Kersploosh!, known in Europe as Splash or Crash and in Japan as {{nihongo|Hyu~ Stone|ひゅ～ストン|Hyu~suton}}, is an action video game developed by Poisoft for the Nintendo 3DS.

Gameplay
Kersploosh! is a game based on the premise of what an object might see when it is thrown down a well. The goal of the game is to steer the chosen object to the bottom of the well in as fast a time as possible without it breaking. Players can unlock various objects to throw down the well, including a stone, an iron ball, a jewel, a watermelon, a plate, and a matryoshka doll. Each object has unique stats for speed, boost speed, and durability. On the way down, players use the Circle Pad to steer their object in order to avoid obstacles such as wooden planks, shutters, cannons and homing cookies. Giant doughnuts can be passed through to give the object a speed boost while balloons can be popped to recover durability. There are ten wells with their own high score tables, with players able to exchange high scores via StreetPass.{{Cite web|url=https://www.nintendo.co.uk/Games/Nintendo-3DS-download-software/Splash-or-Crash-728167.html|title=Splash or Crash|website=Nintendo.co.uk|access-date=December 26, 2021}}
