Kirby’s Pinball Land brings the beloved pink puffball to the pinball table in one of the Game Boy’s standout titles. Developed by HAL Laboratory and released in 1993, this imaginative action game replaces the traditional silver ball with Kirby himself. Players launch him across three unique, multi-tiered boardsโWhispy Woods, Kracko, and Poppy Bros.โeach packed with familiar enemies, secrets, and a boss fight waiting at the top.
How to Play
Your goal is to rack up a high score by hitting bumpers, triggering mini-games, and ultimately reaching and defeating the boss of each table to unlock the final showdown with King Dedede.
- Left Flipper: D-pad Left (Browser: Left Arrow)
- Right Flipper: A Button (Browser: Z or X)
- Springboard / Select: A or B Button
- Pause: Start (Browser: Enter)
Tips
- Save yourself: If Kirby falls past your flippers into the gutter, you can often save him by timing a press of the A button exactly as he hits the springboard at the bottom of the screen to launch him back into play.
- Target the warp stars: Look for opportunities to board warp stars on each table. These take you to mini-games that are the fastest way to build your score multiplier and earn extra lives.
