions of Castelian were developed by Bits Studios and released in the United States by Triffix and in Japan by Hiro Entertainment; in these, the lead character is called Julius. The Game Boy and Nintendo versions were later released in Japan as Kyoro Chan Land, which replaced Julius with Kyorochan, jewels with Chocoballs, altered the enemy graphics and (in the Famicom version) added a password system and a pause feature. Kyorochan (キョロちゃん) is a fictional bird that serves as a mascot for a Japanese brand of Morinaga chocolate, known as ChocoBall.
