Let's Get 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

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 sucessfully
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!
----------------------------------------------------------

Button.

The Bad Guys
Wispy-Woods
Try to make Kirby hit Wispy-Woods in the face. If you don't
panic, you shouldn't have too much trouble.
Kracko
Extremely quick, Kracko's spinning attack can knock Kirby for
a loop! Look Out!!
Poppy Brothers
After attacking several time, Poppy splits into two Poppies!
Watch for simultaneous bomb attacks!
Caution! If one of the Bosses' attacks hits one of the
flippers, it will be immobilized and will not work for a brief
period of time! Be careful! If you make a mistake and let
Kirby drain while fighting one of the Bosses, you will be
thrown back to the Top Stage of that Pinball Land!
---------------------------------------------------------------
Page 16
The Springboard (A Second Chance!)
If Kirby drains off the Bottom Stage of a machine, he falls to
the Springboard. By pushing the A Button when the Springboard
drops down to its lowest position, Kirby can jump back up to
the bottom stage of that Pinball Land. If your timing is just
right, Kirby can jump up to the middle or even to the Top
Stage of the pinball machine! Kirby can wear out the
Springboards if he uses them too often during one life. The
bigger a Springboard is, the easier it will be to jump off of
it.
Extra Kirbys
After defeating a Boss and moving back to the Stage Warp
screen, a ball with the letters E-X-T-R-A flashing on it
appears, replacing the Warp Star that was previously there.
Each time Kirby hits the ball, the displayed letter is lit. If
you can spell EXTRA, you'll get an extra Kirby!

Bonus Games (How to Rack Up Points!)
In the middle stage of each pinball machine, you can access a
Bonus Game by hitting a warp star. Each bonus game has
excellent ways to add substantially to your score and increase
your bonus. Each bonus game has a time limit. During this
time, any Kirby that goes between the flippers will be shot
back into the
playfield.
