'''''Arden Rarden''''' (あるでんらるでん) is a platformer for Famicom that was developed by Pixel and planned to be released by Taito. The game was later released by IGS as ''Robocco Wars'' (ロボッ子ウォーズ), replacing only the player character with a robot. It is not known why they changed the character or publisher of this game. Arden Rarden prototype ROM is currently unconfirmed, but is likely in the developer's possession.

This game was also exhibited at the 1990 Tokyo Toy Show.
