Kirby is the ball in this block-breaking game. Destroy all the blocks in each stage by bouncing Kirby off the paddles. There are 10 islands to play through, broken up into stages, and each island has a Borderline score that must be reached if you want to face the final battle.

By pressing the A Button at the right time, you can launch Kirby at full-power. This technique can be used to break tough blocks. Kirby can also gain several abilities by defeating enemies that help clear stages faster.

Finding a Warp Star on a stage will take you away to a bonus game where you can earn extra lives.
