This is a really fun game, and the graphics and sound are great... only problem is that is is not GBA SP compatible (I don't know about regular GBA). It loads fine and looks good, but because it works on a motion sensor chip, and GBC cards point down, and GBA SP cards point up, up is down and down is up, and right is left and left is right. You COULD learn to compensate for this, but what a pain!

If, though, GBA regular loads cards the way GBC does, it should make a great addition to your collection. If you have GBA SP, and no GBC, I can't recommend it. Of course, you can get a GBC for $10. at GameStop, if you really want to play this particular game. It is a pretty nifty game.

Kirby Tilt N' Tumble is now considered a bit of an "older" game now, but I decided to write this review up anyway, being the experienced gamer with this one game that I am. So, thanks for reading, and I hope this helps you.

Back when GBA came out on the market and was all the rage, I was stuck with my little, hot pink Gameboy Color when everyone else had the sleek new model. I was also a kirby fanatic, and was desperate for a Kirby game. So after some research on the internet, I finally found one - Kirby Tilt N' Tumble. I was disappointed that it wasn't being sold anymore, so finally, for Christmas 2003 my parents bought it for me from eBay, unfortunately just the cartridge and no instructions or box.

I was anxious to get playing right away that morning, so I popped it in and found it was a very easy game to learn. I already new a little about the controls, tilting to move Kirby in the desired direction, and it was nice that whenever I had to learn a new move to advance, the game would pause and teach me. Eventually, I easily learned the whole game without any instructions!

With 5 goofy yet fun mini-games to play, 8 exciting and challenging words to explore, plenty of cute and cuddly bad guys and a simple, easy-to-follow storyline, Kirby Tilt N' Tumble is a game that doesn't lose its fun anytime soon after buying, versus other games that lose all the fun after you've beat the game. Why, I've owned it for a year already and there's still secret words and warp stars I'm discovering all the time.

Now, there are a few cons I'll warn you about before you go out and spend your money. This isn't the game to bring on that 10-hour car trip to visit Aunt Ruth, because the constant moving in vehicles makes it hard to control Kirby. As well, it's not the kind of game where you can lay back against the pillows, stretch out your feet and sip the lemonade, either. You're always swivelling your body back and forth, side to side, and so forth when tilting your little pink puffball. Not a big deal, but its not just hitting buttons like other games.

I don't have this problem too much, since I usually play in good light, but you may have a hard time keeping an eye on Kirby when you tilt the screen forward and lose sight of him from the light glinting off the screen. Annoying, yes, but the game is still worth it, trust me.

Overall, this game is definitely worth every penny you're paying for it. As long as you don't mind things being cute and cuddly all of the time, Kirby Tilt N' Tumble is a great gaming experience that will last for months and months after your purchase.

Imagine a cross between a platform game and a pinball game and you have kirby tilt 'n tumble. This is like a platform game in that it's got many levels, obstacles, and there's always a boss in the end(which is absurdly easy). However, to really enjoy the game, you go back to the old theory during the Atari's era: score as high as you can. This game has a surprising amount of depth, with many hidden areas to cash in on stars. The red stars are more difficult to get than regular stars, but when you get six, the red stars on the rest of the level become 1 UPs! I have gotten like about 50 lives this way. It's too easy if you play it like a platform. Instead, if you explore every nook and cranny of the levels, you will really get some nice rewards, not to mention the game's all too few minigames.
Buy this game if you want a game that is challenging and it never grows old. I wouldn't reccomend playing it in the car though. Unless you are on a smooth road, the bumps in the road could just steer you into a pit.
