Kirby's round shape made him an obvious pinball, and HAL Laboratory took the idea literally in this 1993 Game Boy game. Instead of a single table, there are three themed tables, each built around a boss from Kirby's Dream Land: Whispy Woods, Kracko, and Poppy Bros. Jr. Each table is stacked three screens high, and the ball travels upward through the floors as you hit targets.
Reach the top floor and you can challenge the table's boss, and clearing all three opens the way to King Dedede. Along the way are bonus rooms and minigames that award points and extra balls. The physics are simple, but the vertical structure and the boss goals give it a sense of progress that most pinball games lack, making it a good pick for short sessions on the handheld.
Tips for Kirby's Pinball Land
Work on the lower floor's targets first; they often open the paths that send Kirby up to the next level.
Nudge into bosses with steady flipper shots rather than wild swings, since a missed return drops Kirby back down a floor.
