Blurb

"Kirby's back with fast-paced, four-way action!

It's a breakaway bash in this wild new Kirby game of Block Ball! By destroying the blocks on the screen, you clear stages and obtain powers that help in your final confrontation with King Dedede.

Paddles on all four sides of the screen make this an instense four-way action contest. Your quick reactions, and your careful use of Kirby's powers will determine your ultimate fate!"
