Story **************************************************************************** From the Kirby's Pinball Land Instruction Booklet: Kirby, your pudgy buddy from Dream Land, is back again on Game Boy! This time the game is Pinball, and Kirby will have to face King Dedede and his bosses who guard the three Pinball Lands. In order to defeat King Dedede and his three bosses, Kirby becomes a pinball. This allows him to fight effectively in the Pinball Lands -- each a magical land with all kinds of tricks and bonuses! How high can you score? Can Kirby defeat King Dedede again? Let's find out! Okay Kirby, turn into a pinball and get ready for a wacky pinball battle! (From the Instruction Booklet) **************************************************************************** 2. Controls **************************************************************************** Pressing Left on the + Control Pad operates the left flipper. Pressing the + Control Pad upwards or pressing the B Button shakes the pinball machine. The A Button operates the right flipper. You can see the Top Scores List by pressing the A or B Button on the title screen. The SELECT Button This button is used to save your game in the Game Pak's battery-backed memory. The START Button This Button is used to start the game and to pause a game. When you press this button during a game, the game will pause. To unpause, press the START Button again. Special Controls In addition to the above controls, the A Button is used to activate the Springboard and to choose which direction to shoot the ball out of a Roulette Hole. If you press the A, B, START and SELECT Buttons simultaneously during play, the game will reset back to the title screen. **************************************************************************** 3. Starting **************************************************************************** When you start off, you will have your pinball flippers, and a cannon to blast your self into a warp star, which will take you to one of the 3 levels. On the screen, the levels will appear: Wispy, Kracko, Poppy With a photo of each boss along with a few baddies. However, in my personal opinion and how Nintendo power lists the levels, here they are in order of easy to hard. Poppy, Wispy, Kracko In the levels, the challenge is to reach the top of the level and complete the task of knocking out baddies to challenge the boss. There is also the added challenge is also to grab some points. Congratulation screens will pop up every 500.000 points or so, with the famous Kirby victory dance. **************************************************************************** 4. Loosing Your Ball **************************************************************************** When you reach the bottom part of the level, if you fall through the gap you hit the bottom. But.. there is a platform (like in Kirby's Adventure) you control by pressing A in time to rocket yourself back up. This also gives you a chance to reach the top, although hard to do. You may only do this a few times and each time you do, the platform becomes smaller and harder to use. By small things you do in the game, you can make a maxim tomato appear, either by collecting one or hitting something with your ball in a certain way. The tomato will now block the hole which you can fall. However, this is not 100% effective and will not stop you falling from the sides. **************************************************************************** 5. Items **************************************************************************** ---------------------------------------------- Pep Brew ---------------------------------------------- You can usually find these on the bumper sides. They stop you from going over one time. ----------------------------------------------- Maxim Tomato ----------------------------------------------- Grab a famous tomato and the space between your flippers will be blocked for a short amount of time. ----------------------------------------------- 1UP ----------------------------------------------- Grab this for an extra life ----------------------------------------------- Cake ----------------------------------------------- This yummy cake is worth some points ----------------------------------------------- Candy ----------------------------------------------- Grab a lollypop for some points. ----------------------------------------------- Warpstar ----------------------------------------------- Hop on one of these to go back the level screen, or if your even luckier, grab one to head to the bonus stages! ----------------------------------------------- Bomb ----------------------------------------------- Watch out for these, because they throw you off course! **************************************************************************** 6.

Whispy Woods Guide **************************************************************************** Level 1 ------- There are 6 little Kabu's and one big Kabu, plus a mumbie. Hitting the Mumbie 8 times will get you the warpstar, while hitting the 6 Kaby's will make the big Kabu give you a lift to the next level, or whatever direction you choose while he aims. Level 2 ------- The famous slot machine of the game. Hitting the giant Kirby, or rolling over the top of them will cause the slot machine to start. 3 Kirby's - A push to the top by the big Kirby 3 Maxim Tomatoes - A tomato closes the gap between your flippers 3 Stars - A warp star to the bonus round There are also two gordos there to act as obstacles. But then there are two holes in each corner of the leve. UFO will come in and out of these with the items you won from the slot machine. Going through these holes will let you come out the other side. Level 3 ------- A variety of baddies, but keep your eye on the frog on the top platform. Knocking the caps off of all 3 cappys, will make a warp star appear next to the frog. Hurry though, it's only there for a little while. **************************************************************************** 9. Kracko Guide **************************************************************************** Level 1 ------- Once again, more gordos along with a scarfy and some ghosts. Hitting the ghosts will cause the warp star to appear, and hitting scarfy 8 times will make the scarfys give you a boost. However, you must land on the top one to get to the top, landing on the others will shoot you in the direction they are facing. Level 2 ------- Here there are a lot of clouds. Hitting the left cloud will cause it to release an item or creature at the other cloud. Here you can collect extra points. The cloud that is moving across the screen, Nimbus, after you hit him a few times, he will get upset and ran on the Kirby in the middle of the screen. Then, the Kirby will raise his Umbrella to shield himself from the rain. When this happens, if you land on Kirby's parasol, he will shove you up to the next level. Level 3 ------- Here, Mr. Bright is hanging about, while a crazy little guy tries to get in your way of hitting him. After hitting Mr. Bright several times, it will become night and he will vanish. In place of him, Mr. Shine will appear, a long with many stars. After breaking through the stars enough to hit Mr. Shine a few times, a warp star will appear to take you up to Kracko. **************************************************************************** 10. Poppy Bros. Guide **************************************************************************** Level 1 ------- On the bottom level, you will have Frosty, Chilly and 3 Kirbys. If you hit Frosty 6 times, he will grab your ball and spin around. You can then aim to shoot for the top, which will take you to the next level. Hitting Chilly 8 times will turn him into a warp star and touching it will take you back to the start screen, where you can choose another level. You cannot have both active at once. For example, if you have the warp star, and hit Frosty the make him able to shoot your ball, Chilly will become normal again and you have to hit him all 8 times to turn him into a warp star again. Hitting the 3 Kirbys to match in a certain way, will you give you a maxim tomato. Level 2 ------- On the middle level, you will find two Kirbys. The one to the left has a thought cloud over his head, and when you hit him, whatever he is thinking he will spit out. Here is the list of things he spits out, along with what they do: Maxim Tomato - Covers the gap in which you fall, however not 100% effective. Squishy - Will send you to the next level Warp Star - Will take you to a bonus game Apple - Nothing, points Sparky - Points Gordo - Nothing and a big annoyance The Kirby to the right, when hit, will inhale what the other spit out. The poppy brothers are trying to get in your way, and will stick their head out and place bombs to distract your ball's course. They can be very distracting in trying to aim for the left spitting Kirby. Level 3 ------- The top level has a row of three eggs, and below it, a hen. Hitting the hen enough times will turn her into a tomato. Everytime an egg is hit, it cracks. You need to hit the egg enough times for the chick to hatch. Sounds easy... but you have the Poppy Bros. coming out of the tunnels above and it appears they are, disposing somehow of the eggs (probably blowing them up). So, you need to hatch the eggs and hit the Poppy Bros. before they blow up the egg. If they do blow up an egg, you start all over. When you get all the eggs hatched, the eggs will go up into the tunnel, and come back with a string of different things following of them, and one of them will have the warp star to take you to the boss. However, if you miss the star the first time they come around, you have to crack the eggs all over again. **************************************************************************** 11. Boss Guide **************************************************************************** -------------- Poppy Brothers -------------- In this fight, there are two platforms... and a Poppy Brother. He will bounce around from platform to platform occasionally throwing bombs which will stun your flipper(s). After hitting him a few time, he will split and another Poppy Brother will join the fight. They will keep throwing their bombs, but as long as you keep hitting them, their shots will become less. ----------- Wispy Woods ----------- Wispy Woods is a step harder, but not by much. He will exhale puffs of "spit" at your flippers, and apple will fall occasionally. Not too hard since Wispy is so big. ------ Kracko ------ Things get harder here still, but also not as much. Kracko starts off just as an eye, then evolves into a cloud. Kracko will shoot off various things at you, beams and babuts mostly. Still not as hard, but at one point he can be invulnerable to attacks, causing Kirby to bounce around a loose a little control. ----------- King Dedede ----------- After Beating all the Levels ---------------------------- Now, there will be a warp star in the middle, and as you noticed each time you beat a level, flashing letters appeared. Below is a line which is dashed out. When you get all the letters it will spell EXTRA. What this does yet... I am not sure either :) Jump into the center warpstar and prepare to fight King Dedede. Like all the bosses, they are actually pretty easy, the hardest thing to do, is not to fall inbetween the flippers, where a warp star waits to take you back to the top level you just came from. When you rocket up to King Dedede, all you will see is Kirby, the flippers, and King Dedede in a spotlight. He will throw a few bombs, but hitting him back will cause all the lights to go on, and he will start his Kirby "mock" of puffing himself up and floating around. After hitting him a few more times, he will become normal and start firing beams with both hands at both flippers. Hitting him while he is doing this will stop the him from firing the beams, and the flippers won't even be stunned and go back to normal. After beating King Dedede you have beaten game **************************************************************************** 12.
