Kirby's Block Ball is a delightful twist on the classic Breakout formula. Instead of a paddle, you control Kirby himself, bouncing and inhaling to clear stages of blocks. The game offers numerous power-ups, creatively designed levels, and a sprinkle of Kirby charm. While the core gameplay remains simple, later levels provide satisfying challenge, and its addictive score-chasing elements add replay value.
Playing on the 3DS Virtual Console, cleared the Border Line on every stage, and fought the true final boss. As far as breakout clones go, this one is fairly creative, but I will probably not be replaying it anytime soon. The soundtrack, however, is one of my favorites; I will always enjoying relistening to it.
