The game is divided into three tables or Pinball Lands, each consisting of four screens, three ordinary screens, and a boss screen. If you fall off the bottom of the lowest one, you lose a life, unless you press A at the right moment to activate the springboard, which becomes harder each time. Each screen has a variety of things to do.
The aim is to defeat each boss. To get to the boss you must perform a task on the top ordinary screen. The bosses themselves must be defeated by firing Kirby at them, but they will try to stop you, sometimes by temporarily de-activating one or both of the flippers. If you defeat the boss on each table, you face King Dedede himself.
Kirby's Pinball Land was released for the GameBoy in 1993 , a classic pinball game that still entertains today with its challenging levels and fun gameplay.

How to Play
Getting Started
Correctly insert the Kirby's Pinball Land Game Pak into the Game Boy unit and turn the power switch to the "ON" position. You will see the "Nintendo®" logo appear for a few seconds before the title screen appears.
When the title screen appears, press the START button to begin playing.
How to Play
You start with three Kirbys (or three pinballs). Try not to let Kirby drain between the flippers at the bottom of the playfield! Use the flippers to keep Kirby in play and rack up more points!
Game Layout
There are three pinball machines (Pinball Lands) for you to master, each divided into three stages. After successfully passing through the top stage of each pinball machine you come face to face with the boss of that particular Pinball Land. After defeating all three bosses you finally confront King Dedede himself!
When you start the game, you can choose which Pinball Land you want to go to by hitting the appropriate shooting star. You can do this by using the flippers or by using the cannon at the bottom of the screen. To shoot the cannon, use the A Button.

Wispy-Woods Land Mechanics
Outlane Stoppers are activated by passing over a Rollover Switch. This helps to prevent Kirby from rolling out of play. Be careful! The Outlane Stoppers only last for a short period of time!
Maxim Tomatoes and other items appear next to Slippy at the top of the stage. You need to hit a Warp Star to reach the boss of this Pinball Land. To make the Warp Star appear, destroy all three of the Cappies.
If Kirby passes through the Slot Lane, the Slot Machine will spin. If you hit the Dancing Kirby, only the picture with an arrow above it will spin.
Slot Machine Payoffs
•
☆☆☆: Sends out a Warp Star that can take you to a Bonus Game.
•
: A Maxim Tomato will appear which can activate the Drain Stopper.
•
: You don't want this. It makes Drain Stoppers disappear!
Once you've destroyed all six Kaboos, the Big Kaboo will disappear, and the Roulette Hole will appear. When the pinball enters the Roulette Hole, the arrows begin to light up. Press the 'A' Button to select the direction in which you want the ball to be thrown.
When Pinball Kirby passes over the Kirby Triplets, the pictures of Kirby change. Line up three rotund, happy Kirbys and Stoppers will appear. Line up three deflated Kirbys and OOPS! The Stoppers will disappear!
Each time the pinball hits the Mummy Ball, one of the letters in the words "WARP STAR" light up. When all of the letters have been illuminated, the star which will zip you to the Warp Screen will become visible.

Kracko Land Mechanics
Outlane Stoppers are activated by passing over a Rollover Switch. This helps to prevent Kirby from rolling out of play. Be careful! The Outlane Stoppers only last for a short period of time!
When Kirby hits Mr. Bright (the sun) three times, day turns into night, and Mr. Shine (the moon) and stars come out. When Kirby hits Mr. Shine three times a Warp Star appears. The Warp Star will take you to the boss.
If Kirby hits Chucky three times, our good buddy Chucky turns into a Maxim Tomato!
When Kirby hits the Clouds on either side of the pinball machine, various items come into play such as Maxim Tomatoes, which activate the Stoppers, and Warp Stars, which send you to a Bonus Game.
If Pinball Kirby hits Nimbus three times, it will start to rain and the Big Kirby will open his umbrella. If you land the pinball on the top of the umbrella, you will be sent to the Top Stage of the pinball machine.
Each time Kirby hits the Bumpin' Boo on the left side of the machine, a letter in the word "WARP" will light up. When the pinball hits the Bumpin' Boo on the right, a letter in the word "STAR" will light up. When all the letters have been illuminated, a Warp Star appears.
Each time Kirby hits Scarfy, a letter in the word "SCARFY" lights up. When all the letters have been illuminated, Scarfy splits into three Scarfys! If Kirby hits the top Scarfy, this Scarfy is replaced by the pinball, which is then bumped up into the Middle Stage by the other two Scarfys.
