Kirby no Pinball, Nintendo pinball with three themed tables featuring Kirby. Polished 8-bit presentation and addictive mechanics. Excellent portable pinball.
Kirby no Pinball, the Japanese version of Nintendo's pinball game in which Kirby himself becomes the ball bouncing between the bumpers. The original edition of a colourful spin-off of the pink mascot, it carries the Japanese title and presentation of a licensed pinball classic. Its desirability lies in that regional precedence, Kirby's universal aura and collectors' interest in the Japanese editions of the series' games.
Is Kirby no Pinball still worth playing in 2026?
A pinball game from HAL where Kirby stands in for the ball, Kirby's Pinball Land transposes the pink mascot's world into themed tables packed with enemies, bonuses and bosses to hit. The bounce feel is surprisingly precise and the score chase keeps you starting over. Colorful and well paced, it is one of the best licensed pinballs on the Game Boy and has aged very well. A delightful pick for fans of video pinball and Kirby lovers after a successful spin-off.
