Released: 1996
Works with: Any version of Gameboy

Opening Snide Remarks: Kirby must defeat King Dedede by bouncing off walls 
in this blatant rip-off of Arkanoid.

Gameplay section: You start out by bouncing Kirby off one wall with a single
paddle. Gradually, you end up controlling two, three and four paddles, each
on a different wall! You will also find bonus rounds and special powers to
help you get ahead. To open up the final level, you must beat a preset score 
called a Borderline.

Graphics: The graphics are very simple and basically hold overs from every
other Kirby adventure. Amazingly, this game is the first 8-Meg GameBoy game.
It's nice on Super GB.

Sound: Your basic Kirby ping and boing sounds.

Music: Nice music keeps the pace moving.

Play Control: The control pad controls all four paddles, and the A-B buttons
control your bounce. Simple.

Final Analysis: Better than Kirby's Pinball Land, the only thing that hurts
Block Ball is it's almost impossible Borderline Score Goals.
