As the name implies, this is a mini-game based on Pachinko machines. The player controls the rotation of the knob (indicated in bottom-right corner) to adjust the power at which Kirby-shaped Pachinko balls are launched. An unlimited number of balls is given to score as many points as possible in 120 seconds. | As the name implies, this is a mini-game based on Pachinko machines.

For every ball landed into any of seven pockets 10 points are awarded. If one lands directly atop the big Kirby in the center, the player wins a temporary chance to earn more points - Kirby will raise his arms and award 100 points for each ball that hits him inside a 5 seconds frame. | For every ball landed into any of seven pockets 10 points are awarded.

This is the last of eight original mini-games in the collection. The player has to guide as many from a total of 50 balls from the entrance door placed in top left towards the exit in bottom right. The only control is an A button press which alternates extension and retraction between two sets of green platforms. | This is the last of eight original mini-games in the collection.

In the first half, the left part of the field, they start by rolling down several pink slopes. Balls that make through are launched by a [[spring]] into the second half, which includes Pachinko-like pins that lead into [[spike]]s (but occasionally return balls back), and ultimately have to go down a spiral slide and into the exit. | In the first half, the left part of the field, they start by rolling down several pink slopes.
