Kirby's Pinball Land, known in Japan as Kirby's Pinball (カービィのピンボール Kābī no Pinbōru) is a 1993 pinball video game for the Game Boy starring Kirby as the ball. The game features three pinball tables, each owned by a classic boss of the Kirby series: Wispy Woods, Kracko, and the Poppy Brothers.

[edit] Gameplay
The game is played much like that of pinball, with two flippers used to help keep Kirby in play as he bounces off walls, bumpers and enemies, scoring points by doing so. Each pinball table has three floors; Kirby must make his way up to the third floor, where a Warp Star that delivers Kirby to where the boss resides can be attained. After destroying all three bosses, a warp star appears that leads to fight with King Dedede. After defeating Dedede, Kirby is brought back to the level selection screen and can play through the levels again at will.
If Kirby falls through the bottom of the pinball table, he will land on a springboard. If the player presses the 'A' button at just the right moment, the springboard will launch Kirby back up and out of the hole at varying levels of power, without losing a life—it is possible to reach any of the three floors, depending on the timing of the jump. The size of this springboard decreases with each use, however, and after a certain amount of retries Kirby becomes unable to jump high enough to reach the hole; a life is then lost, and a new Kirby is launched into play.
[edit] Minigames
Each table also has its own minigame, which can be accessed from the second floor of each table. When time runs out, Kirby is sent back to the third floor.
