A twist on a classic game

User Rating: 8.5 | Kirby no Pinball GB
Kirby is a verstile little puff ball. In Pinball Land, you get to knock him around the courses while you also fight off the baddies you have gotten to know from the series. There's the giant tree and the cloud guy, but no special powers this time.

The point of this game is more than scoring points. You actually have a set of different stages you can play in, with different environments and surprises. Each one has its own boss and beating all three will unlock King Dedede.

The graphics were actually smooth for a little Gameboy game. The music was fairly basic, but there were different tracks for each course. The controls were obviously simple, but how much can you do with a d-pad and A/B buttons.

This is a classic from my handheld childhood. I still like it.
