Nimbus[1] is a cloud-shaped enemy and obstacle which appears exclusively in Kirby's Pinball Land. Nimbus is an oval-shaped cloud which patrols the area up near the top of the middle board of Kracko Land, acting as a special sort of bumper. Once hit three times, Nimbus becomes angry, changing to a gray color and moving toward the center of its patrol path, over the head of the Kirby-shaped bumper on the middle of the board. From there, Nimbus starts to rain underneath itself, prompting the Kirby bumper to pull out a parasol, granting access to the uppermost board.

Nimbus cannot be defeated, but it is worth 800 points per collision.
